Per Bakh yesterday via AM1250 The Fan regarding his injury “It’s not season ending. I’ll be out there as soon as I’m ready”. Would not give a time frame.

Pure guess: If they feel they can win at the Texans and at home against the Queens without him, it would make sense to bring him back at SF.

ImageIf you're in the purplish area, you'll see the Packers take on the Texans at noon CT on Sunday

FOX will broadcast the game to a national audience. Play-by-play man Kenny Albert joins analyst Jonathan Vilma with Shannon Spake reporting from the sidelines.

PFT still has a forum? I used to post there years ago before they got bought by NBC. That was back when Florio used to respond to emails directly also...he was easy to rile up by shit talking the Vikings.

Thanks for the welcomes!

Yeah, PFT is quite interesting. Very biased against the Packers and comments only post after Florio's people have checked them to make sure they don't go too far against the PFT(Florio's) agendas. One troll posting 900 times a day on 200 different names. Florio is most likely involved in that as well. Florio is a weasel, a failed former lawyer, and in NO WAY a journalist.

This Texans game is a important W. Minnie won't be a cake walk win and then it's out to San Fran on a short week. I am not all that confident the Packers get the W in San Fran. Important to be 5-1 after this week.✊

Yeah I remember it used to be heavy Vikings and Bears fans and shit on the Packers constantly. I remember telling Florio after the 8-8 2006 season that the Packers were going to dominate the division with MM and grab another SB and he straight up told me I was an idiot...Favre was washed up, Rodgers was a Tedford QB, no receivers, etc. 🤣

Texans rank 32nd in the NFL against the run.

Their defense stinks.

Pack should be able to put up a lot of points.

But Watson has some weapons at WR so this looks to be another shootout.

Got to think the seat is getting pretty warm under Pettine and am interested to see how his unit performs on Sunday.

Last week @packerboi mentioned betting the over. I said I liked the UNDER. O/U went from 52 to 55 -- total score? 48.

This week. I'm betting the over (57) It's locked in. Basically Vegas can't make the line high enough

Texans probably not as bad as their record. They've lost 4 games against the top teams in the NFL : Chiefs(5-1) , Ravens(5-1), Steelers(5-0), Titans (5-0) ...that's a tough schedule....and now they play the 4-1 Green Bay Packers.

I think the Packers lose this week too. I don’t think the defense has hit bottom yet. I don’t think the offense has recovered from the ass whoopin they endured last week. Those kinds of shellackings have a hangover effect, and their confidence sure look shook after the game.

Part of learning how to win is learning how to handle a loss. Would love to be wrong of course, but I’ve seen this movie before...

I must have been asleep in the part of the movie where the Packers lost two games in a row under LaFleur.

Linsley added to injury report

I can't doom-and-gloom yet, but if there is anything that can neuter our offense, it would be OL woes.
I have confidence in Patrick, Runyan, and Wagner to get the job done until I see otherwise, but defending the likes of JJW is a tall order even for the better OL-men around the league.

That’s fair- but football has been football for a long time. I’m hopeful that a hangover isn’t coming, which is how I felt after the game. But man... they’re really beat up and the talk of a bad week of practice leading into the game makes me think there’s something wrong that a week isn’t going to solve.

If Bak can't go I expect to see Jenkins at LT

I think Jenkins is good enough to handle LT.  Hell, his performance out there might give the Packers some options moving forward in FA regarding Bak.

Similar to the Failcons the Texans have talent and are probably better than their record indicates.   The Packers need to come out and set the tone from the beginning and not let up.  Don’t give Houston any reason to think they can win.

Rest him and give the carries to Dillon.

The concern would be how limited Dillon might be in the passing game, both in running patters out of the backfield and in picking up the blitz. Obviously, given his size he should be physically very capable of picking up a blitzing LB, it's just whether he knows the audibles, etc.

The Packers weakness on offense (assuming Rodgers gets a normal about of time to throw) is that the non-Adams receivers don't consistently stretch the field. Putting Jones out wide helps overcome some of that. Without him, those safeties and LBs are maybe a step or two closer to the LOS. Dillon may be tough to bring down, but not as much if they are stacking the LOS.

I like Kevin King's play- when he plays. It's looking like he's just not up to the rigors of the NFL game. I had him down as one of the 3 FA we needed to keep. But if he's only available 50% of the time...
