Beautiful #Thanksgiving morning for an early #Packers practice. Not taking part: A.Jones (knee), Matthews (groin), Patrick (hand), Linsley (unknown), Montgomery (ribs), Clark (ankle). Linsley is new to the list.

If we lose by 21 it's a moral victory.
Falling asleep during the 4th quarter will help ease the pain. That and several legal beverages.
Are you saying you're not going to break out the Purple Drank?Quote:

I'm deliberately setting my threshold very low so I can't be disappointed. May just record the thing and only watch if the final is remotely close.
And to think I was gonna go to this one.
There's always the possibility Bad Ben could show up and help keep it close.Quote:

I want to see QB Brett Hundley and NOT a whole lot of his Happy Feet.
Mike McCarthy has to set up the quick plays on offense. A whole lot of Simple Read plays. He needs to call plays that best protect the ball. Brett Hundley is getting Sacked a lot (an average of about 4 per game) and losing 30 Yards a game.
He doesn't have talent at QB now. Really how much 'and talent' does he have?
This is the TEST for a REAL Head Coach. His NO. 20 Power Ranked Packers Vs THe NO. 4 Ranked Pittsburgh Steelers.
Writers say prevailing thinking is that Burnett, King and Linsley will play. (Burnett and Linsley said this in interviews)
Clark and Monty are likely out. Matthews is a game time decision.

if you thought last week was bad...
I say again, the problem is primarily the O Line. Hundley has been far from perfect, but he's been about as good as could be expected with the horrible pass rush/lame-assed O Line/receivers who were good as long as Aaron Rodgers was the one throwing to them/RBs who need to run with very few holes opened by the line. Hundley is getting a large dose of what Aaron Rodgers had to overcome - and usually did.
There's a slim chance we could beat Pittsburgh, but it will only happen if the damn O Line suddenly plays way better than it seems like they are capable of playing.
Ain't gonna happen...Quote:

This one turned out to be a real bust for NBC. I'm surprised they didn't flex another game - any other game - to tonight instead. I wouldn't watch tonight if I wasn't a Packer or Steeler fan, and I imagine most people feel the same way.
NO ... Realistic.Quote:

The problem is WAY bigger than the OL
It's taking our QB too long to go though his reads...and he' not recognizing defenses as well as most QB's do
I think I was mocked for suggesting I'd be fine with Keenum as our backup QB many many weeks ago. That turned out to be a correct statement.
a-rod has the exact same problem, so its the systemQuote:

With Rodgers it IS the offense. Hundley is supposed to be making progressive reads.Quote:
