Weather: 70 degrees, clear skies, low humidity.

If there is even the slightest chance of these guys getting hurt because the field is ****ed up, why even play?
Getting wicked flashbacks to the HOF game. https://t.co/0iTFTg2pMb

pre game just started on the radio station
none of the Raiders 1st stringers are playing
north end zone around the goal post a little mushy
game might be cancelled ?????
Even for the Darius Sheppards, Alan Lazards, Keke, etc who are fighting to make the 53, it's not worth risking their ACL's on a shit field either. I really hope not a single starter for GB is playing tonight.

The NFL really needs to pull it's head of it's ass...
Here's the thing: this #Packers preseason game has been scheduled in Canada for months. How are we just now wondering whether the patches of turf left behind after removing the CFL goal posts is worth investigating? That seems, I don't know, predictable?

First of all, it's stupid to be playing NFL games outside of legit NFL stadiums to begin with. But not having the field ready to play, preseason or not? Unacceptable.

They can play half field.
If Kizer is playing, don't have to worry about the endzone.
good one
GBFanForLife posted:If Kizer is playing, don't have to worry about the endzone.
That depends
1 hour and 13 minutes to kickoff and they are still gluing down the turf in the endzone.
LMAO, they are literally gluing the field down..
According to @JimOwczarski, who is at IG Field in Winnipeg, there were concerns about the patches in each end zone covering the spots where the CFL goal posts were. They have glued the patches to help them stay in place and it takes 30 minutes to dry, according to Jim. ....

... The issues are in both end zones, according to @JimOwczarski. However, the teams are out on the field warming up and the 90 minute clock is running on the scoreboard. No word on Aaron Rodgers' status yet.

I wonder how much they pay those 2 guys to stand on the boards to hold the turf down and wait for the glue to dry. I could handle a job like that.
If the field is not good enough, maybe we can use the same argument to not play at soldier field this year.
game will be played, possibly on a shortened field, last field update 6;03pm.
ALL Packer starters OUT
80 yard field
My first thought was it was an overreaction because it’s football and often the game has been played on crappy fields in the past. Yet, I was reminded of Jordys injury in a meaningless game a few years back.
But this isn't really a game.
I’m here people...... and I love the stash on my man.
Rodgers and the starters are in full uniform. UGH
The plan was for QB1 to play, the GM said. We’ll see how long. https://t.co/qg69yHnD0v

and I do like James Lofton....just saying he’s got a different perspective and I like it.
BUT,BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP CLOSE TO THE VIKINGS IN THE NFC NORTH STANDINGS!!!!! IT"S THAT IMPORTANT!! COME ON GUYS!!!!
Crowd of 9,000 expected to watch a glorified scrimmage on a partial field.
Other than that Goodell you ****ing nailed everything you global grabbin' mogul.
The last game James Lofton said Tramon Williams hasn't lost any speed.
That's a lot of emotion.
How can you even throw backups out there?

The starting price for tickets was $100, for a lousy preseason game. Good way to sell the NFL to Canadian fans.
Somehow Antonio Brown is going to launch himself headfirst or trip over that patch of Canadian turfglue with his league authorized helmet and immediately call for a backboard.
Its like the realms have perfectly aligned. Injury. Negligence. New helmet. Free health care.
and love the cheese heads in the crowd......
For fu** sakes.
The fact that Gutey can stick his foot *into* the turf is a major concern I would think #TurfGate2 https://t.co/L2gFxKVEFH

Shortened field and no starters playing.
WHAT THE HELL ARE THE PACKERS REALLY DOING THERE???? Ugh.
The Macarena, of course.
Jebus ****.q
We should have never freed Canada from Communism.
Commies know how to prepare a sporting venue.
I know the NFL wants to expand outside of our borders, but they have to be better than this. It astonishing that the league wouldn't make sure the playing surface is up to standards for a game.

Anyone got a stream I want to see this train wreck
LOL... not even doing kickoffs.

