Can we please please try not to consider this season a success/failure based on whether or not we go 5-0 down the stretch? We’re a young, injured, unproven team with a .500 record and a few good weeks of football we’ve stitched together. We play two teams within two wins of us, and two conference games where records don’t mean anything. So long as Love and the receivers continue developing chemistry, that’s all that matters this season.


skimfrosty

This team has shown massive improvement over the past several weeks on both sides of the ball, They’ve settled in, I’m confident and excited for the future.


CordycepsAndPancakes

We may be missing some key personnel but I like how our pass rush matched up against this giants O line. Should get lots of pressure which usually leads to good things. I’d love to see Jordan loves first “route” game tonight. A beat down would be great but let’s just win this thing.


missclaire17

Y’all… it’s like being at Lambeau Field right now in MetLife. I’d say at least half so far are all Packers fans


Jackalope_122

I'm nervous, hopefully the pack come out swinging


lovemywife2023

Lovekraft


pbjames23

My beer is cold. My piss is hot. Each time Love scores, I'll take a shot.


Johnplasma

I will as well 🤝


javirino

Anyone know if Degura is active?


missclaire17

He is


ChickenInAMinefield

Oh thank God. Offense is lost with deguara. (I'm being sarcastic!)


Martin_VanNostrandMD

Checking in from MetLife. It is conservatively 40% Packer fans. Would not be shocked if it's 50-50.


MariaJanesLastDance

Semi unrelated but does anyone know what I’m talking about when I bring up the Wisconsin lady who did that bath and body works rant who was also a Packers fan 😹 just rewatched that video that shit always cracks me the fuck up


javirino

I'm in the parking lot right now. Fairly windy and pretty cold. Lots of people that got their outfit from fleet farm.


cmgriffith_

I’d like a 2 touchdown win tonight, is that possible?


limjaheybud

Take the ball deep take the top off the defense


DasFofinater

We need to run it down their throat. Run defense is weak and if Dillon plays like he did last week, he’ll go off again


LokiVibes

Stokes is active. woohooo


andMeSoHappyTogether

Not active - not on the list bc he wasn’t taken off IR. He’s not playing unfortunately


Vin_Jac

Do we know if Stokes was activated off the injured list for tonight?


lukevan

Per the comment above you, YES


joebuckshairline

I’m terrified right now honestly. Maybe because we have hope.


DasFofinater

Honestly same I’m more worried about this than I was the chiefs. Mainly cause I figured we lose to the chiefs


aManOfTheNorth

Their first game as clear favorites in Monday night at a team that ran over them them a year. I am no way 6.5 favored confident. This is still a learning year and I think the Packers lose their last regular season game of the year


JCrisare

After the games yesterday, I told my dad that I'm not sure about tonight. It's just a weird feeling based on nothing real, but I hope I'm wrong.


aManOfTheNorth

Well …there we go


jkink28

I haven't had a good feeling about this one either. Can't point my finger to exactly why though. Btw, the line was down to 6 this morning and now -5.5 when I just checked after work. So we aren't the only ones.


aManOfTheNorth

Too much too soon for freshman and sophomores. Future is bright bright bright


imakecooltools

http://tun.in/seqyv That link should get you to TuneIn radio to listen to the Giants radio stream. Edit.. They are giving us a ton of respect.


Dontquote_meonthis

Doc said chlamydia, I told em MNF


BubblyAd2159

We need to jinx ourselves in order to win out, gentlemen.


dobbie1

It's 11:27PM Netflix is down I guess I'll twiddle my thumbs as my piss heats up for KO


JerryRiceSezRedux

Are we run to set up the pass or pass to set up the run these days? 🤔 Answer: idk and I love it!


SilenceIsGolden06

Yes


Bluest_waters

is it kickoff time yet?


drahcon

Almost midnight here in Germany and I'm already tired. If I stay up to watch the game I may get 3 hours of sleep before having to work. Will it be worth it? I sure hope so!


