Official Packers vs. Lions Discussion Thread

Let Rodgers get a solid 2 TD, 200 yds, and 130+ rating in the first quarter and a half or so then let the JLove show take over. Use the second half to sling it and get some answers about JLove. We need JLove throwing and running a proper offense.

I expect Rodgers to play 1st quarter and then Love handles the rest of the game.

why risk rodgers for a single snap? he doesn't need the practice, he stays in form in real practice

[Harlan Huckleby]

Love handles. Hmm.

good catch, dirty old man

Because he wants a game to pad his stats and give Devante the record and get himself an MVP award.

I don't worry about Rodgers so much. He'll likely get hit very little. I worry more about a guy like Clark who gets double-teamed every play. Or Campbell who is in on so many plays. Or any of the O-linemen. It's a gamble they're taking. But going 3 weeks between competitive games would be a gamble too.

#Packers coach Matt LaFleur said that practice squad WR David Moore will not be available to be elevated to the 53 because he's on the COVID list and Amari Rodgers will return punts. He said he wants to get Rodgers more involved with the offense Sunday, too.

Summary of LaFleur's Friday presser: Aaron Rodgers is playing; Jaire Alexander, Randall Cobb and David Moore won't play; C Josh Myers will come off IR and play; LT David Bakhtiari will play only if they feel good with where he's at following two days of practice.

Asked Matt LaFleur why #Packers QB Aaron Rodgers needs to play vs. Lions. He does not agree with the premise: "I don't think he necessarily needs to play. I think he wants to play and keep the momentum going."

Sounds like a collaborative choice being made here.

Wow. So Myers and Bakhtiari both might be back on Sunday?

[RashanGary]

Bakh is questionable. It would be nice to get him a little playing time before the post season.

Man Keke is just fragile.

Man Keke is just fragile.

Italian, is he?

With Moore being in the picture going forward - playoffs and next season, this may be put up or shut up time for Amari Rodgers. He needs to carve out a role for himself in the offense in addition to maybe looking better as a returner.

[Teamcheez1]

Zadarius is done as a Packer.

[texaspackerbacker]

Is that an opinion? Or have you heard something?

[Joemailman]

Probably an opinion, but it's probably right.
