2023 Green Bay Packers at Atlanta Falcons Official Game Thread

David Bakhtiari, Aaron Jones and Christian Watson are all inactive.

FUCK THAT TURF!  FTT

Get rest boys

Here’s the complete inactive list:

A bit of a disadvantage.

Next man up BITCHES!😜

Cynthia on NFL N predicts a 1 point victory for ATL.

Any way you cut it, Jordan Love with his number 1: LT, RB and WR, on the road? That's a hell of a challenge.

Let's go #10!

If Bahktiari is going to miss all non-grass games, trade him while he has value.

@TomSilverstein: So, expectation is that Rasheed Walker will start at left tackle for Bakhtiari. Walker started through the last part of training camp and looked solid. Now we'll find out whether he can do it for real. Expect another rookie, RB Emanuel Wilson to log a good number of snaps also.

If he refuses to play on turf, he won't practice, and can't make it to play 2 games in a row, his trade value is shit.

If someone will take his contract, that is a plus

Gary had an ACL last November and he’s playing today.

Re Packers’ inactives today, especially 69:

it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Packers have 3 games in 12 days starting today.

You know Bakh will be out there when and if it’s crunch time

Well, I hope the Super Bowl is on grass

I guess some games don’t count

Start him and leave him there. Bahk can back him up.

Let’s go!!

What value?

I'm guessing if Rodgers doesn't get hurt, Bahktiari probably plays. His plans of going to New York next year probably went up in smoke when Rodgers went down. They're besties, and if there's a way to screw Gutey they'll do it plus it's a contract year.

Find out if Walker can play and if he can, I'd get him more PT.

Patrick Taylor was elevated to the roster yesterday. Has E Wilson been activated as well? It would certainly be interesting to see him get some playing time.

Disagree

He's not inactive. So yes he's activated.

Wilson is already on the 53. Was inactive last week. Not so today

I'm more worried about him

Well, it will backfire. Walker can play.

Especially with his contract.  Great player... great dude.  But it was probably time to move on from him this past off season.

Yes, he's active.

Bakhtiari is the best pass blocking LT in the league. You don’t bench him for anybody, especially a second year tackle making his first start today

DB has trade value...LT is too valuable of a position in the league - he is one of the best when he plays...could be a way for him to get more $$$.

GL hates veteran HOF type football players.

For half the games he’s a great pass blocker. For the other half? 👎🏿Watch Walker today. He’ll block the shit out of these guys. Time to get younger NOW!

Anxious to see how we pressure Ritter, today.

Nope. Pack did not have the cap room to do that.  Rodgers made sure of that.

I don’t like this injury report and inactive players. Yet I am glad that Walker is available. I think that we will have to rely more on Love than I like.

Jordan Love disagrees with you.
