Packers Huddle

lol rodgers calling a TO to demand a certain player get in the game, is rodgers doing whatever the hell he wants

There are very few rival players that are cheered for in Lambeau.

Ironically the two I can think of are both RBs and both selected in the same NFL draft. But man...Aaron Jones just hits different. One of my all time favorite Packers.

Tucker Kraft getting noticed by the national pundits.

He tossed Snead, a CB known for his stout play, like he was a rag doll.

I loved both the Musgrave and Kraft picks. I felt Musgrave had the biggest boom/bust potential and was probably going to take the longest to develop. I think he will have a role still moving forward but it’s possible he’s just Noah Fant. Really athletic but just not complete. Kraft on the other hand I felt was ready out the gate. He just does everything well but did it at a lesser level of competition.

I’ve always felt TE is very much a mental position. You don’t need to be physically imposing. If you can read coverages and find the soft spots and sit down in them you can make a career. If you have the toughness and ability to run after the catch you a dominate at TE. That’s the difference between Kraft and Musgrave.

Brian Flores sounds a bit daunted by the challenge that lay ahead of him.

Both guys I can always root for to do well no matter the team they’re on

I started thinking (and probably others here too) that after Musgrave got hurt and Kraft started logging more snaps, that he might end up being the better TE. He looked the part and now he really looks the part. I think the Packers have a real good one here.

Had to root for Jimmy Taylor when he went to the Saints. Hornung's 1967 and Taylor's 1968 Saints cards are collectibles. Donny Anderson on the Cardinals and Travis Williams on the Rams never felt right either. Then there's Aldridge and Bob Brown on the Chargers, Gregg and Adderley on the Cowboys, Tom Moore on the Rams, Caffey on Da Bears. Ringo on the Eagles.

The Viking defense has been pretty dam good. This will be a good measuring stick for where the Packers are. I wish Love hadn't gotten hurt and logged more snaps so far. On the other hand, this probably has helped the running game execution. Living here in Queen land, this game means a little more to me than even that other north rival.

He got away with holding on that block, but I agree Kraft and Reed have the potential to become pro bowlers.

He's my Jason Witten that I have wanted for a decade.

My, perhaps lofty, dream is that we finally have a TE combo of a great all-arounder like prime Bubba Franks and a beast receiving TE like Jermichael Finley...

I am very excited to see how MLF calls this game.

He has already shown two distinct offensive systems depending on which QB he had behind center. Sure, the past two weeks have been tailored to Willis’ strengths but Love is also capable of running that style offense. I wouldn’t expect much in the way of read option plays for Love but the motion, misdirection, and isolation runs/routes that has been very successful also works with Love under center. I also think Love is much more capable of recognizing Flores’ deception tactics and finding the vulnerabilities in that defense.

Based on last years late season performance in Minny, I don’t think it’s unrealistic to expect this offense to put up another 30 pts on them. If they do, I don’t think Darnold and Co. have it in them to match.

I don't believe there will be a legitimate Packer fan at Lambeau on Sunday that will boo #33. If anything I bet we see a heck of a lot of #33 Packer Jerseys in the house that day.

I'll address this after the game.

What fun is it waiting til after the game? Let’s hear it.

Man. Brutal injury news from Green Bay.

Jaire Alexander and Carrington Valentine are at risk of not suiting up. The Vikings have two legit WRs. This could be a tough one.

What happened with them?
