Eagles treating this like real game. Packers treating it like Family Night scrimmage.

[pbmax]

Cobb taken to dressing room.

What did it look like walking off the field?

On TV, he did not seem to land awkwardly on his hand/wrist. Almost has to be shoulder/clavicle.

i mention shoulder blade cause the way he landed and the way the guy landed on him reminded me of the a-rod injury

[pbmax]

Wasn't Hundley, Rodgers slipped on his route.

[pittstang5]

That's one - I said there'd be three and two would be back to back.

Here it comes

[pbmax]

Monty isn't afraid.

[ThunderDan]

Cobb looked fine. Not holding anything

[red]

another special teams fuck up

this is an absolute fucking joke

we're worse on special teams then we were under slocum

wow, monty has no speed. nice catch and run, but looked slow to me

[pbmax]

i mention shoulder blade cause the way he landed and the way the guy landed on him reminded me of the a-rod injury

You mean Rodgers clavicle or Butler's shoulder blade?

[red]

Cobb looked fine. Not holding anything
so did jordy unfortunately

I felt the big mo switch

[Teamcheez1]

Aaron Rodgers is not going to survive this season with the makeshift O line and no receivers.

He may decide to stay in the locker room at halftime.

Walker and Hundley can play. Walker is going to come in very handy first. Handley might if Walker isn't enough.

I can forgive a 12 man penalty in preseason, but the coverage looks worse than last year. Last year it was the one bright spot.

[pittstang5]

With everything going on, I'm not even paying attention to Barclay. He had a hold. Anyone else keying in on him.

[red]

hyde getting a ride on the cart to the locker room, one of his legs was extended, so i'm guessing knee injury

so maybe practicing like a bunch of kansas city faggots isn't the best way to stay injury free?

LOL

illegal formation on kicking team

this is horrible. we need to replace zook ASAP. before the next preseason game

what a mess

[pittstang5]

missed tackle, missed tackle...he gets 8 yards.

[pbmax]

2 players on lone RB wide. THEY BOTH GET JUKED WIDE and the rb cuts back inside for positive yard. Ridiculous.

[red]

is clay the only white guy on defense? and the rookie ILB that we have heard nothing from

we seem like a very white team when you look at our offense, but then i just noticed the defense

[red]

so, barrington is calling out the assignments on D. he just yelled at one guy to move from outside to inside. the play just went to the area the guy vacated for a first

is this gonna be a problem?

[pbmax]

Barrington roughed up?

[red]

and now barrington hurt

[red]

yeah, just stand there looking confused mike. you might be the only one in the stadium that is

Hundley is too. He's pretty heady for first year in WCO. Has some patience and willing to be in pocket. Needs to work on being more accurate.

Its dangerous because accuracy is as hard to fix as arm strength, but if he can do it, he's a bona fide talent.

Hyde out with neck injury.

the problem is, we don't really need him

if we don't get a high round pick for him in a trade the next few years, he'll be a wasted pick IMO

[Joemailman]

From the opening kickoff, Packers have looked like they weren't ready to play tonight. There's probably lots of reason for it but maybe having the team leader making it clear he doesn't want to play isn't a great idea.

I agree. Its like Favre's approach to the offseason late in his career. You don't get to choose.

Defense has no excuse though. They were all there.

[red]

Ok, now they're saying NOT a broken collar bone. Make up your fucking mind

why should guys like peppers or mathews have to play?

not playing a-rod tells the whole team this game doesn't matter, so why should any vet, not fighting for his spot, give a shit?

what's an AC?

[pbmax]

what's an AC?

The acromioclavicular joint, or AC joint, is a joint at the top of the shoulder. It is the junction between the acromion (part of the scapula that forms the highest point of the shoulder) and the clavicle.[1] It is a plane synovial joint.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/Gray326.png

its the joint that gets fucked up in a shoulder separation

so, it sounds like he has a separated shoulder with the severity being unknown

thats 5 tonight

[Joemailman]

Packers defense is more than half way to...

579!!!

Get Masthay the hell out of town. He's junk.

Dear Garth Gerhart. When you are beat cleanly, without touching the defender you are supposed to block, you do not get points for following through with good arm technique.

