I just noticed that we are getting the Jets off their bye week. Ok, some things are a fluke, but getting 3 teams off their bye week out of 4. Are you fucking kidding me....someone call the NFL and tell them to get a fucking scheduling clue. (on the road no less in 2 of them).

Teams can come out of the bye flat as a pancake too. Why do think the NFL would conspire against the Packers in its schedulemaking? Isn't that a little like saying that the refs always have it in for the Pack...until a game like last night when the Vikings apparently got hurt by bad calls more than GB? -
Well, the refs missed some calls that would have helped GB as well. Frank Walker CLEARLY ran out of bounds before deflecting the pass that was picked off in the endzone. You can't run out of bounds and be the first player that touches the ball. There is an official along the sideline to catch things like that. And Walker was all the way into the white. Can't imagine how a ref could miss that. Percy Harvin was clearly out of bounds twice too. And the NFL needed instant replay to get the call right even though there were officials right on top of the play(s). If you look at the officiating as a fan of the game, take the Packer fan out of it, the refs were brutal last night. Both teams got screwed. But oh well, nothing can be done about it.Comment

Matchup nightmare IMO. We'll have to score on defense to win this one.70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Al Harris.Comment

Who is the third team anyways? The Dolphins, Jets, and ?
I think its just two teams off their bye weeks.70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Al Harris.Comment

The buzz was that we played Washington off of a bye but the schedule shows that to be false.Originally posted by 3irty1When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro ~Hunter S.Comment

Their pass defense is 22nd and their run defense is 6th. Obviously stats don't say it all ,but the Jets won a lot of game that could have gone either way. Revis is playing pretty bad, injury or not. They depend on their blitzes a lot so we can easily take advantage of this with screens or our WR's winning one on one battles with their CB's.Originally posted by 3irty1Comment

Yeah I meant the other side of the ball. MN did whatever they wanted in the running game last night and we're about to play a team that is every bit as good. Defensively they are pretty good too but I honestly don't think their secondary is any better than ours even if Peprah plays. McCarthy always seems to find a way to run it on a good run defense though.Originally posted by steve823
The matchup is similar to that of the Dolphins only the Jets cornerbacks and OL are a tad better IMO.70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Al Harris.Comment

Jets have a huge edge in this game...we are still incredibly beat up as a team...the Jets will be well rested and well prepared and at home.
The Packer offense is going to have to show up for us to have any chance to win. Even then, the chances will be slim.
At this point, I'm fine with a loss to the Jets...as long as we get the W against the Cowboys the week after.My signature has NUDITY in it...whatcha gonna do?Comment

That's why I'm really hoping Jenkins and Picket are able to play. Even one of them will help us a lot.Originally posted by 3irty1Comment

Packers aren't gonna win them all, and losses to AFC teams hurt the least. If the Packers are going to have a chance, they need to be efficient on offense. Jets will probably have the ball at least 60% of the game, so the Packers have to make their scoring chances count.I can't run no more

Honestly, I'd rather have guys sit out for the Jets game if they aren't at least 85% healthy. We are extremely thin on the defensive DL...we need guys to get healthy for the long term. Continuing to play guys at 75% and risking reinjury (like Pickett experienced yesterday) is foolish...it winds up putting you right where Green Bay was yesterday, playing Zombo at DE. Chalk up the Jets game as a likely loss and save your ammo for the games that matter most if the guys still aren't healthy.Originally posted by steve823
A week of rest next week...one game against the Cowboys...another off week after that. For guys with lingering injuries, that would be the best case scenario at going into the stretch run at least marginally healthy. We need the games against DAL, ATL and MIN far more than we need the NYJ game.My signature has NUDITY in it...whatcha gonna do?Comment

Bullshit. Fans pay money to see the stars. Companies advertise their products during games to reach the biggest audience possible.
Players in the NFL are professionels and are paid accordingly. Many, if not most, would be illegal drug salesmen on street corners if the USA didn't have the greatest system around.Comment

Like the preseason when the healthy starters sit on the bench? Yeah...us season ticket holders have to buy those games also to keep our tickets.Originally posted by Tarlam!
But to the real point, I wouldn't find letting guys get healed over the next week and a half, play Dallas, got another week and a half to rest. Losing an AFC game doesn't hurt our tiebreakers nearly as bad as a loss to an NFC Team would.But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.
