Official Jacksonville Week Gaggle

[Harlan Huckleby]

Go look now...

Holy Wildcat, Batman. Dean Lowry is a starter!!! Hey, I loved that guy as a player at Northwestern. Very smart, practically unblockable. I just didn't hear great reports fom camp. Glad to see it.

Michael Cohen @Michael_Cohen13 3m3 minutes ago

Edgar Bennett on Pressley: It’s still early for him. He’s learning our system. You see certain things on practice field. More playbook now.

Bennett likes where offense is at. Even with nine passes from Rodgers in preseason, no reps in preseason by Nelson and remade O-line.

Packer Report @PackerReport 4m4 minutes ago
Campen says chemistry is not an issue. A lot of reps past few years with Bakhtiari, Taylor and Tretter.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 4m4 minutes ago
Campen on OL chemistry. Lane has taken a lot of reps. We repped them well and they take extra time to make sure they’re up on mental side.

Michael Cohen @Michael_Cohen13 25s26 seconds ago

Trap game has a specific meaning, and it cannot apply to the first game of the season.

A trap game occurs between two bigger, more high profile matchups. A game that a team could easily overlook because of what came before and what is coming after.

As in to spring a trap, close two sides around an extremity.

lol yeah,sure,right, what ever?

no, a trap game is when the team everyone thought should win ,doesnt, against a seemingly weaker opponent.
this is that game with no momentum going anywhere at the very beginning of a season.

it doesnt matter what you call it. My point is obviously this is not a gimme even though everyone and their mother perceives it to be.

Debunking the Trap Game and Letdown Game Myths

Let me begin with trap games. As Schatz writes, there is no widely-accepted definition of a trap game, only the mushy understanding that sometimes good teams lose to bad teams when they have a “bigger” game against a better opponent the following week. In this narrative, the good team doesn’t take the bad team seriously, and is focused on the good team coming up the following week. For this study, I defined a “trap game” as a game between a team that finished the season above .500 against a team that finished the season below .500 that occurred one game before the above .500 team played another team that finished the season above .500. (From here on, I use the terms “above/below .500” to refer to a team that finished the season above/below .500.) There are many other ways to define a trap game, but I think this one is true to the soft understanding of the term without overly restricting the sample size.....

Gimme? We are only favored by 4.5.

[gbgary]

short-handed (due to suspension), hot weather, first-game-of-season rust, big-expectation pressure...don't know how anyone could call this a gimme. i wouldn't be surprised if we lose this one.

Seriously, how does a team not get ready for opening day in the NFL? It is the week with the most hype of all the weeks until the playoffs.

Who ever said the game was a gimme? I was saying it isn't a trap game. The Pack will be ready and come out firing. That doesn't mean the Jags won't be ready either and could win.
