    #Packers who did not practice today: Barrington, Boyd, Boykin. Matthews was a full participant, B. Jones was limited.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    I watched Minnesota against Atlanta and they looked good. Asiata and McKinnon at RB consistently gashed Atlanta. Their receivers are top notch...as good or better than ours. A lot hinges on whether Bridgewater is ready to play. The kid is the real deal. Also, they're banged up pretty good. Kyle Rudolph and Greenway are also big injury question marks. If Bridgewater and Rudolph play, it could be a nail biter.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    The Vikings have the best O-line in the division. They will definitely be able to run on us. We have to play good coverage and not miss tackles. Their defense doesn't scare me, but if we make too many mistakes, it's a game we could easily lose.

    Must win game against a divisonal foe. Pack will win.

    Had to sell our tickets because I am on vacation.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    Could be thunderstorms during the game. Don't think you can predict who that might favor. Kind of depends on who can hold onto the ball the best.

    Yep, he did.

    Lotta old school screens, too. they have one screen from the wide side with all the receivers throwing blocks for the wide screen man. It was a cool play.

    AT UL, TB would have a great game, maybe two. Then an average game, followed by one or two stinkers.

    I'm rooting for a pipe bomb game for the rookie.

    His mobility is cut down, let's heat him up and run him outta Lambeau.

    Black QB? Shheeeeiiitttt, that be like Kryptonite for the Packers. All we need is Mobb (aka Infamous) here to sing his praises and the Pack is fucked. Hate that pesky kneegrow.

    My prediction is this: The Packers run off the field at halftime, losing the game, and the fans are showering boos down upon the team and the coaches.

    Defense will be gashed, offense will sputter.

    The second half? I dunno. But I see them stinking up the joint in the first half.

    Rudolph is out.

    They actually have a very nice 1-2 punch with Asiata and McKinnon at RB now. Asiata is a guy that can get what's blocked, very solid in short yardage and a pretty good receiver. McKinnon is an athletic freak with raw talent that can bust one from anywhere on the field. This is what I think the problem will be. We can stop their passing game but can we stop the running game? Recent history say NO.

    The Vikes will look to slow this game down by pounding the ball on their end. Forget Bridgewater. Their gameplan cannot possibly consist of them trying to win a shootout with GB.

    Confirming what @McClain_on_NFL reported earlier, the #Texans have signed CB Jumal Rolle off #Packers' practice squad
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    If you're the Vikings OC, wouldn't you run the jet sweep with Cordarelle Patterson 15 to 20 times? Or until Green Bay proved they could stop it (which would probably be sometime during the 2016 season)?
