If our offense gets in gear, you can practically count on the defense going to heck. I'd just like to see a complete game by both offense and defense. Just show me it can be done by these players and coaches...
I have no dislike for the Titians.
I have nothing against the Titians, either.

What's up with the orange guy in the foreground? Is that like a sticker?

No limitations on Packers receiver Randall Cobb (hamstring) this week. "He's going to play as a full-time player," coach Mike McCarthy said.
James Starks sounds like he has a better chance to play Sunday at Tennessee than Jared Cook. "James is very close," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "We'll see how Jared is come Saturday." Starks hasn't played since his Oct. 16 knee surgery, while Cook hasn't played since Sept. 25, when he sprained his right ankle.
Clay Matthews won't play Sunday at Tennessee, but coach Mike McCarthy said his hamstring isn't a long-term concern. "He's making progress," McCarthy said. "He just won't be available this week." Matthews, however, will miss his third straight game.
The question begs to be asked....
Is Clay Matthews worth his gigantic cap number in 2017? His production isn't what it's been in about 3 seasons. And he can't stay healthy.
No he is not worth it....however he will get it, somewhere.

Khal Drogo was a Titan? I thought Dothraki...
I really think Dom and Micah should watch this together on the flight to TN. There's a message here for both of them.
I prefer Dom watching Remember the Seahawks, or Remember the Cardinals.
I prefer that the players on the field play defense and stop someone.
SPI is off the charts right now. This place is tighter than an otters asshole.
When Jeff Fisher coached the Titans, they were easy to hate.
Lots of low hits and dirty play. I remember playing them in pre-season for quite a few years in a row, and Fisher "playing to win" them.
Now...meh. It's hard to get too excited about an AFC opponent that, barring quirks, we see only once every 6-7 years.
Speaking of things I dislike that start with the letter 't'...
Trap. As in trap game. As in that's exactly what this game could be for Green Bay.
"Trap game" is an invention of the sports media to explain (in their eyes) upsets. What we saw last week was a team that was a little bit more motivated than ours was. With our backs against the wall we can hope that will be reversed tomorrow.
Our road tests start now, @TideNFL. There’s plenty of work to do for the Green & Gold. #OurColors will come to play. #ad pic.twitter.com/sWlV68D1OE

Trap? The Titans are the better team. This Packers team is not good.
They are what their 4-4 record says they are- nothing more than mediocre.

4-4 teams don't have Trap games.
We haven't had a really great receiver out of the backfield for years. Now we have a WR that can be a running threat. Why are we not clearing one side and throwing to Monty early and often?
McCarThy.

Indeed. Take any NFL team and remove their top 3 RBs
Then take away their top 3 CBs, then take away their top pass rusher. Then take away the number 1 tackler who is also the guy who sets the defense and makes the calls. Then remove both starting guards. And the starting LT. And for good measure, remove the starting TE and swap out the Center.
What you have left is an average NFL team struggling to find its way.
Take away Top Tier Teammates ? Tawdry Tailspin Tests The Timid
This team should beat people even with all the above people out. Just need to play better.
Every team has injuries and everyone is hurting this time of year.
It sucks to have injuries but that is why you build depth.
When you take away the top 3 RBs, that kills any offense. The starter AND the depth are wiped out. Take away all 3 top CBs and that kills any defense
Can you find me another team that lost its top 3 CBs ? No, you can't. That's why its a cop-out meme imo.
How would the Seahawks Cover-3 defense look without 3 starting CBs ? Well, they lost to the lowly anemic Rams with just 1 of them being injured, so that offers a hint doesn't it ?
When the Packers have the freedom to use their safeties as movable chess pieces, they can wreak havoc. When the Safeties have to babysit Gunter and Goodson, the defense gets gashed.
When Matthews is out, the opposing offense slides their protection to double Perry/ Jones/Peppers instead of Clay and the results are poor. Why has Perry's play dropped off recently ? Because he is getting double-teamed
Shields and Matthews are the two best defenders on the team and Jake Ryan is one of the most important. All out. Did you notice all the hand waving and gestures vs the Titans ? That's partly because Jake Ryan wasn't there to set the defense; instead a part- time player in Joe Thomas and a rookie Martinez had to fill in without any time to prepare. And they are working with guys like Kentrell Brice who just got here. That's tough to do on the fly.
Players matter, which is why teams have millions and millions invested in finding them. If all you needed to do was pencil-whip your opponent, then teams would invest in Madden games instead. The difference between good teams and average teams and bad teams are a few select top-end players, the rest are all about the same.
All of these injuries happened within a couple of weeks and rocked the Packers to their knees, both on offense and on defense. Now they have to get up off the mat and salvage the season. I'm confident they will; others feel differently and that's fine too. We all make our own sandwiches. 
but pretty please with sugar on top : can we agree to dispense with the ****ing meme that "...all teams have injuries" ? Thanks
If Rodgers goes out, I don't expect to win.
I expected they could win against Atl, Ind and Ten with the injuries they had.
I agree, players matter. They still played like **** and lost games they could have won.
