I don't think that the Raiders have it in them to score 30 points. I think the score will be much lower. Closer to 13-10. I'm taking the Packers in this one. In the same respect, I could easily see a scenario where the Raiders win this one.
Stokes hurt his knee last season and had to recover from that. It was then reported out, and you'll never believe this, that during rehab he tweaked his hamstring. He's practicing this week though.
Maybe he started rehabbing too early and too hard. Surgery causes all the muscles etc. to get very weak. They say to build up the strength first.
It should be a get right game for the Packers, but who is not to say it won't be for the Raiders. Jimmy G. is still in concussion protocol, but with it being a Monday night game he has an extra day to get healthy. He's listed as questionable right now. Packers can't stop the run. Small sample size of 4 games, but it does not look good. Jacobs is the two time defending rushing champ. Could be a get right game for him. The Packers offense has been pretty inept. Minus a few drives, they can't move the ball. I don't see the Packers scoring 34 points. If I'm being honest, which I'm not sure why I would lie, I'm just as nervous about this game as any other on the schedule. My faith in this team is low. Which, I should say, was what I expected.
Thank You!
Just saw on the McAfee show that we are the third worst team in the league with three and outs - defined as not getting a touchdown or first down or turning the ball over on a series. 44% of all of our drives are three and outs. That has to drastically improve.
Yes, our offense is a mess right now. There is talent there, but the oline has been rough. The real problem is that they have not really had to play a hard team besides the Lions. The bears stink. The Falcons stink and the Saints stink. Yet, that is still the Pack's statistics. I know the defensive numbers are not great, but they have to keep trotting out there after all the 3 & outs. Don't mean to make excuses, but if the offense did anything it would be helpful to rest up the defense. I've said it a couple times already, but I'm nervous about this game.
Absolutely.
Thanks. With the Packers I'll believe anything when it comes to injuries, especially injuries on top of injuries, and especially hamstring injuries.
lis franc is a foot injury, right? I know those involve lengthy recoveries. The meniscus tear depends on the severity. Those are usually treated with an arthroscope. Thanks Ty.
Yeah I just googled lis franc. It can be minor, but when it's football related, it's usually severe. For anyone not a professional athlete, fusion with metal and screws fixes it but impairs mobility. So the challenge is fixing it so the athlete can return to the field. And that takes time.
The GB offensive skill players should all finally be healthy & on the field, togther. Aaron Jones, C. Watson & Musgrave will be available for Love. I'm hoping Love takes an early, successful, deep shot to Watson or Musgrave to help soften up the Raider D.
However, LambeauLambo did call the Bear victory correct on TNF.
Crunch time is critical. But we cannot come out and lay an egg like Thursday.
Now the tabloids are fabricating that we got Justin Henry in a monster trade. How stupid do you think fans are?
Stokes coming back from his surgery said he ran into some hamstrings as well. And thar delayed his return even more.
I haven't seen any mention of the Packers in on a Derrick Henry trade? Other teams may want him, but he'd help very little, imho, in GB. We need, & will get, Jones, Watson & Musgrave back together to allow the offense to blossom.
And I would think Tennessee still needs him.
Even if a trade could be worked out, I'm not in favor of acquiring a RB so close to his expected expiration date. GB has plenty of real or budding impact players - Jones, Watson, Musgrave, Reed, Doubs. This is the year for them to learn how to play together. And hopefully this is also a stepping-stone year for Love.
Instead of a Derrick Henry it may be time to acquire an O lineman instead.