You need a functional backup and Tolzien may not yet be it. Handley has some first round talents for a fifth round pick. Its a steal for someone who can keep your team afloat and maybe win a game.

Never any guarantees, but as a rook he has looked fine. More importantly, after a slow start and being behind Blanchard, he has responded and played well.

[Strange Brew]

Hundley is a stud! White was below average until that 2-point conversion drop, now he's back to suck.

For the first time in a long time, its clear that the Packer backups are better than everyone else's backups. I wonder if this has everything to do with backup QBs?

Now the starters ....

You need a functional backup and Tolzien may not yet be it.

The chatter I hear is that Tolzien may get a chance to compete for a starting job somewhere else.

They probably could do that and get a WR. There have to be a half dozen teams he would start for. Jets, Bills, Browns at least.

Did we quit after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

[pbmax]

MATT BLANCHARD..................anybody else....like him better as a Packer than Tolzien ??

He seems to throw two balls. Deep sideline and WR screens. I swear I haven't seen anything else from him. If there was one less QB on roster, it would be easier to tell.

[pbmax]

Did we quit after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Packers quit before Sunday services tonight.

[pbmax]

White would be nice to have because he can get barely open or find the dreaded hole in zone and catch it. With an injured WR corp, that might look good at some point this year.

But Janis has got some long distance skills. He has hands to go along with the blazing white guy speed.

But Gunter will be the PS sensation to break through. That guy is like a force field around WRs near the sideline.

[Bretsky]

F'n Blanchard. Tolzien woulda gotten rid of ball.

yes, and skipped it to where he was trying to throw the ball

[Bretsky]

Janis looked better tonight than I've seen him look in past. Agree on White finding zone holes.....keep em both

Wes Welker is the only UFA out there right now and he really seemed like he took a step back last year. He should have never left Brady and Hoodie Genius

#ItsEnricoPalazzo!

[pittstang5]

What a clinic tonight. I think the special teams are my biggest issue. When will the bleeding stop.

[pbmax]

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.

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.

[Teamcheez1]

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.

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

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.

[Pugger]

Dix got hurt too???

[pittstang5]

Dix got hurt too???

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

[smuggler]

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

[red]

Dix got hurt too???

yeah, he got shaken up and came off late. not much mentioned about it, but he looked like something was wrong coming off the field

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

yeah, he got shaken up and came off late. not much mentioned about it, but he looked like something was wrong coming off the field

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

[KYPack]

yeah, he got shaken up and came off late. not much mentioned about it, but he looked like something was wrong coming off the field

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?

[Guiness]

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.

[red]

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

[Pugger]

I got the impression Ha Ha was absolutely exhausted by the time they finally took the starters out. Our guys were running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to subdue Chip Kelly's fast break offensive scheme all night long.

Jarrett Boykin released by Panthers

[Joemailman]

Jarrett Boykin released by Panthers

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.

[pbmax]

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

[pbmax]

Barclay graded out much better in pass pro in Game 3.

http://www.scout.com/nfl/packers/story/1581224-barclay-back-to-being-donnie

Think that is a free one.

[Fritz]

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


I wonder if his maturity level was badly injured after that supposed break-out year in Green Bay.

[wpony]

There must be something wrong with Boykins attitude I was just reading at one of the panthers sites that they were shocked when they released him he was 2nd for receptions on the team so far in the preseason with 9 and led with team in yds with 93 which dos not seam like many but that to me sounds like trouble with the system more than the wr, if that leads the team. With all the panthers troubles at wrs. this yr why would you get rid of your 2nd best WR so far in camp and they were saying at least he could catch the ball so it sounds like they have alot of drops there?

[red]

wow, does our second string suck

o-line not good

another shit punt that was almost blocked

[esoxx]

Saints receivers running unfettered through Packers secondary.

[red]

nice first route by abby

[pbmax]

Terrible route by White

[pbmax]

Palmer nice force filling from inside, but no one helped.

[pbmax]

Elliot has to find his way to reg season snaps

Rollins with nice force

Quentin Rollins Band with great inside coverage on 3rd

Abby can do punt return. No one else has that shake on the team.

[pbmax]

Based on pregame warmups, running back Eddie Lacy, receiver Davante Adams, offensive linemen Bryan Bulaga, David Bakhtiari and Josh Sitton, nose tackle B.J. Raji, linebackers Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers, and cornerbacks Casey Hayward and Sam Shields are healthy starters who will not play tonight.

