He might get a "push" on that bet. (30-23) I'll be surprised if the Rams can keep it that close. It depends on the Packer D.
I think the Rams are going to have at least 2 turnovers. That could really make it 33/35-13.
@artis posted:If there's one thing Rodgers has settled into this year, it's making the conscious choice to take what's there.
It is this, but Rodgers has also said that year 2 in the O he now knows exactly where everyone will be. It's muscle memory and he is not even having to think now.
Madden simulation has the Packers winning 23-20. Bobby has both the TD's with a big day. The rest of the yards are pretty well spread around with no one having 100 yards.
Jared Goff's passer rating under pressure in 2020: 45.9. Ranks 26th among 29 QBs with at least 300 drop backs, per @PFF. Has thrown 7 INTs under pressure, second-most.

Packers avoid the mistakes and just have a very average day on offense and they should win.
I'm not saying....I'm JUST SAYING!!
Last week was the Rams first game all season they didn’t turn the ball over. Don’t be shocked if Green Bay’s defense outplays the Rams on Saturday.

Any of you kittens know the over/under on this bad boy? Curious to see what that would be and if the line moved with Goff being named the starter
Started out at 46.5 & seems folks are betting UNDER as it's down to 45.5. I like over

Thanks @Boris. Good info.

I swear to god I am not making this up. One of my guys who works for me has tested positive for COVID this morning. Because of being in close proximity and contact tracing I am officially quarantined and my issue about the game is no more. Good thing I stocked up on items for old fashions and beer before I found out. Go Pack Go!
Yeah! Woohoo. Just hope your guy recovers well from COVID. Go Pack!
Packers, Old Fashioned, and beer. Proof that God loves us.
So glad this is at Lambeau. Rams top rated defense is built on speed and power(damn good scheme too) ....hopefully somewhat negated due to grass and weather. #homefield
Rams front is tough, we've seen similar from Tampa Bay and recent 49er defenses. Say it again, it's all up to the Packer O-line. Give Rodgers time and open some creases and we're golden.
On defense, just don't see how the Rams can score much.
They lost to the Jets....at home. Gave up 23.

Speaking of Old Fashioned. I have been trying to get the Wisconsin Old Fashioned recipe down but it just doesn't turn out right. Anyone have a good Wisconsin recipe?
@Pikes Peak posted:They lost to the Jets....at home. Gave up 23.
Heckler, have you tried making one with brandy?
I haven't made it with brandy yet. I think I need to try and make sure that I give it a trial run tonight.
Brandy is the only choice for true WI old fashioned. Sour to be campy.
But there are many different "WI old fashioned" recipes. Depends on your tastes. Do you want it as a straight up cocktail or with a mixer (sour or sweet)?
I've tried a ton of different recipes before I found the one I prefer. I like this one mostly because I think it's how my parents made them and I remember it from being a kid an sneaking sips on the way to handing them to visiting uncles and aunts.
This is my Brandy Old Fashioned Sour
1.5oz Brandy
1 sugar cube (omit if using sour = Squirt)
1 Orange slice
2 Cherries and their juices (brandied maraschino if you have them)
Dash of bitters
build in a highball glass. hit sugar cube with (no sugar if using mixer) bitters, muddle with orange & cherries. add brandy, stir. ice. top with sour or sweet if you prefer.
Straight up is without mixer but keep the sugar.
I'll send you the bill on the covid "out".
I am counting on the Packers winning on Saturday. Who do we want them to face next week?. I would not mind playing and beating the Saints. Saints fans are worse than Bucs fans as far as thinking they are mistreated by the league and constantly complaining about the refs. They also seem to hate Rodgers more than most teams fans. I dont think Brees will handle the cold well and teh Packers probably match up with them better. I would not mind the Packers curb stomping Brady and Arians in the cold at Lambeau but that would mean I would have to root for them to beat the Saints and I don't think I could stomach that. So Go Saints? ugh...
I don't care. We will beat either if we get them at Lambeau. I rewatched the Saints game from earlier this year and will be sharing my thoughts if we face them. Bucs, we got a good start in both O and D till the Pick six.
They won't get one of those at Lambeau.

They definitely have weapons on offense. But in the handful of games I watched this year, they've showed no wow factor and have appeared to be very inconsistent. The misdirection and counter plays need to be kept to a minimum. GB needs a good defensive performance to keep building on what they've shown the last 4-5 games. I think they're capable of it.
Good thing with this matchup is the Rams need to lean heavily into their run game to have any success on O and that just so happens to be something our D has been peaking at lately. Could be a relatively low scoring game.
Rodgers shit the bed in January 2012 and he’s been dying to get a title game in Lambeau ever since.
He’s going to eviscerate LA tomorrow. He wants to play a Title Game in Lambeau. Bucket list with him is strong.
Weather for Saturday looks wet and sloppy. Rodgers has said before the hardest thing for a QB in cold weather is getting used to how the ball feels and throws, doubly so if it's cold and wet.
He's had enough time in these elements that he just needs a couple throws to dial it in, but has said that QB's that aren't used to it (Goff), can really struggle cuz the ball just throws differently than normal
@artis. Agree they have weapons. Their inconsistency IMO comes from their QB.
Akers is a talented back, hopefully Pettine is ready to stop the run/screens and make Goff beat us. Rams like to throw WR screens and WR sweeps. Gotta stop the short stuff and make Goff go downfield.
Goff in cold weather (small sample):
0 TD
5 INT
** Plus - recent Thumb surgery

Gotta keep containment on the misdirection bootlegs, don't give receivers time to cross the field to the ball side. I wonder if we'll see us in 5 man front on run downs, or maybe a 4 man front with Clark & Snacks as the interior 2.

He better go soak some balls in a bucket of water and huck 'em around. Not sure what's happening in GB at the moment but it snowed this morning and now it's raining in Minneapolis. The kind of slushy shit that makes for a slip and slide field.

Well I guess there is a silver lining to this whole pandemic after all. 😀
Enjoy the game and stay healthy!!

Rodgers was on the Pat McAfee show a couple weeks back and he said the absolute stooooopidest drills they ever did were the wet balls drills. He and his team mates hated them and said they served no purpose...LOL.
Some of that is because of how often they switch out balls these days, it never gets the chance to become a 100lb sponge anymore.
Fuck you Pakrz.
Neuman!
rams are going to try to rattle the packers offense early.
Key word "try"
packers too good.

Agreed. As Goff goes, so goes their offense.
So not well then.

Before the game the tarp comes off. Then the field is fine. But as the afternoon wears on then the moisture begins to be slick and possibly freeze. Next the football cools down and gets harder and maybe a bit slick too. As the game goes on then the opening game adrenaline loses its punch. Overconfident players from a warmer climate begin to rethink their macho decision to play in short sleeves. Then players like AJ Dillon hits them over and over and it hurts. It really, really hurts.
