    give me a tank of a te and a big wr that can play above the rim


  • Registered Users Posts: 429 ✭✭jman0war


    Even with a TE and WR we'd need a O-Line that can keep open passing lanes.


  • Registered Users Posts: 429 ✭✭jman0war


    Plus do we have expectations of a running game?

    When I look into the crystal ball I see Lacy returning carrying another stone of weight.
    Starks is still Starks (an okish backup).
    Glimmers of wishful thinking regarding Crockett but he's not a No.2, yet.

    our o line isnt bad, with so many innuries and having to hold onto the ball longer it looks bad. deep safeties are practically playing as mlbs against us.

    ;) Play above the rim- I fcuking love that, that's what's needed.

    Tank of a TE , we have one RR, can't get YAC yards, big mobile dude is what we need .

    However; time to freshen up the coaching staff. Too stale and stade imho

    By the way OL is young, all under 30 experienced wouldn't worry too much about them,apart from Bulaga- injury prone.

    Bring on the 'Skins:D

    I see GB as #5 for most sacks allowed this season.
    Would probably top that list if Rodgers wasn't a good scrambler.
    Injuries are a part of life in GB, more depth on O-Line is needed badly.

    That's from October though not for the whole season.

    This is more recent, presume it's accurate.

    Good spot, wasn't paying full attention!

    Have to say though of all the opponents the Packers could have got, maybe their best chance for at least one win is against the Redskins.
    I would rather lose than win, and face the Seahawks. I don't want this teams legacy to be 'Seattles Rape Toy'. Don't even know that I could even watch that game, if we got to it.

    They can only meet in the championship game @Lambeau. If they win the next opponent will be either Arizona or Carolina. Can't see them advancing, tbh.

    That was in the before the wheels started to fall off though...


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,248 ✭✭✭✭BoJack Horseman


    Obviously, Go Pack Go etc....

    But what are we thinking tonight?

    I heard on the ATNFL podcast, Chris Wessling said GB have the slowest receiving corps in the league......

    However, I think we can sneak this.

    Bachtiari out at LT, Don Barclay in.

    Doesn't improve our chances..

    JC Tretter actually


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,512 ✭✭✭baby and crumble


    I'm not optimistic after that first drive...


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,248 ✭✭✭✭BoJack Horseman


    So, Tredder (a centre) is playing at left tackle.... the most important position to protect the QB.... my previous optimism is sunk,.,.

    And there you go.... a safety! :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,744 ✭✭✭raze_them_all_


    qand gave up that for the safety after giving up the penalty

    Tretter was an all-American left tackle in College.

    Who was hurled backwards and caused the safety.

    So, I guess it doesn't really matter if he was good in college 3 years ago.

    Your point?

    Bojack suggested that Tretter was a centre playing LT. He knows how to play LT.

    And that's why we love Aaron.

    And that's why we love Aaron #2.

    We really shouldn't be in this, let alone leading by 6. The first quarter looked like men v boys. Since then, it's been dominated by Rodgers brain.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,049 ✭✭✭digzy


    I like that .....I like that 👌


  • Registered Users Posts: 429 ✭✭jman0war


    Well that was surprising.

    Phoenix might not be intimidating...from a Cardinals forum yesterday...

    As of right now there are still about 15 K seats for sale between stub hub 11,700 and nfl tix echange 6,500 ( many brokers list on both sites so some duplicates). Looks like there could be 10,000 empty seats come game time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Tixs are available for under $100 and dropping, with no buyers insight. What an embarrassment of a fan base!
    Looks to be more like 7K seats attempting to be sold on Stubhub as of this morning -- prices will drop tomorrow morning and hopefully some of these are from season ticket holders who hopefully will just call a friend and sell the ticket to a CARD fan for face value plus a beer !!!
