Packers should have voted him a "Gameday Captain " of the medical staff just for this game.
@EC Pack posted:Me either. There's some fancy way to delay the radio broadcast but waaaay too technical for me.
I used to do this before they shut down the local Packers AM affiliate here. You pretty much had to spend the first few minutes of the game finagling the delay properly (seemed to always change a bit) but once you got it it was awesome.
That said I remember back in the day (when Irwin and McGee were announcers) you didn't need any of that because the delays on TV and radio were always the same. That's how I always watched the games in the 80's and 90's. TV muted, listen to radio broadcast.

I audio taped the entire Super Bowl on cassette tape back in 1996 on TMJ. Commercials and all. Haven’t listed in probably 15 years. Need a cassette player!
I’m a loser, I know.
@PackerHawk posted:Vikings didn't make him a captain either. On to the next team in 2023!
The Bears are considering him for captain. I hear the McCaskey’s are requesting a large fee to do so. I keep you posted.
I’m old enough to remember when we loved the Z man.
He loved himself more.
The Green Bay Packers elevated S Micah Abernathy and WR Juwann Winfree (juh-wann) from the practice squad to the active roster for gameday. General Manager Brian Gutekunst announced the transactions Saturday.
Because I was bored, I went on the Vikings website. According to some of their players and coaches, they plan on testing Quay. I am not sure what that means but they figure that, as a rookie, he is our weak link.
Vikings suck. 28-24 GB.

For COVID? They could get rid of him for the game and have to face a veteran.
@MichiganPacker posted:My prediction for Sunday is a Vikings win, let's say about 23-17.
I still think the Packers will win the division, but the Vikings will have some new unscouted looks on offense with the new coaching staff, it's a road game, and it will be the first live game reps for Rodgers with a large percentage of his receiving corps. I'm worried we'll see a repeat of the first game last year when it looked like the Packers hadn't ever played together before.
I think it will take them 2-3 weeks to find their stride.
Plus, Crosby missed camp and who knows what he'll do.
@michiganjoe posted:Don't quite understand the logic I'm seeing that the Queens will have a seamless transition to a completely new coaching staff while the Packers will struggle with losing Davante Adams. I see the game as more likely to be a comfortable Packer win than a Queen victory.
31-17 Packers, and it's not as close as the score indicates.
And you think the Packers with a rebuilt OL and that WR group will have a seamless transition? It would be nice of course. But AR played no pre-season on top of that.
I’m just going’ to watch the game and hope the Packers win.
Crazy.
Hi, friends. Long time, no see! I think this new look Packers post Davante will feature a RB centric offense, especially AJ Dillon, to complement our very top end talent rich defensive talent. Seems to me the 2022 Packers will closely resemble recent 49ers teams in overall philosophy. Only that we have maybe the greatest talent to ever play under center on our side. I'm pretty excited to see how this all plays out.

Who?
He's on first.
Flying into NYC tomorrow… hopefully my Dish Anywhere app works on the golf course.
Go Pack!

Neither did Kurdt.
Well, not an ideal way to start the day. Per Tom Pelissaro, no Bakh, no Jenkins, no Lazard. Yosh starts at LT.

Saw that coming. Packers Questionable List usually means Out. I think a 100% Yosh is better than a 80% Bahktiari, if he's even that. RT is a problem along with the domino affect it has on the OL. It'll have to be the Watkins story with a bunch of RB receptions. Don't know if Rodgers will trust the rookies yet. I think we have to hold them under 21 to win.
Lazard was expected, but I had hoped one of the two OL would be a go. Adversity builds character and a great game for the Packers to make a statement.
I think the turf has a lot to do with Jenkins and Bahk MJ. Jenkins might be the biggest loss because of his versatility.
Well shit.
There’s only one thing you can do when your WR1, LT1 and RT1 are out….
…Win by 10+.
Go Pack!

Good points .... in addition I think we're going to have to win the turnover battle
I expect that our defense will do well. Push from the inside, cover on the backend and rush from the edges. Our linebackers will cover and tackle on the middle. Special teams will break even. The offense is the question mark this game.
I’d go

Come on MLF, do it

Seems like everyone here is overlooking Cobb. A healthy Cobb is a tough cover for anyone. Maybe the Vikings are overlooking him too.
If only we had 3 of the top offensive players in the league like Rodgers, Jones and Dillon playing, we’d have a fighting chance.
Oh wait.
I expect both Watson and Doubs to produce today. The handwringing over the offense strikes me as a bit excessive.

Would not surprise me to see the TEs have a solid, if not spectacular day. Bobby is back. I'm not a huge fan of Deguara, but I have a feeling.....
This is probably a bad sign, but I'm confident. Our corners and pressure will make things rough on the Cousin Kirk and the revamped linebackers will hold Cook in check.
PA on a roll !
I am looking forward to seeing how our vaunted defense will do. I am concerned about the offense and special teams. They all have been discussed all off-season. Today we will find out more.

Viking fans can afford to brag and predict big. If they are right - even for one game - the "I told ya so" chorus will be deafening. If they are wrong they can state their excuses and disappear until the next match up. When they know the season is over for them, they disappear for the rest of the season. (Rinse - repeat the following year).
