well, if you're on the visiting team, and you do the Lambeau Leap - you're very likely to have something "spill" on you.
 
I'm going to be cautiously optimistic that the offensive coaches will come up with a game plan that plays to
Willis's strengths. Including getting the run game going and persist with it.

The defense got 3 takeaways last Friday. I want them to get at least 3 this time as well. Wouldn't a pick 6 be fun? bouncy
 
A few HOF alumni going to be at Lambeau tomorrow. Lots of autographs going to be signed at several locations.

I see they're doing $35 for an autograph, and an extra $20 for a 3 word max add. You know the stuff. "To my friend,"

I've sat with players in the old days, eating lunch, and they'd end up signing a dozen or more autographs for free, and eat a cold meal. Of course, in those days, the players weren't compensated with much more than today's meal money, if that. So, whatever they can get, more power to them.
 
Just watched Indy-Houston. With the usual caveats that it’s game 1 and who knows:

On defense: I would have the same pass rush plan as they used against Hurts. I know we all want sacks and hits but I would play to contain Richardson and the safeties and corners cannot assume their guy is out of range when running deep because Richardson’s arm is immense. That said, he’s not the passer that Hurts is and Indy doesn’t have the WR talent. He completed 9 passes all game, I believe 4 or 5 were on the first two drives and only 4-5 the rest of the way but 2 were TDs and one of those was Favre level special. He can lower his shoulder and run inside or out. But passing, even when he sees it that arm can be scattershot. Then there is Jonathan Taylor. I don’t think Indy’s OL is as solid across the board as Philly’s but Taylor can still kill them.

On offense: this is the most boring take of all time but they have to run the ball. Joe Mixon really found something running left, by the third quarter he was gashing them running behind the LT-LG. Big day for Jacobs and Wilson. Of course to make that work they need to hit some deep throws as well but I would have the FB active and lean heavy on Kraft again for this one. Don’t make Willis have to read a D on third and long, Indy did a nice job stunting and blitzing and overall disrupting Stroud, who is in another class as Willis.

Overall just hit a couple deep shots early and then hammer away with the backs and small ball. And on D, Hafley is here to prevent another Bryce Young game. No way should Richardson be completing 60% on you.
 
Run! Run! Run! Control the line of scrimmage, and jam the ball down the Colts defensive throats. Then, when they load the box, air it out and hopefully give it the right air for one of our speedier receivers to snag it, and take it to the house.
 
Don't we need men with at least a bit of gumption on our offensive line to control the line of scrimmage?
