machine gun kelly Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I can't wait to see the Ice Bowl 2. I just read the story on the original Ice Bowl in 67. It was -17 degrees, but the windchill had it at -46 degrees. The funny part was in the final Packers drive, it was a windchill of -70 degrees. I can only imagine. I was at the coldest Bills game in the early 90's and that had a windchill of -48 degrees. It was so miserable, we had to leave in the 4th quarter b/c we didn't layer enough on our feet. It's going to be fun as the sun goes down it will be god awful cold. BTW - my prediction is 49 ers by 3, and comes down to the wire. There will be dropped passes due to how hard that ball will be.

agardin Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I think Levy had a saying 'when it's too tough for them, it's just right for us'. Whoever adopts that attitude will win. Coughlin's face new that a few years ago.

That was very interesting. Thanks jboys. The other day a guy called into the NFL Radio asked why doesn't the NFL use Nitrogen to fill the football vs. air. I looked into it and makes sense. Airlines use nitrogen vs. air as nitrogen is an inert gas so it does not expand or constrict due to fluctuations in temperature. If the NFL used nitrogen, there would be no difference in the feel of the football whether it was -50 degrees or 110 degrees like Arizona or Miami in September. That was a great idea. After watching jboys video, there would be no change in punts, kickoffs, or passes if they used nitrogen vs. air. I can't believe it's expensive.

I'd guess tradition and accessibility at lower levels are the two issues at hand. And crowds saying "well yea but he had a special ball"
NoSaint Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Did espn just say lacy is not wearing sleeves, just a compression shirt under his jersey? Jeeeeeze.
marauderswr80 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 -50!!!!! At kickoff! That's 80 degrees colder where I am and its 30 here. -50 you really need to cover up any bare skin!
marauderswr80 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Soo hard to get motivated in that type of cold.
Mango Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Did espn just say lacy is not wearing sleeves, just a compression shirt under his jersey? Jeeeeeze. I heard on NFL radio, a lot of guys who go sleeveless where petroleum jelly on there skin. it wicks moisture, and insulates the skin all at the same time. when you break it down this way, it may be even better than a polypro long sleeve, especially since they can reapply regularly. not to mention for a rb most likely makes him harder to grab.
tito1 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I've been red hot on my picks lately. Take GB money line, they win outright
Max997 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Did espn just say lacy is not wearing sleeves, just a compression shirt under his jersey? Jeeeeeze. Jordy is sleeveless as well Can the turf even be considered grass at this point? Not even remotely green Edited January 5, 2014 by Max997
Big C Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I like Kap, but he has to be the least clock-aware starting QB I've ever seen.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 The best wideout on the team is wide open deep. Good job Packers.
Big C Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Goal line series resembling that SB series. Why call 3 passes?

You'd think that'd be an issue with holding into the ball, no?
Rob's House Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Stat line per ESPN (Looks like Nelson's having a hell of a game ) : PASS: RUSH: REC: Rodgers 0-1, 0 yds, 0 tds Lacy 3 car, 9 yds, 0 tds Nelson 85 rec, 1314 yds, 8 tds Edited January 5, 2014 by Rob's House
littlelouie Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I would love to see the Packers lose up there in the frozen tundra. I love it when a warm weather team comes in and beats them in their back yard.
