    Asked if his ankle injury is anything to worry about, #Packers RT @BBulaga smiled and said "Not that I know of" as he headed out the door.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Sounds like short term for each one:

    After losing Jordy Nelson to a torn ACL in last week’s preseason loss at Pittsburgh, a serious injury to Cobb might have been the death knell to the season.
    “It felt like a bad dream,” Cobb said.

    Instead, there was a “silver lining.” Cobb wouldn’t say what exactly was wrong but he did say what it wasn’t: a collarbone.

    “I just caught the ball and was going down to the ground and I had a guy land on top of me,” Cobb said. “I was just jogging off the field at the end of the series and I could feel the pain. I didn’t know exactly what it was. It was discomfort and I let Doc (McKenzie) check it out and we went back and got X-rays. It’s not what we think it could’ve been.”
    Cobb wouldn’t say if he’d be OK for the Week 1 game at Chicago on Sept. 13.

    “We’re taking it day by day right now,” Cobb said. “We’ll see come tomorrow what more we find out and we’ll go from there.”

    Meanwhile, right tackle Bryan Bulaga sustained an ankle injury late in the first quarter and did not return and defensive back Micah Hyde exited with a neck injury about 5 minutes into the second quarter. Hyde was taken into the locker room on a cart but coach Mike McCarthy called it a “neck spasm.” McCarthy called more of a bruise than a sprain.

    Five stories (four are free) from #Packers loss up at http://PackerReport.com Not among them but need to write, thought Barclay played well.

    Gotta go back and re-watch game, but my gut reaction is Don Barclay and the reconfigured o-line did a pretty fine job blocking for Hundley

    But their run blocking left a lot to be desired. I know it was mostly backups against the Eagles' starters but not having a running game to speak of did Hundley no favors.

    I will say this in defense of the Defense last night. The most common way to deal with shotgun spread offenses that run has been to blitz A gaps to make initial run reads harder and provide pass rush.

    Packers rarely sent anyone and normally rushed four.

    Surprisingly, I wasn't concerned about the defense. Eagles had a short field all of the 1st half and Capers didn't blitz at all IIRC. Plus, it looked like they hadn't game planned at all for the Eagles. Putting Barrington on Sproles proved one thing, Sproles is gonna win every time.

    They could have done much better, but the Defense is not the worst of our problems. Special Teams........ugh, it's gonna be a long year.

    Barrington may/may not be the answer at LB, but Sproles will make most LB's trying to cover him look silly.

    As always, everything seems worse during the heat of the moment in a preseason game. We obviously have some concerns with injuries, special teams, defense, etc. What team doesn't have similar issues going into the season?

    The Packers treat the preseason less seriously than other teams. Perhaps this contributes to our slow starts the last few years, but I really have come to expect little except for some reps for the starters and determining the bottom half of the roster.

    Didn't hear anything about Dix. Cobb, Bulaga and Hyde were the only mentions

    The whole team should have come off the field looking like something was wrong....

    Seemed like he made a good tackle or force late in the 4th quarter, Red.

    He looked OK then.

    Did he get nailed later than that?

    i think so. i don't remember him coming back in after that. but my attention span was pretty much shot by that time

    Four starters out on the O-line, can't really be surprised if the blocking is poor.

    Watching a little of the Cardinal/Raiders game, enough to see a couple of Richardson runs. Bad, bad, bad. Don't see him having a job this fall.

    Not a good sign that Boykin couldn't even make the last round of cuts with Panthers. Their WR situation is bad with the injury to Kelvin Benjamin. They just traded for Seattle's Kevin Norwood.

    Jeez, what happened to this guy? Is he like Flynn and has an undiagnosed injury?
