Not Much Strategy Needed

In today’s photo, we see Packers quarterback Bart Starr (#15) having a conference with head coach Vince Lombardi during a time out. If our analysis is correct, we believe this is during the 1962 match-up with the Eagles in Philadelphia’s Franklin Field. On that day, it turns out Green Bay didn’t need to put a whole lot of effort into trying to outwit the Eagles, as the visiting Wisconsinites whipped the home team 49-0 in front of 60,671 “City of Brotherly Love” fans. Our guess is that the number of local fans still there at the end of the game was considerably less than the previous figure.

Green Bay opens the 2010 season in Philadelphia this September 12th. 49-0 would be nice, but we’d take something a little closer in score as long as the green and gold come out on top to kick things off nicely this season. We hate the Vikings and Bears the most, but we don’t think there’s much love between Green Bay and Philadelphia lately, either.
