Read somewhere that they are targeting week 5 for Love return. We really need to win this one. -

Man, we had them on the ropes. Hopefully we can continue to gash them in the heat and they wear down but have to think they adjust. -
Reading MLF's comments I do think there is a chance this week. Love must be feeling better for them to be considering it. The extra 2 days might be the difference if it is really not that bad of a sprain. Sure, I get keeping the Colts guessing but if I was to bet I would say he will be back by the Titans game now.
-
I am guessing it will be on the longer side considering Love had to be helped to the locker room and how MLF and some of the players responded to questions last night. I think they will go with Willis/Clifford and try to ride Jacobs and hope the defense can step up. We started 3-6 last year so I don't think the season is over but it's a tough break for sure. But who knows, maybe Love feels better today and the extra couple of days are all he needs to get back for Indy.
-
Just remembered Rodgers got hurt in London on the games last play, sending 2022 season into death spiral. I have had my fill of the international games.
-
Our recent history when needing to play the backup hasn't been good. But the 17 game season and expanded playoffs can be forgiving. We would need to win one of those for sure.
-
Interesting that Kraft seems to have passed Musgrave and Enegbare got more snaps that LVN. We had a great draft last year but top 2 guys not stepping up in year 2 as you would hope they would.
-
I am just saying it is probably not an ACL which is good news to my ears. Just saw Peliserro report that initial tests indicate ACl intact. A few weeks out is a lot better than the whole season.
-
I think no news is good news as far as the ACL, they usually do a field test for that and with a high profile player like Love something would have been leaked by now.
-
Yes I know we have seen guys walking off with torn ACL’s but he would have been carted if they suspected that.
-
Cramps make a lot of sense given all the calf work prior to that.
-
Lloyd out, Wilson and Kraft in, Merriweather elevated.
-
They brought 2 RB’s and a FB from PS along so they are prepared but sounds like Kraft will play unless back tightens up. I don’t have a good feel for Lloyd and Wilson as there isn’t much reporting on backups. For me it’s typical of all Packer openers in that I am not sure what to expect tonight. Add the international travel and this is really a tossup. Eagles probably have chip on their shoulder after last years meltdown, both teams with new coordinators and schemes. A blowout either way wouldn’t surprise me.
-
It seems like they have a short window to make a decision if they wanted to move it to Philly and keep the Friday night game. Add to it that the NFL really wants these international games I don't see them moving it. On another note anyone else sick of hearing about the Bears all offseason? I usually watch the NFL network shows and they get more coverage than anyone. I think they have reason to be optimistic but let them play some games before crowning them.
-
It’s surprising to me Eagles are 3 point favorites on neutral field considering how these 2 teams finished last season. What does Vegas know that I don’t?
-
Just checked latest depth chart, Rhyan listed at RG starter. The shoulder injury really set Morgan back I guess. Wilson starter at LB not Cooper. Only Bullard cracked starting lineup among rookies. Stokes is the starter at CB. I can’t wait for Friday.. Also, Slaton listed as starter not Wyatt. I guess on first down Packers going big up front.
-
Jones is interesting, packers have carried him on roster for a couple of seasons so might be higher on him than we think. Maybe they like him as 6th OL in short yardage but that’s not really worth the roster investment. Williams may be pushing Bullock for starting safety spot. Love to see the depth there as we have struggled to find good safeties. New defense looked great, so far so good.
-
Yes, it's early but King has gotten some good press. Had a pick 6 off of Love I think and has been playing the slot. It would be great if he can replace Nixon there. Stokes also looking good and seems to be winning his starting spot back. It sounds like the staff decided before camp that Morgan would be worked in at RG, I guess they saw enough on OTA's/minicamp to know he wasn't ready for LT and Walker hopefully still improving.
-
Yeah I laughed at Vikes when they rolled out the winter uniforms. Now we are copying the freaking Vikings. 😡
-
In my lifetime I can’t think of any change in NFL rules like this. It’s like a whole new play and formation. Whether there is a huge impact remains to be seen,I would have scrapped kickoffs and just had teams start from the 25 but this has potential to be interesting.
-
So you are saying Mahomes deal is now 10 years 668 million? I just did a quick search and it sounds like they guaranteed more and moved some money up but no new money. I could be wrong of course. edit sorry had some dumb math and fixed it, I am sure that you didn’t mean they added 212 to the 450 million but I am not clear at all on it.
-
I am not sure anyone is saying this(it's confusing) but I think it is pretty rare for an NFL team to actually tear up a deal and give a player more money halfway through for the same years. They will add years to a deal, and in doing so may move some of that pay to the years of the previous contract for cap reasons but the Chiefs will make Mahomes honor that 10 year contract. To put it another way, after 5 years of the deal the Chiefs won't tear it up and give him a brand new 5 year deal for $350 million. Any new money he gets will come from adding more years to the deal. Restructures are a cap tool that converts base to bonus to extend the cap hit, there is not actually more money added to deal. Sorry if this is obvious but I read a lot around the internet about how it didn't make sense to sign Love to 6 year deal since he would demand new contact in 3 years anyway and I don't think that is true. The Packers would have loved a couple of non guaranteed years tacked on. Back to camp talk, I have noticed Slaton is always listed as the starter next to Clark in the base D in camp reports. No one has said he is ahead of Wyatt but it still strikes me as odd, outside of short yardage I would think Slaton really is there to rotate in for Clark.
-
MLF said they still plan to look at Morgan at LT but the fact that he has been lining up at RG all camp so far says a lot. I saw somewhere Mike Wahle said Jordan doesn’t appear ready for LT yet. Probably best for now, RG is where we lost a player and the less reshuffling the better.
-
I was hoping for that, he bounced back from it once this year, Shut it down for a while and see if he can come back in a month. Not sure what the rehab time is from surgery but if it can wait why not? Good news, this was a really big blow to the lineup.
-
It may be just speculation but sounds like the hold up is that the Packers don't like to guarantee money past the first season. That sounds not quite right as I know they have used guaranteed roster bonuses in future years but they probably mean base salary. If true, that seems like a tough line to draw considering how much other QB's are getting guaranteed. The hold in is starting to bother me as the offense has stunk without him. I guess I will just hope it is our stellar new defense and not the backup QB's.
