Turnovers (Favre meltdowns) and Bad Defense …
That’s how I’d explain last decades 2-4 home playoff record…

Plus you’ve got those two games against a red hot Giants team (that went onto beat a undefeated Patriots team)

Cold weather as a leg up on the competition is a myth. Nobody “likes” the cold, and Green Bay has a bitter cold game maybe every two-three years. Usually the temps are tolerable in the low to mid twenties.

Any professional athlete can handle that.

Some of you people need to chill out. 85 has been great for us, amazing talent and class act. Guy is just being honest, I haven’t missed a Packers game since 2002, if you think we aren’t a better team indoors your crazy and I don’t know what team you’ve been watching. I would love to see him retire a Packer but the reality is everyone can’t get paid. TT has us set up for the future. 85 will get paid and good for him. Let’s enjoy GJ while we still have him and the playoff push. After all is said and done I wish him and his family the best of luck wherever they end up.

Greg has a point, the Packers are 1-2 at home and 3-1 on the road since the 2007 playoffs. But go out there and get the Lambeau monkey off of your back fellas!

Shoot, I was hoping the Pats might try to get him next year. Guess this kills that thought. I think he’d be fantastic in Indy.

There’d be plenty of room for Jennings in purple, there’s starting to be more and more rumbling that Harvin may be gone, so there’s one huge contract the team won’t need to sign. Jarius Wright is no Harvin, but he’s played well in Percy’s absence. Sign Jennings as your #1, draft another big WR, have Wright as your slot guy, Rudolph at TE and you have a decent corps of receivers for Ponder to throw to

I’ll say this, the guy looked like an all pro indoors last Sunday.

Hakeem Nicks and Plex had no problem having huge receiving games in lambeau. They didn’t mind the cold.

“Greg would look good in Purple next year”
==========================

Not saying it wont or cant happen, but you are forgetting that the Purple have 16 free agents next year including 6 starters. Those free agents include Erin Hendersen, Jasper Brinkley, and Phil Loadholt. Jared Allen will also be a free agent in 2014, which impacts how much they can spend this year.

I saw one site that said that the Vikings could target more reasonably priced talent such as Domenick Hixon or Donnie Avery.

Jennings would likely cost a fortune.

As for Jennings, he’s got to be careful not to burn any bridges here, hey may find out, just as James Jones did, that the free agent market isn’t all its cracked up to be.

The Packers are a speed, pass heavy team. The old saying that a good defense and a strong running game wins championships isn’t heard too much lately. If the conditions are poor in Lambeau this weekend it should play more to the Vikings advantage. This could shape up to be another entertaining, competitive game.

Jennings didn’t say there was no advantage at home, just that he personally would rather play indoors. Wouldn’t anybody? The temperatures at Lambeau aren’t conducive to a receiver putting up big numbers…

Coming into Lambeau Field isn’t much of a threat nowadays like it used to be. Just because they play in GB, doesn’t mean they’re used to the conditions. This team as well as the past recent teams, are built for the domes. They’re a fast/finesse team. Not a diss on Lambeau, just being realistic.

Greg would look good in Purple next year and he would get 8 games in a dome well 7 cause we have to play PIT in London next year which is a home game for us which I thing stinks.

Then it will be Jenings instead of Sharper saying ” you all thought I wouldn’t look good in Purple? Look at me now, Look at me now “

The NFC championship will only be in a dome if ATL wins. I think it will be in SF

He’s right. All you have to do is go back to their SB year when they destroyed the Falcons in Atlanta. It looked like a home game for the Packers.

Sounds like Jennings is interviewing for a job with the Vikings next year. Jennings, just be ready for the Lambeau crowd to make you a scapegoat and say “we’re glad he’s gone, he never did much for us anyhow”.

Greg Jennings is being honest.

To the dismay of the Packer faithful.

Back when the Packers were playing teams from the little sisters of the poor – they never played games in December and January. Heck – they canceled games in Green Bay because of rain back in the day.

The myth that football was meant to be played outdoors in any kind of weather is just that – a myth.

As a fan I’m getting really tired of the talk coming out of GJ. I understand that he is answering questions from the media but c’mon man. Can’t wait to hear what comes out of his mouth when he goes to another team that has a terrible QB situation. He’s been fortunate in his career to play with one and possibly two HOF signal callers.

I’m waiting to read his sister’s tweet to see what she thinks of home-field advantage.
