Cobb listed as doubtful, which means he's out.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nelson is still injured despite him being 'FP' for the last couple of days.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

If there is one guy I could see playing despite trainers "suggesting" he doesn't, it's Jordy, especially if Cobb is a no go. Tough call though, risk making the injury worse and extending his time away even longer or because its against an "easier" opponent at home, you make him rest and just line up Adams, Allison and Davis.....oh and I almost forget......got Janis in case of emergency.

 

[mongoosev]

granted jordy is a tough cat, but not worth risking further damage, if he isn't 100%, playing him in this game.

 

[PackerDNA]

I'd rather sit the guys who aren't 100% than risk a setback and lose them for longer, if not the season.

This is where I'm at also. Thinking most people are just on edge comming off a loss but if there's a two week stretch to rest up n get healthy, that doesn't involve a bye week, this is it

 

[PackerfaninCarolina]

I'm thinking this is King's game to shine. Dalton should throw a few balls he can snatch out of the air. I just hope he's not as bad butterfingers as Micah Hyde was.

 

[Arthur Squires]

Tyler Kroft is a talented TE no one knows about. The LB coverage will need to be on point with Bernard and Kroft going to be targeted imo. I'm actually excited to see King cover Green and wouldn't be that surprised if he does excellent. I've said before combine kid would be a star, Sherman type corner by year 3.

 

[swhitset]

I think a lot of people are overlooking this game. With the number of players on that injury list, it will not be an easy win. These are games the Packers need to win. Siting players down to make them healthy for the "important" games doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.

 

[armand34]

Should be able to beat the Bengals w/o those guys. Hope so at least. Should be a big day for #88

 

[I asked LT to delete my acct]

If we lose this game, what's going to be the reaction?

"Relax it's week 3?"
or
"This team is screwed!"

I know most of you are going to take the RELAX option, but I have no patience anymore. Here's hoping we annihilate the bungles.

lmao, don't worry buggybill, nothing but sunshine and rainbows if they lose.

It is HOT in Green Bay, oh man.

 

[Dantés]

I think this game will demonstrate that the Packers have a lot of depth, despite many fans arguing to the contrary.

There aren't many teams who have a competent 3rd tackle like Murphy, or a guy like Brooks to step in at OLB, or two receivers of Adams' and Nelson's caliber despite losing Cobb, or a veteran like RJF to pair with a high draft choice in Adams at the 3T, or a high end athlete like Jones to replace Brice.

Say what you want about TT, but he has a lot of capable players in the 2nd string.

Yes... it is damned HOT... it's hot heat ... the devil is laughing someplace right now...probably someplace in Northeastern Wisconsin. I've been outside since about 7 a.m. trying to do all the jobs around the house that I'm allowed only 2 days to do (come the weekend, I change employers ... during the week, it's a Board of Directors ... on weekends, it's a small blonde woman) - and have changed shirts, socks and shorts 4 times already. Incidentally, I'm hanging Xmas lights so I don't have to in two weeks when it's 20 degrees. Don't think for one second that the irony of this is lost on me.

Oh... we don't need to POUND the Bungles ... we need to score one point more than they do.

Nearly all of those guys listed have barely seen the field. Great 2nd stringers through?

You had me until you said RJF.......didn't we just cut him....no other team signed him.....and we not only resigned him, but now are paying him more money than had we not cut him?

I'm hoping RJF turns out to be a good free agent....times 2......but it doesn't appear like other teams were trying to improve their DL depth by signing him.

I can't explain why he didn't get signed. All I know is who he's been during his career to this point-- a solid, steady rotational DL.

Part of me wonders if maybe they had an agreement with him that they'd bring him back right away? Didn't someone mention that he's double dipping or something, contract wise? I don't know. Pure speculation.

 

[Mondio]

As soon as they cut him and brought up Pankey, that was the first thought in my head. He's already guaranteed his salary being a vet. Probably said take a week off, or a couple till we can get this oline right and we'll bring you back.

Didn't want to cut younger guys because they have to clear waivers. Ricky didn't. Ricky can do whatever he wants.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Think he got another $900,000 vet min. to resign.

 

[Mondio]

Not a bad vacation in the end for Ricky. Not often the pocket book grows after one of those

 

[AmishMafia]

Agreed on RJF. Although not a game changer, he won't cost you a game either. He is also a really good guy that teammates like.

Packers are in for a tough game and Aaron needs to step up, which he will.


Packers 34-27.

King gives up a TD but also gets a big interception at a critical point.

 

[C-Lee]

Game day! 35-14 my final prediction.

 

[yooperpackfan]

My numbers on the board at the local Elk"s Lodge are Packers 6- Bengals 0.
