Winning in Lambeau wasn’t a priority for the Packers? Please explain.
I wouldn't say not a priority just not a certainty.

6th!! Special Teams is 6th?!?!

Found on the internet:
They lost to the Cardinals (6-5), Lost to the Bills (9-2) , Beat the Rams (5-6), Beat the Raiders (2-9) and Beat the Patriots (3-9). They beat the 3 teams under 500, and lost to the teams above 500.
The Raiders, Rams, and Patriots rank 13, 23, 27th in yards giving up by the defense
The Rams, Patriots and Raiders are 23, 25, 29th in scoring giving up by the defense.
Packers Rank 9th in yards, and 10th in scoring defensively.
The Rams, Patriots, Raiders rank 19, 24, 29th in yards for offense.
The Rams, Raiders, Patriots rank 21, 26, 29th in scoring for offense.
Packers rank 6th in yards and 8th in scoring for offense.
Packers are way better then the previous 3 teams they beat. Also you have to factor that this game is on a short week and in GB where the Dolphins are not used to playing in 20 degree weather.
Wins in the NFL are hard.
Winning three in a row is a good thing (ir)regardless of your opponent.
Pointing out the lack of merit in an opponent's victories is not really any different than lauding your own team's successes.
Yup, last week means nothing. Fun to talk about, fun to reminisce but there is no correlation the next game.

Kicking got fixed. Who thought Narveson wasn't going to make that 50 yarder?
Punting, Oh Danny Boy.
And the coverage units.

That GIF just cracks me up when used in that context. Still laughing out loud each time I see it. Well played PBoi.

Tua is 0-7 in games played under 40 degrees.
"The forecast looks chilly for Thursday night’s Packers-Dolphins game. Temperatures will be upper 20s at kickoff, with wind chills falling back into the teens. Skies will be cloudy, with maybe a few flurries. Accumulating snow is not expected."
Damn, would be great to get some lake effect snow during the game.
The Packers' record on Thanksgiving is 15-20-2. Or has this been posted already??? Not a very good record eh?? Please Green Bay......kick their ass!!!! I just want a win, not giving any score, just want THEM to win. ♥️ 💚 💛
Packers lost nearly every game in the 50s, back when they would play the Lions every year... DET was good, they won a title or 2 back then.

Somewhere in the past few months I read a former Packers player said that we no longer have a cold weather advantage because practices are held indoors at the Hutson facility when it is cold. True? If so it’s a big mistake imho.

From what I remember they did that when Holmgren was there

How long have you been doing this? You need to get your lucky Packers gear on and watch the game live with the rest of us. Whatever happens happens. If it's good we're ecstatic, if not we vent. Game threads are for the moment. The funnest part is it's everyone's raw reactions. You would add a lot in that regard.
I just went back and re-read the Bucks game thread after the game tonight .....it's friggin hilarious!😆
Two stats that are most predictive of winning an individual game are : 1. Turnover differential 2. Average yards gained per pass attempt. I used to try to track this weekly and found that if a team won both categories, they won the game over 90% of the time. I know that teams learned this from their analytics departments and that is why you see so much cover 2 and an increased focus on punching the ball on tackles.
We are currently 6th in TO differential and 5th in yards gained per pass attempt.
On the negative side , we are 16 defensively in yards allowed per pass attempt.

I can't do the game threads while the game is actually on because for me, it's all focus on the televised game. I can't keep up with the posts, let alone type fast enough to make any salient point in realtime (yeah, I know, when does this jackass make a salient point - lol).
GB is 6-4 at home in the LaFluffer era in cold weather games (Kickoff temp below 32 degrees). Some Packers fans like to believe GB playing in those elements is a huge advantage but I think it's more of a myth than anything.
You mean 6-3. Mo Drayton is responsible for the SF loss.
I also see posts that say what happens before it shows on my broadcast--depending on location or TV service, some must be on a few seconds delay? Like Xavier's INT I saw a post about it before it happened.
I know pirated streams are usually about 10-15 seconds behind the TV broadcast
And if you are watching an OTA broadcast that's faster than cable, satellite, etc.
And if anyone is listening to local radio that's going to be ahead of everything else.

Yah, but I still love you, man!
FWIW Espn Gamecast gives the Pack a 66.3% chance of winning.

I’m a 73 year old fan. I know it didn’t used to be a myth. Here’s an interesting article:
- Green Bay's record since 1970 in games at 32 degrees or less at kickoff: 90-49-3. That's a 63% winning percentage overall and 65% if we eliminate ties from the equation.
…games that are less than 11 degrees at kickoff, the Packers are 9-14. But they're also 15-6-1 in games between 11 and 20 degrees.
…Since the start of the 1992 season, Green Bay is 67-21-1 in games with freezing-or-worse temperatures at kickoff. That's a winning percentage of 75% (and 76% if we weed out the tie).

Not to mention OTA is uncompressed HD too. It looks amazing!
@DurangoDoug posted:FWIW Espn Gamecast gives the Pack a 66.3% chance of winning.
Which means they have 100% chance of losing if they pay any attention to that crap!
I'm hopeful X's personal matter is taken care of before Thursday.
