Z not practicing today. Will still have limited snaps until he can practice every day.

[BF004]

Didn’t realize Patrick was on there.


Man, JRJ looking to start, not last years OL, lol.

Entire interior OL combining to 2 career starts.

[NCF]

Didn’t realize Patrick was on there.

Apparently got rocked on the Love fumble (last play on offense).

[Labrev]

I hope JRJ can hang onto the job. I get why you go with Patrick at LG with two rookies at C and RG (vet experience), but I don't like him there, and he doesn't seem to be playing that well this year. At least Runyan can be a player -- and if he looks good at LG, we can move Jenkins to RT and be "set" at both spots for a while.

[Realist]

Savage doesnt seem very interested in tackling so he should be good to go. As always it will come down to how Rodgers plays. This game will tell us wether his heart is in it or not.

[BSA]

Not sure if either/both will be active on MNF, but brothers Amon Ra St. Brown ( # 14) and EQ St. Brown (#19) will be in attendance on opposite sidelines for the national broadcast

EQ had a big game vs Detroit previously, I'm sure he is itching to get back out there

The word was JRJ didnt make the leap they thought he would year 2. Patrick beat him out not bc of exp but bc he outplayed him

Monday night at home is a “Get Right” game for sure. If we roll and “get right”, we will be able to exhale and say “okay, we are tied for the division lead at worst, leading the division at best, and we have everything in front of us”

If we lose, it will be 75% time to panic with the 25% of hope being our division sucks. If we lose, we then look forward to playing San Fran and Pitt the next couple weeks.

The importance of this next game cannot be overstated in terms of setting a tone for a season

I want to be optimistic after this game because I want each game to be fun and me have fun this year, but I don't think there will be much learned from Detroit either way. Either a win or a loss honestly.

I expect to handle Detroit quite easily. They should handle them easily. The next game that is big for GB for me is honestly about SF. That is a place we have never won at when the 9ers have been legit at the time since I believe 2002.

Beating Detroit and then going to Santa Clara on a short week and winning in prime time...now I am excited again.

But Detroit is first on the list.

I actually disagree. I think the game is pretty significant, and it is perfect that we are playing a manageable team like Det as opposed to "finding out who we really are" so soon in a game against say SF. If we win big, the lions are still a NFL team. The team will be able to take a deep breath and say "ahhh...we are 1-1 and tied for the division lead, Rodgers played well, things felt more like they should, and we totally memory hole the Nola game now."

The game wont "tell us who we really are" if we win, but thats okay. It can show this team that they actually can be who they thought they were just a few short weeks ago.

However, the main thing in terms of importance of the game is what happens if its ugly, or we lose. As much as Rodgers doesnt want to panic after week one, and i get it..it will be time to turn up the panic meter to about 3/4. I mean if we lose this one, we can easily be 0-4 or 2-6 by week 8. So the importance of the game to me is to be able to get a win on the score board and move on with some new confidence.

After the way they played in Nola, we no longer have the luxary to just assume week 2 will be a victory, but we do have a good opportunity to get a victory.

So Week 2 is like any other game then. But yeah it's all about stacking Stacking Success.



My whole point is beating DET and then losing bad to SF one week later won't really mean much because we could say we beat on a weak team but got destroyed by two good teams. How do I know that? Because I've read this forum a LOT. I know how people react.

Losing to Detroit but then beating SF makes your feel maybe they finally figured it out. It took Tampa some time last year to get it going too.

I pretty much think all games are equal (I mean duh) but this in particular seems to be more about the response of week 3 than it is about week 2. At least for my own comfort and excitement. First things first to stack success. Gotta win week 2 to be able to stack success for week 3.

No, I think if you lose week two the train goes off the tracks. If you win it delays the time between seeing if the train is going to stay on the track or not. There are many weeks where a loss doesnt have as much emotional consequences as this one would. Its like losing to AZ in 2018

I was going to bring the Williams article earlier, glad to see him doing well, however if our RB's stumble, or get injured, and Willy runs for a 1000 yrds this year the peanut gallery will be screaming that we let another great player slip away again

[go pak go]

Quite honestly one of the best days in Packers history.

No joke.

[Cdragon]

Relax, Run the table. whatever. Play a good game beat an average, at best team and move on to the next one.

[Backthepack4ever]

Z to the IR. I'm fine with Preston and Gary but after that is scary.

Still pack play fine and bounce the Lions. 35 16

[BF004]

Gameday!!!

Let’s get it get it!

[Backthepack4ever]

Yep start fast and bury em early. If week 2 taught us anything its week 1 is in the rear view.
