That cold sure would be vs a good deal of warm weather teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a ridiculous take. I guess but with Brees out they also just lost to a sub 500 team with their back up QB. With Brees out they have only beat denver with a WR at QB and the Falcons with a interim coach during that 1/3 Edited December 14, 2020 by Arthur Penske 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a worn out rationale for a cold city team wanting to get home field advantage...Remember the days when the Packers were unbeatable at Lambeau?

Not really, look at Rodgers record/performance in Dec at Lambeau. It doesn't mean you're going to win but it sure is an advantage unless you have an old Favre who wants no part of the cold like the visiting team.

I think it's more counter effective against teams who rely on the twelfth man such as NO and Seattle...But since that is not applicable this season, it's just not that big of an issue....

beekay414 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Rodgers is 4-2 at home in the playoffs and has won 3 straight since the 49ers wildcard game. His numbers in those 3 games? 65-102 (63.7%), 921 yards, 9 TD, 0 INT, 122.2 QB Rating 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 If you don't think it's an advantage to get the LA Rams or either of the 40+ year old QBs into cold weather, I don't know what to tell ya. The lack of a crowd doesn't matter. Rodgers plays on another level in the cold and it would be a massive advantage for the Packers. Nothing guarantees a win but being in Lambeau in January definitely matters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, like I posted above....Many teams feel the need to get home field advantage as much for keeping from having to go somewhere else...Places like Seattle and New Orleans in their dome stadiums, generally are not conducive to visiting teams....But since fan participation is a non-issue, this is not the big deal it was in previous years...

Sure it is. You think Jared Goff, Tom Brady and Drew Brees want to come up to Green Bay and play in that weather over playing in Florida, a dome and LA? The elements matter more than the crowd.

You're comparing apples to oranges. You're comparing crowds as home field advantage - other are referencing the elements. Since crowds have been removed - across the board - GB *does* enjoy a home field advantage given the elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how many of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers players played in New England? It's a different type of cold in Lambeau than it is in Foxborough. Brady's also another year older and looked like trash in the cold last year. But, sure, HFA doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
