Official Packers vs Buccaneers Discussion Thread

Not sure why all the angst. I'm actually feeling pretty good about this game. Yes, the D will be tough, but think MLF/AR are figuring out how to be successful with this new offense and I'm not sold on the TB offense doing much against our D, especially with their injuries/suspension.

If they are without Evans and maybe Godwin, etc. too, we should have a distinct advantage. Hopefully we can load up to stop the run and trust our Corners to shut down what's left of their passing game.

I'm not worried about Fournette. Without the threat of a QB to run the ball our D can play more traditional. I wouldn't be shocked if we give up less than 20 this week. The real Q is can we score 20 vs. a very stout TB defense.

No Evans, probably no Godwin or Julio.
They will have Scotty Miller, Russell Gage and Perriman. Possibly Cole Beasley? Is that worse than GBs receivers, and by how much?

Honestly I expect a bit of a rock fight of a game here with defenses winning more often than not. I do not expect a shootout, but who knows. Florida is generally not kind to GB, especially September games.
Even if they lose, they could still be 5-2 after NE, NYG, NYJ and WAS.

The heat and humidity are going to doom the Packers. They just wilt in that September Florida heat and humidity.

Most of the country, but not including Alaska (sorry Freak!) will get Packers at Buccaneers. Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen with the call. Pacific northwest, including Alaska, and most of Georgia will get Atlanta at Seattle. Chris Myers and Robert Smith with the call. Southern California and Arizona will get Los Angeles Rams at Arizona. Kevin Kugler and Mark Sanchez with the call.

Well..............fuck. Looks like I'm stuck with Falcons/Seasquawks.

Not good news at WR. As a result, Travis Fulgham signed back onto practice squad 3 days after being released.

Dobbs better pick it up, with all the other receivers not practicing.

[MadScientist]

Hicks is out for Tampa.

That's an injury that could linger for him for a while.

Sammy Watkins (hamstring), Randall Cobb (illness) and Mason Crosby (illness) were only 3 players not practicing today.

[SudsMcBucky]

Watkins ruled out for Sunday.

We had 80 degrees in Green Bay up to a couple days ago. They should still be conditioned for heat.

Watkins, Watson, Cobb on the Pack side; Evans, Gage, Jones, and Goodwin from the Bucs. Could these teams go 5 wide if they pooled their remaining WRs?
