Official Ravens Week

[ThunderDan]

With our present turf that has some synthetic fibers in there I don't see us having another mud bowl again. I heard they are going to put in a new field with those same fibers again this spring.

They rip out the turf after the last home game of the year. The put in a new field every year. Taking a stadium tour during the summer is fun because there is nothing in Lambeau Field but grass. No field goal posts, no painted lines, no players benches. Just a large lawn inside a stadium.

#Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers acknowledges that rookie CB Kevin King's injured shoulder 'has been an issue.' Kid has toughed it out, but it is a problem.

OK. How long has he had a shoulder issue?

He left the field in the Saints game holding the shoulder. He went right back in, but then really winced on another tackle.

I think Spriggs will be ahead of McCray at left tackle. McCray had his struggles there are well.

What about right tackle?

[mraynrand]

What shape was the field after they resided it?

I dunno, but the ABs resting on the resided felled through perfect passes.

Well, NE could use another corner...

Someone on Wilde’s Twitter feed said he hurt this shoulder his senior year and hand to wear a brace.

he wore a hand brace for a shudder?

Exacto

I think that was a signature win in the Mike Sherman era, correct?

I think it's funny to watch us as Packer fans overreact one way, then another. On Sunday morning we - myself included - were debating the merits of firing Capers, of tanking to get a better pick, of cleaning house altogether. By Monday morning, we were calculating the Packers' playoff chances - this year.

I am going to try to view this season through the lens of narrative - what will the story be this year, besides Rodgers's injury? I will be curious to see if and how Hundley develops as he plays more, which players step up, whether the defense can stop a decent passing game at all, and so on. Should be interesting, especially regarding Hundley's development and the development of the rest of this year's rookie crop.

I also think that the Damarious Randall story is interesting - he's actually playing pretty well these days.

If only they could rush the passer.

I don't expect much, but will follow with interest and, I hope, less frustration and anger than I felt after the Lions game.

I'm still on the tank and fire Capers bandwagon. I am hoping TT pulls a sherman, but doesn't piss on himself. Hundly improves, we package him with our 1st at about 15 and move up to pick 7 and get a big time pass rusher.

Whenever I see the word "package" I assume the trade proposal is gonna be a doozy. (I have no idea what Hundley's value could be.)

first

i really hate the fucking throwback uniforms

too many different colors, and the pants look horrible with the blue and gold

second, i've ridden on the back of the baltimore d and special teams almost all year in FF. they're pretty damn good there

and it look gorgeous

i had to have someone associated with the packers point out the fake blades of grass. even on my hands and knees with 2 people pointing at one i couldn't see it

i'm guessing we're gonna bring back a-rod, he's gonna win out, and we're still gonna miss the playoffs meaning we'll be picking in the 20's

and unless hundley improves A LOT, we aren't getting much for him. maybe a 3rd rounder if we're lucky

Baltimore has a really good pass defense and a really bad pass offense. Could make for an ugly game. Might as well wear the ugly uniforms.

Have no fear, SPRIGGS™ is here!
