All I see in the original data set is Green Bay needs to start forcing some punts
No kidding-
and a couple of the times they actually did it, it was wiped out by a penalty on B Jones, Tramon Williams or other. Gotta get off the field on Sunday
Biggest difference stat wise than last year? Turnovers.
@josephperson: Kelvin Benjamin (concussion) DNP. Still in protocol.
Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy spoke with the media for about five minutes following Thursday's practice. Here are the highlights.
On Datone Jones not practicing:
Datone did not practice today. He's not recovering as fast as we thought. He made some progress Friday for Saturday, but it's not coming along. He was just testing it out yesterday.
On Cam Newton:
He's a big-time player. He's obviously the focal point of their offense. He can do things running the football and passing it through the air. Very talented.
On Tramon Williams and Sam Shields:
They're getting better. Didn't get any updates today. Tramon is still further ahead of Sam.
On Bouncing back from Miami heat:
They're fine. They had a chance to bounce back Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday, they just had the helmet on. Our padded work was what it needed to be. I'm actually excited to watch the tape.
On Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin:
He's big, physical, goes up for the football. He looks to be a favorite target for Cam Newton. He's got big-time ability. Big catch radius.
On Panthers TE Greg Olsen:
I think Greg is playing excellent. I don't know what his numbers are, but we've always had a lot of success for him going back to Chicago. He's having a heck of a year.
On working Jarrett Boykin back in:
I don't think so. I thought yesterday he needed to go through the practice to kind of get through. He did a bunch of stuff today. How he goes through the evaluation tomorrow will probably be a pretty good indicator.
On Demetri Goodson's readiness:
We've got 63 guys in the building we're counting on. Demetri will jump in in a heartbeat if he needs to go.
All full of awesome.
@jasonjwilde: The featured #Packers alumni at this week's game vs. Carolina will be Fuzzy Thurston and Jerry Kramer, the team announced.

Hey, Marvin!
Those headaches and fogginess that most players experienced regularly throughout their careers? The stuff everybody ignored because claiming injury from a headache was malingering? That wasn't football-itis. That was concussions. The fact that you consider it "normal" means you still don't grasp the nature or severity of the injury. The protocol is in place to protect against people like you.
I'm thinking Marvin Lewis may have been 'dinged' a few times.
@AdamSchefter: Packers CB Sam Shields “probably” misses Sunday vs. CAR due to knee injury; CB Tramon Williams likely “game-time decision” with ankle injury
Panthers WR Kelvin. BENJAMIN (concussuon) practicing and catching passes.
I guess he wasn't completely Burficted

Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix - After starting off the season slowly, Clinton-Dix’s grade has improved in each game for the last four weeks.

Don't need their secret sauce of stats to tell me HaHa has improved on the year.
Guess it's official about Sam and Datone.
@TyDunne: For the #Packers, Tramon Williams is listed as questionable and Sam Shields/Datone Jones are out. Lattimore/Boykin also questionable.
Oh my goodness. No wonder they can't defend it that well.
@WesHod: MM: Flynn and Tolzien ran the read-option in practice this week. Flynn is good at it, too

The copiosity of your sapience is duly noted and venerated here at X4
Neil, Ben, and Sam.
90 percent of what you see on the current site has been completed by either Ben or I - Neil
Ben - Director of Analysis at Pro Football Focus. University of East Anglia. BS in Ecology
Sam - is an analyst at PFF. His real job is as a Sales and Marketing Director in Dublin, Ireland.
Gebins to these guys for spending time each fall reviewing games and then spewing stats to their site while generating some revenue with their fanboy POV. What's really funny to me about them is that they have been following American Football since 2005 and yet have national media types quoting their grades like something from a pro scouting service. Patty should head over to the UK and hook up with these guys.
From Green Bay Press Gazette chat today:
Comment From Mike W If Shields and Williams can't play, are the Packers in trouble?
I guess they're so above average a local beat writer can't remember his name.
H5, you are so right. 
Man, people are so fascinated with arithmetic these days. You build a statistical model and people swoon with fascination like Jed Clampet admiring cipherin' "Well, doggies!"
At work, these things are usually built on agenda and not vision/fact.
Aaron Rodgers is on pace for 40 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. http://
got in town last night, spent all day at Lambeau. Pleasantly surprised by the stadium renovations since I was here last a few years ago. pro shop was was an absolute zoo but got to meet Chmura, Kramer and Driver was there for a charity event.
cannot wait to get this tailgate started in a few hours.
supposed to get into the 30s tonight. let's do this!

First regular season game for me since 1985, Marino's rookie year I think, the fins whipped us.
I am pumped!

Lambeau - Worst stadium in the NFL. Fans are mean. You can never walk around & stop at a tailgate for some food. Mean people suck.
Oh wait! That was Philadelphia.....nevermind 
for those folks going to the game, have a great time, weather looks great for packer football today!!!
Games on tv! The worthless yuckityneers do something right by having a bye week.
sent my father-in-law off to the game with his wife.
Pack has never lost when my father-in-law sits in my seats.

GO PACK GO! Incredible fall weekend in the GB area - what fall and football is all about.
