2023 week 5 MNF in Vegas

[Snoops]

This game will be closer than people think I will go out on a limb and say this game is decided by a last second field goal by Carlson…

 

[Snoops]

Be nice to see Jones fed the ball at least 15 times minimum as well as 5 catches. He is by far the best player on offense and should be featured like it. Force the defense to bring extra defense and open up other receivers. The Dillon experiment is over imo I don’t like him getting more carry’s then jones. If he busted tackles and plowed people over maybe yet to see it lol Barry has lost all credibility to me. I don’t care if the defense shuts them out this game I will praise the players not coach lol
He is bottom 3 worst defense coordinators in the league.

 

[OldSchool101]

Use Dillon in a series or two but throw him a couple passes this week and DO NOT throw behind the LOS. Get him the ball past LOS with a yard or three of space to gain steam.

Until our Defense can show against a below average team that we can shut down the run? this is a tough one to predict. I’ll still go
Packers 23
Raiders 20

Instead of a Derrick Henry it may be time to acquire an O lineman instead.

Agreed. Bakh is done, IMO. It's unfortunate, but enough is enough. The guy is/was a great Packer, but the team has to move on.

I believe the positions of need are C (Myers is just bad.....) and then LT to protect Love's blind side. This is probably gonna have to wait for the draft. GB has had great success with the OL over the years. But they signed the contract with Bakh that is eating cap (there was no way to know he would get such a serious injury), Jenkins is getting paid and not playing much. Anyway, yeah Milani, time to fix the OL.

 

[PackerDNA]

Bach sounded like he definitely wants to play next year and they figure that they had the problem figured out and can be fixed. He doesn't know but sounded open to he and the Packers working something out next year

 

[gopkrs]

It will be interesting to see who plays R guard. If Crosby does not have success against Tom; he may move over a little.

 

[Snoops]

Which Karlson?

Probably the one with the coach that will let him kick a field goal longer than 45 yards…

 

[Pugger]

The talent level of the Raiders, position by position, is nowhere close to GB's. Their studs are Jacobs, Adams, & Crosby. Their O &D lines aren't close to what the Packers have faced so far. If this isn't a "get right" game for the Packers I don't know if there is one. GB 34, LV 13.

34? I doubt it, but if we don't make mistakes we should win this one.

 

[Snoops]

Crosby is gonna have at LEAST 2 Sacks lol

 

[Snoops]

34? I doubt it, but if we don't make mistakes we should win this one.

Can’t go 3 and out the first 4 drives..

 

[Pkrjones]

34? I doubt it, but if we don't make mistakes we should win this one.

Offense will get GB 24 to 27, D will chip in some points on Raider's mistakes.

The Leap seems to be a fading "thing" ... except for opponents who score in Lambeau, but wouldn't dare do a Leap in their own stadium for fear of getting knifed or robbed.

On the flip-side though, maybe I'm missing all the L.L.'s because I'm outside working with the game on the radio ... or, this offense seems to be so lame there isn't much scoring? I don't know, maybe it's just a mis-perception on my part.

 

[milani]

After ten days to lick their wounds and hopefully fix a few things the Packers go out to the Nevada desert to hopefully hit the bye week with a winning record. A spot not many put them at before camp opened.

I noticed they said we have beaten the Raiders in 8 straight going back to 1990. I just remembered that I had taped that 1990 game on the old VCR. It was in LA. What rings a bell is that we were underdogs. But our D and Majik pulled the upset. Chris Jacke kicked 5 FGs. I believe sadly that the following week Majik tore up his shoulder in AZ and Anthony Dilweg finished the season. We were in the hunt at the time but finished a dismal 6-10 losing our last 5 games.

With this team it is hard to predict anything in any quarter.

 

[milani]

Agree on Jones. Once the game started, I was certain he was still out. For some reason, MLF called a crazy high number of passes.

I don't think it would have changed the end result, but maybe they get 7 on that INT instead of 3. No matter. Hopefully he's now healthy and ready for the R8DRS. Gonna need him and the running game back to give Love a break here and there.

And off topic, but what is wrong with Dillon? Is it mostly the poor performance and injuries of the OL, or has Dillon just burned out. Kind of looks like the latter. He'll never be a guy with a lot of moves, but right now, he has none.

MLF saw that the Lions smothered the Falcons run game and felt they would do the same to us. And since our 4th quarter come back against NO came through the air he thought " Let's keep it going. "

 

[milani]

Not happy with the way the Packers have played, even in their victories. Too sloppy. Too many mistakes. I hope they start focusing on the details. Cut out 80% of the playbook and focus on 20%. Will be better team if they execute 20 plays at a high level than 100 plays marginally.

Mike Wahle, referenced above, thinks the Packers need more toughness. And I believe that is true. But I think play/role understanding would help in a big way.

The Raiders have plenty of issues, but I think the Packers can exploit the Raider defense. After being humiliated against the run, the Packers take a long look at it and makes some adjustments.

Packers 27 raiders 13.

Especially with a young team. Yes, they will make mistakes but keep the game simple. As they mature you open the playbook. That end around back pass to Love comes to mind. Good deceptive play that could go for big yards. But not with a rookie RB who just snuck in to the 53 on 4th down near midfield.

Might as well. He's getting pretty long in the tooth for a RB. Get the best out of him while we can because RBs don't really decline. They usually fall off a cliff and at almost 29 years old, he's really on borrowed time already. Very few backs are game changers beyond 30.

Agreed. I'm excited to say this, but our RB room needs to be revamped. I thought it was solid going into the season and it is just not. Jones has barely played and Dillon has taken a huge step backwards. Then there is nothing behind them.

I think Wilson will be very good. But he needs reps.

 

[Packerbacker1996]

This entire team has regressed with accepting of AJ and RG maybe 1 or 2 others. You can't just blame this on young players. It's the Crapshot coaching stuff starting with Lafleur and Barry.

Time to clean house before they waste this roster. I dontbcare if they beat trash Vegas team.

Fire this coaches. And if Gur don't act fire him too.

 

[Dantés]

The success of this season isn't dependent on a win tonight, but I do think that playoff contention might be. Success in 2023-24 looks like Jordan Love establishing himself as a good QB and developing. If he does that, I don't really care how many games they win. However, pushing for the playoffs behind him would be a big bonus. But if they can't beat the Raiders with a relatively healthy roster, I just can't see them being good enough to make it to the postseason this year.
