Is this team built for bad weather?

Is anyone concerned that these Packers are not really built for bad weather? The team built under Holmgren and Wolfe were made to handle bad weather conditions. They thrived in December and January games at Lambeau and Chicago. The Packers teams of recent history haven't faired as well in cold conditions. This team thrives on airing it out and frequently throwing downfield with success, I'm concerned that phase of their game may suffer when the snowflakes and the temperature starts falling.

Nope, not concerned at all. Some of Rodger's best performances have come when it's frigid outside.

I think it is highly overrated and a myth that you need a bruising back and can't throw the ball in the cold. The Pack will be just fine.

Extreme cold weather makes a difference in any team. The ball feels like a rock. It's hard to catch it. It's hard to kick it. The ground feels like concrete, but it's not much different than in a dome. If the conditions are sloppy, that adds a whole new dimension.

But I'd offer a couple observations. Both teams have to play under the same conditions. If it's sloppy, both teams have to contend with it. So it's a struggle for everyone. The Packers are built about as good for poor conditions as any other team. It's not like horse racing, where you have "mudders." Running teams don't necessarily have an advantage in cold weather. Look at the Monday night game against the Ravens at Lambeau a couple years ago. It was about 10 degrees out and the Ravens had the running team. The Packers beat them without a whole lot of trouble. Running teams are over rated in this new era with new rules.

This team is built to win. Worrying about weather is for pussies.

That's a question I would love to ask a dome team.

Words of a clergy. LOL!!!!

The Packers are a speed team. Best in dome -- good weather

With ARoge's Big hands and strong arm, cold, wet, snowy weather will not be a factor. Unless the viz drops really bad. This team is made to play anywhere, anytime, any weather, any team. Bring it on. We are the CHAMPIONS.

Rodgers had 404 with 4 TD's vs the Giants(25 degrees), 229 1 TD and 1 INT vs Bears(19 degrees), 180 yards 3 TD's vs Eagles(30 degrees), 224 0 TD's 2 INT's vs Bears(20 degrees) None of those temps include windchill
So thats 1037 yards 8 TD's and 3 INT's for Rodgers in cold weather games thats not to shabby if you ask me

My brother in law is a monk,he takes a nip now and then,maybe it was him.He stays at St.Lorance teaches up there.

I think the pack can play anywhere they may not like playing in the cold,but they do you get used to it and prepare.

I drink like Friar Tuck, unless I am hosting a tailgate, then, I have found I don't get to drink very much.

I think the bigger question is are the Lions any good outdoors after watching the Bears annihilate them yesterday. And that was just from being windy. What happens when you add cold to that windy?

The Packers could probably throw up 31 casual points in a game where the field was muddy, it was raining and hard to run on.

I firmly believe the weather effects the game. No myths there. The NFL has 90 years of history proving it does.
The Pack is built for good weather or play in a dome.

Posted this days ago in another thread. It was from a Pats fan on another forum in regards to this argument:

I've read it, Jules. It's one persons theory. It sounds good. But it doesn't hold up to history.

The 49ers are not beating GB in the playoffs unless the Packers suffer major injuries before the game.

God FORBID! That really would SUCK!

The Packers indoor practice facility has climate control so they do what they can to make it feel real cold before playing in Lambeau.
The last big cold weather game at Lambeau was the one against the Giants. They were fine up until BrINT threw the game losing pass to the Giants. It had nothing to do with the weather. It was because of a bad QB. Now that we don't have that anymore, the Packers would still be good in cold weather.
Just like Longtime pointed out. How the Pack did against the Bears last season.

Was about to post this. I think we'll be just fine. Can't say the same for the dome teams that may have to play us.

But anyone who says the cold weather doesn't affect the game at all, it's just not true. The ball is harder to handle and when you take a hit, it hurts a lot more. Plus in cold weather it's harder to stay loose and because of that it's a lot easier to get injured.

I'm confident we can play in any conditions and still excel.

Cold Weather is certainly an advantage though and no teams want to play in those conditions. Look at the Vikings when they played at the Met. Nobody wanted to play the Vikings at the Met late in the year and it was an unbelievable advantage for them