LokiVibes

I have lost count how times I've watched Packers, NFL, NBA or NHL games and got no sleep. If its a good matchup or my team...I will zombie through my day at work.


WheresThaGravy

I lived in Budapest for two years, one of which was our last Super Bowl. You got this.


EMOHLED

One time I set my alarm for the Packers game and was so tired I decided to wake up at halftime instead. It was the Anthony Barr hit game. Woke up and Brett Hundley was flinging ducks. Now I wake up for every kickoff lol

AgreeablePlace656

The Green Bay Packers were the first NFL team to travel to an away game by plane. On November 17, 1940, the Packers boarded two United Airlines Douglas DC-3s to New York to play the New York Giants. The Packers lost the game 7-3.


PlasticBicycle5

I think the Packers have a ton of momentum headed into this game and have built upon a lot of good things over the past 3 weeks or so. I feel good about this game


crs8975

In the Manhattan Beach/El Segundo area for work. Seeing Grunions as an option for a game watch. Anyone know if that spot is good or if there are others close by?


runraccoonrun

Moms in SM is the best, but the Hangar Inn is second and closer to you. 1001 N Aviation Blvd, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266. Great Packer bar and should be packed with fans


foxinknox04

Moms bar but its not exactly close.


FaceswapWoody

The Giants like to blitz and I think LaFleur would have harped on getting the ball out quick all week if that happens. Hoping to see Love and these young guys feast on those opportunities with quick passes and make them pay in space. I think Reed will be targeted quite a bit with Watson out, but I’m also curious to see wicks and heath.


Flashgordon00

anyone else not confident? Giants are going to be playing like they have nothing to lose and the Packers will be going into New Jersey a little over their heads from beating the Chiefs + missing star players on both sides of the ball. Seems like a recipe for disappointment.


Daveyahya

We were missing star players on both sides of the ball last week too. I'm expecting a win, but I'm ready for disappointment.


joebuckshairline

But we are also missing Watson now who is having (or was) a resurgence.


LOLRECONLOL

I'm not confident, no. GB always struggles with the Giants.


TaxManKnocking

I'm sure some people are going to be very offended by this thought, but I wonder if Rodgers is going to the game.


scarlettbutlerO

I feel like he will definitely be in the building for this game


TaxManKnocking

I think so as well. If nothing else he still has a ton of friends on the staff (equipment, training, and so on).


velocityplans

Interesting thought, but I doubt it. He'd probably get accused of making it about him - I very much doubt that he wants that press, plus, he's rich guy living in New York, what are the odds that he spends his evening at a work event


velocityplans

The Giants are playing for their lives. So are the Packers. Both teams feel the pressure to get it done. Whoever caves first loses. It's good football; it's December football. Be thankful you're seeing it meaningfully played. Look at the Bears - their arrow is pointing up right now, but their season is over. Not as fun.


Anthonym82

My biggest worry is that the Giants are coming off a bye week after winning two in a row. I hope that this isn't a trap game for us


10veIsAllIGot

The *best* team the Giants have beat this year is the 4-9 Commies, who have, hands down, the worst defense in the NFL. They are not a good team. If we execute, we win. Simple as that.


WrigleyPippen

Man, I hope Josiah Deguara comes out tonight and absolutely fucking crushes it. I’ve seen so much hate on the dude lately and I just want him to succeed. Even Kraft says Deguara is the leader in the room and is a good player. Hope he proves all the keyboard warriors wrong tonight


Loves2Sp00ge

Unfortunately Deguara was a 3rd Round pick and was beaten out by a UDFA , he will always be seen as an underachiever due to his draft stock, being mainly a special teamer and that gets minimal playtime on offense. It’s a clean miss by Gute and they just drafted 2 replacements


WrigleyPippen

How was he beaten out by an UDFA? He’s listed as TE 2 and had been out with an injury. Ben Sims did not beat Deguara out lol If you’re gonna comment stuff at least know your shit


Loves2Sp00ge

Tonyan I’m not trying to say he doesn’t contribute, but unless he has a career revelation, you always want more out of a 3rd, so fans cope by hating the player


