Official week 6 game thread: J-E-T-S jets jets jets.

[Poppa San]

Noon Lambeau time. 1st nooner all season IIRC.

 

[McKnowledge]

This game will determine the season.

This game will certainly test the viability of Green Bay as a playoff team.

Lose and I truly believe that things will spiral out of control.

Green Bay not only needs to win, but they must be completely dominate.

 

[PackerDNA]

We are 7 point favorites. I wouldn't make this team at 7 point favorite over anyone right now.

 

[Pkrjones]

Someone in GB will pull their head from their behind and figure it out this week ... not sure if it'll be MLF, Barry, or AR but I don't expect another fiasco. Think there's too much pride on the D side and they figure out how to stop crossing patterns. The rush gets to Wilson & he never gets comfy in the pocket. Quay's speed helps negate Breece Hall & they keep him in-check.

Huge question is if MLF/AR start leaning on their RB's to move the chains and burn the clock, especially in the 2nd half?

GB 31- Jets 17

You've got a lot more faith in Walker than I do.

I will be in attendance this week. Jets fans will be asking what happened to you guys last week.

Dominate? Only a handful of teams right now are capable of that and the Jets are not the sorry bunch they've been in recent years. I don't care what the finale score is as long as we get the W.

I am disappointed that Q does not make the big hits like I was hoping. So far, he is a wrap them up type tackler. I hope he takes some opportunities to hit running holes and stop the RB dead in his tracks. He has the size for it.

Typically I'd just laugh and move on...BUT I actually believe some of what you're describing to be the case. Not to the extent of what you're describing at all, but I do put a lot of stake in this Jets game. The teams back isn't against the wall but we are nearing it and are a long way from the rooms door on the other side of the room if you will.

Lose and at best this team is going to be an underachieving bottom tier playoff contender that you keep hoping will wake up and be who everyone thinks they should be but could never do that.....or they could quickly be a 4-2 team, solid well played game and begin to feel as if the wheels of progressing are getting traction from.

A lose doesn't destroy the team's season, a win doesn't guarantee domination...however there is a massive swing in how I think the season will progress forward off a win or loss to your point...if that makes sense.

Quay never gave me the impression of a Desmond Bishop lover of hitting. He loves tackling, won't shy from it but he also isn't one at least presently that sees a chance and is wanting to make the hit one the ball carrier remembers.

 

[Krabs]

The Jets are in the bottom half of the league in points given up. Unfortunately, the Packers are in the bottom half of scoring. Something has to give there. I think the Packers get on track and put more sustainable drives together and put up a decent amount of points. The Jets are actually more efficient on the offensive side of the ball than the Packers are. Think about that! The Packers are in an okay place in terms of points given up on the defensive side of the ball. On paper, this looks like a close game. I think it will be something like 28-24 Packers. It will be another game where we will be in doubt of the outcome till the clock hits 00:00.

No .500 team is out after week 6, especially not one that was expected to start slow to begin with.

Many teams don’t even find themselves until about week 10-12 area and that’s when we see the real Playoff candidates step up. I can’t count how many times a 6-0 team loses 2-3 straight etc.. some teams are still finding their way and some are losing their way.

The 2 teams that beat us have a combined record of 8-2. These aren’t sleezeballs. One should be fighting fir a Division title (Vikings) late in the season and the other a possible Wildcard spot (Giants). Both teams have a phase (or both) ranking better than The Packers in scoring.
Giants 9th scoring D; 19th Offense
Vikings 14th Defense; 12th Offense
Packers 11th Defense; 22nd Offense

 

[McKnowledge]

I don't care what the finale score is as long as we get the W.

True. The records only care about wins and losses.

Context is very important this season, because there is no margin for error.

There is no Davante Adams-esque WR on IR coming to save the day.

This team was relatively healthy and lost to a injury plagued team (NY Giants) that outclassed them.

This week 6 (expected) win has to be throughly convincing. There are so many intricacies in this game at Lambeau.

