You're saying Aaron wanted it colder, and then concluding he doesn't feel the cold is an advantage. I think you're purposely being obtuse....

The best evidence is our home record in December with Rodgers. Which is fantastic. We've won our last 3 home playoff games as well. Nope. You cant prove it and I'm not asking anyone to do so. Just wondering when the last truly cold weather game where the cold really played to our advantage i.e. was an actual factor. I've mentioned the only two games I can think of. NYG's - we won. CAR - we won. Was the cold a factor in those Ws? Cant say. A third.....I think it was pretty cold when SF (and Kaepernick) came to town. That didnt go so well. Close game though - but again - I cant truly cite the weather as being an advantage one way or the other. Add on edit: The NYGs handed us our lunch - twice - in TRULY COLD playoff games. The last big game Favre failed us in and one with AR - but it was the players/play on the field that did us in......although I think the cold got to Favre in that NFCCG. I'd certainly rather play any game at home. No doubt. I'm just not all that certain when the games get down to it and its nothing but the big boys fighting it out.....that the cold plays that big a factor - or is something we can rely on turning the tide to our favor.

You claim that Aaron was saying he preferred it to be better (colder) and then conclude he doesn't like it. You've decided it was a contradiction in order to establish a way of getting me to argue with you, and went about it by deliberately being obtuse... "Aaron Rodgers was complaining after the Carolina game that mother nature was going to have to do better (colder) than 33 degrees....It didn't feel to him like it was much (if any) of an advantage"... First part clearly states Rodger said he wanted it to be colder than 33 degrees (by mother nature having to do better)....The second part stating it (the 33 degrees) didn't feel like much (or if any) of an advantage....This clearly means he would prefer it colder....

Arthur Penske Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 4 hours ago, Leader said: What with all the talk about the "advantage Packers" because of cold weather - when was the last game where it clearly played a part in the outcome? Last I can think of is the NYG/GB playoff game of a few years back....what? Three years ago? When I seem to remember the NYG WRs dropping a few passes - which was attributed to the cold. The Carolina game...last year?.....was bad weather/cold - but I seem to recall it being snow and field conditions that played a factor (moreso than the cold) in how the game on the field unfolded. We've had a few "bad weather" days this year - more blustry wind than outright cold - and we didnt play all that well ourselves. Seattle playoff game last season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAM Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Thanks , good points folks. It is just conventional wisdom that bad weather favors teams that have good defenses and a good power run game, like the old Pac in the 60's. The packers run defense is better than last year but still somewhat suspect, This Friday's game with Tennessee should tell us a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as there is no way for them to get into the playoffs...I think there are teams like the Cardinals who would have to lose out, for them to have any chance....
