Last night wasn't as close as the final score suggested. Having a hard time thinking of a bigger beatdown I have seen us deliver.
That was among the lowest heartrate and blood pressure games I can remember.
Usually even sucky teams can have "if they got lucky they could score" -moments, but the Saints weren't even close. I bet the ratings tanked after we scored the 2nd or 3rd TD. They had two plays inside our 30, one a strip sack, second an INT. Honestly, I think we woulda won this matchup with our skill position backups on O.
And this is the youngest team in the league...

The Saints may have marched in ...... but then they nearly crawled out. Imagine the plane ride back to New Orleans lacked fun.

I tuned out after the first half. I was surprised that he score was only 34-0.

And the only people who give a damn will be Packer fans.
Imagine that, packers fan sharing packers statistics with other packers fan on a packers forum. The outrage.
Raptor may be getting nervous. Show mercy. And class.
Never. It's only a game. One that I have zero control over. I expect my team to lose. It's easier that way. With zero expectations, anything positive is a benefit. It's the same way I deal with most people. Expect nothing and you won't be disappointed when you get it. The last time I made bet on my team to win? The Super Bowl with the Raiders.

if I had my way we would run up the score against everyone, instead of closing out the game running, I want to see 9 routes, trailing crosser routes, work those middle zones, help Love get a groove on, start the game running, close it out running up the score passing
the Saints became easy pickens from the start, poorly coached, and to many injuries, but this was a great confidence builder, I doubt any team in the league wants to face us now.

Remember Vince buying the wives mink something? There's some cool jewelry from the 1960s on display in the Packers Hall of Fame.

I wanna see what Stokes does against the Vikings before I even contemplate changing my tune with him. Yeah, he’s been decent of late but it doesn’t really seem he’s been challenged, either.

Yeah, I need to see an actual PD or INT, or his tight coverage forcing an incompletion.
Rattler was so overmatched and pressured, it was story difficulty for our DBs...

5th seed could host. It would not be all that improbable. GB and MN win their round 1 games. Go into Philly and Detroit and win. 5th seed hosts.
At this point I’d just as soon have the Packers take to the road for their playoff journey. This year, anyway.
Love and the offense execute better in an indoor environment. Those plays I keep hearing people reference from last night as “misses” are likely hits playing in the comfort of a dome.
The Packers really haven’t shown Lambeau to be of great advantage (of late) against good teams. If anything, the Packers appear to be the team most impacted when the weather turns ugly with poor execution. I’d just as soon they compete in an environment where they’re at their best.
Gimme matchups against Minny and Detroit in their house. I like our chances.
I'd say this team above any other in 30 years is built for January in Lambeau.
I don't disagree. I just feel like they play better in a climate controlled environment.
The problem, I suppose, is so do the other guys.
I suppose when you look at this Packers team, you can make the argument they’re one of the few teams equipped to play in either environment and do it well. The talking heads in this segment allude to this fact:

I agree this team can play in both environments. This is NOT a finesse team simply better suited for indoors like some of AR's teams were, this team can take to the enemy in the elements.
Crowd noise is the main thing why I'd love to play at home as much as possible. The O uses so many pre-snap motions and things, and is in constant communication pre-snap, that I'd love for them to be doing it without being hampered by crowd noise.
I guess the Vikings game at their house will be a great test of it.

This team can beat anyone in the league. The question in my mind is if they can be disciplined enough in critical moments. We will need to play situational football consistently well to get to where we want to go. This Vikings game will be a great test for us. I am predicting a win with confidence this week, btw.

I think PFF had the Cox/ Anderson grades reversed from Andy's grades? either way 2 basically back up players take the top spots

They did. Two sets of grades by two different entities. They’re both pretty consistent though.

See if he gets challenged more often when Jaire is back on the field. That might be a better indicator than the past two weeks.

When Jaire is the field, Stokes will be on the sidelines.

I figure Jaire for about 10 reps.
