It's Chargers Week

Chargers memories 😡.   Are we over the trade for John Hadl yet?  Nope .  If you’re young and clueless, look up those trade details.  

That trade is one of my first memories of the Packers and can still remember how pissed off Packers fans were whether they were young or older.  Its been almost 50 years and that trade still stings and set that franchise back for a long time and fans don't know just how badly run the Packers were for decades.

As for this weekend, I have zero expectations and I didn't when I first saw the schedule.  My biggest concern is how Dingle Barry will draw up a game plan against a team that just scored 38 on Detroit.

Lance Alworth. Curt Gowdy and Al DeRogatis on the call. NBC

Score this weekend....

Chargers 30

Packers 17

Going way out on a limb here but I have the Packers with 31.       Waiting for the inevitable thumbs down.

Bingo! You got it!

22-31

Packers win 55-10.

Disclaimer:  I have no idea what I’m talking about

Barry will play prevent all day to avoid the 50 burger.   This leads t the chargers having 45 mins of TOP and they score on every drive.  

Jordan Love commands a beautiful 4th quarter drive capped by a Musgrave TD over the middle.   PackerRick ejaculates so ferociously his left testicle explodes and is put on season ending IR.

49 - 7 Bolts.

If I'm reading this chart correct -- and I like to think that I am -- the only volume WRs more effectively separating in man coverage this season than Dontavyion Wicks are Mike Evans and Garrett Wilson.

That's ... I mean damn . https://t.co/bmZrtC9rqF

Jaire Alexander still not practicing, but Quay Walker is. Rudy Ford is also not practicing after playing on Sunday.

Dammit, he's going to give up all the secrets about our defense.

In other words, nothing.

Coach: How do we beat GBs defense?

Hollins: Just run the ball.  They won’t even try to stop it

Coach: You’re kidding?

Hollins: Nope LOL

Coach: LOL

Coach: Even with two down linemen and three down OLBs? So what if we need three yards to get a first down?

from the Green Bay Packers website…..
🚨 A limited number of tickets are available for Sunday's #LACvsGB game due to the Chargers returning a portion of their allotment.

Because they didn't sell?

Each player gets so many tickets to bring family and friends right?  since the Chargers players didn't use all of them, they return them...I think

Does this happen a lot??  Guess I’ve never really noticed if this happens a lot or not.

Probably if they don't return them they end up paying for unused tickets. No Charger fans bought them.

It doesn't have anything to do with players.
All matchups have tickets available in the two cities involved.
The only Super Bowl I attended was due to my father sending me two tickets from GB's allotment. SB tickets are available to all teams.
So I got to see the queens lose to Madden's Raiders.

Can't even give em away

that's the second time I have ever been notified by packers.com that there are tickets available, that's going to impact tourism...that should get attention at the head table...

Yes. It's not like the Chargers are a boring team, and they have a superstar QB, but they don't really a fanbase so they don't travel well. Their support in San Diego was tepid at best and there aren't many people in LA who are strong Chargers fans.

The guys at the head table won't have any problems with the next home game. That's against the Chiefs. They travel very well and have the type of fanbase that would see Lambeau Field as a bucket list item for a game. Mahomes is almost on the Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Giannis, Ohtani, Lebron, etc. level in terms of a professional athlete you want to see in person as well. If Taylor Swift shows up for that game, it will be the biggest media frenzy in Green Bay in years. Maybe they can get her to go down the sledding hill? Those tickets might get expensive.

By the time they get to the last two home games, they might have trouble giving tickets away. I wouldn't be surprised to see significant numbers of empty seats at Lambeau for the first time in a while. Who is going to want to sit outside on December 17th to watch Baker Mayfield and Jordan Love duel it out? And then there's the January 7th closing game when the Bears and Packers will duel it out for draft position.

Doesn't look like Alexander is going to play and Rudy Ford if iffy .....going to have to score a lot of points to win this one

CHI fans will gladly take up those seats if Fields is back and starts playing well and they start winning leading up to that last game.  That fanbase desperately needs to see him beat the Packers.  If he's not playing well and they, along with CAR, are looking at two of the top 3 or 5 picks in the draft, with eyes on Williams or Maye, they'll all stay home.

Charger fans can't handle the cold and can't find snow pants at any boutique in downtown L.A. They would buy Viking fan pants 2nd hand but they are soiled.

And they sure ain't gonna wear these:

What made you think there’s only one list?

More likely it is because it is a "Gold Package" game.

Read on the JSO that tickets on the secondary market for the Chargers were going for below face value, as well as some other games on the schedule.