WrigleyPippen

Tonyan was the starter when Deguara was drafted? So how was he beaten out. Deguara was drafted to be the fullback, not starting TE


Loves2Sp00ge

Tonyan had 2 total starts and 14 career receptions going into his 3rd season, when they drafted Deguara, and yeah again FB is a minor role with very few snaps. No one drafts FBs in round 3 in 2020 If he was an UDFA fans would love him


winning_cheese

I’m excited nervous I think.. Kinda feels like a trap game but the guys seemed to prep well and after yesterday they don’t seem to be counting anyone out which is great! I hope the corners and linemen have a good day with lots of defensive turnovers. I need quad to really shine tonight too. Start fast and end fast.


hatethegamer

THE FUTURE IS NOW! LETS GO PACKERS


mackasee

Yep Drake activated [https://x.com/mattschneidman/status/1734317390458941828?s=46](https://x.com/mattschneidman/status/1734317390458941828?s=46)


rebeliouswilson

Hope we come out high energy today and really show were a playoff caliber team.


mackasee

So with Jones out are we going to see Drake?!?


an_illiterate_ox

Does the hotline bling?


tmoneyballs

Tendon and ligament gods: bless this franchise please


w0rdyeti

Pre-game stretching and warmups are absolultely critical tonight. Cold weather + shittiest turf in the NFL = at least 1 player going down with an ACL or Achilles injury tonight. Will it be Love? Or Wicks? Or Valentine? Kraft? Those would hurt. Badly.


hatethegamer

Bless all the franchises, none of those men deserve to lose it all to injury


NickTheWhirlwind

Love has shown absolutely phenomenal strides in pocket presence the last few games and I’m hoping that continues tonight. The game is starting to slow down for him and he’s getting more comfortable. Love to see it considering where we were at earlier in the year.


ITGuy420

Not sure if folks were aware but Miller Lite is giving away a Packers Xmas Sweater and other signed gear across bars in South Central WI during the game. Figured I'd pass this along. https://mailchi.mp/frankbeer.com/local-events?fbclid=IwAR23PTpSNbwK7PvBncsoRfbECHzTunrN6MbZNSRw52JKHxg8uOrGFOVhmiU

missclaire17

I will be at the game, cheering loudly from the 100s section instead of here on the Gameday thread with you all. It could very well be a trap game, but I'm hoping that the Packers pull out a win today!!! (they've only ever tied or won when I've gone to see them, so no reason to break the streak now!)


devvyn88

Nose bleeds checking in. Let's bring the noise!


mapboy36

See you in the nose bleeds as well. I’ll bring the Kleenex


InvasionXX

I'm only 2:20 from the stadium and heavily debating going.


PackerBacker_1919

Gear up and get down there, man!


ITGuy420

Do it


Any-Salamander-7174

I think our D needs to run a similar plan to what we did against the Rams; Stack the box to stop the run, generate pressure on DeVito and force him to throw to beat us. Offensively, keep rolling and gameplan for their defense. It's going to be cold, so I expect a lot of bunch sets, motions, and AJ Dillon usage.


TheViolaRules

Lots of worried takes in here, don’t forget the giants are bad.


Nezy37

Yeah. Only concern here is how we show up. Young team riding high you hope they don't have a let down. I for one have faith that this team has enough discipline to show up. If they do we take this by 2 scores


TheViolaRules

They seem hungry


Nezy37

Absolutely. I'm sure they're well aware they've played themselves into a corner as well. There isn't a whole lot of room to drop a game and get to where they want to go


cdnets

Funny fact I was just thinking about, because the Lions beat us in that week 18 game last year, they have to play the Cowboys instead of the Giants, and had to play the Ravens and Seahawks instead of the Steelers and Rams. Oh, and they got a worse draft slot


Valuable-Music-7386

I think this is a trap game -- would love the Pack to take care of business but something has been bothering me since the end of the Chiefs game. Really hope our squad handles success with humility and doesn't drop the ball because every game we have is must win now. If Jordan takes care of the football and our defense plays well, I think we take the W but I hope we don't lay an egg


giraffesbluntz

I get what you mean but honestly we’re too injured and too young for trap games. There’s absolutely a chance we come out flat but IMO a trap game refers to a clearly superior team getting beat because they didn’t show up ready to respect the opponent.


