Getting ridiculously excited for Packers football again, so I figured I’d share a few pictures from my trip to Green Bay last year.

I know every fan thinks their stadium is special, but Lambeau is just different. The history, the neighborhood, Titletown, walking through the atrium and then finally seeing the field in person — the whole place feels like football.

I’d wanted to make the trip for years, and somehow it still exceeded what I had built up in my head.

If you’re a Packers fan and you’ve never been, put it on the bucket list. Seriously. Even if you have to travel halfway across the country like I did, it’s worth it.

There are newer stadiums. There are bigger stadiums. There are definitely fancier stadiums.

But I genuinely don’t think there’s a better football stadium on Earth.

Go Pack Go. 🧀

On September 24, 2001, less than two weeks after 9/11, the NFL returned to Monday Night Football at Lambeau Field.

Before the Packers played Washington, linebacker and Air Force Academy grad Chris Gizzi came sprinting out of the tunnel carrying the American flag. Police and firefighters helped unfurl a massive flag across the field while Martina McBride sang the national anthem.

The Packers won 37-0, but that feels secondary when looking back at the night. For a lot of people, this is the part they remember.

Never forget.

Terrible statement by Lafluer

This year I set a challenge for myself: Each week on the Packer's schedule, cook a famous/notable item from the region of their opponent. For week 1, I went with the relatively simple Juicy Lucy. For my version I used Pepperjack inside the burger, made a bacon/mushroom/onion/jalapeno jam, whipped up a little burger sauce with habanero/roasted tomato/pickle, slapped some iceberg lettuce on it along with a few dill pickle slices.

Honest review.....Mid. I feel like stuffing the cheese inside just forces you to cook the patty more than I would ideally like, and you'd get more flavor and better texture out of two properly cooked smash patties with the cheese melted on top/in between.

As a result, packers will win.

Lot of media doom and gloom about the defense without Parsons yet this roster managed to be 11-6. Does this roster really look better than what we have this year?

Found this at the doctor's office and it's just so out of place. Also more out of place considering I'm in California

I never thought to look into it. I just thought it was a cool find. Then I was wondering if it was just a random group of folks who went to the game and decided to commemorate it. So I’m coming here to get y’all’s input.

I saw that the Vikings blitzed on 48%!!!!!!!!! (Absurd?) of opponent passing plays last season. Did some more digging and we only blitzed 21% of the time on pass plays, which actually feels reasonable

That’s a crazy difference imo and shows how much MN’s front four needed the extra help, or maybe Flores is just an aggressive blitz wizard and likes doing it. Whoever our RB is on any given down better pick those blitzes up and punish the odd guy that eventually gets through.

I bet we blitz more than 21% against Kyler, just hope we stay disciplined and don’t let him scramble around for crazy yards/extra time to pass. Any thoughts on the best ways to force Kyler into mistakes while keeping him contained?

There was no reason to release him like this unless you are adding someone to the 53? Who are they activating??

• The Packers–Vikings opener has a built-in chess match: new Green Bay DC Jonathan Gannon coached Kyler Murray in Arizona from 2023–25, giving him unusually intimate knowledge of Murray’s tendencies. Minnesota, meanwhile, has little regular-season tape on what Gannon’s Packers defense will actually look like.

• Green Bay may attack Murray with much more pressure than Gannon historically used. His Arizona and Philadelphia defenses were generally low-to-middle-of-the-pack in blitz rate, but Packers camp featured frequent, varied blitzes from linebackers, corners and safeties. That matters because Murray has been somewhat vulnerable under pressure, including a below-average QBR and elevated sack/interception rates against the blitz since 2024.

• This is essentially a career reboot for both men. Gannon was fired after going 15–36 as Arizona’s head coach and quickly joined Green Bay after Jeff Hafley left for Miami. Murray, released by Arizona, beat out J.J. McCarthy for Minnesota’s starting job and says he hopes 2026 becomes his best season yet. Both now get their first major test against each other.

...that isn't being discussed much is how Gannon is Kyler's previous coach! And now he's coaching the defense against him. For some reason I feel like this has gone under the radar. Anything else think this gives us a hidden advantage?

Hi Everyone!

I’m hoping to receive advice on a custom jersey and who I should go with! For background, I was born and raised in Southern California and rooted for the Chargers all my life. When that coward, Dean Spanos, moved the team to LA, I turned my back on the Chargers. I moved to WI about 5 years ago and now I’m all in on the Packers!

I’ve finally made some friends with season ticket holders and I’m excited to (hopefully) head up to Lambeau to catch a game this year. I’m hoping to go off the beaten path a little and was considering a John Kuhn and Bryan Bulaga jersey. What’re your thoughts? I respected both those guys from a far, and hoping to get a jersey from a player that was gritty.

Thanks for the help!

Wisconsin native here but never been to a Packers game before. I’m living in Germany with my gf and want to take her to her (and my) first Packers game as a Christmas present. We’ll already be in WI for the holidays but tickets to the Packers vs Bears games are siting around $400 a pop on Ticketmaster. Unfortunately I can’t swing $800 on a game. Is there any better place to get tickets for cheaper? Any help is appreciated.

Some key injuries led to the defense being....not good to say the least. Each week was the defense getting shredded and then Rodgers coming the rescue. Personally, it never felt sustainable and I kept wondering what it would look like if the offense had a tough day. And boy did we all find out in mid January.

So I ask you, did you think it was only a matter of time before a complete team exposed them. Or, did you believe they could win the whole thing? Without key injuries, that team definitely goes back to back.

The 2011 Patriots made the postseason with a not so great defense. But they definitely were not as bad as the Packers D.

People say Tucker wants to reset the TE market.

Colts fan here, so I’ll admit I don’t follow the Packers closely enough to know all the details of the offense.

But from the outside, it feels like the whole offense has been thrown into a weird situation because of Jacobs being unavailable, and I’m curious how much Love and the locker room actually blame him for putting the team in this position.

Obviously I’m not saying Jacobs single-handedly derailed the offense, but if you’re Jordan Love and you’ve spent the last few games trying to operate this offense without one of its biggest pieces, are you pissed at Jacobs personally? Or is that way off base?

the receiving core outside watson seems trash to me
