guys, GB always drafts high picks with the traits that you can't teach, speed, size, etc...watson has traits nobody else has - he's fast as *(&#$ and he's going to be NFL big in a couple years.
I’d be more concerned about Watson’s future had GB taken him in the third round.
@ilcuqui posted:@ByRyanWood: Matt LaFleur is "little bit concerned" about Rashan Gary's toe injury. He likes #Packers OLB depth, but no replacing Gary. "The guy is pretty impactful when he's out on the grass. Certainly he's a guy we want in there, and when he's not in there I think you can feel the affects of that"
Not good ... the two guys we can't afford to have out are Gary & Clark.
Hot take counterpoint: Gary being sidelined forces Barry to create pressure by various blitz packages.
I was wondering if it would mean more 4 man fronts, on passing downs with one ILBer to blitz.
Gary is practicing ...
Christian Watson (hamstring) and Tipa Galeai (hamstring) the only two on the 53 not practicing today.

Three straight days of practice for David Bakhtiari and Elgton Jenkins. A second straight day for Aaron Rodgers and his thumb. And Rashan Gary working, too.
This week and next would make the most sense, have him ready for Buffalo. If that's too soon, skip over that week and the Lions, then have him ready for Dall-ass at home.
LaFleur said there has been consideration for shutting Christian Watson down for some time because of his recurring hamstring injuries.

Interesting take on MLF

You can't be that bad on the road when you have 13-3 and 13-4 finishes. I'm more concerned with shitting the bed at home in the playoffs two straight years.
From packers.com:
The Packers have listed linebacker Rashan Gary (toe) as questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Jets.
Receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) and linebacker Tipa Galeai (hamstring) have been ruled out. Neither player practiced this week.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers (right thumb) did not receive a game status and is expected to play. Rodgers didn't practice on Wednesday but was a full participant on Thursday and Friday.
Gary was added to the injury report on Thursday but continued to practice on Friday, albeit in a limited capacity.

I think some of Watson's problem is Rodgers ignoring him in the passing game since " The Drop", then again there is the hamstring thing. I still have high hopes for him sooner rather than later. Okay Watson haters here is your click bait . 
I learned my lesson in being prematurely critical of Gary. I will give 9 some time, it will take maybe a year or 2 but if he is dedicated, soft tissue stuff and being nfl ready will be fixed up...then, look out because you cannot teach 21mph...

Lol…I’m taking a year off too…trying to get healthy for next season.

Other than AJ Dillon, for the type of offensive talent they have on the roster, they are a better warm-weather team.
Even on defense, they are more of a speed/finesse team than they are a physical team. Kenny Clark is an exception, but they've prioritized speed on defense.
In other words, being on the road wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen to them (assuming they can make the playoffs). They are 5-6 in road playoff games in Rodgers' career and 6-3 at home. However, the 6 losses on the road include the two Arizona games where Rodgers played well, the Bostick Seattle game, and the Kaepernik game.
Obviously, they've lost the last two playoff home games.
@YATittle posted:Speaking of failed draft picks, Kevin King is taking the year off.
Given how many games missed/took off during his 5 stellar seasons in GB, is 2022 all that different than 2017-2021 for King?
@YATittle posted:Speaking of failed draft picks, Kevin King is taking the year off.
So he's taking the advice that Favre gave to a ref many years ago:
"Take a year off and then retire"
I have this feeling the Packers are going to crush the Jets. Like real bad and show no mercy. Sweep the leg.
34 - 9 Packers

That was the guy on the injury report that caught my attention. I hope it’s not the dreaded “Turf Toe”. Those can be nasty and take a while to “heal”.
Personally, Fedya always dreaded the camel toe more.
For this game they promise the secondary will do better.

From packers.com:
The Green Bay Packers elevated WR Juwann Winfree (juh-WANN) from the practice squad to the active roster for gameday and placed LB Tipa Galeai(tee-puh nah-lee-eye) on injured reserve. The transactions were announced Saturday by General Manager Brian Gutekunst.
Jaire talked to Barry on the plane ride home.
Elevation of only Winfree would seem to suggest that Gary may be good to go.
@YATittle posted:Jaire talked to Barry on the plane ride home.
Thanks Jaire (and the other players who took the bull by the horns and met with Barry) ... wish Barry would have recognized it himself and wish the intervention had come from the head coach, but at least someone gives a F about the unacceptable defensive play and was willing to stick their necks out.

How come they don't tell us how to pronounce Gutekunst?

It'll last for a game or two but a leopard cannot change its spots.

I have that "feeling" too, but it doesn't mean much. I "felt" the Packers would kick the shit out of Tampa in the NFCCG, and really "felt" GB learned their lesson that year and would seize home-field advantage and go on a run in the post-season last year.
We'll see what this team is made of. I know it's hard as hell to win in this league and it's early in the season, but if a team ever needed a statement game, this is it. Just not 100% convinced they have it in them. Show us.
I don't make it a point to dig in on the happenings during the week, but in passing I'll see things come over my feed. It seems like this week nearly everything out of GB has been "we need to play better" and "we will turn this around." Which is fine if you show evidence of it on Sunday. This week it felt more like trying to reassure themselves of this. More like a kind of bravado when you've lost to an inferior team and play it off as a one time thing. I expect them to play well this week, especially at home. Even if they play well and it's a tight game, we can at least point to things they said they'd switch up and followed through. If they fall to 3-3 in a home game, every remaining opponent will smell blood. This needs to be the week they choose to start dictating the game to the other team. Otherwise, it may be a long year and every week will feel like the past two weeks. I still think it's 100% within their control. But they need to show up and play 60 minutes of football.
Tennessee just ran a really nice shovel pass for a 2 pt conversation against Alabama. Seems like something we haven’t seen from the Pack in a while. Really looking forward to seeing something new both offense and defense.

34 - 9 Packers
If they run the ball anything is possible, but they haven’t proven that they will.
Historically, the Packers don't play the Jets well at Lambeau.
The last game (2014) the Packers won 31-24 after trailing 21-3 early in the 2nd quarter.
Before that (2006) was a 38-10 loss. To Chad Pennington.
Overall, the Packers are 2-3 @ home vs the Jets.
The Football Database
It just depends on which team shows up this time; the one that can dominate both sides of the ball, or the impotent one that can't score and can't stop the opponent.
The Packers have enough talent to win, especially on defense. Just gotta TCOB.
Ditto for the offense. Less talented than the defense, perhaps, but there's enough to win.

Lately, the Packers don't play anyone well, at Lambeau.