Excellent..... 
An 80 yard field?? They should just play a 40 minute game.
Boyle already slipping on that field, lucky he didn't tear an ACL.
Jeebus.

I’m baffled how either team let any players on this field.
This is an embarrassment for the NFL.
so our QB gets no preseason snaps after new HC and OC?
WolfPack posted:so our QB gets no preseason snaps after new HC and OC?
Would you actually send Rodgers out on that field to take snaps?
The reddit stream is working well, but Beth Mowens...ugh!
Is a stream possible with a different announcer, or are they all going to be the same feed?
Trevor Davis is one fast Mo' Fo'.
Time to buy Canada.

Packer's network
I do enjoy Lofton as an announcer and I love the local commercials!
T2P,
Thank you!
Even the jerseys are Canadian.
Shoulda played this game in Greenland. Kinda frozen tundra. helps the asking price. Still free health care.
The Packers could really use free health care.
Josh Jackson looks good tonight. That's good to see since he was out most of TC.
Boyle and Kizer with continued batted ball issues.
What a maple-covered $hit Show
Carson is Brandon Jackson.
Canada better say sorry after this game
Ooof horrible pass by Boyle.
EDIT: Might have been a terrible route by the WR
Can't say ST is any better.
Boyle isn't accurate. Nothing else to say. No idea how Kizer had the 2 spot locked up to the point the staff has seen enough and he's on the bench.
Why is this game even being played? This is complete batshitery.
there is first injury Lancaster # 95 but he is walking off the field
Looks like the Packers dodged a bullet with Lancaster, but for God sakes get anyone you expect to make the 53 off the damn field.
It just highlights that the NFL doesn’t care about the players.
If they did they would have ensured the field was where it needed to be weeks ago. Shit. A day ago.
If they wanted to even pretend they cared they would have canceled this travesty.
And now another bullet with Gary going down...
Really LaFleur, get these potential starters the fukk off the field. 
This game is a ****ing mockery
If I owned the Packers I would have walked off the field
Best football players in the world and “protect the shield” image bullshit and they let this slide?
Just eliminate preseason already
Should pull the whole team and go home. This is insane.
Every team in the NFL has a more serviceable backup QB than the Packers.
packerboi posted:And now another bullet with Gary going down...

I thought the consensus was that Gary was already a bust.
Way too many penalties...every week so far
Carson is a poor man's brandon jackson.
I’ve seen plenty of HS football fields that are in much better condition.
NFLFU
Get Mark Cuban on the phone

Chongo posted:Every team in the NFL has a more serviceable backup QB than the Packers.
Trace McSorley was taken in the 6th Rd by the Ravens and he already looks 10x better than either Kizer or Boyle.
Every flag thrown by an NFL Ref for an "infraction" on this greasy ACL killing turf trap is the highest level of irony Goddell has ever achieved. .
1st qtr observations:
Rush defense looks MUCH better.
Gary still not getting results.
Carson has ran well.
Davis is playing hard.
Oh, and that's a horsechit field.
NFLFU!
After we beat da bears with defense.
Gary JFC
do something anything
Timpranillo posted:Should pull the whole team and go home. This is insane.
Honestly, MLF should just google for the nearest bar, take his team out and order some rounds and give the NFLFU the 1 fingered salute as he walks off the field.
TD Davis!!! Wow he looks great!

You gotta be shitting me man? Did you see the play? A WR ran a crossing route and bumped into Gary. He's fine.

Let's put it this way.
If he did manage to get injured on that play....he's a delicate flower.
Trevor Davis has had a very nice game. Now get him the hell off the field..
Davis has really good, if not great, hands. Kinda Jordy-like.
Now if he could only run routes like JN87....
Pretty good drive by Boyle and the O.
PackerPatrick posted:ChilliJon posted:Why is this game even being played? This is complete batshitery.

This game's tackling is just a tiny bit better than the first 2 weeks.
(so far)
I don't care what string you are, you have two arms, they have two legs, try to get them both, but at least get one and hope for help.
