More Banjo: Week 4 vs. Chicago

[gbgary]

saw a tid bit this morning that showed King has a better passer rating allowed in coverage than Patrick Peterson, Desmond Trufant, and Marcus Peters. he's the 6th most targeted cb in the league so he's given up some yards. so far he's faced Julio Jones and AJ Green. this week it will be Dez who only catches 40% of his targets.

i see the Packers slotted into the #2 spot on some of the sites. i don't understand that at all. 7-10 seems more correct at this point. idk

I suspect they are accounting for injuries and for preseason prognostications, most of which had the Packers as a prime SB contender. Which teams are clearly above the Packers right now? KC is the only one that stands out. You could argue for Pittsburgh but they're coming off a bad loss at Chicago, a team GB just finishing stomping and kicking to the curb. Detroit is another possibility but they have a habit of starting strong and fading. Philly is another possibility but they weren't expected to do much and will need to do it more consistently before people accept that they are for real. Same thing for Lambs. New England, Dallas, Seattle and Atlanta have struggled. I don't see any problem with ranking Pack 2-4.

The main take away from early season is the Packers have more depth on offensive line than anybody expected. Well, maybe Tex, but that guy is certified nuts.

I don't know how good they are, early part of season can be deceptive. Rodgers sure looks damn good to me.

hahahahaha Yeah right about the O Line, Harlan.

What we have is the world's greatest QB - who indeed does look damn good, as always. Mobility like he has makes up for a lot of crap in the O Line, but it sure would be nice to see how good he would be if he had blocking like Brady or even like almost any other QB in the league.

Once we get both Bak and Bulaga back our O line will only make Rodgers look even better.

The surprise to me was that Lane Taylor (Taybor) could play Left tackle. After the Murphy debacle that was an unexpected bonus.

Yes, it was good to see Taylor play LT so well. I feel a little better about the line this week if Bak can't go.

Now if he can play center, he's the next JC Tretter who was the next Mike Flanagan.

TAYBOR™ is getting fan mail now.

Hmm. "Norman Gratz" is either a young fan, or an old man.

If it's the former, it's sad that a boy in 2017 is stuck with such a name. If it's the latter, it's sad that a grown, probably old, man is writing fan mail . . . and to a long-snapper to boot.
