Week 8 at KC - Arrowhead Here We Come

[rmontro]

Oh I think we all agree, you play the cards your dealt, and it just is what it is with nothing we can do about it.

I guess to me though, great QBing is still something that you appreciate when you see two of them go head to head.

Well, maybe we can see that in the Super Bowl then.
Better to see it at a neutral site than in Kansas City anyway.

I hate to be the one to sh*t in your cornflakes, but I think its going to be awhile before we see what Dexter Williams can do. Not sure if he isn't understanding the playbook or what the deal is, but the Packers don't seem to trust him enough to play him. Pretty apparent when they activate Tra Carson for a game or 2 and then cut him when Williams is healthy again, that Juice has more to learn to earn playing time.

******** in my cornflakes? wow. Uh, no.

I just said I’d like to see him play. Seems a smart move to activate him and use him, a lot, should we get up on KC early, and shelve Jones & Williams as much as possible. Would save them a bit more from any potential injury, while allowing us to see what our 6th Round pick could bring to the table.

Low risk/high reward.

which position of the 46 do you go light on so you can activate a 3rd string RB in case he might get a chance to play? WR #6, CB #5, OLB #5?

 

[greengold]

Beats me, man...! I just want to see the cat play. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want him in if his pass pro hasn’t improved, but, he WAS active last week and did get two snaps if I’m not mistaken.

Somehow they managed to figure that out last week.

 

[PackAttack12]

Packers inactives:

- WR Davante Adams

- WR Ryan Grant

- CB Ka’dar Hollman

- OL Cole Madison

- OL Adam Pankey

- TE Robert Tonyan

- LB Tim Williams

Savage and Martinez are active.

 

[Mondio]

I imagine when Adams, Tonyan, and Grant are ready and active, DWilliams won’t be anymore

 

[greengold]

Looks like we might see Sternberger... that would be cool. I wonder if they’ll work him out of the slot?

 

[Poppa San]

From NFL
17. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, defensive end Frank Clark, defensive lineman Chris Jones, cornerback Kendall Fuller and offensive linemen Eric Fisher, Andrew Wylie, and Greg Senat are inactive for tonight's game against the Packers.

18. Packers safety Darnell Savage and linebacker Blake Martinez are both active. Wideouts Ryan Grant and Davante Adams, cornerback Ka'dar Hollman, linebacker Tim Williams, guard Cole Madison, tackle Adam Pankey and tight end Robert Tonyan are inactive.

 

[PackinMSP]

I wish Cole Madison the best, but he should just retire now... taking up a roster spot. Wish him the best and all though

Very nice to see Kumerow get some opps tonight, he's looked good

 

[gbgary]

great game plan so far. run is working, small ball setting up the deep pass. several guys getting touches. can't ask for more. 14-0

 

[PackinMSP]

Nice to see Kumerow and Lazard make some nice plays!

Also good to see a RUN from the 1 yard line which we all know MM would never really do

 

[greengold]

I’d like to see GB run more. KC’s D is highly susceptible to the run. More. More. Make those blitzing LBs pay...

 

[adambr2]

While I've been pleasantly surprised with the progress of our offense, the 2019 defense is really starting to disappoint me. The run defense is absolute swiss cheese, and the zone coverage has been atrocious the last month. The pass rush is legitimate, but in every other way they've disappointed on living up to the billing. They're definitely less than the sum of their parts.

 

[PackinMSP]

Well bend but don't break... I think we will see how Pettine adjusts.

But this is my case in point. Not to take ANYTHING away from Mahomes, but it's not like this KC team is devoid of Offensive Talent

Kelce
Hill
Watkins
McCoy

Not exactly an "easy" or UNTALENTED offensive set of weapons here

Pettine will have to adjust

He's had plenty of time to adjust already and has done no such thing. Reid isn't doing anything other than take exactly what Pettine is giving him. Everything underneath is open and has been all game.

 

[PackerfaninCarolina]

Yeah, I'm not sure who to blame the most for the latest defensive debacles. Is it just a lack of the availability of cover LBs/DBs aside from Martinez and Alexander to be able to hunker down on some of these short passes the Chiefs have been utilizing? Or is Mike Pettine just poor at studying opposing offenses and scheming to get his guys in place? Either way, this is why we may still be one year out from going all the way.

 

[gbgary]

Pack need to get back to small ball and quit looking long. eat up the clock. keep kc offense off the field.

 

[Mondio]

It’s a 3 point game. Yes I know mahomes is out, but they are absolutely loaded with playmakers. It’s not like Hundley is trying to with with Geronimo Allison out there.

every week this defense takes lumps and they seem to dial it in.
Right now our offense hasn’t done anything outside of the first 2 drives either

r

This is EXACTLY my point.

This isn't like it's a KC team that doesn't have a bunch of offensive weapons.

This is the BEST current TE in the NFL
With probably the 2 FASTEST WRs in the NFL
And also McCoy by the way

This isn't like some chump offense with crap weapons that you don't have to account for

They have a LOT of good playmakers to defend

 

[PackinMSP]

That touchdown pass to Williams is a classic WTF only Aaron Rodgers can do that throw... not too surprising after all these years

McCoy is well past his prime and was cut in training camp.

Kelce and Hill are great, but no one was sitting here touting the great weapons of the Bills' offense when McCoy and Watkins were in Buffalo.

The only one who looked dialed in on that drive was Matt Moore.

I was.

I actually would have liked the Packers to have drafted Watkins, I would have liked for him to come and replace Jennings

Who was the Bills QB? Tyrod Taylor???

 

[Mondio]

1 score in the second half after a stupid penalty on Williams away from the play. I’d say they did ok.

Agreed, far better in the second half.
