Dude, I was just going to mention Schwarz'. I have been to the one in St. Ann. IU has an alumni camp in Elkhart Lake that I used to help work, and we would make the trip just for Schwarz'. 

A couple of my clients swear by it.  I was just up there for a golf outing and was hoping to go there, but the wait was 2 hours long!  Elkhart Lake is an amazing place, the Osthof is an amazing hotel.

I love how this thread started as football but quickly went to what packer fans really care about.....good food and beer 

And I'm cool with that....

But the game against Minnesota Should be a good one.  GB will need to score a lot more than 10, though...

Prime Rib, perch, beer, old-fashioneds, go to any Wisconsin town (I like Altona and  Schwarz's in New Holstein) and you'll findsomething great!

Good bounce back home opener win.   David Bell showed up big, Rondale doing Rondale things and Hopkins working the middle.  Holt back on sideline, all was well in land of Boilers

Run.  The.  Ball.

Kroll’s was a regular stop for us when we went up to visit family every Summer, a d a couple of Winters. Great memories. 

Been going to Kroll's for years, but Wisconsin has something even better: the Supper club...

All I can say is what has been my problem has now shifted east, good luck!!!

Give AR-12 time.

I’ve seen that I’m not the only Green Bay fan on the forum so figured I should make a thread and not talk packers on da bearz thread. 

 

I also just happen to live in Green Bay about a mile from Lambeau, so if any of you make the venture north I would be happy to point ya to the good food and possibly grab a few brews with ya.

 

talking points currently:

packers defense very good....packers offense very bad.  Usually it’s the exact opposite 

Go to Kroll’s much?

I agree with Muda that QB1 should have been used more in the Pre-Season. The kid needs to figure it out this year or the Bears should move on. As Steve Young said last night, Mitch literally stared down his WR on that end-zone INT like a HS QB would. You can't waste a Super Bowl caliber defense on a mistake of a pick. I get that Mahomes was also a questionable Top 10 pick at the time of the draft, but I'll never understand how you TRADE UP to draft a QB that barely played in college and nobody else was coveting that early. Especially, when you could have taken a proven talent like Watson. That move will haunt Pace forever.

Gipper, you should be ashamed of yourself! Do you take the South Shore into the Chicago Loop? if so, I'm assuming you get on at the East Chicago station on Indianapolis Blvd. As punishment, you should board the train on Monday wearing a Packers jersey. 

 

I often wear my Packers gear into Chicago, doesn't phase me...

Given my location, I take Metra from University Park.  Although I have ridden the South Shore a few times, I don't really like it.

De Pere is a wonderful area of Green Bay to live. It would be my first choice to live if I could afford the houses lol. Great schools there too. 

 

As for AR12 I thought he did really well.  For me the big surprise came with 2 pieces. Both centered around Antony Miller.  

1) I don’t believe I heard Millers name once and don’t think he was targeted at all. 

2) Cohen lined up almost exclusively as a Slot WR and effectively benched Miller.  Cohen also didn’t get a single carry.  Granted I think Davis and Monty are good. The latter especially...but mike Davis taking numerous catches was a head scratcher. Put Cohen in the backfield and feed him carries to offset his receiving.  Keep teams honest

Great observations!  De Pere is a little pricey, I concur.  I was at Wolf Lake a few weeks ago--real nice.

I completely agree with both of you here. 

 

I live in Green Bay about a mile from Lambeau and have lived here for most of my life (outside of middle school and high school at Gibson Southern) so I’m tempering expectations of the packers.  I think people did sleep on the packers defense.....but not playing the starters in the preseason hurt. It took 3 quarters to get Aaron Jones to have a positive rush it seemed...passing was out of sync most of the night. Also seemed like the Packers were scared to throw it over the middle. Bears have a great defense and incredible LBs but Rodgers can make those throws.  Need more crossers and drags imo. 

 

Trubisky did okay imo also.  I think he made a fatal mistake staring down his receiver on the INT in the 4th and had a few others that should have been picked off but overall I think he did well within whatever scheme Nagy is calling. Nagys plays confused me and earlier on they just looked like a complete mess.  The bears strength in offense is probably up tempo short and intermediate passes with feeding Monty as time goes on.

 

i truly believe the packers defense asserted themselves last night. The DBs we have are very good...especially our safeties.  

A lot of my family is from the Green Bay area (De Pere and Allouez currently), I grew up in the heart of Bears and the Colts country, yet my allegiance stayed true.  It was more than obvious AR-12 was off his game due to not playing for a long time, the defense is what really stood out.

Your resident Packer fan here just dropping by.😬😬😬  how bout that game now?  Looks like there are 2 good defenses in the NFC north.

 

reading the comments. The comment on Cohen being a gadget guy is kinda on...Monty is an every down guy and Cohen effectively the slot WR replacing Miller. 

I’m also a Packer fan.  The Bears were also a victim of their own hype.  And, yes, although the Packers do have a great defense, but Aaron and the boys need to step on the gas if they don’t want an 8-8 season.

I have seller's remorse now that the game is here:   Wish we were going instead of taking the pay day.    Oh well      

NOW THIS:

 

 

Thing of beauty...

Portage also played one heck of a game as they pasted Lowell.

Jeff won, WL is WL again, Penn won big, and Valpo also looked good.

One more thing, sports fans: Purdue was not the only B1G that had their share of troubles as Northwestern lost, Minnesota and Nebraska and didn't exactly slaughter their opponents, and the Ball State-IU game wasn't a blowout...

Lots to clean up:    

I am not stressing   

Understand why the negativity, tough loss, no doubt.    Not worse than Eastern Michigan loss last year in my opinion   

 

Me neither--could have been the altitude, could have been the D giving in (which can be ultimately attributed the altitude), and the turnovers didn't help.   But FWIW, it's not a one-game season...

Well, if that’s not a stereotypical “Purdue loss,” I don’t know what. It’s year 3 and the honeymoon is over. Brohm is making too much cash to be blowing 31-14 lead midway through the 2nd half. I would not be surprised if Sindelar eventually loses QB1 to one of the younger guys. He’s a complete liability. I would expect a 1st year starter to throw that ridiculous pick with 1 minute left. 

If we would have protected the ball, the outcome would have been much different.

The ending was not so great, but the first half was, so Brohm needs to build on that. As I’ve said before, was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Purdue has way too much firepower, especially at receiver.  As for Nevada's QB--new guy.  Boilers pull away late, 48-21...
