Not Here To Make Excuses, But The Packers Staying At a Hotel Two Hours Away From The Football Stadium In Brazil Feels Unnecessary
Bloomberg. Getty Images.It's Packers Game Day in Brazil. Woke up today so excited to see the boys out there. Love gets to build off his insane 2nd half of the season and a brand new contract, the defense is revamped, young talented WRs a year older, Josh Jacobs, Jeff Hafley, a new kicker who isn't named Anders Carlson. It's a new year full of hope.
The dynamic of opening the season in Brazil does have my head spinning though. While it's great to have a road game in a neutral site and not in the hostile grounds of the Linc, it seems the NFL has decided to give a competitive advantage to the Eagles in a different way.

Honestly how does this happen? Is it the NFL's fault? Is this a Packers traveling secretary botch? Costanza? Just rotting in 2 hours of traffic before the game is far from ideal. That's a lot of music to play to keep you amped. You might see a player or two nap. Someone could tighten up. Just can't have this. "Oh but they'll have a police escort to the stadium!" Yeah how you gonna utilize that if there's a massive traffic jam. Reading quickly I see the traffic in Brazil is some of the worst on the planet. Are the police going to use a rocket launcher to dispatch cars and build a hole for the buses like John Kuhn is paving the way? If that's not currently in the gameplan I'd love for it to be recommended.
You mean to tell me, there wasn't a single hotel in the city closer? Did we just search hotels in São Paulo and pick the first one without looking at a map? Couldn't just put both teams in the same one? I need answers and someone's head!
People (idiots) always like to say the refs favor the Packers, but it seems the higher power has gone out of their way to fist fuck the Pack before kickoff even happens. This feels like a Big Dom move. I don't care for it at all. If the offense starts slow in the first quarter I have my built in excuse already.
Also, it's been said on here but shout out to the NFL for picking two teams that wear green to play in a city where the color green gets you murdered. Good stuff. Everything should go smoothly tonight.
