In preseason we saw some of the double TE package. If defense plays their nickel package, we bring the TE's in & run. If the play their base run defense , we spread them out, & force LBers to cover one of the TEs & Monty out of the backfield. Interested in how much we will see that.

Almost the whole country is getting the Packer game.
I guess the old rule of the road teams network broadcasting the game is out the window.
I did not take the f'ing Jags playing at 4:00 into account when I made hotel arrangements inland......screw Irma, this is serious......
Read it rong.
Looks like I'll be seeing the game at the hotel.
Now if I could just read the hurricane models wrong....
Seattle's starters played a lot this preseason. MM doesn't think that's important. Our guys barely had a handful of reps together. I worry the Hawks could catch the Pack in their "pre-November" malaise that is so typical of MM teams. Hope we come out firing. But this could be a sloppy loss. Then, 0-2 is really looking us in the face.
We WILL be ready for the Falcons and Matt Ryan this time. I see that as more like the first time we played them last year, a shootout that will be close.

Ideally, your next post could lay out the path to 0-16? not too much to ask I hope.

Glass half-empty as per usual.
Thank-god you're not my hurricane evacuation companion....."We're all gonna die!!!!!!!" 
Well, to be fair in this case his glass is completely empty.
...and broken. With shards of class that will cut your lips and tongue so that they look like ground beef. The pain is excruciating causing you to wish you could simply die to have relief....but death does not come....until you are completely healed...then you are hit by a bus....carrying orphans who have weak stomachs and psyches.

Hello Pot? There's a kettle on line one. They say it's regarding black and that you should definitely take the call.
Bryan Bulaga (ankle) did in fact practice, as McCarthy said. He took reps with the starters in a walk-through period. Looked fairly good.

Reason for optimism.
Jacksonville vs. Houston could be the battle of whose stadium is more damaged by game time.

Fox has announced that all of Florida (the parts that will still be able to watch at least) will now get the Falcons-Bears game.
Edit: I think this is for the early game...
^^^^^^^^
God is punishing us further.
There's nothing wrong with scouting a divisional rival and a conference opponent.
The Heckler posted:I also think the best way to attack the Hags D is to spread them out. As Chilijon said, I don't think there is going to be many rushing yards going at their DL. Their D needs to be spread out and when passing the ball get the short passing game going (which really is a running game) to keep the DL off of AR. This in turn might get a little room to run the ball. I don't see a ton of points for the Pack against that D but I don't see a ton of points for Seattle either. I just am not that impressed with their offense especially the OL.
Anyhow, the first two games (Seattle and @Atlanta) are so important since the Packers cant afford a slow start.
Yup.. high probability that we are competing against those two teams for home field advantage.
Hey all I'm saying is this is a very tough two games to open the season, and we can't afford to come out flat in week one. MM didn't see fit to play the starters much at all, and Seattle played a ton. That's all I'm saying.
So Seattle is tired out and the Packers are well rested?
Will Dial play on Sunday or is it too early for him to adapt to Dom's defensive system?

Dum Capers will figure it out and it will work to bend and break.

week 3 and 4 is tough too. I can't see how we're not 0-4 since MM didn't see fit to risk his starters (much at all)

I don't think it's that big of an adjustment to the 49ers previous 3-4 D. I'm guessing he's in the rotation.

wtf are you talking about?
Anyone else excited? I actually expect a higher scoring game, 28-24 Pack
Of course they are...
Joe Buck, Troy Aikman to call Packers season opener vs. Seahawks
Well, number one announcing team and the national game......
Hope to see Seattle, Joe, and Troy back at Lambeau January 21, 2018.
Montravius Adams (90) in pads for the first time since the Senior Bowl. The third-round pick missed all the padded work in camp because of a foot injury and subsequent surgery.
Holy sh**. This is a big boy...
Quinton Dial (91) in his first practice. He brings some serious size to the interior of the Packers defensive line.
Bryan Bulaga (ankle) did the pre-practice work in pads but they appear to be playing it safe with him. He did not do some of the individual drills outside with the rest of the offensive linemen. Looks like it's going to take all week to determine his availability for Sunday.
#Packers DT Quinton Dial signed for $1 over the minimum ($775,001) , which leaves open option for an extension. Couldn't do it if not for $1

Still relatively young and smart to leave open the option of extending him.

Thanks Ted and Russ.

This is true. Personally I am grateful MM did it that way. There is nothing worse than a season-ending injury in pre-season.
The risk on offense is, the timing may be off between the blockers and the RB's, and between the QB and the WR's. Overall though it's worth the risk. We have Aaron Rodgers: He can find an open TE in his sleep. I expect a big game from Bennett.
On defense, ALL of the starters are healthy. How often do we get to say that?
Pack - 26 , Chickenhawks - 20
