Official Packers vs. Seahawks Game Day Thread

[Joemailman]

There should probably be a medal for any of the eastern time zone 'Rats who watch the whole game. Then again, who doesn't want to stay up until 1:00 A.M. to watch 3rd stringers?

Things to watch:

LG battle: Bulaga continues to get good reviews, but Colledge hasn't done badly.

FB: Quinn Johnson needs to do some really positive things on a consistent basis. I think he's on the outside looking in right now.

RB: Great chance for Quinn Porter to shine with Lumpkin and Starks nursing hamstring injuries.

WR: James Jones seems to be pulling ahead of Jordy Nelson. Driver may not play, so both should get plenty of reps tonight.

CB: Would like to see Underwood eliminate mental mistakes. Woodson may not play, so he and Lee will get plenty of reps at CB and Nickel. Also hope to see a lot of Sam Shields.

DL: Where is Justin? Is he on the field?

S: Hope to see some progress from Burnett. Will be watching Derrick Martin who looks to be improved this year. He could make Bigby expendable.

ST: I'll take a reasonable amount of competence on the return and coverage units after what we saw last week. Bryan had a pretty good week of practice. I sense he is pulling ahead of Mastay, but the games are what matter most.

I'm gonna be in a house full of Chicken Hawks fans. I'll be bringing a "nice" platter of cheese. Also bringing chicken to throw on the grill. Nothing says "Hawks lose" like dead, burnt bird, from the grill.

I'm hoping to see Underwood and Lee play with a clue, but I doubt it's going to happen.

How does playing a board game help them win at Football?

[Lurker64]

According to Bedard: Barnett, Woodson, and Driver were all left in Green Bay because McCarthy wanted to limit wear and tear on those guys.

More according to Bedard: Woodson, Lumpkin, Starks, Joseph, Hawk, Barnett, Jones [Brad], and Driver all didn't make the trip.

Our starting LBs are going to be Poppinga, Bishop, Francois, and Chillar... so don't expect the defense to look respectable.

I am mobile tonight but will be checking in from a wedding reception. Keep the updates with scores pouring in while I ignore social obligations.

Agreed

Quinn is too consistent -- either blows up his guy or whiffs

RB: Great chance for Quinn Porter to shine with Lumpkin and Starks nursing hamstring injuries.

Agreed

Unsure who is the current #3

CB: Would like to see Underwood eliminate mental mistakes. Woodson may not play, so he and Lee will get plenty of reps at CB and Nickel. Also hope to see a lot of Sam Shields.

Agreed

Agreed

How many deep passes are being completed? So far so good with Burnett.

ST: I'll take a reasonable amount of competence on the return and coverage units after what we saw last week. Bryan had a pretty good week of practice. I sense he is pulling ahead of Mastay, but the games are what matter most.

Toss-up


Nice overall assessment.

[rbaloha1]

* S Atari Bigby, CB Charles Woodson, RB Kregg Lumpkin, RB James Starks, LB Alex Joseph, LB A.J. Hawk, LB Nick Barnett, LB Brad Jones, WR Donald Driver.
* Jones has a shoulder sprain that happened Thursday night. Didn't make the trip.
* Lineup changes: Brady Poppinga for Matthews, Desmond Bishop for Hawk, Robert Francois for Barnett, Brandon Underwood for Woodson.

Let the competition begin!

It's not really a competition when the backup is playing because the starter is out. I just hope Bishop doesn't look like a retard out there tonight, as is his wont.

Hawk is out. No more Bishop excuses.

Well, I agree with you in the sense that if Bishop doesn't look good, he had better damn well stop whining about not getting enough playing time. This is his "put up or shut up" moment.

[Lurker64]

Our backup LBs in this game are Frank Zombo, Maurice Simpkins and Spencer Havner. Maybe we should play like a 4-2-5 or something.

Oh wait, also Obiozor. So we have 4 and 4. We're still down 7 preferred starters on defense though.

[imscott72]

Really interested in seeing Harrell perform tonight, along with Colledge and Baluga..Go Pack and let's keep everyone healthy..