Update: The only starters playing the opening series were defensive linemen Mike Daniels and Letroy Guion. On offense, tight end Andrew Quarless played the opening series. Center Corey Linsley and safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix were in uniform but did not play.

Burnett also a no go tonight

[pbmax]

Vujnovich got worked on left run from Left Tackle

If Ripkowski catches the ball the first touch, he goes for 12.

Walker gives up long sack on wide DE move.

[pbmax]

Janis has to run through the arrival of the ball on that one. It was on target to his outside shoulder.

Packer Report ‏@PackerReport 55m55 minutes ago
Vujnovich, Taylor, Tretter, Walker and Barclay the OL - left to right.

Barclay did not stay at RT all that long. Unless he was hurt, he seems safe.

[pbmax]

Packer Report ‏@PackerReport 52m52 minutes ago
Gunter and Randall, not Rollins and Randall, start at corner.

Randall demoted or locked up a depth chart spot?

[pbmax]

KO coverage at 4:50 looked competent.

[red]

Elliot has to find his way to reg season snaps



all he does is make plays when he's on the field

how can we not find a way to get him out there more often?

[red]

did they stop the game for that a-rod interview, or did we just not get to see the plays?

[pbmax]

3rd string O line can run block versus 2nd string D.

I think we stole Hundley.

Walker @RT got beat wide again.

[pbmax]

did they stop the game for that a-rod interview, or did we just not get to see the plays?

I got split screen for most of it.

[pbmax]

Going to be a dogfight for 3rd string RB.

[pbmax]

Damn. Nice slant through 3 defenders. Well timed throw and nice catch and aim for the end zone.

Janis is preseason Cris Carter.

Weston Hodkiewicz ‏@WesHod 2m2 minutes ago
Abbrederis, Janis and Pinkard on that last series. No White.

[red]

hundley has to be our #2, isn't he?

he's been damn impressive.

they keep talking up janis, which is nice, but that was a great series by ghetto brett

[red]

Going to be a dogfight for 3rd string RB.

rb's 3-5 are very very good

whats the chance that starks doesn't make the squad, or gets traded?

[pbmax]

Palmer's best game of his career. With a club.

[red]

abby just went from making the squad to maybe NOT making the team, in a split second

[pbmax]

Trades just rarely happen in preseason near cutdowns. And only for sixth/seventh round picks. Think they want the vet one more year.

Handley looks good, but think vet Tolzien sticks at 2 as well.

[pbmax]

abby just went from making the squad to maybe NOT making the team, in a split second

Yeah, not a great effort. He has blocking but had to choose better to avoid the next two guys. He went into congestion.

[red]

66 yard FG attempt?

wow

[red]

they have the confidence to let him try a 66 yarder, but they don't let him just blast the ball out of the endzone on KO's? unreal

and that return just summed up our special teams

[esoxx]

dp

[esoxx]

Hundley as a 5th round pick is a bank heist (think Brunell was a 5th rounder now that I think of it).

So, could we go from Brett to Aaron back to Bret? Wheeeeee!!!

[pbmax]

KO coverage win. Zook on a roll.

[red]

whew

pinkard just threw his hat into the WR ring

could they keep 6 and have White not make the team?

[esoxx]

A-Rod just might regret sitting out these last two games.

Kidding!!!!!!

[Strange Brew]

White stinks, Hundley is a stud!!

[red]

ghetto brett looked like redneck brett on that play

[Harlan Huckleby]

White stinks, Hundley is a stud!!

OK, but he scrambles like a high school QB

[esoxx]

Now that was a nice punt by Mashtay.

[red]

if gunter hasn't made this team, then i don't know exactly what in the hell an undrafted rookie needs to do to actually make a team

[ThunderDan]

Gunter looks like a hell of a pick up.

[pbmax]

Fanor is a tackling machine.

Gunter did not touch that ball, at least that is the way it looked that way on replay. He also gassed himself with that burst back to the WR.

[pbmax]

Joe Thomas, if he can cover, would be the obvious answer to the Philly offense.

[ThunderDan]

There's the cross dog blitz.

[pbmax]

During Pinkard TD drive.
