I'll be back in the Midwest--in Wisconsin even--this weekend. Haven't been back in a year. I'll actually be able to watch the game on live broadcast, in Packers territory. Wow. It's been a while since I've been able to do that.

[Freak Out]

I am pretty much surrounded by Seahawks fans here.....it will be a brutal week if the Packers can't find a way to get it done.

[esoxx]

I will be going to this game and have had it circled on the calendar since the schedule was released.

After I witness the Packers kick the shit out of the Seahawks, I will move on to the "acceptance" stage with regard to the 2015 NFC Championship Game result.

[Tony Oday]

We are going to get trucked in this game. Our WR will not get open and AR will be under constant pressure. Lynch will run 180 for 3 TDs...this is going to be bad.

[Bossman641]

Over/under on the # of times we see the ball bouncing off Bostick's facemask this week?

I'm a little concerned for this game. With Cobb injured, the WR weren't getting a ton of separation against Chicago.

Defense needs to tackle a hell of a lot better. After Forte torched us, you know Seattle will test the perimeter of the defense. Still, great chance to put Seattle in the 0-2 hole.

Need one yard, you pass and its intercepted. People complain.

Need one yard, you run and fail. People complain.

He isn't playing, so ZERO. :)

[3irty1]

After the Rams founds some holes in that D this week I hope MM can widen them. Watching Tavon Austin do whatever he wanted makes me want to get Montgomery more involved.

I don't love the matchup with their offense anymore. Since we last played them they've gained not one but two pro bowl TEs. Their only good WR is a slot guy and then obviously there's the ground threat of Lynch and Wilson. Its like they were designed to feast on the soft underbelly of the Packers defense. I hope our inside jag-backers are ready for a challenge. Having Burnett ready to go would be nice.

And they lost a pro bowl Center. A team that is run oriented added a TE who can't block at the expense of an All Pro Center. Not sure their offense is scarier.

I don't think its scarier overall, just scarier for us. I wouldn't expect Unger's loss to be noticed as much in the running game as the passing game. Especially since that Nowak guy looks like a mauler.

[Striker]

Just keep the ball away from Lockett on punts. And hope they can take Lynch down.

...I'll probably be buying quite a bit of Graham and Lynch in DFS this week.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Just keep the ball away from Lockett on punts.

Lockett is the real deal. (Excellent slot receiver too.) If Masthay kicks him a low liner, watch out.

JS Comments @JSComments
Offer the Texans - Hundley, Adams and two first rounders for JJ Watt. Texans aren't going anywhere soon. Would help them rebuild.

[smuggler]

Couldn't part with Adams this season. Not with Jordy out. And couldn't afford Watt. But, frankly, sending two firsts for Watt seems like a bargain when you consider we've spent first rounders on guys like Derek Sherrod and Nick Perry. Datone might be in that category, also.

[Harlan Huckleby]

It would take a Herschel Walker deal to get Watt

[smuggler]

No doubt. Prohibitively expensive just in terms of draft picks. Then you've also got to pay him.

[Packers4Glory]

so this is the week I'd have expected AR to throw for under 200 yards....

I think the one big area where Nelson being out shows up is when plays break down and Nelson isn't running to an opening that AR is looking at. It seemed like there were always a couple times a game AR scrambled and found Nelson extending a route for a big play.

Packers right tackle Bryan Bulaga did indeed drop out of practice with an apparent injury. Practice is ongoing but the team should provide an update after.

[Joemailman]

I found this pretty shocking:



Michael Cohen @Michael_Cohen13
WR Randall Cobb did not participate in team tackling drills.

In other news, Aaron Rodgers was not on the kickoff coverage team.

[Teamcheez1]

Reading the tea leaves, it sounds like Bulaga re-injured his knee. We could be looking at Barclay starting on Sunday (and then some).

New from JS: Matthews will have radio receiver in his helmet against Seahawks http://ift.tt/1UYpSpw #Packers

I could be WAY off base, but this would seem to indicate that either Palmer had some issues, or that he will not be on the field every snap. Because as a two position player, Matthews isn't a natural for the radio.

