GBs Worst Game of The Season In Cold Weather

Even used it as en excuse after geting routed by the chicago bears 35-7

Passing CP/AT YDS TD INT
B. Favre 17/32 153 0 2

Game did matter, since Dal lost to Philly GB still had a shot at home field advantage

Interesting to see the spread increasing with the weather that is expected and GBs recent coldweather performance. Not to mention the total had droped as much as 4 points at some books well the spread crossed 7.

OK, call me stupid, but what's the point you are trying to make?

I'm guessing you like NYG and the over...?

I don't know about the over, but for sure he likes the G-men.

Being on the road probably didn't help much either. Should be interesting to see how it plays out being so cold.

i hate hearing about his cold weather stuff. both teams live in cold weather areas. if it was a southern US team like the Saints last year in Chicago, id buy this argument.

Why do ppl think NY (cold) is gonna be affected but no one wants to talk about SD (warm) being affected. People are so stupid sometimes.

No

And no point, just an observation

But im guessing there are people here who have never even experienced temperatures below 20, much less 0-5. Then add in the windchill, -10.

Ive played football in those conditions. Your hands are either numb or stinging, your joints move slow and in terms of geting a feel for the ball in your hands theres no chance.

people talking about how both teams need to play in it so it does not matter, couldnt be more wrong. it does.

Cold weather means nothing imo....wind means everything and it looks like it will be windy tomorrow night.

The wind is the determining factor. Green Bay plays like caca against the Bears in Chicago on a very windy day. They play like NFC Champs against Seattle on a very cold, but relatively calm day. Give me cold over wind any day.

It was 31 degrees when they played the seahawks..... very cold? Where exactly on the west coast do you live?

Its going to feel like -10 and actualy be 0 tomorrow. That, is very cold. The feel of 31 does not even come close.

The ball feels heavy gets slick as hell and you cant feel it except for the sting it causes when it hits your hand.
