He clearly IS a legit WR'er. He IS pretty good. He didn't make a GREAT catch on the ball in the endzone where Rodgers threw it to his backshoulder, but not making that doesn't mean he's "not legit," it's the difference from him being a solid WR'er to a great WR'er. He did just make a big 3rd down catch that extended that drive. He is a decent reciever with pretty average body control. That's fair...but he's also still just 25 and he's improving. I think people forget what Nelson and Jones and most of our better WR'ers look at the same stage of his career. Saying he's never going to be anything more than he is now...it kinda ignores history IMO.

Those two have very different skill sets. Last year Greene started the season as that in the box safety(and made a huge play with a very nice FF). Then the season ending injury in week 2 and a slow start to this season. Sullivan can cover, Greene really can't. He's pretty limited in terms of coverage skills, but pretty versatile when it comes to playing the run and or covering TE's/RB's.
-
I didn't see anything. He's become a pretty key player. So who's up now, Jackson and Kadar? I'd like to see if Jackson can be a productive slot corner, though the fact that he hasn't seen the field much 3 years in is telling. I'm seeing Greene, Savage, Amos, and Redmond out there a lot. Hard to say who is playing slot exactly though. Yeah, hard to see exactly what they're doing. My guess would be Redmond would be the slot guy since he's the best in coverage of the group while Greene's the worst. They really much not think anything of Jackson though if he can't get on the field. Redmond's servicable, but a guy I've been hoping they could upgrade from the last couple years.

Matt Ryan was out of the pocket. I don't quite understand that myself. Just because you're out of the pocket doesn't mean you can bump guys down the field....but it must have been thrown on someone coming up and pursuing Ryan.
-
And there's the Raven Greene play! My two favorite long shots...Greene and Tonyan coming up big!

No thanks. Driving my own! Well....hope you've got a big engine...mine's been on the road for a while now!

There's still some room on my Robert Tonyan bandwagon...though there aren't many seats available!

I didn't see the PI(or holding)...I just saw the Packer OL obviously holding as Rodgers rolled out. Guessing based on how Rodgers threw it up there he saw the defensive holding. It's absolutely amazing how he sees those in real time and how often he hits those big plays as a result. The play before that. MVS on the slant. Oh...that looked like a PI in real time, but pretty good on the replay. MVS has to get his head around quicker there. That was a perfectly placed ball.
-
MVS looking like he's gaining confidence. Losing Lazard and Adams sucks, but if MVS can step up, when those guys come back(if with Lazard)...we could be that much more dangerous. And if we get anything out of EQ....

Offensive holding...?

The 49'ers haven't had a disproportionate number of injuries? Seriously? I don't know what the "boo-hoo" comment was about, I'm not complaining as I couldn't care less about SF, just pointing out the facts. The 49'ers have been absolutely crushed by injuries. I'm not and was never arguing about the Packers closing the gap argument. Though...I understand it, you don't count on a team getting as beat up as they do, but there are also variables. Young players stepping up, or how the Packers offense has improved in the 2nd year.
-
What a dangerous throw there. I assume they don't throw that to Alexanders side.
-
I've heard the injury spiel before. They're as much a part of the game anything else. It is one Vikings fans' favorite tropes. They are probably the single biggest reason these pre-emptive dynasties don't come to fruition. I don't know why you're bringing them up like they negate what I said. They are precisely the reason I dislike the "this team is set up for X years" statements. They happen all the time. Some of those injured players will never be as good again. It happens to everybody. Nobody's arguing injuries don't happen, the point being made is they're happening this season at a disproportionate rate. Would you argue that the Chiefs are set up for years? You assume injuries...you don't assume your entire secondary, and most of your DL, QB, top 3 WR'ers...etc...etc...being injured.

Drat! I was still hoping for a mid-season trade with Texas... I still have dreams of JJ returning to Green Bay to finish his career. JJ would be almost the same age as Reggie was when he came to Green Bay assuming JJ came here as a Free Agent. But I don't know if even Bill O'Brien would trade away a franchise icon like Watt though. But his contract is VERY reasonable if we were to acquire him.
-
Well it's hard to blame Bill O'Brien for struggling in Houston when his GM keeps handcuffing him. You trade away two firsts for a solid but not great LT and then you take back a bad contract and send a 4th while only getting a 2nd back for the modern day Jerry Rice?
-
I'm a little surprised with Detroit. They played hard even when Stafford went down similar to how Florres had the Dolphins playing. It appeared to me like he was a good coach with a team that just lacked talent...but something's just not clicking there. But hey...I can think of a team that could use a good DC this next off-season. Perhaps a DC who's comfortable playing with a versatile front and switching between a 3-4 and a 4-3. Pettine's just frustrating me. I actually think Capers is a better DC for this team. He did better with less up front because he just asked the DL to eat space, not penetrate whereas Pettine asks just the opposite...which is comical when you have Lancaster and Lowry as two of your starters.