I think Matthews will be primarily inside now. I also think that Jake Ryan may get more snaps against Seattle. The Packers may have gone exclusively with Palmer against the Bears because of Forte's prowess as a receiver.

Packers T Bryan Bulaga avoided a serious injury, according to a source. He did not sustain an ACL tear in practice today. Initial diagnoses is sprained MCL. Missed only one game with same injury last year.

:tup:

[Harlan Huckleby]

Losing bulaga is way worse then losing jordy. Our o-line depth is shit

Probably better depth than most years, though, they are good at guard/center. Barclay has had a couple more weeks to train and recover, we'll see. Backup tackle is never very good. I wish the Packers had force-fed Walker into the tackle position in preseason, rely on Tretter-Lane inside.

Barclay is a better RT than Left. I'm just glad Bulaga dodged a bullet and we didn't lose him for the season.

[hoosier]

Down a Bulaga, with a hobbled Cobb and Burnett, and with a lot of unknowns at inside linebacker. This could be a repeat of last year's season opener.

[Bossman641]

This is feeling like one of those seasons again injury wise.

[Upnorth]

Defensively Seattle is not what they were last year, so even with the Nelson/Cobb injuries we still have a slight advantage. My concern is how do we deal with Graham and Lynch?

[Bossman641]

MM already declared Bulaga out for Sunday night. I'm having nightmares of Irvin/Bennett terrorizing Barclay.

[pbmax]

Well I always look forward to the late season surge anyway. :D

[Packers4Glory]

Lynch may run for 200 and Rodgers better get the ball out quick.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Husky Mike tossed-out teaser that Tretter could start at RT. Not likely.

RT and LT are such specialized jobs. Seems to me if you have 4 backups, 2 ought to be focused and get reps to play tackle, 2 tuned for g/c. I would have played Walker strictly at tackle just to build-up some depth at the position. Lane Taylor is fine at guard.

[George Cumby]

[Teamcheez1]

Morgan Burnett now listed as questionable on the injury report. I guess we should expect a lot of missed tackles from our safeties again this week.

[wist43]

Well, Forte had 165 yds of total offense and 1 TD; and Bennett had 5 rec 55 yds and 1 TD - against dunderdummy last week...

Pretty sure we can discount the 54 minutes of fairly dominant ball in the NFCCG as being nothing but a fluke - and the 6 minutes disaster that followed to be much closer to the norm. Dunderdummy rarely cares about stopping the run. Situationally?? He will always invite an offense to run at him, and it doesn't seem to bother him when he gets run over.

[Guiness]

So, if I am reading this accurately...

1. Dom Capers very rarely cares whether his defense stops the run.

2. When his defense gets run over, it doesn't bother him.


Now this is why I come to Packerrats: incisive analysis, penetrating logic, careful, thoughtful conclusions.

No, he challenges them to do one or the other. Typically its the run, but in the NFCCG he challenged them to pass. Russel wasn't up to it which is why we had 54 minutes of dominance. Its also why the seachickens traded for Jimmy Graham. They need a TE to stretch the middle of the field against that style of defense. Problem for them is that Graham isn't really a middle of the field TE, he is a WR.

http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasyfootball/update/25305982/packers-te-richard-rodgers-may-have-neck-injury

but then this came out


9/17/15) The reports of a neck injury sustained Thursday in practice by Packers tight end Richard Rodgers might have been a false alarm. He is not listed on the team's injury report, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Rodgers was seen talking with team trainers after a tackling drill, and it was presumed that he might have injured his neck. Upon the release of the practice report, though, he didn't make an appearance, which clears away that potential concern.

He is expected to slot into the starting role Sunday night against Seattle.

[pbmax]

Is it just selective memory that this always seems to happen the week before facing a great pass rusher? Jared Allen (bikes version with Cliffy hurt), Peppers (with Bears Cliffy hurt), Tamba Hali (both tackles hurt), Jason Taylor (Clifton hurt).

