Official Packers vs. Raiders Game Day Thread

[Joemailman]

It's Brett Hundley Night.

Packers OL could be facing Bruce Irvin and Khalil Mack. Good test for the OT's. And for Hundley.

Obligatory game day post.

Might have a better chance to evaluate the WR's with Hundley playing. Callahan wasn't throwing to the WR's much.

Hoping to see Bradford build off of last week.

Just hope Guion and Clark stay healthy. NT is the one position that will worry me depth-wise until Pennel is back.

[texaspackerbacker]

I want to see our DBs pay up to their potential; I want to see our ILBs perform like only happened last year with Matthews there - and for at least one of them to step up and look like more than just a guy. I want to see Clark show STRENGTH and signs of being something special.

I want to see Hundley give an indication that last year wasn't a fluke; I want to see the first string O Line open holes and pass protect against the Raider first string D; I want to see Cook show that he is a top level player and deep threat; I want to see Mortell kick the crap out of the ball on punts and do a good job holding for Crosby.

Is preseason over yet?

[red]

Ummmm, dude just said the bishops charity game has made 4 million dollars since it was started, 56 years ago

That doesn't seem like a lot over 56 years for a team that makes as much as the packers

That's like a dollar per attendee, bishops charity gMe my ass. I bet they give WE energy more per game, or the water department

[Joemailman]

Obligatory 1st quarter time out.

[Joemailman]

Am I the only one who likes Tretter better than Linsley?

[Joemailman]

Little shaky at the goal line, but overall the running game looks great.

[pbmax]

Am I the only one who likes Tretter better than Linsley?

Nope. I like him better too. He can't pancake a DT while standing still like Linsey, but everything else is better.

If Cook at TE can threaten the middle of field deep AND run slants, Packers will set records.

[red]

OK, Eddie on the sideline with m3

It doesn't look like he's lost a single pound

I think you're forgetting how big he was last year. He's lost some weight above the belt.

[Joemailman]

Masthay booms a 36 yarder.

[red]

Not when he was just on the sideline sucking wind

You can't keep sucking in your gut when you're breathing hard

[red]

Well that's not good

Be nice for our backup an to get as much time as he can this preseason

Doesn't look like that's gonna happen

[dsilby]

Hello gang tackling, I like it.

[Joemailman]

Ankle biter!

[dsilby]

Pull everyone. Nothing else I need to see now.

[Joemailman]

Spriggs got schooled by one of the best.

[dsilby]

Mortell with a 58 yard kick. Granted, it bounced. but still.

[hoosier]

Yeah, but I bet he doesn't keep it up. Witness his next one, only 54 yards.

[Rutnstrut]

Mortell with a 58 yard kick. Granted, it bounced. but still.

Doesn't matter, they'll keep captain shank.

[Joemailman]

Maybe the Raiders will take their starters out so some things can be evaluated. Not a fair fight right now when the Packers have the ball.

[Joemailman]

Another ST penalty for Goodson. I think he's in trouble.

[dsilby]

Doesn't matter, they'll keep captain shank.

I don't know what Masthay has on this team. There has to be someone else on this team that can hold for Mason.

[Harlan Huckleby]

What's all this posting? Game is tomorrow, you morons.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Am I the only one who likes Tretter better than Linsley?
I'm on record expecting Tretter to be the man.

Not sure how I didn;t know the game was tonight. Did Hundley play tonight?

[Joemailman]

Nice TD run by Crockett.

Callahan isn't very good in his progressions from the pocket, but he can make some plays with his legs. Reminds me a little of Matt Flynn as a rookie.

[Joemailman]

Hurt his ankle again early in the 2nd quarter.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Gotta feel a bit sorry for the dude. But he's lucky he's not competing for the job.

[RashanGary]

Callahan is good. I have a really good feeling about him. Athletic. Good arm. Confident. And the game looks slow for him. He looks good under pressure. I'm a fan!!

[dsilby]

Crockett has to make this team.

[pbmax]

I feel like there is some real athleticism on this Defense now, even with the backups. Thomas played very well and Bradford had a very nice stop and McCarren thought he buried a couple of Guard blocks in good manner.

If he is functional along with Thomas and Martinez, they should have a solid depth chart. Which is a huge step up from last year even without Matthews.

[pbmax]

Hundley re-injured the same left ankle apparently.

Gonna be awhile before we see him again.

Gunter misses his block on the wing and Tim Masthay's punt is blocked for a touchdown. "Sergio" Tavecchio misses the PAT. 20-12 #Packers.

Octopus Gunter has not made the 2nd year leap.

I doubt it's a serious injury. If it is, I wonder if the Packers make a move. Would they go into the season with Joe Callahan as their backup?

McCarthy: Brett Hundley's doing good. Just saw him in the locker room. Same ankle as last time, don't think it's as bad. #OAKvsGB

Translation: Hundley to IR

Don't be daft. That was the opening line of his eulogy.

[ThunderDan]

Translation: Hundley to IR

Hundley was rolled up on but his ankles got free before Mack broke them. I am guessing he is good to go week 1 if needed.

I believe I am on record here a year ago as saying Tretter will eventually win back the spot from Linsley. I thought it might happen last year, but this year they need to decide what to do with Tretter going forward.
