The Official 2020 WK 2 Lions-Packers GameDay Thread

2-0 I'll take it, gonna have to play way better next week, hopefully clark can go

[Rutnstrut]

centers aren't a dime a dozen but the Packers have great depth at that position.

You better hope they don't need to test that "depth". Just because a lineman is listed as a backup center doesn't make them a good center.

[MadScientist]

Hopefully Linsley is ok. I know a lot of you guys think centers are a dime a dozen. But he does a great job and there will be a large drop off with any replacement.

I don't think anyone who remembers the Jeff Saturday season would think that.

Fucking centers? You’re talking about fucking centers? Are you fucking kidding me? Fucking centers?

They're not a dime a dozen, but the Packers have had success finding good centers with later picks.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I think McCarthy, a moment ago, burned a time out just to challenge a play, which he lost.

Lost 2 Timeouts just to challenge the play.

Orangutans are smarter than McCarthy (and Tony O’Day), eh?

Most teams have a quality starting center. I know McGinns personnel guys say taking one in the 4th is awfully high. Rounds 5-7. Most teams have a good one cuz they’re the easiest position to fill.

Baconator finally turning the corner. Looks like a force when he can tee off (like bobble foreshadowed)

Offense is really really good

Defense desperately needs 97 if we have a chance in n’orleans

Also lowest paid position in nfl for same reason. Close to kickers in pay. Same for draft slot.

Word.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Maybe centers are easier to find because they don't need to be real big.

What’s up with the Fresno Fraud and his hammy?

Interesting (and funny) to wade through 12 pages of posts, especially after a win.

I predicted 41-20 in the game week thread - a little off, I'll have to do better next week hahahahahaha.

As APB said, we ought to be able to cook the cap to keep Aaron Jones as well as Linsley and everybody's favorite, Bakhtiari, even Kevin King, maybe even Jamal Williams. As I have said so many times, the decision makers apparently didn't see the draft needs as nearly as much as what a lot of posters thought. I've heard it said, the reason we drafted Love was to motivate Rodgers. I don't exactly buy that, but it certainly has been the result. I also said we were already good at WR. I'll double down on that now. MVS will be a star in this league if he outgrows the drops. As it is, he is damn good. Lazard is solid too.

I hate all the throwing to TEs, especially Sternberger who I've hardly ever seen anything good from. If they must use the TEs, though, Tonyan should be the one.

Good job LaFleur of keeping the foot on the gas with a lead. That's a major difference from McCarthy.

I was beginning to drift toward the "fire Pettine" crowd, but he shaped up a little bit as the game went along. For a long time, I've said I wished they would use more zone coverage. Today, they apparently did - with good results.

I'm hoping they held out Kenny Clark today with the idea that they didn't much need him against the Lions, and he will be back ok against New Orleans. Ditto that with Davante Adams late in the game. He played ok and looked pretty normal after the injury, so there is good reason to hope.

They took the best shot of a fired up team, and went on to kick their ass. This is gonna be a great season.

Shitty Series...just Shitty Offense!!!

do shitty offenses often score more than 40 points?

Technically there was a pick 6 from the defense.