[Rutnstrut]

You would really think they would have found a competent back up tackle since Bulaga seems to be the fragile one on the line.

[Joemailman]

Barclay has started 18 games in the NFL. That's probably more than what most teams have as a backup. Good offensive tackles are hard to come by. Packers have been fortunate to have 2 good ones most of the time.

[mraynrand]

So, if I am reading this accurately...

1. Dom Capers very rarely cares whether his defense stops the run.

2. When his defense gets run over, it doesn't bother him.

ya, it's selective memory. Remember 2007, when the Packers went into KC, and Clifton totally shut down Allen. That was a thing of beauty. That punk was so beside himself with frustration that I remember him saying some incredibly stupid things (even for him) in the post-game conference. Hurts to be owned, for sure.

That was fun in '07. It also occurred to me that part of the problem with looking at the opponent is that the Packers have had 2 or 3 very good pass rushers in the division as their tackles got old. Pepper, Allen and Avril existed at the same time, which is six games that don't look like fun with Tackle injuries staring you in the face.

Getting Jason Taylor for the out of Conference game just adds to the persecution complex. Until Tausch and Cliffy got old, it was never a real concern.

Can confirm timeline of 4-6 weeks for Bryan Bulaga's return. @RapSheet & @AlbertBreer 1st to report Packers tackle had torn meniscus surgery

[denverYooper]

Bulaga being out again is concerning but but this is a good game to play at home with the Seahawks in a bit of a bind. I have a sneaking suspicion that Rodgers pulls out a classic tomorrow night.

What's the over/under for Holding calls on Barclay...I set the line at 3

[Harlan Huckleby]

Barclay has started 18 games in the NFL. That's probably more than what most teams have as a backup. Good offensive tackles are hard to come by. Packers have been fortunate to have 2 good ones most of the time.

I agree that it is hard to find 2 good tackles, and very few teams have 3.

Just because Barclay has 18 starts does not mean he is a good backup. He is not the player we saw in the past. There's a hope he will return to that form. I think the packers put too many eggs in his basket.

[pbmax]

Barclay has also had another 2 weeks to knock the rust off. He might be a sight better than the preseason version at this point.

I hope.

[red]

i think tackle needs to be the #1 priority for the draft next year and its time to move on from bulaga, the guy just cannot stay healthy, and he's not the greatest when he is healthy

[Joemailman]

Bulaga has been injury prone for sure, but he's one of the best RT's in the NFL when healthy. They'll stick with him. However, 2015 was the first time TT didn't draft an offensive lineman, and that probably won't happen again. So, it's certainly possible TT will draft an OT early, especially with Sitton, Lang, Bakhtiari and Tretter all due to be FA's in 2017.

[Pugger]

Barclay has started 18 games in the NFL. That's probably more than what most teams have as a backup. Good offensive tackles are hard to come by. Packers have been fortunate to have 2 good ones most of the time.

Well, Barclay is better on the right side instead of the left...

[Harlan Huckleby]

Barclay has also had another 2 weeks to knock the rust off. He might be a sight better than the preseason version at this point.

I hope.

Ya, I agree. I know you aren't that high on Walker - short arms, little dick, whatever (and then there are Josh Walker's shortcomings) - I wish they had pushed the kid harder to be the backup RT. Both Bulaga and Barclay are injury-riddled and iffy. Relying on Barclay to come back to old form is tough bet.

[pbmax]

I like Walker a lot as a do everything backup and at Guard. He doesn't have great reach or feet. So LT is a definite stretch for him.

[King Friday]

Packers have to throw to win in this one. The Seahawks aren't going to let Lacy get going. Like Brady did against Buffalo, you need to come out firing passes left and right and the receivers need to step up.

Considering the opponent and the proliferation of Green Bay ankle injuries in the game, that's a good guess. But Green Bay is too classy to suggest anything along those lines.