I dont disagree. They have played a very easy schedule. They have had a ton of injuries. I have no idea how good the 49ers are but I just dont think there is anyway to fairly evaluate them right now. I also dont know if I have ever seen an offense with this many injuries this early in the season. Offense? Look at that defense. 3/4ths of the starting DL, their top 5 Corners have missed time, a safety, a starting LB'er. I don't know if I've ever seen ANY team suffer this level of injuries on both sides of the ball in general. But on another note....I'm in awe of New England. People thought this would be the year...they got lucky and half their D opted out, Brady left, they don't have any weapons...even though they brought in Cam, they'd be in the Lawrence sweepstakes. They're playing the Chiefs and driving down 6-3 in the 2nd half....I love MLF and I clung to the Lombardi was the greatest coach argument for a long time, but it's incredible what he's doing with this team. It's just amazing.
-
Joey Bosa, Dee Ford, Thomas...3/4ths of their DL DeeBo, Kittle, Coleman, Mossert... And then you throw in their 4 top CB's, their starting QB... So aside from the argument they weren't going 13-3 again being impossible to predict, it's easy to say now when they've been absolutely decimated by injuries. They've lost probably...6-7 Pro-Bowl players in the first FOUR games and they're still one of the better teams in the NFL. You could also look at Baltimore to refute this argument. I don't know if they win 14 games next year, but I think it's pretty reasonable they'll win 12+. The schedule is a couple game difference. You're playing the same teams in your division, you're playing the same teams in the other divisions. You have a couple of unique games compared to the other teams in your own division. I think the 1st to last play schedule is what's overrated. I'll put health as the #1 factor, and young talent as the 2nd most important when you're talking about teams breaking through. The 49'ers were probably going to be a 10 win team the year Jimmy G went down with injury...but "lucky" for them he got injured and Bosa was available and totally completed that team. The 49'ers are going to be a lot to deal with for a very long time, but only Bill Belichick could overcome THIS many injuries.

Badger Football 2020 (Latest- Headed to the Duke’s Mayo Bowl (seriously)

I just don't think fans appreciate how fast things are moving and the anticipation and accuracy it takes to play QB at a high level. It's mind boggling how these guys throw the ball with guys in their face well before these guys even get out of their break. I think Mertz is gonna be good. I think Jake Ferguson is going to see his stock shoot up significantly early on in the season as Mertz adjusts to the speed of the game. Having a big, reliable TE(who can move) is a hellua security blanket. -
Begelton's time to shine! Been high on him ever since it was announced late last year that they were grabbing him out of the CFL. Will be interesting to see if he gets any field time tonight. Yeah, he seemed like an exciting prospect. A tough WR'er who can run with the ball. I'd also like to have seen Foster play. The guy had several 100 yard games as a rookie. If the Packers can put up 40 without Adams and Lazard, that's going to really tell us a lot about MLF's scheme. Not that the pieces are interchangeable, but that he's just really good at getting guys open. The play call getting Lazard open when Lattimore and Jenkins were doubling him was....incredible.

Seriously? You not only wrote this after he deleted it, but you're both getting on him for not staying healthy while he's complaining about being held out of another game he feels he's capable of playing... There's nothing bufoonish about that. I love that he wants to play and is pissed that he can't. It’s great her realized how dumb it was to write it. If he’s mad, go talk to a coach and the training staff. Coming out saying we will take an L because he’s not in the lineup? Comical. We went 4-0 without him last season and the offense looked great. I don’t think he’s a bad guy at all. I just don’t want to see him go down the path of a lot of other WR’s in this game. It’s refreshing to think he might be somehow different. Oh...my bad, I didn't read the post, just what was relayed on here, and it was something like, "sucks when other people tell you they know your body better than you do." I'd have been more inclined to agree with you if he insinutated they'd lose the game because he didn't play.