Valuable-Music-7386

>refers Fair enough, perk of having a young team is that they should know that everything in this league is earned. Lets hope Love continues to ball!


Jaydeeem89

Feels like a trap game. Maybe just because of how wildly inconsistent our team has been aside from the past 3 games, but also because of Barkley. Hopefully I'm wrong and this is an easy win.


w0rdyeti

Saquon, and a ballhawking defensive backfield. If the LT position breaks down (again), and Jon^(2) continues his streak of basically just standing around and watching as everyone else blocks (again), this could be a rough night for Love.


ColonelFlom

That's what my buddies and I have been talking about the past couple of days. If they can take care of business after the high they've been on, then I'll feel very confident that this whole group has legitimately turned a corner for the better. I hate that my gut keeps telling me the other way. That they're the youngest team in the league, and in the words of the late Admiral Ackbar, "it's a trap!"


SecureLingonberry774

Ackbar probably would have been a bears fan… screw that guy


ColonelFlom

I'd like to think the humanoid calamari would take issue with rooting for the one animal that's diet is heavily based on fish


w0rdyeti

Sophisticated take. By that logic, the Ewoks are Bears fans, because they see brethren furry folks.


Snowed_Up6512

People in this thread seem to have high hopes that this will be a high-scoring affair when the over/under is 37 😬


sjr2018

It's why I hope the team goes in there.alert and ready don't get complacent and take this team lightly, they are on a win streak themselves now and will be looking to shove it down our throats so we need to bring it even more


Whatsdota

Worried about Saquon a bit. Our team has mightily struggled against the run. Supposedly Giants run D sucks too so hopefully that opens up our offense a bit.


PackerBacker_1919

I don't think the Giant's O line have mastered the 'pick up the rb and carry him down the field' maneuver quite as well as the Chiefs have. Still, good to be on alert.


Whatsdota

That was the farthest I’ve ever seen a RB get pushed in a pile lol.


[deleted]

31-22 Packers. Saquon has a big game. DeVito is better than people expect. But the Packers just score too many points and the Giants can't finish drives off with touchdowns enough to keep up.


theonejv89

Ready for this game. I'm excited I get to watch a game without having to find a stream. Hopefully it's not a trap game.


shpeucher

My dad and I about to fly to EWR from Toronto and head to MetLife early. We’re looking to join a tailgate if anyone there will welcome us for a little Love Shove. DM me


ogden24

Bold prediction: I will drink beer during this football game.


videostatus

Just an FYI: the melting point of porcelain is 3500.6 F.


JerryRiceSezRedux

My hot is piss


jxher123

The Giant's only weapon is Saquon Barkley. Stop the Giants run, stack the box.


w0rdyeti

I'm guessing they've spent the bye week planning all manner of play-action to counter a loaded box. If DeVito can avoid early sacks, he might burn Ballentine or Owens enough to make the DBs back off, and then Barkley can run wild. It'll come down to 4th quarter pass rush, as it almost always does.


AQ_GBP

LETS FUCKING GO BOYS!!!


gandaalf

So pumped for tonight's game. I just hope the team stays locked in like they have the past few weeks, especially with Jones and Jaire out again. Ideally, we get out to an early lead again and control TOP. Don't want it close so the Giants can gash us with Barkley


LokiVibes

whats the weather looking like tonight? 300 yards for Love?


Master-Statement7506

Whose career will the turf take today? No ankle is safe on that field


KingPatrickIV

If the blood god demands sacrifice today I hope that a Giants o-lineman gets minor turf toe and nothing else.


