Windy And Cold For Game Time In Green Bay

Temps dropping all day up there, low 20's around kickoff. It will be in teens with wind chills near zero before game is over. Steady 15mph wind gusting over 20mph.

Good for defense, but bad for offense.

Tom Brady wishes to thank Mother Nature for this gift that she bestows on us today in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Both Qb throw a tight spiral and handle the wind well, but the weather will make the running game more important. GB takes more shots down the field than the Pats so this will provide a slight advantage to the Pats.

No offense, but "yawn."

If this was Peyton, it would be big. Rodgers, however is not a wussy. It is the same weather for both QBs. Slight advantage for the Patriots as the long ball is not really part of the arsenal so if it is even a minor part of the Packer's game...

But the key word there is "SLIGHT."

I will be more concern if the weather is hot and humid, rather than cold and windy.

I don't think it effects either team much. Brady and Rodgers are both great cold weather guys. Maybe helps us a bit in the run game but I'd think Green Bay's defense is used to the cold. Would not want to tackle Blount and Gray in the freezing cold.

Gray and Blount have had success, but one game does not a season make. Looking forward to seeing our running game take another big step on the frozen tundra this afternoon.

Manning would be crying if he had to play in this.
