It's Chefs week(s)!

Z most definitely has major incentive to come back ASAP and prove he's the same dude he was before the surgery. At almost 30, back injuries with surgery would scare most teams including GB.

I also wonder if he was told in summer he needed surgery, he refused, tried playing with it and now here we are. In some ways that might have pissed off the Packers because if that is the case, he could have had it and already been back and playing.

Even if he returns to form, I do not see GB extending him. At least not the contract he wants. I think Gary is really developing into what they envisioned and they'll spend a 1st/2nd round pick on a pass rusher. Cheaper, younger option with much more upside.     

Agree, he wasn't as good last year and Donavan Smith totally locked him up in the NFCC .... I don't see us resigning him.

He wasn’t at practice yesterday IIRC

With all our injuries, I am not sure how to predict this game. Still, it looks like the Chiefs are not playing as well as they have in the past.

Plus, I'm not accustomed to a Packer defense that overachieves rather than underachieves, so it's that much harder to predict.  But if the trend becomes the norm, this could range from a close fought game to a defining blowout win.

Provided for the historical record:

@RobDemovsky:  Aaron Rodgers on @PatMcAfeeShow, in advance of the trade deadline, said there's been "great communication" and he has "enjoyed the conversations with Brian (Gutekunst) that we've had. ... Made some moves already that have been great." Mentioned Rasul Douglas and Whitney Mercilus.

Added that there's been "opportunity to add to the roster, but I like the roster the way it was, especially with the guys we have coming back."

It's amazing what communication and respect can do.

I wonder what precipitated this breakthrough? 

I don't know.  It's a beautiful mystery.

You guys are cute.

Why try to predict whats going to happen in a game? Just grab whatever beverage you like, turn on the TV and watch. Whatever happens, happens. You have no control anyway.

GBFan, there are some guys in trenchcoats from Vegas who would like to have a word with you.

Hate to see anybody lose their job, but… about time, IMO

@MattScheidmann: The Packers are releasing long snapper Hunter Bradley and giving practice squad long snapper Steven Wirtel the job, sources tell The Athletic.

Thank god.

When they made the trade for Bojorquez, they signed Wirtel to the PS the same week. Their shared practice time in LA this summer might have contributed to that.

Wirtel spent time with the Detroit Lions as an undrafted rookie out of Iowa State in 2020. He was with the Los Angeles Rams this past offseason, so he’ll have familiarity with Packers punter Corey Bojorquez.

I rarely look at Power Rankings but Packers in the headline got my click.

See who is #1 and who fell to 3 and 5...

If Wirtl has some Lazard work ethic in him this will be a good move.

He's also not Hunter Bradley so by definition this is a good move.

The Rams at #6? That's just dumb.

Guy could stand a trip to the dentist for a teeth cleaning. 

The rest of the division is 19, 24, and 31.

I think I feel a tear welling up in my eye

I miss Bart Starr

It just occurred to me, Packers cutting Jaylon Smith most likely means Za'Darius Smith is back to practice and he is on track to playing again in next few weeks.

BREAKING NEWS:

Packers are trading JLove and Jaire to Tampa Bay for Tom Brady.

See? I can say stupid shit too. Cool it guys.

Both his ST picks from the '18 draft are now gone.

67 and sunny for game day.

AROD out vs Chiefs    wtmj news

Rogers Out.

Rodgers has Covid

Sources: #Packers QB Aaron Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19 and is out for Sunday’s game against the #Chiefs.

It's the Jordan Love show!!

Doesn't Kurt have it as well? Or did?

I heard yes

Benkert and Rodgers have both tested positive

GB will need to bring in another QB (assuming Love doesn't have it either). 

#Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is unvaccinated, per me and @MikeGarafolo. That’s why he’s out for Sunday vs. the #Chiefs.

Not vaccinated? DUMBASS! So much for being "invested entirely in this season"

I thought AR said earlier this season that he is vaccinated. Not that it would obviously prevent him from getting it🤪, but why is he OUT and not subjected to the 2 negative tests thing in 24 hours?
