#Packers RB Jamaal Williams is believed to have suffered a knee sprain last night, source said. MRI to confirm. But likely to miss time.

Good thing they kept all 3 rookie running backs. I knew they'd be needed.

Well the if is already a no.

Cobb came back strong in a week from a "chest" injury; Hopefully Montgomery's ain't any worse. I wouldn't bet against him playing in the Cowboys game.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Darrell Thompson? The Gopher?

Yeah that one. Sorry got the Thompson Twins confused.

[call_me_ishmael]

So what happened to Randall? We all know he left, but nobody has elaborated as far as I know. Wilde was alluding to him being done with the Packers supposedly??????

[pbmax]

Weird. I saw Williams being more effective with a worse O line (2nd team versus a few D starters) in preseason.

But he was not explosive. Just seemed to hit the correct hole and push forward. He might be just a guy. But I'd like to see him get more than 4 carries before writing him off. Jones is smaller than Monty, though at 5' 9", 208 pounds looks different.

If Monty is inactive, might get to see Mays too.

[run pMc]

Montgomery has cracked/broken ribs. We'll see if he plays at Dallas, and how much. It looks to my untrained eyes like Williams isn't quite patient enough (yet) and isn't waiting that half beat for the blocks to develop. It's also hard to tell with a patchwork OL. Jones seemed to do better, so who knows.
On that note, you gotta give the OL some credit for holding up against the Bears, as well as MM actually tailoring the play calls to limit Rodgers from getting hit.
Vogel did really well.

I'd also like to thank Mike Glennon and give him a honorary Cutler for gifting the Packers 4 turnovers. That was the key to the game IMO. Without those, this game would have been very different. The Bears played very sloppy, and it warmed my heart to watch the Pack regain the lead in the all-time series.

Anyone still think the only thing keeping Randall from the pro bowl is injuries?

I have said in the past, he showed the same signs of being completely lost before the injury and well after the injury, no we see it again this year

His problem is in his head.

Last night he gets beat bad, then he does his trademark dance that we see every time he gets torched. He throws his hands up and throws a fit because there was no help. But, like most cases, there was no help to give him. It was his fault. He mopes his way to the bench still throwing a fit and sits on a bench far from his teammates and won't talk to anyone. He then gets benched at halftime. House is seen on the bench, he says he was trying to get his head back in the game. At this point, the whole team is standing and watching the game, except Randall. And some point he either leaves on his own, or told to go the fuck home. He's gone from the locker room before the game is even over

This kid is damaged goods, and an immature, me first little diva

Cut the cord

Adams is home from the hospital with just a concussion, nothing more

Great news

Agree with everything you said except the last sentence. Maybe the kid is a reincarnation of Ahmad Carroll...but maybe he's still salvageable. Just move him down the depth chart and let him get his head straight. He might just come around. He's got the tools.

[mission]

Did you guys pay attention to the reply on that touchdown that 23 gave up? He jumped (literally hopped) the slant route that wasn't even there. Every other defender had a matchup, have no idea who he thought was supposed to help him. Or why he jumps at the snap. Horrible mechanics.

[pbmax]

He does need to get his head straight. And the communication issue seems to be fixable. Don't throw him overboard yet.

But in better news:

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 30s30 seconds ago
Packers RB Jamaal Williams MRI results came back negative - no ligament damage, purely muscular, per source. Could miss next game, not more.

randall got into an argument with an unnamed coach on the sideline and was sent to the locker room, which he then left before the game was over

Chicago had that long, methodical drive in the 4th quarter to bleed the clock.

I saw that and my only response was, "Wow". Not even Dez or any of the other "prima donnas" in the NFL left the stadium when throwing their fits.

What's going on in his head?
