When the opposing teams defensive lineman begins to wear down, what do most teams like to do?

Quote:Also, for you non-readers, the high all camp for the packers was 86. Packers r (gonna) bake.

Their, not there.

Oh dear...here we go.

Quote:Give me a night of rain followed by 3-4 hours of max temps so it's similar to a sauna out there by the time they take the field. Melted cheese is better anyway.

tchsch, tchsx, tchsx... they're thare now.


...not gonna front, this board has me conditioned. For fear of 39 lashes 'pon mah backside, I was very careful to type "they're" wearing green"; earlier.

Somebody was talking about running backs wearing down.

Our biggest advantage is gonna be Yeldon/Ivory slashing and bashing their suspect run defense for a 11 yard average totaling damn near 300 yards.

 

Booooomm!!!

They're so gonna have butt and ball sweat it isn't funny.

Heard there was a packer rally at the town center, this true?

Quote:I remember a game when the Jaguars were playing the Steelers in Jacksonville and it was about 96 degrees and near 90% humidity and the Steelers players were dropping like flies. It's a huge advantage if we can play up-tempo and get their line dehydrated and cramping early.

 

I remember that game.

 

During a TV timeout late in the game all of the steeler players on the field had to pull off their helmets and take a knee because they were so gassed. All of the jag players just stood there in full gear laughing at them.

 

It doesn't matter where the guys played in college. You lose your acclimation to the weather fairly quickly when you leave an environment. Players who are currently acclimated to the weather have an advantage. Their bodies have adapted to better deal with the heat.

 

It may not be enough of an advantage to overcome a disparity in talent, but in a close hard fought game between to well matched teams it can most definitely be an advantage.

Quote:At one time the Jaguars had a huge W-L advantage in home openers. This changed only recently.

 

How long ago was that? Consider the roster and opponents.

 

Quote:I was at that game and it was hot. The heat factor is largely a myth.

 

The talent disparity can negate whatever advantage the home team has. If we were Super Bowl contenders and beat Green Bay, I don't think as many fans would say heat and humidity are irrelevant.

Keep doing what has been working for them.

The Jags just need their biggest advantage not to be outdone by their biggest disadvantage and they will have a good chance at being victorious today.

 

Please don't ask what their biggest disadvantage is.

Quote:It's 80 degrees and 60% humidity in Green Bay right now fwiw. I feel like that's a pretty big difference.

 

That's how it is inside my house

I'm sure its an advantage for us but I'm not sure by how much.  Considering how many TV timeouts there are and the high powered AC blowing fans theyve got on the sidelines.  Not to mention they'll be downing tons of water.  I cant imagine it's gonna swing it that far. Many when the game is late, it'll be close, and we can start to wear their defense down a little.  And hopefully the heat will start to have some kind of impact.
