Yeah, I don't have a good feeling about this game at all. Just a bad matchup and although we don't play them very often, they seem to be a thorn in our side. I looked it up. The last time the Packers beat the Colts on the road, they were the Baltimore Colts, in 1974. Ouch.

Not playing then often is an understatement. We’ve played them 5 times on the road since our last win in ‘74 going 0-4-1 with two losses by 3 points each.

 

I 100% agree that it’s not a good match up for us... so watch us have one of our best games of the year. :)

With Adams looking perhaps on the doubtful side of questionable, we may need a vintage Rodgers Superman performance on Sunday.

Is it weird that this almost makes me feel better? The offense has a tendency to seem so much more like it’s best version of itself when Adams is out and the ball gets distributed more widely and more quickly. I think this happens for several reasons: Arodg doesn’t fixate, the opposing defense can’t ignore 80% of the offense, and MLF seems to develop better game plans.

 

Losing the best* WR in the league absolutely doesn’t make you a better team, but boy, the results don’t always bear that out. Football is a weird game.

I like our odds better in the dome against these guys than at home. Feels like this LaFleur offense works better on turf.

agreed. I've wondered if having HFA in the playoffs - when weather will be bad - will actually help us or not. We really rely on the passing game to open our run game. And I don't need to mention our run defense...

"Rock, sometime, when the team is up against it, and the breaks are beating the boys, tell 'em to go out there with all they got and win just one for the Uecker. I don't know where I'll be then, Rock but I'll know about it; and I'll be happy."

Never mind. Appears that he's good to go for Sunday now.

I figured he was just resting. Or maybe posturing? I wasn't too concerned he would miss this.

 

Anyone see an update on Barnes? He isn't listed on the injury report, but I've not seen anything about him being activated either.

Looks like the Packers opened at -2.5 but it has now swung to Indy -1.5. Pretty big move, not sure what the betters are looking at now that Adams looks to be a go. King and Alexander good to go as well, as healthy as we have been in a while.

Bettors going very heavy toward Indy at that opening line isn't surprising to me. It's the exact kind of matchup that has been an L pretty much every time in the MLF era without fail, a road matchup against a top D.

 

Indy isn't a great running team but I would still expect a heavy dose of JT tomorrow. A win in a game like this would be quite satisfying but at least let's have it be a close competitive game.

JK Scott did not travel with the team due to a personal issue. The Packers have signed Drew Kaser who worked out with the team earlier this week (and who presumably cleared the COVID protocol).

 

[sarcasm]Mike Sherman was ahead of his time with keeping two punters on the roster.[/sarcasm]

I bet Rodgers is pissed. An opportunity to have Pat McAfee as a teammate blown!

Just realized King was added to injury report with yet ANOTHER injury. Do not resign this guy and yeah I am still pissed about TJ Watt.

Scott now in Indy and expected to play.

I saw that yesterday and I just laughed. I agree with you about Watt. King had an injury history coming out of college. I don't know what TT was thinking, something that was a recurring issue with me for years.

Yeah, you gotta shake your head at the King injury situation, but I still don’t blame the Packers for passing on T.J. Watt. Remember, it wasn’t King or Watt, it was King+Biegel or Watt. Who honestly thought Biegel would be cut after 1.5 years? Also, aside from being a Badger and Wisconsin native, T.J. Watt had an injury history AND had just made a position switch. That’s exactly the type of player we rail on the Packers for drafting.

Could've had Ryan Ramczyk or Budda Baker too. Happens every draft. If Watt wasn't a Badger and JJ's brother, I doubt he'd be referenced as much. It's too bad King couldn't stay healthy because if he did, I doubt anyone would have complaints. He's a pretty good football player.

Turns out King is active after all. M.

 

Packers inactive list: P Drew Kaser, QB Jordan Love, CB Ka'dar Hollman, RB Tyler Ervin, OLB Jonathan Garvin, DT Montravius Adams.

It is fair to say that I want the Packers to draft all the Badgers but Watt was climbing fast going into the draft and sort of fell into our lap and we passed. My memory of it was that he was BPA. King is active.

Even after taxes, Drew Kaser is going to net at least $15,000 from his game check. Not a bad week. I hope JK is OK. I wonder if he and his wife were expecting again?
