I can't decide who GB should face. There are pros and cons for both. Probably NOLA.

Probably NO, as Tampa kicked us around during the regular season.
But you can bet the NFL wants Tampa to win. The SB in their home stadium, Tom Brady and all.
Guess we will see.

I haven't really put much effort into comparing these two teams, but I think New Orleans is the more favorable matchup, if for no other reason than the QBs each team has. They're both ancient but one plays in a dome and has an unremarkable record in big games, and the other is perhaps the best all-time in big games and has a history of winning in cold-weather.

But I assume you mean who to prefer... in theory Buccaneers have the weaker pass defense and run offense should help the Packers...

But when we faced the Bucs earlier this season we couldn't stop the run and their play action killed us, plus they got even more offensive weapons now... while on defense, their DL physical matched up with our OL, and Jones couldn't out move their two great speed LBers, plus their heavy blitzing getting home meant Rodgers needed the WRs to get open quick, and important to note, the Buccaneers game was both Adams first game back from injury, and we were missing Lazard due to injury.

So in theory Buccaneers might shut down Jones and Tonyan, but IF they can give Rodgers enough time, the WRs MIGHT run wild, and I've also thought Dillon who's faster than Jones (not nearly as quick, but straight line speed faster), might be able to run over one of the speed RBs and keep going... but still, Brady has all those freaking weapons, do we really want to get into a shootout that we won't be able to run the ball as well in? That's risky.


On the other hand, we could fast the Saints, which both teams best WRs missed early this year, and I think the Saints might of missed a starting DB and DE as well. Saints quick passing attack will give our pass rush troubles, plus our defense biggest struggle has been stopping the run and covering receiving RBs, few better at that than RB Kanata. But Packers matchup fairly well, TE Cook and RB Karma coverage over the middle could cause lots of headaches, but Packers running especially Aaron Jones and Tonyan could be more effective I'm this one, and having the big three WRs all healthy as well.

So I'm thinking the Packers better matchup would be the Saints... plus Brady is used to playing in bad weather... the Saints aren't. And make sure you have an extra guy watching Kamara.

There are other grammatical errors but contrary to the opinion of some on this board, I am not a complete A-hole.

28° ESE 8 mph
Cloudy skies with a few snow showers later in the day. High 28F. Winds ESE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 40%.


Next Sunday weather doesn't look much different than today. Let's see how much it changes in the next few days.

Any updates on our injured guys...

Crosby, Lancaster, Dillon, Barnes (where there any others?)

Looks like Barnes and Lancaster might of come back in and played because their snap counts are pretty high.

Speaking of which Clark and Lowry playing over 85% of the snaps is impressive.
