True.

Maybe a week where they are able to practice the whole week with the guys that start the game will help.

On O and D the Packers have been consistently inconsistent.

I have always felt fans rooting for more losses by their team in order to secure a better draft position is the mentality of someone who is always losing.

A top 10 pick where they'll draft another D player that takes 3 years to mature? 

There is a good crop of QB's coming out next spring.  That's the only thing I'd be excited about being in the top 10.  That would of course assume Gute was ready to pull that trigger.

Proper follow-up question: Why does the team have a lot of confidence in Amari Rodgers?

Why do they have confidence in any number of players that consistently shit the bed, e.g. Newman, Tyler Davis, Tyler Lancaster, etc.?

Because they have no choice at this point in the season most likely.

Why do I believe Vladimir Putin more than him?

I liken this game to the 2018 road game vs Super Bowl bound Rams.

The Pack played very hard and hung in there for most of the game.  Then Ty Montgomery fumbled a return and cost the Packers a chance at the upset over what ended up being the NFC Champion that season. I thought from that game forward, the Pack basically mailed it most of the rest of the year.

Honestly it sort of feels like they’ve already semi-quit but maybe this game will wake them up and they start playing better football instead of quitting like they did in 2018 after that Rams loss.

Don’t bring that up, I was there, still sure that we would win in the end.  One side note, Ty, the fuckup was gone a day later.

Thats that way to run a team,  remove to improve.

And yet Amari Rodgers is still on the team.

Pack's offense is sputtering.

Now, "Number 1" receiver Lazard is unlikely to play and we know Cobb is out. Top draft pick Watson will probably miss this one as well.

Bakhtiari anyone?

GB is facing the #1 scoring defense in the NFL (13.5 points per game) coming off a bye, on the road, at night, before a bunch of sure to be lubed up Bills Mafia crazies and a national TV audience.

The line has already gone from 10.5 to 11.5.

Murph is from upstate NY, but he and Gute might want to skip attending this one in person, or at least maybe take it in from somewhere that the NBC cameras can't catch them looking like late stage Ted Thompson.

If they can continue to play near the level of the team they are playing, they should look amazing. It's just a matter of whether they establish the run and let Jones take control on big plays with Dillon getting chunk yard first downs.

Otherwise, the over is going to be hit in the first half and Allen might only play one series in the second half.

Aaron said it perfectly in his press conference, this might be the best thing for them, because a 5th loss here makes the Wild Card really tough to get unless the Bandwagon Franchise completely collapses and gives up the Division (always a very real possibility probability).

I wonder if Cobb, Lazard, Watson, and Watkins weren't all out or significantly dinged up if Amari would still be on the team. They don't have enough guys at that position right now to even line up.

Rodgers needs to play better, but we face a scenario now where we go into Buffalo with a receiving core of Doubs, Amari Rodgers, Toure, and Juwan Winfree.    With a TE group of Tonyan, 38 year old M. Lewis, Tyler Davis, and DeGuara.

The Packers will likely behind for large parts of the game. The over under on the combined receptions for Tonyan and Aaron Jones is probably going to be something like 20 catches for 100 yards.

Amari was always going to be given the same opportunity as another third round bust Jace Sternberger- two seasons.

Ryan Wood basically asked MLF that follow-up question and his answer was that Amari performs well in practice. Seriously, he said that.
