Yes, great game packers , grats on a great looking outing and a hard fought win. Thats a beast of an offense you guys have going up there, and I don't feel the game was as close as the final score implied or how close we came to tying the score. I don't the the outcome was ever really in question until the surprising last 2 minutes or so.
I have one question for you guys though because of a discussion I had with a friend today! When January rolls around and the weather turns bitter in Green Bay, do you think it will actually be a disadvantage to be playing in the elements now because of the precision offense you guys excel at now?
First I'd like to say I hope your fans don't get too down on your defense. The Packers have a great defense but you guys carved it up pretty good too. You have to figure when you have high powered offenses going against stingy defenses something has got to give. It seems both of our teams have some pretty potent offenses. You'll see against the Bears that there are not so many question marks about your D than you think. You will find that the Bears are tuned to the kind of attack you intend to present to them. They play us twice a year and know about stunting good offenses.
Thanks for the compliments, I agree the game wasn't as close as the score. Our team has a dismaying trait of pulling up when they are ahead. Time will tell this year if it will continue.
As for foul weather... Our team is built to play on tough turf, it's just natural to understand they'll be that much better on perfect conditions. It's pretty obvious they're better on a perfect surface, but they ARE built to perform on a rough wintry field.
If there's an advantage it's that our team routinely practices in it. I don't think it gives specific players advantages. If your argument was that the Packers would really do better against the Saints in December I'd argue with you. I would think that the atmosphere of a Packers home game would make the difference. Either way, it doesn't matter if the team is whole, the Pack walked through the best of the NFC last year. I believe that we'd have one hell of a tougher road had we had to face Nawlins.
Go pound the Bears and the Falcons, they both need to understand who the powerhouses in the NFC are.
