NFC Championship Game week: Packers @ Atlanta blatherings

PackerPatrick posted:

MM said that if it was the regular season they would not play. That tells me that they will not be 100%.

I am excited and nervous.

All that means is that playing on the injury could make the injury, which you don't want in the regular season. Sit 1 game vs. making it worse and missing multiple games.

The playoffs are different though, there is potentially no tomorrow, so if the player can handle the pain, run at full speed, and do their job then they will play. Win now mode, all hands on deck. I would the think the only time you get held out is if you're talking about the possibility for long term reinjury or major damage occurring (like Jordy's broken ribs puncturing his lung!). 

We're in week 20 of the season, I seriously doubt anyone on either team is 100%.

Bold prediction: Jordy and Adams will both play and play well. Each gets at least one TD.

Roger that GD.

The spread is all the way up to 6, I'm guessing it has been rising because of all the injury reports so people are betting Atlanta.  In the morning, at least one of the injured guys will be announced starting so if you are betting it, I'd get your bets in now.  I could see the spread dropping down a half point.

Make that a full point if it is Jordy.  Plenty of people still think he is the whole receiving corps.

There ya go!  

Grave Digger makes a punctured lung sound so serious.  Don't most people have like, 2 of them?

Christine Michael landed on the injury report today. Questionable for tomorrow with a back injury. 

Questionable is better than "out"

Most people have a brain. What happened to you?

In 15 days?

I like that. Superb owl talk, but we need one more win first.

I think we can do it.

If I'm not mistaken I think the Packers just went wheels up on the flight to Atlanta. Go Pack!

My brain made a joke that I guess you didn't get.  

I was gonna add an icon but someone said if you have to do that, it's either a bad joke or a bad audience.  Or both I suppose.

Your "jokes" aren't erudite enough for the crowd here.

Or maybe somebody needs a nap.

Packers just signed WR Max McCaffrey off the practice squad. So if your into reading signs... might be nothing more than bringing a body up after placing Tretter on IR though.

Has the fog lifted?

Nope. Flight is delayed. Because of course it is. 

Here is your quick Max McCaffrey primer. First off, yes. He's one of the McCaffrey boys. Older brother of Christian. Max played football at Duke. 6'2" 200. Ran a 4.4 at Duke Pro Day. Signed by Reggie McKenzie in Oakland as an UDFA in 2016. Ted signed him to the PS on December 20th. My guess is Ted was looking at Max as an UDFA as well. 

His Duke highlights:

PS guys don't travel for the games I believe. So if Jordy, Adams, and Allison are game time decisions and none can play, the Packers would be very short handed, even for ST.

Other possibility is the 3 WRs are all in the morgue. 

This is where mr. miyagi would be key.

Ok, we are badly injured...odds are against us...we lost the last game...we are not the home team...I get it.

BUT Aaron has a different mindset. http://host.madison.com/wsj/sp...e2-96b860eb5de5.html

I believe it can be done.

The other part of activating McCaffrey is Michael now being on the injury report. If he can't go, then Monty and Rip is it. They may have been preparing for the potential of more Monty the WR.

Risk Management 101

If they play this game without Jordy, Adams, Allison, Rollins, and Burnett... that will be one helluva coaching job by this staff.

Team had to take Busses to Milwaukee. Too foggy for aircraft to land in Green Bay. So they are just a little behind schedule

What is left to happen to this team?  AR accidentally locks himself in the bathroom tomorrow?

I lived in Roswell in 96-97 and used to go there every Sunday.  Watched Super Bowl XXXI there.

Just fantastic....

May not be an accident if he's still got the flu. 

I don't mean to be out of line, but was I the only one who has seen this?

http://www.jsonline.com/story/...y-give-try/96886328/

"Barring any setbacks during pregame workouts, receivers Jordy Nelson (broken ribs), Davante Adams (ankle) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring), and safety Morgan Burnett (thigh) are going to be available, according to a league source. Nelson, Adams, Allison and Burnett all remained questionable after practice Saturday, which means they have a 1 percent to 50 percent chance of playing."

I'm not sure that officially says anything new.  Game time decision.

It eliminates the Randy Moss theory in my opinion.

If McCarthy had his druthers, he'd list the players as probable.

F Sevendust.

They haven't been good for 20 years anyways.

Ok....

A small edit to help my voodoo

Did they sign Perry Kemp today?

Max McCaffrey promoted from practice squad. Not a good sign, 

Max, good name for a Packers receiver. Channel it, and stay off ladders.
