The Official Packers-Lions Discussion Thread

Moore looks like a more imposing Anquon Boldin and James Jones. We need to get him involved in the way we envisioned when we drafted him.

I am thinking that Moore will become famous or infamous this week. The opening is there and he was the first drafted because he was more polished.

Option 1: Moore has 6+ receptions, 100+ yards, 1 or 2 TDs

Option 2: 3 bad drops and he is stapled to the bench for the rest of the season.

Halfway through training camp J'Mon pretty much admitted that he was nowhere near ready, playbook-wise. Has that changed? If he's not up to the mastering-the-offense task yet, Rodgers isn't gonna want him in there, let alone throw in his direction.

Looks like Cobby ain't gonna game. Fuckin' milksop.

Time to sign Dez.

Well this is why we drafted so many WR's....

Could be a tough game. Rodgers bitching after an incompletion or interception. Young receivers throwing up their hands, not sure what they did wrong.

Ruh roh.

Two tight end sets, baby! Then when the Lions play one high safety, you sneak the young tight end, Tonyan, out into the middle, going long.

Go with Ravens' triple tight end sets (assuming Graham's knee holds up). Line up Lewis at Guard and send him on a slant. Hell, the refs don't even see that crap.

Rodgers: Trust, but verify!

Funny how two people can see the same thing and draw entirely different conclusions. Watching that play, I saw a running back who had no chance. There were white jerseys all around him when he went down, so even if the slot receiver (whom I think was Allison) had blocked the corner or safety or whatever he was, that run wasn't going for more than three or four yards.

I'm still thinking old-school philosophy, apparently, though when I watch this Packer offense the past couple of years it's hard for me to agree that a good QB in a decent offense can very often complete a ten-yard pass. If anything, the whole exercise seems to have become more and more laborious over the years, at least for Green Bay. This year particularly there are lots and lots of passes close to the line of scrimmage or (before he got hurt) Rodgers trying, over and over, for the Big Play.

I don't know enough about the ins and outs of the game to know why that seems to be the case. I sure would like to see a few ten-yard completions.

I think we see the same thing. Except that is Williams is a touch faster he doesn't get tripped and its at least 3 yards, maybe more.

But if he gets clear of the LOS and can square up, I think its more like 10.

Needs better execution. Which is the problem because the Packer offense hasn't been engaging in a lot of long, successful drives. Way too may half drives to FG range.

Cobb is out. Geronimo is a "hope" to clear concussion protocol. Gonna see 1 or 2 rookies out there wide. King is back.

Bills Game

[Rutnstrut]

This would be a great game for GB to run the fuck out of the ball. So stubby won't.

You should read the article in the other thread. Stubby deliberately ran the ball against Buffalo to get the line reps.

[Fritz]

So Bashaud Breeland never plays a single down for the Packers, yet he is already injured.

Sheesh.

And now Whitehead might not play? Or Brice? How's Damarius Randall doing in Cleveland?
