Who the fuck is 31?
There's 91 players and some numbers have been retired. And nobody gets 12.

The rookie kicker sucks!
He's the guy who just scored. Emanuel Wilson.

Nice run by Wilson against the scrubs.
Yet another missed PAT for Carlson. Not good.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
Wilson has been making some plays in practice too.
Paging Mr. Crosby.

I thought the NFL has liberalized numbers, like, a cb can now wear 5.
82 returning punts. The Packers have a white WR but not a single Black TE on their roster. What the hell is going on?
Not on this team. That's Hournug's unofficially retired number.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
Love looked good against scrubs. Clifford looked good against scrubs. Wicks has game. Wilson can fly. Carlson won’t make the season. Starting D played well against scrubs. I like our WRs. Valentine is a keeper.
I’ve seen players wore 5 in past years. Besides, the NFL forbids the Packers from retiring the number - to punish Hournung for his gambling ordeal.
MLF said Tyler Davis has significant injury. Bring back J-Mike.

How'd love look? I missed the first part of the game but I thought the second string guy actually looked pretty good. This team seems like they going to overachieve if I was playing armchair QB.
Seriously? If true, that's really fucked up.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
He played pretty well. Missed an open Musgrave on one pass. Threw TD pass to Doubs. Had deep pass to Watson broken up. Love and MLF said he needs to do better job of looking off the safety.

I got to see the game on NFL Network - thankful for that, but not thankful for having to listen to the damned Bengal commentators and their stupid interviews while seldom naming Packer tacklers. I had to have my roster numbers handy most of the time.
It was a fun and entertaining game with a lot more to be happy about than not.
We got a big load of LaFleur offense and game planning - for better or worse. I was thinking early on that Love and then Casey were throwing into some tight spots and making it work. Then, of course, it bit the team in the ass a couple of times. Questionable whether those throws that Rodgers never woulda tried were a net positive or not. Tonight, they seemed to be, but going forward, who knows.
Similarly, Joe Barry's D was in full bloom and especially noticeable in contrast to the way the Bengals played. From first string all the way to the lowest scrubs, it was all out often blind penetration and pressure - again, for better or worse. After the first play or two, I don't think we had any sacks, but there was a ton of "hurries". We'll see going forward whether that is a net positive as well as whether Barry is any more than a one trick pony. I saw a lot of open space in the middle of the field that the Bengals didn't do a very good job of taking advantage of. Other teams very well might be able too.
Jordan Love looked solid but not great. Casey, you could say, looked great but not completely solid. I'm guardedly optimistic that if the rest of the team is as good as I think it is, the QBs aren't gonna make it a loser.
The receivers looked excellent from top to bottom. Toure, Wicks, Heath, and Reed all looked like keepers, Musgrave is gonna be a star too. The 3rd - 6th RBs all looked good, which means the back up O Line mostly did ok. Ditto that on pass blocking. Either they were very adequate or Love and Casey were mobile enough to make them look good, take your pick - I'd say a lot of both.
On D, the back up Corners did great Valentine and Ballentine especially. Hopper (the other 27) late in the game was decent too. Also, surprise surprise, Jean Charles had a decent game. There was a lot of good team D the whole game with hardly anybody in the front seven or Safetys standing out. Late in the game, Anthony Johnson looked good, but that was against the bottom scrubs of the Bengals.
Duds, if any? Early on, 34 - Simone Biles' husband - looked kinda out of it. Quay Walker didn't do much and was beat at least once. If Tariq Carpenter even played, I didn't even notice him. Engabare, who I really like, was kinda a disappointment. Leavitt, despite lucking into an interception, seemed to be a liability on D. Carlson, after making me think positive early, looked horrible with the two missed extra points.
On O, I saw Rhyan get beat at least once, and of course Newman took a large step toward playing himself out of a job. Caleb Jones and Tedford seemed to do good, but they probably won't be around when the season starts.
All in all, it was a decent start.

Nice job by Slaton taking on double team, and Wyatt fighting off block to make play. http://https://twitter.com/BenFennel...68672378810368
A couple nice moves by Karl Brooks. http://https://twitter.com/DaireCarr...62603443249152
Good breakdown by Dan Orlovsky on two misses to Musgrave that Love needs to improve on. http://https://twitter.com/danorlovs...48724562591744

I went to Packers camp for a week with my daughter, and I wish I had time to post about it—because one guy that really stuck out to me was #31. I told my daughter that he looks like how I want my RB to look. He looked like the third best RB on the team to me. He looks how I thought Nichols would look, but with more speed. I like that guy.
