Damn, you a few minutes late in stopping me from posting this elsewhere.
Bump in the road coming?...
WK 7 we play WFT at Lambeau in the early game.
WK 8 (4 days later) we play AZ in AZ on Thursday.
Yep, health matters. Bakh could be back by AZ, I believe Rodgers said he will start practicing this week. MVS should also be back this week.
Savage back the following week?
Alexander? King?
Sounds like Myers will miss a few weeks,
I don't want to think about what those Douglas numbers would look like if they had continued giving those snaps to Yiadom.
Hopefully they give his roster spot to Quinten Dunbar real soon. Like this week soon.
This is game is where my house is divided. My wife is a huge WFT fan so I am sure at some point next Sunday I will get my dumb ass in trouble.
As for the game, I am not sure what to think of WFT. They have a pretty good defense with a pretty darn good DL. But they seem to struggle at times figuring out their identity on offense. McLaurin is going to be trouble for this secondary and the Packers are definitely going to need to cover their TE.
I concur. they seem competitive but don't seem to be able to put it together to get the W they way we did the last two weeks....
@ByRyanWood: Matt LaFleur says #Packers starting center Josh Myers "most likely" will miss at least a couple games, though it is not a season-ending injury. So expect Lucas Patrick to be snapping to Aaron Rodgers for short-term future.
@TomSilverstein: LaFleur said that they're going to be careful with OLB Preston Smith, who injured an oblique muscle. He said they don't want the injury to get worse and will see where he's at later this week.
@ByRyanWood: Matt LaFleur anticipates #Packers LT David Bakhtiari to practice this week for first time since tearing ACL. LaFleur cautions Bakhtiari needs "ramp-up period" before he plays. "When you're coming off a pretty significant injury, you don't want to just throw somebody out there."
Let me interpret for you. King, Myers and P Smith are out this week. Bahk will not be back for AZ game, but the game after.
Savage can play if he gets out of protocol. MVS has a chance too. Everyone else is still out .
Disagree with your guess on King and Bahk. I'll bet Bakh is back for AZ, and King may be back this week.
I seriously doubt 69 is back in 10 days with him just returning to practice tomorrow.
King took a knee directly to the shoulder. He's likely back for AZ, but I do not think before.
@YATittle posted:Disagree with your guess on King and Bahk. I'll bet Bakh is back for AZ, and King may be back this week.
No way they rush Bahk along that fast. Maybe, MAYBE if the OL was struggling but we are talking about the Green Bay Packers here.
The Prince of Darkness can hold down the center. He's not Jim Langer but he's somewhat solid. Runyon is picking up where his Father left off. Jenkins still leads the offense in tackles. Billy T has big hands and quick feet and Newman needs to quit spending so much time in Jerry's apartment and hit the film room. No need to rush Bacteria back.
Unlike the Vikes, this team does have something in the trophy case.

Just another guy everyone loves to hate
I think the 'skins defense has a lot of playmakers and the ability to be good/very good. But so far through 6 games, they've been average at best. After giving up only 20 points in week 1 to the Chargers, they've proceeded to give up: 29 to Giants; 43 @Buffalo; 30 @ Hotlanta; 33 to the 'Aints; and 31 to the Chefs. That's a lot of points. Grant it, with the exception of the Giants, those are some potent offenses. But the Packers have a potent offense as well.
And their 4 First Round picks on the D-line have combined for 9 sacks thus far. Kenny Clark, Dean Lowery, Kingsley Keke and TJ Slaton have combined for 6.5. AR and MLF have the ability to neutralize their rush by quick drops/reads and getting the ball out in 2-3 seconds. That said, the line will need to play well like they have the last 5 games.
Statistically speaking, both offenses are remarkably similar passing, rushing, and scoring. The biggest exception is INTs; their guy has thrown 6 so far.
Defense is a whole 'nother story. WAS is 31st overall; dead last vs the pass and scoring. They are a bit better vs the rush, but still mediocre (20th).
For as much as I cuss our defense at times, they actually rank well. 10th overall, 6th vs the pass, 15th vs the rush, and 16th in scoring.
I can't see this game being much different than the 2-3. ARod and Adams likely will abuse their DBs, we'll run the two-headed monster at RB, and add a sprinkling of receptions for the TEs and other WRs.
On defense, I think the MASH unit can hang with the weaker offenses. The DL and the LBs are playing good enough to relieve some pressure on the DBs. WAS has only given up 6 sacks this year, so they will have to be even better this week.
In the end, I expect a game where the Packers may lead the entire game, and certainly should win it, but it will be closer than it has to be.
GBP 35 WFT 24
AR is 2-3 against the 'skins in reg season and 1-0 in playoffs. All 3 losses were in DC.
Green Bay (-9.5) v The Washington Football Team (+9.5) latest line
Also, are we in these new uniforms this week?
#Packers play Washington this week. WFT is giving up 34.3 points per game over the last four, including four straight games of 30 or more points. pic.twitter.com/xB4wH8QI0R

Would love to see them "reverse" colors for a game. Sweet green pants with thick yellow stripe and yellow jersey/green numbers.
Should've worn them @ CHI.
They should do more games where both teams wear throwbacks.

Hopefully, Gute got, in Henry’s words, lucky again.
I thought I remember that name bouncing around pre-draft as a second day DB or maybe someone had him as a sleeper pick. He's got skills, maybe Jerry can turn him into something.
As pointed out earlier, the WFT defense has been a disappointment and the Packers should be able to put up 35. Only real danger I see is if the team looks ahead to the Cardinals instead of focusing on the present.
Considering the MASH unit that has been this OL, coupled with the defensive fronts that GB has faced, this is remarkable:
Packers offensive line is fifth in ESPN’s pass-block win rate and ninth in run-block win rate.

@packerboi posted:#Packers coach Matt LaFleur said he doesn't foresee CB Kevin King (shoulder) going on injured reserve. He said it would be day-to-day.
Anymore the Packers should just list King as day to day even for the 2.5 days in the season he is healthy.
As for those green jerseys with the gold numbers I really like those uniforms a lot.
Wore ‘em in ‘’53/54
Hog Hanner still looked old when he was young.

42 years a Packer…he and Elijah Pitts from Philander Smith were my guys as a kid.

Probably not much different. It was Justin Fields and after the pre-scripted plays, after all.
Even the balls that were caught he contested them.. Yes, it's the Bears, but it's still the NFL. Kind of.
Got to say that I really like the jerseys. I shelled out some $$ for one this year (seriously) and love it.
On another note, am I the only one that can’t get passed the “WFT” and “WTF?” It’s literally taken me like one year to not think someone is asking “What the Fuck” rather than referring to this next opponent. It’s an easy thing to decipher, but it’s been messing with my head.