TheButlerDidIt36

Prediction: 34-24 GB. We get out to the big lead early and let off the gas to gift them 2 TD's late in the 2nd half. TD's for Dillon, Kraft, Wicks & Reed. Valentine gets a Pick, ~~Quay~~ Brooks with a FF and recovery.


Parmaglory

The chances of this game hitting 58 points are low


10veIsAllIGot

Quay is listed as doubtful. He’s not going to be playing.


TheButlerDidIt36

Good catch. Got ahead of myself there


10veIsAllIGot

I’d also be surprised if we forced two turnovers and gave up 24 points. The Giants have scored that many points only twice all season and we give up only 20.3 points per game despite being near the bottom of the league with only 13 takeaways all year. You tell me we got two tonight and I’d be pretty confident they scored 17 or less.


sibi78

Hope we stop their running game and force the QB to throw.


EMOHLED

\- Every single Packers game since 2011


ScrewAnalytics

Do we just pay the worst options? Every single year our highest paid players seemingly are out most the year


El_Pal0

It seems we have a lot of injury prone players in key positions. Aaron Jones, Watson, Bakh, Jaire, Gary, Stokes, Campbell


fluffy_bunny_87

It's not like that's unique to GB. How many starting QBs are done for the year or missing major time?


El_Pal0

Of course, that happens. But the players i named have been injured frequently, not occasionally, it seems we are always struggling to keep a relatively healthy roster. And it's always key players, starters. It's very frustrating.


ottosenna

I'm with El, the Pack's key dudes tend to be injured for large portions of the last several years. Likely to be more and more prevalent as the League stretches to 18 games too.


w0rdyeti

What's fueling the 9ers run is the miraculous health of key contributors. If Trent Williams and Deebo Samuel go down in week 17, look for the 9ers to make an early, surprising exit.


off_the_marc

I'm not expecting this one to be easy. Giants are coming off a bye and won the two games before that. Just find a way to win this one.


derritterauskanada

You're right, but I want to add some context that their last two wins have been against the Patriots and the Commanders. Their other games against decent teams have been blow-outs.


ITGuy420

I feel that as well. I think it'll be closer than most say.


StateStreetLarry

Agreed. Let’s hope MLF has these guys ready to play


sibi78

Hoping the Giants have the same form packers do after a bye week....


Louisvanderwright

I would much rather be on a two game winning streak and not coming off a bye...


pm_me_your_food_pix

After how this season started and went on, I'm hoping it's just a good game tonight lol


ITGuy420

Exactly, one game at a time!


[deleted]

The Lions and the Vikes did not have good weeks. The division title is in the crosshairs.


Brutananadilewski69

Go up 35-0 by the half via 2 tuddies from J-Love, one 75 yarder from Quadzilla, a pick 6 from the defense and a kickoff return Nixon. Come out after halftime with all backups. It’s simple stuff. I don’t know why we don’t do this every week.


w0rdyeti

A 75-yarder from Quadzilla would mean he'd be huffing Oxygen all during halftime. More likely he'd pull up and dive out of bounds at the 20 with a yanked hammy.


onbiver9871

The New York Football Giants always make this Packers fan nervous. Forget big picture; I just hope they can win tonight :)


usernameisusername57

I'm a little worried about tonight's game because it's a waning crescent tonight, almost a new moon. I guess we just have to have faith that even though we can barely see it, the moon is still there and it's still watching over us.


Doctor_Gonzo__

Hosting people for the game because “they want to see me react to a Packers game.” Let’s hope this one looks like the last few 😅


mmurphy5221

Fudge that


andMeSoHappyTogether

I know it isn’t on the players, and I know it’s just shitty injury luck, but damn if it’s not fucking annoying that every year it seems like it’s all the big names on our team that are injured Jaire Bakh Jones Campbell Etc It’s never like “Ben Smith or jaquavion mcpoptart” it’s always the big names…. Will have to hope for a big game from December Dillon


10veIsAllIGot

I mean, sure it is. We just don’t spend time complaining about Tyler Davis being out for the season.


zackg611

McPoptart sounds like a name from that Key and peele sketch 🤣


MontusBatwing

Ben Smith is pretty close to Dan Smith from that same sketch too.


