An NFL forfeit score is 2-0.

Texans look banged up on D. The Packers should have some opportunities in the passing game.

Or as Goldie puts it 0-2 Packers
Rarely do the Packers enter a game as the clearly healthier squad, but that will be the case on Sunday.
The Texans are down their top WR Nico Collins and likely WR Robert Woods, but the real issues for our upcoming opponent are on defense.
Houston will be or likely be down 6 defensive starters; DT Mario Edwards (suspended), DT Folorunso Fatukasi, LB Henry To'oTo'o, LB Azeez Al-Shaair (big loss), CB Kamari Lassiter, and S Jimmie Ward.
I expect the Packer offense to have a productive day both on the ground and through the air.
However, Joe Mixon is a very good RB. Meanwhile, CJ Stroud is an excellent young QB and he still has Diggs and Tank Dell at WR. TE Dalton Schultz has struggled, but the Pack are bottom 5 covering TEs so that will be a matchup worth watching.
If McManus can be a legitimate NFL kicker and the defense does not give up 30+ points (as it has in the 2 losses this season), the Pack should get to 5-2.
Why do I feel like Packers will make a bunch of mistakes (Penalties & Turnovers) & have plenty of opportunities to win this game yet still lose it?
26-24 Texans.
Texans guy on crossover Thursday says 28-14 Texans.

I must step forward, it was me, I hacked his account 🤣
Packers look to be much healthier than the Texans for this week.
Regarding Peter's point below, this may be Hafley realizing that Evan Williams needs to stay on the field as DB in whatever package of safeties they can draw up.
Very interested to see the situation with Carrington Valentine on Sunday. Went from out-snapping Eric Stokes to what looked like a healthy scratch. But Stokes is struggling https://t.co/X77CsI3Qka

Supposed to be plenty warm and sunny in GB for Sundays game, not Texas hot, but more like a WI summer day. High around 78, maybe around 72 at game time.
Is this like all of those years Packer fans on us getting Joe Thomas?
I swear to God it took Thomas retiring before some fans let that go lmao.
I'd love to see either of those dudes in a Packer uniform, especially Garrett.
Azeez Al-Shaair is not practicing. Neither is Henry To’oTo’o.

Neville Hewitt and Jake Hansen are up at linebacker this week. I like to call them the Linebackerups. #Texans
Foley Fatukasi, dealing with a shoulder injury, returned to practice. #Texans could have one of their two starters at DT. They’ll need to replace Mario Edwards who was suspended this week.

The Texans may not win the Owl this season, but they have some names made for John Facenda
Matt LaFleur on the kicking operation with Brandon McManus:

“Nothing like finding out in the game, but I feel confident in it.”
LaFleur says Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder) will be questionable. He left last Sunday’s game and didn’t return but practiced every day this week.

It seems like a year or so ago, there was a sudden proliferation of "websites", that "share insights" on teams, apparently with wild-ass speculation as the root of this "information".
Fansided and Lombardi Ave are two of the worst that come to mind.
Not to say that DMP's link is the same, but at face value, it makes little sense.
I might agree that Garrett would make more sense that Newsome, given the perceived need, but both players? And both players with current or recent injuries?
Some idot at ESPN said To'o To'o would make 10 solo tackles. Hell, he has been ruled out for the game.

I'm fucking traumatized from the last year and a half....and that's the best you got MLF?!?!!??
"Find out during the game" WTAF?!
🖕🏼🤬🖕🏼
Why do I feel like the Packers should absolutely destroy this team like 44-10, but I know they're going to play down to their competition and the Texans will play over their heads?
WHY?!?!
I think what MLF is saying is that "we had two young guys here who had the leg, were coachable, did well in practice, but then choked in games.....even though this guy has proven to be good in games, I'm not proclaiming our kicking game fixed until it actually happens".
I got GB by 14 in this game. Houston is 5-1 but take a look at who they've played.
31 -17 Pack.

True, but same could be said about our Packers.
Both got whooped by MIN, though GB ended up making it close.
HOU beat BUF, GB destroyed ARI.
I'm with you though, I think GB wins by double digits. HOU is missing some key pieces.

Nice to see somebody else remembers that ad campaign.
34:15 for the Packers Texans preview and Belicheck's reverence for Green Bay
Belichick has always had mad respect for the Packers. No cheating....no pumping in sound to the stadium. No electronically jamming opposing headsets....just line up & play and may the best team win. It's a beautiful thing.....
Moving on.....
I asked Matt LaFleur about inviting variance on both sides of the ball and he mentioned how much one explosive play can increase scoring chances.
— Peter Bukowski (@Peter_Bukowski) October 18, 2024
Same is true on the defensive side. One sack cuts the average scoring chance by more than 3X! https://t.co/QO3J6eBzW9