Saleh has Green Bay's number and knows how to pressure Rodgers. He may not have the personnell, but his players are hungry and willing to fight for him.

Also, remember Mike La Fleur, younger brother of MLF is the OC for the Jets.

The Jets have some really nice pieces on Offense and Joe Barry better get the Defense ready to stay disciplined and prepared.

Mike La Fleur is gonna come to Lambeau with every intention of proving his worth to big bro. Competition amongst siblings can get brutal.

A loss at home to another perceived inferior team is a no-go.

If my Packers don't win and win convincingly, the remaining teams on the schedule will come for blood.

Bottom line.

A convincing victory at Lambeau next Sunday, will either feed the "hater's" hysteria or shut them up for a while.

Perception of the Green Bay Packers is at stake.

Yeah. Also this a true HOME game. That London game was called a home game for the Packers and that’s just BS.
We’re still 2-0 at Lambeau. Let’s make it 3-0

If I’m not mistaken, we are relatively healthy overall. Be watching the injury report closely tomorrow (Thursday). That day seems to be when you have a good depiction of a players status that week.

I’ll be curious to see if Eric Wilson plays some? We signed (and elevated) him from the Saints practice squad to our 53.

Packers were on the list at the beginning of the season as Super Bowl contenders.

I don't care about stats. Numbers never lie, but they change, and can be interpeted differently.

The division title should be expected.

Wildcard spot is not good enough.

This season feels different.

All of us can act like everything is fine, but a loss here can create a miserable season.

I never expected us to start fast on Offense and I think if you did? you were in a minority of fans both in GB and around the NFL. Our Offense is currently ranked #22 in scoring and the chances of that remaining there or getting worse as the season progresses is slim to none.

While you can diminish the importance of stats or say they don’t tell a story or they are unreliable because it’s a moving target, they still are relevant because they compare your results to the competition. We don’t play ourselves, we play an opponent and the rankings are against our opponent. The team that scores the most points on Offense and allows the least points on Defense wins every time in every game scenario. We can’t change that no matter how good our opinion sounds or what our long term expectations might entail.

That said and with all due respect. You might not care about scoring the most points or where our strengths or weaknesses match our opponent or areas of needed improvement. Well I don’t care that we are Superbowl favorites so we both don’t agree on our approach. We do agree just beat the dang Jets!
and everything takes care of itself.

A loss and this board will be flooded with posters most of you have never seen all saying they know what ails the team and/or the front office needs to go. They'll also rehash every problem we've discussed over the past years.

The 2010 team disagrees with that take.

2010 is completely irrelevant to 2022.

The playoff bracket is dilluted with 2 more teams.

Probably the only thing we agree on...

Agreed, I said somewhere that I felt this team wouldn't be starting to hit it's stride until about mid October or early November. String some wins together from there to the end of the season and doubters will have a different take. Sure, I want to win every game and losing to the Giants was super disappointing. However, even if they lost to the Jets all is not lost. As the old saying goes, get into the playoffs and it's the team that is hot at the time that makes a run. GPG!

I totally agree. Stats tell a story. They don't necessarily predict the future, but they are indicators for sure. Coaches look at them to see what they need to improve on. Then at some point of the year, I'd say by week 8-9, you can start using them for indicators of an outcome. Sure, any given Sunday and it is the NFL, but still very relevant. I love stats!

 

[OldSchool101]

Well?? I like Chicken. Are you a vegetarian?
Hey relax the Packers made Playoffs
2009 4-4
2010 3-3
2012 3-3
2013 5-5
2014 2-2
2015 6-0 and finished 4-6! (10-6)
2016 6-6

I actually believe that turtle and hare story applies to our state of mental preparedness. We often get out in front and then let up and that works both on a game scale and season scale. I’m beginning to think just Win the Division and play opening weekend is a best scenario because this game and season is all about momentum.

Yes. Now if you are The Raiders?
you have cause for concern!
As 1-4 is tough hole to dig out of.

Little worried about a big game out of Breece Hall