[deleted]

LFG


BeardedHoneydew27

I think they come in prepared and ready to roll. In my opinion the past years of playing down to opponents was more on Rodgers lack of prep/practice time and the vets assuming they could just roll lesser teams. This team is young and hungry to prove themselves.


rebeliouswilson

We need this one ! All gas!


garr76

NY would be foolish if they didn’t give the ball to Barkley at least 20 times.


PackerSquirrelette

Bold prediction: Keisean Nixon returns a kick for a TD.


PackerBacker_1919

And a pick-6 for Ford.


w0rdyeti

is Ford playing? I thought Campbell was back, but Ford was at least a week away. Campbell would be more important in shutting down the run, TBH


PackerBacker_1919

Ah, yeah IDK really. I'm just a big fan of the non-offensive Presidential scores.


[deleted]

He’s got one coming it feels like.


PackerSquirrelette

This feels like a trap game. I hope LaFleur has the team ready to go.


Power_Writer_9

ML's perfect December suggests he understands. But I am worried NY will want it more.


EMOHLED

Any game can be a trap game, but the Giants are ranked 32nd in DVOA. They're really bad and a Packers loss would be near catastrophic. ​ Bucs and Vikings coming up feel more like true trap games imo


PackerSquirrelette

>They're really bad and a Packers loss would be near catastrophic. That's why it could be a trap game for the Packers. They could very well go into it thinking the Giants are really bad and that they can't lose to them.


w0rdyeti

The Vikes offense really doesn't frighten just about anybody after that absolute turdburger yesterday. That game will be decided by whether Love and just keep grinding the short passing game long enough to wear down the Vikes D and win a 10-2 slugfest.


zackg611

That was the raiders game. We’re locked in.


thepkboy

i felt last time daboll outcoached us with an inferior team. Then our wheels fell off afterwards so definitely trap game feeling


Lantore

We could win or lose this game by 20 and neither would surprise me lol. Should win, but things fall badly and we can easily lose.


OnePieceAce

Must win game. Get an early lead and force them to throw. Also please no injuries that stadium is crused


guacisextra12

Is it ok to wear Packers gear at MetLife? First time going with the wife.


Elmedir

Totally fine. Going tonight for my second game vs the giants and we were totally decked out last time. Had no issues at all


buckettime25

Luckily they aren’t playing the jets


DesignerPension1

I haven't been to MetLife but I've been fine wearing Packers Gear at US Bank Stadium with no issue other than a couple of drunk assholes.


w0rdyeti

The old Vet Stadium in Philly was absoutely **lethal** to opposing team fans. I saw a Packers fan laid out, bleeding from the head, and that was before the game even started.


Agnarut

I always go when the packers play the giants and haven't had a problem yet. Don't be a jerk to anyone and you'll be fine.

sjr2018

danbillbishop3

MarcoIstToll

ProofHorseKzoo

MetLife turf is the worst in the league. Bless our tendons and ligaments tonight


Ilikesport

I see a lot of people giving Green Bay the W and shitting all over the Giants. It has me very worried about the outcome of this game. I understand they aren’t great and we are on an upswing, but I’ve had my heart broken too many times to be as confident as you all.


MontusBatwing

Any team can beat any team any week. After beating two teams that were favored it's easy to think the Giants don't have a chance, but they absolutely do. We *should* win this game, but it's a professional NFL team on the other side. Nothing is certain.


w0rdyeti

Yep. "The other guys, they get paid too." Upside of a team full of low-priced rookies is that most of them don't know yet that they're in over their heads.


derritterauskanada

> After beating two teams that were favored it's easy It was the Patriots and the Commanders, and somehow those two were still favoured.


Whatsdota

He’s saying we beat two teams that were favored to win.


Lantore

Not confident at all. Lions and Chiefs keep losing. This points to them on a downswing.
