The only two things I expect is for the Packers to start the same guys on the OL (Wallace, Jenkins, Myers, RJR, Tom), and the Vikes DL will spend the day 4-5 yards deep in the Packers backfield.
And for Barry to call some whacko formations while playing soft zone, with the same predictable results.
Other than that... who knows?
I have to remind myself that the Packers were 8-9 last year with Aaron Rodgers and a strong finish to the year just to miss the playoffs.
It was never going to happen with Rodgers around but for the long term GB would have been better off playing Jordan Love down the stretch last year. The way this season is playing out so far it could become a throwaway year so they can see what they have with Love and his development (or not).

Fans here and elsewhere, would have blown their tops if MLF benched Rodgers and played Love. I think it needed to be done, though.

The lack of the Packers DL to do anything is the most frustrating thing about the defense (other than playing a prevent defense the entire game).
The rotation they have in their front 7 includes 5 first-round picks (Clark, Wyatt, Walker, Van Ness, and Gary), an ILB that made the Pro Bowl (Campbell), a 330 pound NT (Slaton), and a very good all-around player (P. Smith). None of these guys are undersized. With the exception of Slaton, I think every one of these guys would be at least a rotation player for almost any team in the league and most would start for most teams in the league. Yet, teams can run on them at will and despite having a dominant edge rusher (Gary), another guy who averages 8-10 sacks per year (P. Smith), and a first round edge rusher with exceptional speed (Van Ness) they can't ever consistently rush the QB either.
At this point they should consider a significant shuffle on the OL.
Go with (L-R) Yosh Nijman - Sean Rhyan - Elgton Jenkins - Jon Runyan - Zach Tom.
What do they have to lose? The interior, starting with Myers, has been terrible. You're only as strong as your weakest link... Myers' stank is polluting Jenkins and Runyan.
Packers safety Darnell Savage will be placed on injured reserve, according to a source. Savage is expected to return this season but will need a month to let his calf injury heal.

It needed to be done because the Packers weren't going anywhere last season, Rodger was a cinch to move on, and Love could have gotten about 6 games of experience last season instead of this year. This season could have started much better if the growing pains had been last season. Just the fact that the Packers would have a better idea of what they had in Love would make it the smart thing to do.
basically the same thing is happening at Wisconsin right now, although it took an injury. They were floundering around with a 6th year SR at QB and now they are playing a guy with 4 years of eligibility which will help them immensely next season.

Practice Report 10/25: New players: Robert Rochell - CB #22 Zyon Gilbert -CB #27
No sign of: Eric Stokes Luke Musgrave
Practicing: De’Vondre Campbell Jaire Alexander Christian Watson!!!
Rehab group: Luke Tenuta (IR) Aaron Jones
Jesus Fuck..
Eric Stokes is going back on IR, Matt LaFleur says. The 2021 first-round pick played four special teams snaps Sunday in his first game since Week 9 last season. It’s a hamstring injury for Stokes. That would explain why CB Robert Rochell was signed to the 53.

Matt LaFleur on Aaron Jones not practicing: "He's just a little bit sore, and that's to be expected. Hopefully we can ramp him up and get more snaps out there."

Watson not listed on injury report, and wasn't noted as 'limited', so I'm assuming he practiced.
Watson practiced. So did Wyatt, both good news. Maybe Gute found another Rusul gem at CB. Hey, I can dream can't I?
Rochell has played for the Rams and Panthers, so he knows the defense and even if GB isn’t getting someone who can contribute defensively — he was a raw prospect coming out — he’s a hyper-athletic player for your special teams.

I just want the Pack TO LOOK LIKE THEY ARE AN NFL TEAM AND not a high school team. Please.........just look professional ok?? PLEASE. ♥️ 💚 💛

@MichiganPacker posted:I think the only real cure is to get better talent on the offensive line. Outside of Jenkins, there's probably not a player that you wouldn't like to replace.
Agreed, but it’s not happening this year. The Vikings defense will attack our O-line with constant blitzes of their smart and it’s going to get ugly quickly. This game is going to cause most of us to want to turn the game off. Kark is also the best QB our D has had to face. I predict a 20-point loss or higher. It won’t be close.
I said earlier it's going to be ugly, I just hope Love doesn't get hurt and I mean that.
queenies on grass on a cold day in Wis.... I'm not placing any bets

I think I saw somewhere that the Spermheads lead the league in blitzing and I would expect them to ramp it up even more with the way the Packers offense is playing.
They also have not scored a rushing TD this year by the looks of it. I think Joe Barry will fix that for them and I expect MN to run the ball well as most teams do against GB.
MN beat the 49ers but in previous games they struggle with Carolina and Chicago so which team shows up? I have this feeling the team that will show up will be the one the plays down to their opponent. They still win but it won't be a blowout.

Current forecast has it at 42F with rain showers...
Jaire Alexander is not practicing today after being limited yesterday. Luke Musgrave is again not practicing, but he’s no longer in a walking boot. Preston Smith is not practicing because of an illness.

Weird thing is love is ranked 11 in passing against the blitz...so there's that.

The blitzes he will see on Sunday will be like nothing he's experienced before.
Flores is a different cat
Nah…..MLF will have him prepared for the blitz. 😆😆😆😆

Funeral tomorrow...
How is this game a pick'em or GB -1? I figured it would be Minnesota -2 or -3.

Vikings winning a game they're not supposed to win....Teams after playing the Niners not covering the spread like 10-11 straight. Something like that. Vikings on a short week
Vegas ain't dumb they're not going to give Packers +3.5
Youtube: Bryan Bulaga with Steve the Homer True and Jason Wilde
Bulaga is really good. Gives honest assessments without being disrespectful. I think I enjoy his segments more than any other during the week. Lots of good stories too.
