I hate the sh!itpigeons, I hate their bandwagon fans, and I hate their gum chomping coach. The outcome of this game sets the tone for the rest of the season.
You need to post a lot more often!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Add me to the TNF sucks chorus. If Goodell understood the value of scarcity he would understand his ratings crisis.

I love Cobb but it’s time to move on. Hoping I can see one more gem of a game from him.

Fake news
That's a popular narrative peddled by a certain (orange) political figure. That it has no basis in fact really doesn't seem to matter.

I think Glass Joe from MIke Tyson's punchout is more durable than Cobb, King, and Perry.

Sheeple.....

I agree. Other than the 1st game of the season, where he showed up big time against Chicago, he hasn't done much in any of the other games he has played in. That 1st game gave skeptics reason to doubt their Cobb mindset that he was finished as a Packer, though. He went 9-10 receiving for 142 yards and 1 TD. That's 15.78 yards average per catch with his longest of the day being a 75 yarder. His ability to catch the ball in tight coverage and in situations where we needed to move the chains was one reason, IMO, that Gute was okay with letting Jordy go. Now MVS and ESB are stepping up as rookies and are matching Cobb's reliability in the crossing routes, deep routes and slants. If Kumerow ever gets to play, I think Randall Cobb will be expendable. I hate to say that, but this is the NFL. I love Cobb as a Packer and have to think that his injury is much more severe than he has let on.

They must be too high? Might drive up the price of the next TV deal and thus inflate players salaries even more. Oh, the horror.
PackerHawk posted:I think if they insist on continuing Thursday games that they should all follow bye weeks. At the very least for the visiting team. In that case the home team should have a home game the prior week.
I think if the league wants to have football on a three days a week basis in the regular season, they will have to allow 80 players to be on every team's rosters. The injuries sustained on a per game basis will not allow any team to field a healthy team, ever--and that is when they only play on Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays. Expand the rosters to 80 and maybe they can play their games every night, as I think Goodell and Company want. That way there will be true parity amongst teams as all the good, exciting players will be injured by game three and replaced by the less talented players most bad teams have as starters now. It will be a Hundley-Barclay paradise and it will suck.

Add Bulaga to that mix.
If there is no Thursday night football, what am I going to use as an excuse to drink beer and ignore my kids?
Give Bulaga a break. He's just wearing down at this point in his career.

MM just gave him 15 runs and 5 targets, that’s on par with what guys like Kareem Hunt and Alvin Kamara get. Even horses like Zeke Elliott only get around 24 total runs/targets per game. It’s also consistent with what MM has done when he’s had a lead back like Eddie Lacy and Ryan Grant.
Thanks Ammo. I'm more of reader than a poster. Unless I'm drinking Manhattans. You know what they say, "manhattans are like tit$, ones not enough and threes too many."
I think we can say "tits' here...
We just can't say "Vikin*s"......we have standards.

BUT will we see that this week?

You've been witnessed carousing with Henry, Mr. Standards. 
The problem with Cobb is that he's too rough for his size. I really like Cobb, but I agree it's time to move on. 
I agree that Cobb probably takes too many shots and needs to be smarter. He's a savvy veteran though, I'd like to see him back just not at his current price. The Patriots gave Danny Amendola basically 16 million over 5 years in 2013, I think that's more realistic for what I would pay Cobb.
I was surprised they brought Cobb back for 2018. I thought they were going to keep Jordy and release Cobb. He's really been a pretty average player from 2015 through 2017 - averaging around 10 yards per catch on ~70 catches per year from the slot. 2014 was his only 1,000 yard season. I like Cobb as a leader and veteran locker room presence but the numbers just don't support his salary. Even $5m seems high for what he's brought to the team this year.

I think the difference was that even if Jordy was healthy, he was no longer capable of consistently playing at the level of a starting NFL WR. He had turned into James Jones circa 2015 - a minimum-salary level backup, possession receiver.
Cobb is 5 years younger than Jordy (he's only 28 right now). They probably thought that when healthy, Cobb is still capable of making plays consistently. The problem is he can't stay healthy.
Cobb will probably sign a contract with the Browns next year and alternate between being an above average slot receiver and being inactive due to injury.

I'll have you know, the standard for my lack of standards is exceptionally high.
I see the Packer defense putting lots of pressure on Wilson, then Wilson squirting free & rushing for about 100 yards & probably 2 rushing TD's. Seattle - Probably 150-200 yds rushing as a team.
It'll be on the packer offense to overcome that deficiency because the Packer defense while playing well at times, still sucks at tackling
Gotta use Matthews as a spy. He's not good at anything else anyway. Keep him in the middle, mirroring Russell.
Why? So Clay can tackle the QB while the QB is holding the ball & get another "roughing" penalty?!?! NFL
When he's downfield, unless he's sliding, I think Clay is safe.
Expect to see Seattle running a load of read option against GB on a short week with Perry on the shelf forcing Gilbert to make business decisions on the fly. Got to maintain the edge tonight and Burks/Martinez have to be good.
Martinez is questionable. Huge miss if he can’t go tonight. He’d be good to go on Sunday.
And **** Thursday night football.

There is more to the problem than health. His size makes his quickness all the more important. He isn't making the sideline plays like Nelson could with his catch radius, he isn't boxing anyone out, and he isn't wining a jump ball. All he has is his shiftiness and his brain. The wiggle isn't what it used to be.
sh!tpigeons. I think Seattle, is about as vulnerable as they ever have been, the Rams beat the u know what out of them, and the Rams wanted more after the horn blew. As a junior, unranked, amateur prognosticator I wouldn't mind seeing GB with about 50 rushing attempts, and run those sh!tpigeons right into the Puget Sound. Something that would make Tecumseh Sherman proud.

He had a good hit on Dolphin QB what’s-his-name last weekend that was completely legal but would have drawn a flag had it happened in the first few weeks of the season. I guess the NFL realized what a mess it had created and quietly told the refs to back off.
