I got to attend two games this year, vs the Bengals and the Lions. They say the Bengals game was the hottest home game on record. It was plenty hot.

I've never been to a really cold home game, but I felt cold at the Lions game. We were up high, on what used to be the roof and exposed to that little breeze. That coupled with not much to cheer for after the first quarter had me wishing I had dressed warmer.

I would go again this year if I fell into another chance. I've been to December games before. Yeah that December 23 matchup COULD be something IF Rodgers came back by then. Maybe if they beat the Ravens, Bucs and Browns!

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

This is true.
It certainly was a pleasure to meet you that day.
While we were talking in the stadium that day, the weather was fairly pleasant as I recall.
And then the weather went all downhill from there.😁

It was really something. I took pictures at the start of the game, and when the snow was the hardest, and you'd never believe it was the same game!

Hilarious!

Anyone who ever actually thought we were this fantastic organization has to realize that 12 is the only reason we're relevant.

This is just more proof of that. I'm really puzzled the SNF Steelers game didn't get flexed to daytime. Would love some background on that.

Going to a Packers game with no 12 is like time travel back to the 70's and 80's. It's still Lambeau so there's still an experience to be had.

I can't imagine anyone having a strong desire to go now even with this depressed market. Weather is rotten and team isn't very good without 12.

Lower your expectations. Take what little joy for the season that you can get. It's sure better than being angry every week over the injury that killed the season.

I'm not angry. Haven't been for a single second pertaining to the injury.

Yes...still upset with management and will be until they're gone. Murphy may ruin my experience until I'm dead. He may ultimately end my following of the NFL. I just got back into the NHL and am a Leafs fan...I don't despise the management there and it's a lot more enjoyable for me watching Matthews and the young kids growing into a cup challenger. The more I really think about it the harder it is to justify following a management I dislike and have no faith in with who is running it.

You're right...those who are okay with all that should go see the team at a reduced rate. I paid to go see Aaron Jones and Michael Clark earlier this year. Great night for football. Gotta say I hated what's happened to Green Bay. Corporatization took place and even the community is a disgrace trying to charge people 40 bucks to park for a preseason game? Spirit of the place has really changed since the mid 90s. A bunch of pathetic vultures everywhere trying to make a buck off the team's notiriety. I was really bummed when I left that night thinking how different it is now vs. then.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Zero2Cool (18h) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (18h) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (18h) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.

dfosterf (20h) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Shouldn't be penalized cuz official screwed up
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
