Seahawks Week @Lambeau

[red]

yahoo sports is the best for breaking news

It was yesterday. He was able to finish practice.

And he's not on the injury report.

[Tony Oday]

I saw that too Red and was of the same opinion at first then same opinion of Yahoo.

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.

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.

well dick rod went down today with a neck injury

we all know how those things turn out

I don't see any mention of this?

I did notice something else though that made me wonder what the hell is up - Lynch is listed on the Seahawk's injury report. He's listed as "probable, not injury related".
One thing is for sure, Lynch does what he wants

He started as questionable this week I believe. But he is now probable.

#Packers just upgraded SS Morgan Burnett (calf) from questionable to probable vs. #Seahawks.

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.

Albert Breer @AlbertBreer 3m3 minutes ago
From @RapSheet and I -- In addition his sprained MCL, Packers OT Bryan Bulaga also needs meniscus repair. Could be out a while.

Albert Breer @AlbertBreer 13m13 minutes ago
Just to add here, Bulaga actually already had the surgery to repair his torn meniscus. Likely out six weeks.

we were weak as hell at tackle before his injury (no i'm not a fan of bahk), wish we would have signed long before he was snatched up

i think we're in big trouble now, barclay at LT or RT looks to have completely forgot how to play the game

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.
