For what it's worth... Even with all the injuries, the spread has stayed around -2.5 for the Packers since it opened despite Texans playing on the road. Texans like to run the ball when healthy, so I think the most logical outcome is they run it down their throats and keep the defense fresh. Mixon/Pierce duo might be one of the best in the league and adding in the playmakers we have healthy sans Nico... This game will say a lot about the future of the organization when the O is healthy. I think we blow them out tbh - just a gut reaction. Statement game.
Just a season to season comparison to other teams. I don't have exact numbers. A look into this might prove interesting.
Nah, the Packers are the way bigger draw. Kings of The North. Don't go by early season standings from the best division in football. The Packers fan base is the biggest around the world. Detroit and Minnesota are nobodies. They both admit, along with Chicago, that their Super Bowl ever year is when they play the Pack. Packers and Texans at Lambeau is huge. Then you add in Stroud vs. Love. It's a wrap.
So I actually went through the NFL rulebook, which is a mind-numbing exercise, and this is all they say about gloves [Rule 5, Section 4, Article 6, Item 2]: Approved Glove Color. Gloves, wrappings, elbow pads, and other items worn on the arms below or over the jersey sleeves must be white, black or the official uniform color of the applicable team. Clubs are not required to designate to the League office the color of gloves that will be worn by their players. No reason for the team to not be rocking white gloves on Sunday. I'm actually very surprised the NFL doesn't mandate contrasting colored gloves.
Verbal has stalker tendencies. Back off little one. Sometimes you mess with the wrong Mother Trucker. Hiding behind a screen not as sa** as you think. Public Service Announcement
I can understand kings of the north. But stop with the delusion, the Packers are nowhere near the biggest fan base around the world. Not even the biggest fan base in the NFC
Depends what you are going by. I am not looking at clicks. I am saying NFL teams around the world. I realize Soccer/Football dominates overseas. And I am saying the strongest NFL fan base globally. Dallas is close as well. But Dallas has fallen off over the last 25 years. If we are talking about merchandise, popularity and travel, Green Bay is above Dallas. Dallas up there in the States and Mexico. But not as much overseas.
I'll be there Sunday. Weather looks awesome (mid-70's). Will actually be my 4th time to Lambeau (company I work for is based in WI) but first time to see the Texans there. Cheese curds, brats, Spotted Cow and the Texans whooping the Packers. Should be a great day!
Gonna be a tall task winning with all these injuries. Hopefully Mixon has a big game and Demeco schemes a good defensive plan. Protect the ball.
I would go with New Glarus Oktoberfest over Spotted Cow. Cow an ok lighter ale, but 5.10 ABV. Not that high alcohol content is only measure of a good beer. I do Oktoberfest from 8(lots open at 8) to 9.Then I switch to Long Islands for noon games. Not big on cheese curds. We are doing prime rib kabobs and chicken Sunday. But Brats are good. I think I told someone else here also...make sure you wear the white scarf you will receive as you enter Lambeau. Texans involved in Winter Warning also. It won't make you too warm to throw on. #GoPackGo!
