Official Panthers Week Discussion Thread

[Joemailman]

Packers lead the Series 9-5.

Last meeting: November 8, 2015. Panthers outscored the Packers 24-0 in the 2nd quarter to break open a close game. Packer made a game of it, getting inside the Panthers 10 yard line before an INT.

MM: Rodgers scan results in evaluation process.

[Joemailman]

MM: Yesterday's game graded out as one of the worst of the year. Too many mental errors.

[George Cumby]

Taking a page from Lombardis playbook, I see.

[Joemailman]

Panthers ran for 216 yards yesterday against the Vikings #2 ranked run defense. That's my biggest concern.

[pbmax]

"What the hell is going on in this film I'm watching!"

[red]

this game is gonna be very very tough even with a-rod at 110%

[texaspackerbacker]

Yeah, what red said.

[Freak Out]

If Rogers comes back for the Panther game he'll be motivated. That's good right? lol. If he does indeed come back this week I believe its the start of something big.

[Fritz]

I don't see how this defense can keep Carolina from scoring fewer than 34 points.

Well that would be better than 60.

[mraynrand]

Is Carolina's offense better than the Steelers'?

[Fritz]

Is Carolina's offense better than the Steelers'?

I don't know. Last year I went into severe Eeyore mode at the end of the season and nearly single-handedly took this team all the way to the NFC Championship game, despite the lousy drafting of TT, the erratic, miserable play-calling of MM, and the bad hairpiece and communication of Dom Capers.

I'm just trying to work that old magic again. After I read online about how horrible all the above are at their jobs, the only way I can figure that they got to the NFC Championship game last year was due to my hyper-negative predictions each week.

It's hard work, but we've all got to do what we can to overcome all the incompetence at 1265 Lombardi. Or wherever it is they work.

Without Aaron Rodgers Starting Vs Carolina the Packers will likely, based on the following Data, lose the game.

For any REAL chance we need to see Aaron Rodgers insist on coming back.

Thank God that Hawaii wasn’t a Canadian territory when the Germans bombed it.

[channtheman]

When will we find out if Rodgers is playing?

Does the team have to announce it by a certain day or do we just find out come game-time Sunday... "Oh look, #12 is under center!"

I don't recall when they have to tip their hand, but I love the scenario you present.

I've been thinking that as well, make them game plan for both QB's. Although it's probably not real tough game planning for Hundley.

It had to be 'Divine Providence' to win that game in Cleveland; as it was going Vs the BROWNS.

The Green Bay Packers looked horrible.

The bottom line was written:

The Green Bay Packers win in OT. The Packers are alive for a possible Playoff position.

The game this week in Carolina will be a difficult test.

The Panthers are playing decently Vs tough NFC teams (See the last two weeks below) and their Star TE Greg Olsen is back for his second week after being out with an injury. This Guy is a big concern.

Packer Report‏ @PackerReport

Rodgers is practicing. Perry and Goodson have returned and are practicing. No Josh Jones (personal), Ryan or House.

Packer Report @PackerReport
Among highlights of Rodgers, he says there's a lot of juice left in Nelson. Hints he intends to get him going on Sunday.

Rob Demovsky @RobDemovsky
Aaron Rodgers: "I'm not coming back to save this team. I'm coming back to play quarterback the way I know how to play. Hopefully we all raise our level of play." http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-0732719889030061783-4 …

Packer Report @PackerReport
Rodgers "has been preparing himself for this moment," MM says.

Packer Report @PackerReport
"Injuries are part of this game," MM says of the risk of Rodgers coming back this week. "You have to go through all the steps."

Packer Report‏ @PackerReport
"We've got to play better," MM says. Team understands Rodgers' impact but nothing is a given. More well-rounded team through this.

Packer Report @PackerReport
McCarthy notes that Carolina's front seven might be the best they've faced.

Packer Report @PackerReport
Team had to put together two game plans, McCarthy says. Late night for offensive staff, he notes.

Packer Report @PackerReport
McCarthy on the corners: "We've got to go play." A lot like last year with the injuries. Points to Randall and Hawkins; expanded roles of Jones and Whitehead.

Packer Report @PackerReport
Panthers coach Ron Rivera on conference call with a simple "yep" on expecting Rodgers to play.

Tom Silverstein‏ @TomSilverstein
McCarthy on Hundley: I think he's better than he was the day he stepped on the field in Minnesota. I think that's obvious. I think he's better all the way around.

If you go to the Packers' website and look at photos of yesterday's practice Lucas Patrick is wearing a huge club on his hand like Perry did. I don't recall hearing he hurt it before.

He popped up on the injury list a bit ago during the week. It was just around the time Lane Taylor was getting healthy and people were worried they'd be down two guys that week. Taylor played I think and Patrick was inactive I think. Maybe a month ago?

[pbmax]

Josh Jones miss practice yesterday as he and his wife/girlfriend had a baby.

[Guiness]

What happened with Goodson? Seems like he came off the PUP list after his knee and was immediately moved to the injured list for a hamstring. Did he play at all or hurt himself in practice?

[Tony Oday]

Josh Jones miss practice yesterday as he and his wife/girlfriend had a baby.

Pffft only cares about himself not his team.

[pbmax]

Injured his hammy.

i don't recall knowing there was a Lucas Patrick even on the roster. lol

[gbgary]

Injured his hammy.

and from other comments MM made the last few weeks i don't think he's really ready to play. yes he's medically cleared but, like Jordy when he first came back, he not close to 100%.

[Pugger]

i don't recall knowing there was a Lucas Patrick even on the roster. lol

:lol: I was looking at photos of yesterday's practice and I saw this lineman with a club so I looked at the roster to figure out who he was.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Goodson was a limited participant but it had nothing to do with injury.

[pbmax]

Tom Silverstein‏ @TomSilverstein

No changes at #Packers practice except that safety Josh Jones is back. Jake Ryan (knee) and Davon House (back) both out.

[mraynrand]

I think the game will depend on whether John, Ulrick is active (not telling you which way leads to victory)

[Guiness]

Panthers have a long injured list to be sure. Who do they even have at WR with 4 of them listed?

[pbmax]

Spriggs has a hip and was a limited participant today. Only Ryan and House missed practice entirely.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Seems like Ahmad Brooks has been on injury report for something or other all year.

[Freak Out]

Seems like Ahmad Brooks has been on injury report for something or other all year.

He'll show up when it counts....the playoffs. LOL

[pbmax]

All is well.


Jason Spriggs will make his fourth consecutive start at right tackle when the Green Bay Packers face the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

Spriggs showed up on Thursday’s injury report as limited participation (hip) but coach Mike McCarthy wasn’t concerned about his availability on Friday morning.

“Not a concern for Jason,” McCarthy said. “Just following the procedure of if someone has to come out of practice for a few reps. So, I look for him to be fine.”

It's Troy and Joe calling the game for most of the country.

"That's a disgusting act!"

[pbmax]

Our House
Is Out
In the middle of our street.

Spriggs, Ryan, Goodson and Perry are questionable. All including Ryan have practiced in limited fashion. Brooks, Dial and Patrick were full participants.

The Panthers injury report is a snow job. Only four of the 38 players listed did not practice in full this week.

Football Perspective @fbgchase

Did you know: the two best run defenses by YPC have a 5-22 record. The 5 worst run defenses by YPC will likely make the playoffs.


Packers currently are tied for 10th best at 4.0 which is impressive for ILBs who have zero instincts. It also probably means teams prefer to pass.

[mraynrand]

Looks like we're getting the game down here! :cow:

it's all about you, isn't it.
