More Banjo: Week 3 at Washington

[channtheman]

Its more positive, absolutely. But the same flaws were obvious. I don't expect Cobb to be dropping that many passes again, but even with 2 more catches, its not a guaranteed win.

I think there were 4 drops that directly ended drives. And 1 Rodgers pass behind Adams that killed one too. You're right those plays don't mean a win, but they would have kept the D off the field and prevented so many points by Washington.

Packers DT Muhammad Wilkerson stayed behind in the DC area last night following his horrific looking ankle injury but will return to Green Bay today. Wilkerson was carted off and taken to an area hospital after teammate Kentrell Brice rolled into his...

Yeah, it wasn't just the drops or fumble, it was the circumstances of them that was killer.

Packer Report @PackerReport
Wilkerson stayed in Washington - procedure he needed before he could travel. "Significant" injury. MM has no more details.

McCarthy on the hit on Rodgers: "clearly, I think we all can safely say that play could have warranted a penalty."

McCarthy: I'm all for Kentrell. In other words, no lineup changes coming at safety.

MM on Bulaga: Hurt on TD pass before halftime. Thought Spriggs held his own. Doesn't have update on Bulaga's status.

Jones hit "target" for playing time after missing first two games (and much of training camp). Likes three-man rotation.

"Absolutely" MM says of Hunter Bradley still being the snapper.

Injury to Bulaga (and McCray) factored into decision to not take a timeout at end of half.

McCarthy loves character of team "but we've got to get working."

Mike McCarthy said rookie WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling would have received the special teams game ball had the #Packers won Sunday. He forced two fair catches, downed a punt at the 2-yard line, made one tackle on kick coverage and another on punt coverage.

Biggest difference in the second half for the Packers defense: They stopped the run, and Pettine dialed up some really effective blitzes on third downs.

Rookie long snapper Hunter Bradley had four snaps that sent JK Scott scrambling Sunday. Brett Goode went entire seasons without four bad snaps.

the best news is that the rookie is even costing more then goode did

goode was cost 370,000. new guy starts at 480 and it goes up every year

so its not like we even got worse to save a couple bucks

nvm. spotrac is all fucked up. goode made about 900,000 last year

so we are saving money

What does this mean? They didn't take a knee after Wash scored, they ran 3 plays and called 2 timeouts. The team couldn't handle an extra couple plays or 40 seconds I guess.

"At 1-1-1, Browns are off to their best start since 2011, when the immortal one, Pat Shurmur, led them to a 2-1 start."

Oops, I didn't even bother to look forward from 2004....

AFTER THREE GAMES

Same as the Vikings (Kudos To Rick Spielman) and half a game better than The Cheaters.

I have no idea what he is talking about here. It would make sense if he had Rodgers hand off three times.

Who is that photobombing along with Rodgers?

boyle?

[pbmax]

Looks like Cobb is in on it too.

[bobblehead]
