Will this be a "signature win" or an exposing Angry Bald Man loss that should push Pettine out the door at the end of the season?
I have a sneaking suspicion there won't be much room for anything else. This will either shut up naysayers who believe the Pack is a smoke-n-mirrors team that can't stack up against quality defenses OR these same naysayers get to pound their chest at the end of this one crowing "I told you so".
Energy/Belly Fire or whatever the F you want to call it, the Packers better be fired up for this one. Because the Xanax induced game they played yesterday won't come close to cutting it against the Colts.
Henry could give the pregame speech. That should bring the belly fire level up to Def Con 4!
My one hope for the awful performance this week is that they were looking ahead to this tough Colts matchup.
Maybe not having to worry about a strong wind will help the offense a bit. The offense played well in the 2 domes they were in. Let’s hope they can play as well this time around as they did at Minnesota and New Orleans.
WTF, make up your mind. Trade Kirkland to the Niners or win the division?
What a dope.
Not liking the Colts matchup at all. Packers have shown that they don't fare well against a team that comes out and punches them in the mouth, and that's exactly what type of team the Colts are. Quentin Nelson is a beast and may be the meanest OL in the game and the rest of their OL plays the same way. Throw in the success Rivers experienced against GB last year and this may be an ugly game.
Yeah, Rivers stunk last year against most teams, especially the Vikings and he cut us up with ease.
Love having Lazard back. If he picks up where we left off, we'll be fine.
I wonder what the game line would be according to former #10 Colts QB Art Schlichter who I believe is due for another prison release next year?
watched TNF last week, Colts v Titans. all dem talking heads picked the Titans, I said I'll take the Colts but they'll need a couple things to go their way, and those things happened. They did a helluva lot of quick passing - the Packers kryptonite. We'll see if their ready for it or just do what they do again and hope for the best....
Just comes down to energy and mistakes. Colts are as beatable as any team, if we let them get the momentum and don’t force mistakes then they will work us over. Gotta have a good gameplan on offense. We know what the Colts will do on offense, every team will do the same thing until we stop it consistently.
Since the Colts moved to Indy back in the mid '80s, I honestly can't remember the Packers ever beating them there in Indiana no matter what building they played in. The 1st game I remember was 1985 where the Packers got caught looking ahead to the Bears game and got absolutely hammered by a mediocre Colts team.
The next one I remember was 1997, one of the best Packers' teams of my lifetime vs. a Colts team that hadn't won a game. The Pack had a double digit lead, but then Reggie White went out with an injury mid-game and from that point forward the Colts just dominated them and I believe got over 40 points that day for their 1st win of the year. Not only that, by the end of the game I began to feel sick and ended up in the hospital for 3 days fighting for my life with a blocked intestine. I lived, but still was bummed about that horrible loss.
The 2004 loss in Indy was some of the worst pass defense I can ever remember a Packers' team having. Mike Pettine's defenses look like the '85 Bears compared to how the Pack looked that day.
The 2012 loss was the only competitive game I can remember with the Colts in Indy. That was one of Andrew Luck's 1st big comebacks.
Anyways.... history means nothing come this weekend, but man it would be nice if once in my life I could see the Pack beat the Colts in Indy. I don't recall seeing a victory there yet by the Pack in the 30+ years the Colts have been there. Here's to hoping we see the first one on Sunday.
Matt Lafluer has never lost to the Colts as a head coach. That is a fact.
Beat the Colts and you got a 3 game lead with 6 to play.
Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Erin Andrews have Packers-Colts from Indy this Sunday.

Injuries are part of the game. They need better depth on O.

Cook will trip on the rug, in the Stapler, and dislocate a kneecap. End of season for the vikings. The woulda, shoulda, coulda talk from Paul Allen begins as soon as the cart wheels Cook off the field. The Packers found a way to lose to this inferior team. That eats at me almost more than anything. See my next post.

Since both the Packers and the vikings play their games at the 4:25 pm(3:25pm Central), the Packers-Colts game won't be aired in my area. Why does the League do this? They make me hate minnesota even more than I normally do. I'll be listening to the Packer Radio Network to hear Wayne, Larry and Kuhhhhnnn call the plays. That is much better than listening to Aikman and Buck, any way.
Dood....VPN (I use Proton) & Stream the game. It's pretty easy
I use Proton across the board. Don't use PIA, now owned by Israeli intelligence agency.
Proton VPN for anyone that needs it.
Swiss company, big time advocates of privacy.
Both.
Just remember, a lot of other "free" VPNs are garbage. Research your VPN. I use Proton for mail, VPN and storage and it's worth it. It's amazing how much less spam and shit you get. I get significantly less "shopping" suggestions. Just shows you for all the "security" Google touts they are tracking your every damn keystroke.
FYI - Proton usually has a Black Friday deal. Last year I purchased a discounted 2-year deal for Proton on BF.
And they give you early access to new features and combo service benefits. They just introduced Import Assistant that'll import other email accounts into their encrypted account.

Watch on your PC/tablet/phone instead.
Here are some streams I use, and they work very well:
720pstream.me
sportsurge.net
nflbite.com
I usually use 720pstream, but if that doesn't work, I'll go to sportsurge, and watch from the 24sports streamer.
But, if I use VPN, does that mess with my region for YouTube TV?
Matt LaFleur says #Packers CB Jaire Alexander is still working through the concussion protocol, but "hopefully he'll be available" against Colts this week. If Packers could get Alexander and Kevin King (quad) back, huge for this defense.

Just because Allen Lazard is back on the 53 doesn't make it an automatic that he'll be active vs. the Colts. Core muscle surgery is a difficult recovery. "We're certainly going to have to ease him back in," coach Matt LaFleur said. "We're hopeful to have him back for Sunday, but we'll see how his body reacts."

It shouldn't but if it does, simply disconnect from VPN to watch YTTV.
Also, if you travel to a different area of the U.S. - allow location access & with YTTV you will get the local channels where ever your current location is.
You simply need to "check in" to your home area every 90 days.
Case in point, I live in CA but traveled to Nevada for family related reasons. I'm currently watching Nevada locals on my YTTV. Sweet right?

THAT would be super helpful
Has to be more than a little frustrating for Packer fans in NW Wisconsin.
purple sprawl, even worse than urban sprawl

You have no idea.
That's worrisome. This offense, including AR, needs to come out focused and put the foot on the gas. These are the kind of ILB's that usually sends this offense off the rails...
Matt LaFleur says Colts' speed is similar to what #Packers saw vs. 49ers last year. Colts defense not overly complicated, but quite prolific with basics: "What they do, they do it so damn well." Key is avoiding negative plays: "You earn every yard you get against this defense."
