Update on Corey..



Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that the injury is believed to be an MCL sprain and that an MRI on Monday will provide further information about Linsley’s condition.

Right guard Lucas Patrick left later in the game with a toe injury. The Packers moved right tackle Billy Turner inside with Rick Wagner taking over at tackle.

I don't see a need to rush him back at all. The OL functions just as well, if not better, when he is out.
ARod may have a 'comfort level' with him, and if he wants him back ASAP, so be it. Otherwise, let him heal and be depth.

#Packers C Corey Linsley is expected to miss 3-6 weeks because of the sprained MCL he suffered last night against the #Bears, source said. A big loss, but should be back before the playoffs.

Eagles are not going to lay down for us .... their defense played with a ton of energy last night. Let's hope Patrick can play, Turner has had trouble anchoring against guys like Cox. Key on offense will be pass protection if they defend us like they did Seattle. Press man coverage will be hard to defend crossing routes, but have to have time for them to develop

On paper the Packers should handle the Eagles pretty well but I worry about this one a lot.  It just feels like Jags version 2 and the Eagles still have a good chance at their division so they are going to be playing hard. 

Wentz was terrible last night. So bad that Hurts could get the starting gig this week. Keep in mind they played the Seahags who have the worst passing D in the NFL. Despite that, the Eagles managed 9 points and only added a garbage TD at the end of the game.

This should look like the Bears game. If the Packers build an early lead, the game is over.

Yes, the Eagles have a very good defensive front. But their QB situation rivals Tribisky and co. Which is saying a lot. 

I worry about every game, we play. There always seems to be a weak spot that could be exploited by an opposing QB. This year, it seems to be our run defense. Maybe our soft coverage pass defense that leaves big areas for a QB and a receiver to exploit, on any given play. If Rodgers doesn't have a good day, this may be a close game. I think that Wentz, and company, will not have a great day, due to our DL creating havoc, up front. I think our CBs will create turnovers, as well. GO PACK, GO!!!

Wentz and the Eagles gave the Pack their only loss at Lambeau in 2019 scoring 34 points.  They’re not as good as last year, but I expect the Eagles to play more confidently knowing they had success against us at Lambeau just 1 year ago.

That right there worries me.  Why? the game I think is the game of the week and it always seems like someone on the other team has the game of their lives against the Packers in the spot light.  Like I said a few weeks ago I still am not over Brad Hoover and that has been like 15 years.

When you look at the Eagles this year on paper they aren’t as bad as their record would indicate.  Defensively,  they generate a decent pass rush and get sacks.  Their issue is they allow a lot of rush yardage and have not generated a lot of turnovers.   Sound familiar?

The Eagles are -10 in turnover ratio for third quarter worst in the league.  Look at the bottom third of that list BTW.  Mostly bad teams.  

If nothing else Austin is a pretty good return guy.  He’s had health issues and has been inconsistent throughout his career but has elite speed and quickness.   Given the injury status of Ervin I would think he slides into that role and could have a pretty decent impact.  

Thus far, he looks like a really good day 3 find.



In reference to the Tavon Austin 98 yard return, do yourself a favor and google the video.  He waves everyone off then scoops it up and goes 98.   Can’t believe I don’t remember it.  Incredible
