Yes & no lol. Our fandom sometimes forgets to look at the big picture- safety is truly of utmost importance.

That's why I won't ever go to a game in Pittsburgh. 

Pittsburgh is a fine city with great people, but for 3-3.5 hours a year when the Browns visit, it's not. To be fair, some fans from there feel the same way about CLE.

I've bowled in tournaments in The Netherlands, Ireland, Spain, & China. All positive experiences but you can't help but think " are my wife and I going to be ok?" It's just part of human nature, wanting to be safe 

Well yeah, but the whole "Brazil has nothing but gangs and crime" is ridiculous. The "crime" in Brazil is being way overblown. 

I mean, yes there are parts of cities in Brazil you shouldn't walk by yourself at night. Just like there are parts of nearly every major city in the U.S. where you shouldn't walk alone at night.

I have been to Brazil, there are many amazing parts of the country. Also amazing parts of São Paulo where the game is being played. I prefer Rio to Sãu Paulo, but both are worth a visit.

The most dangerous thing about Brazil right now is the air quality because of the wildfires. It sounds like even that is down to acceptable levels now. 

Just as an aside(the women of Brazil are among the most beautiful in the world.)

Should be a great game. The Packers are thinking only about beating the Eagles. Bringing back that dub.

Wanna lay some money on Josh Jacobs having the better game? You can pay me on Zelle after the game. You decide the amount, I don't know your level of confidence in Saquon or the Eagles. Seems like just bluster because a Packers fan is here.

Good luck with that final score as well 

Top offensive rankings going into the 2024 season.

And we haven't even talked about new DC Jeff Hafley and his defense. 7 first round picks in the starting 11 on D.

Uh oh. Not a good look NFL.

I think the Eagles will win easily.

Having a good deal of familiarity with Hafley's designs from his time with the country 3 at tOSU, and being pretty versed in what Coach Fangio does, Jacobs having a better game than Quon, in terms of rushing stats, wouldn't be all that surprising.  Coach Vic really loves setting then bringing his Dbs at/from depth into the run fit.  Tends to make coaches play patient.  But there is a part of me wondering if young Lefleur has that level of patience within him. 

On the flip side, a lot of Hafley's single high designs have long drawn counters, especially by teams that can run the rock, work ball action to invite downhill while working vertical.  And the Packers DBs, outside of McDuffie, aren't particularly tall.

I don't bet people who I don't know.  And I think Eagles will dominate your packers.?

I think you mean Xavier McKinney, one of the Packers safeties. McDuffie is a LB. 

I don't think height of DBs will decide this game or really matters if they can play. But the smallest DBs on the Packers are 5'11", and 5'10(Jaire Alexander, one of the best CBs in the league.) And CB Eric Stokes is 6'1 and McKinney is 6'0.  I'll take the Packers DBs over the Eagles. Philly's DBs are suspect. Mitchell is a rook that J-Love will torch.

LaFleur is about balance. Isn't like LaFleur runs a pass happy offense.

The game has passed Fangio by. This is why he has had to move around so much the last 5 years.

Cool beans. I don't think your post will age well. We will see in 3 days.

Did I mention I have Dallas winning?? Nothing against the Browns, but I don't see them beating the Cowboys out the gate in 2024.

Projecting again I see.

I will pray things get better for you. 

Enjoy the season, I know I will!

[SdBacker80]

I like the Packers straight up with one of my upsets this week.  I think they will get better QB play.  And Against the spread as favorites the Eagles ended the year poorly while the Packers were great in that spot.  New year though- but i expect the Packers to continue this trend.

The Eagles are deemed the home team for this game, so I guess that is why Vegas has them -3.? I'm just glad the Packers are not the ones that lose a home game because of this international game.

I don't place bets or make guarantees when it comes to the Packers, but I like their chances in this one.

I think a lot of people will come away from this game with the thought that the Packers defense is much better than what the national media led them to believe about the Packers defense.

Bottom line..

The Packers have the superior roster and coaching staff. The Eagles though are indeed a very good team. The Packers will have to play at the high level they are capable of to bring home the dub.

There's more smog in the Philly metro area, so a slight advantage to the Eagles' lungs.

Philly's D let 'em down last year. If it isn't improved, the Pack wins 27-20. 

PSA- this game shouldn't be a week 1 game in Brazil. The NFL is getting silly here, play it later on, like week 3 or 4.

Worst cities for smog are in California. Philly isn't even in the top 20. They are saying the air quality in São Paulo at present isn't as bad as it was a week ago. Closer to the Amazon is where it is the worst.

27-20 is a decent pick for a final score.

I personally don't think Philly gets to 20(maybe 16) but I am biased after seeing Green Bay's D all camp. I like what D coordinator Jeff Hafley has brought to the defense.

We shall soon see what happens. The Pack departs on their flight to Brazil at 7:20 a.m. today(Weds.) 12 hour flight. Get some sleep on the plane boys.

It's a week 1 NFL games thread. No one is begging you to read my posts. Put me on ignore, rather than crying over me. 

Most stable and knowledgeable fans enjoy a different perspective on things once in a while. I check out a few NFL team message boards. In the end we all are NFL fans.

Never had a problem before on a NFL fan forum.  Most here represent a great fan base in Cleveland.
