I wondered (aka hoped) if that was the plan for Watson.
Does Watson qualify for come back player of the year yet?
While I like your thinking, if he did not last year, he won't this year.

I think that invalidates the urine test.

Do they determine that percentage before or after the running backs have passed the front four on their way to the defensive backs.
Ve ah fakt...he can't even prepare for one offense.

They might not notice if the cup doesn't start to fog up.

Unless he uses the Whizzenator.

Sorry guys, was I little testy. I worked late yesterday and missed dinner. Got a bit hangry.
We all have our moments. I try to be generous with kindness to any post after 11:00 PM or within 24 hours of a Packers loss. Sometimes you just have to blow off some steam. Definitely had a couple mornings over the years where I regretted hitting that post button...

My grandson Adam would say in his younger days everything would be alright if he could just go to the "Nugget Farm" for something to eat. His words, he made it up. So maybe we should all take a page from Adam's book and meet there for some nuggets. Of course it wouldn't do anything for our health - but according to him, we would feel better. So do we listen to the kid or the doctor?
Ezra Johnson? Somebody set up a hot dog stand.
Majik Man! Awesome.
George Cumby. He should bring the Fridge with him 😁🤭
It will be good to see this young team finally play at home - they showed out very well on the road, which has been a past concern under LaFleur.
The run game on both sides of the ball is very concerning. On the offense side, part of it is moving parts on the OL and getting the rookie TE's up to speed with their technique. Not having A. Jones in the backfield doesn't help. But that will hopefully improve in the next few weeks. On the defense side, the Packers are kind of stuck. They don't have enough pluggers for a good rotation and Kenny Clark is being forced to play too many snaps. Brooks and Wooden are great pass rusher types but cannot hold up at the point of attack.

“When you use a guy as a tight end, if you report eligible, the next play you have to be eligible or you have to come out,” said Stenavich. “So that’s why Yosh would stay in and Rasheed would come in after.”
Expect to see more of that vs. Saints and maybe even a pass to the eligible player (Goalline play😁)
After listening to Mike Wahle on Herman's podcast this morning, I don't think we are going to be able to run inside the tackles vs. the Saints base defense. MLF may have to open things up with Love more to generate offense this week.
Most "exspurts" are saying this will be the toughest defense the Packers face all year long. At least in the regular season anyway.
I got Packers scoring 30 🤯 (if Jones plays entire game) maybe 27
Hopefully Gary, Kenny and company hit Derek Carr so hard that David Carr will feel it. The RBs for the Saints will be Troy Jones and Kendre Miller in his first NFL game. Jaire needs to slow Olave down and get his mojo back. Nice to see the Lombardi Packers that remain, Dave Robinson is a gem of a person. Going to be a fun win this week!

Agreed. The team that imposes their will in the run game is the team that will win this one. The Packers will hopefully get something from Jones and a shuffled OL to get enough run game to open some play action to keep the defense honest.
As for the Packers defense, IMHO until they prove they can stop the run and play aggressive defense I think the defensive side of the ball will continue to be their achilles heal. Its going to be a test this week for this defense with both this game and hopefully they aren't looking ahead to the Lions.
What's the weather prediction for Sunday?
Dylan Dreyer just told me wind and storms for the area.

The Packers were the first team to have an alumni only suite:
Friday practice:
@AndyHermanNFL: Not warming up with the team & with the rehab group:
David Bakhtiari
Elgton Jenkins
Zayne Anderson
Innis Gaines (p/s)
Luke Tenuta (IR)
Eric Stokes (PUP)
Watson and Jones warmed up & looked ready to practice. Both had helmets & went outdoors with the team.
Reminder we only have access to warmups on Fridays.
Update: Aaron Jones came right back in after going out. He’s currently stretching with a trainer while the team is practicing.
Pure guess. Thinking these 2 play on Sunday. Bakh does not, they wait until Thursday and a division game against DET. Then he gets extended time off until 10/09 against the Raiders
We’re only allowed to watch indoor team stretch on Fridays. Christian Watson had a helmet on and went outside for practice. Aaron Jones was still getting stretched out inside as we left, but he had a helmet with a guardian cap on it with him, indicating he’ll practice.

I'll be there Sunday.
Bart Scott me. CAN'T WAIT!!
Gonna try to get to Oshkosh before the Iowa/Penn State game starts Saturday.
I wonder if Ron Hallstrom still has some in the tank to play on the O line?

That's a lot of plane tickets. I wonder if they fly 1st class?
Aaron Jones, Christian Watson, David Bakhtiari, Jaire Alexander (back) & Lukas Van Ness are all questionable for Sunday, per Matt LaFleur.

Hopefully Jaire plays and redeems himself for last week.

Any word on who will be active on Sunday?
Good news on Jenkins..
Elgton Jenkins told ESPN that at this point he doesn’t believe that he will go on injured reserve.

Sprained MCLs can have varying return times but this means he could be back in fewer than 4 weeks.
He wasn’t wearing the knee brace today in the locker room.
