Packers vs. Rams Discussion Thread

[Joemailman]

Packers lead all-time series 49-47-2. 47-46-2 in regular season, 2-1 in playoffs.

Last Meeting: December 19, 2022. Packers defeated the Rams 24-12 at Lambeau. Packers defense held Baker Mayfield to 111 yards passing and sacked him 5 times. Aaron Jones rushed for 90 yards and A.J. Dillon rushed for 2 TD's.

Matt Stafford has started all 8 games for the Rams but may not play this week due to a thumb injury. He has thrown for 2070 yards with 8 TD's and 7 INT's. Kyren Williams had been their leading rusher but is now on IR. Puka Nacua is their leading receiver with 795 yards and 2 TD's. Cooper Kupp missed the start of the season but is playing now. Rams defense is respectable but is not producing many turnovers.

Packers are favored by 3
Moneyline: Packers -166, Rams +140
Over/under 39.5

Fox Early - Most of midwest and west, including Alaska will get Packers vs. Rams. Adam Amin and Daryl Johnston with the call. Northwest Wisconsin, Minnesota, Dakotas and most of the southeast will get Vikings at Falcons. Chris Myers and Mark Schlereth with the call. Northeast will get Washington at New England. Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma with the call.

How are we favored to beat anybody at this point?

Probably because they don't know if Stafford will play.

Haven't heard any news on Stafford; if he doesn't go it's Brett Rypien at QB. Rypien doesn't scare me, but Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams do. If LAR get the running game going they won't need to throw.
Aaron Donald is still a problem for OL's around the league and will give Myers and the rest of the interior OL fits. Could be a low scoring game, especially at halftime.

Kyren Williams is on IR.

Ah shoot, that's right.

Packers run D is so bad Kyren could run for 140 on them, even on IR.

[Bretsky]

two bad teams playing each other.

Packers with an injury report shorter than their opponent's!

[Fritz]

two bad teams playing each other.

The TV gods must hate this matchup.

I thought, like many, the Packers would beat the shitshow that is the Denver Broncos, but no, so it’s getting hard to picture the Packers beating anyone, even at home with an opponent who will likely be starting a second-string QB.

The Packers don’t even look like a team with no talent. They look like a bunch of guys who have never stepped on a field together before and are getting instructions from the sidelines in Russian from a pee wee soccer coach.

The play where it was an RPO and none of the receivers ran routes was pretty funny --and horrifying.

How about the 2 win vikings punking the class of the NFC. Its almost as if you can't completely make 100% conclusive opinions based on 5 games huh? Who wudda guessed.

My prediction for the game. We are frustrated as hell. We bemoan the fact that we can't stop the run. We wonder just how bad it might have been if JJ had played. I bitch that Yosh is riding the pine while Love is being flushed. Skin gets drunk and makes an ass of himself while filling out an app to McDonalds so he can further the transformation to APB. Tex sees the positives in everything. Red calls for everyone to be fired including the water boy. Fritz is happy its not Detroit eating our lunch this time. Rastak stops by and offers something classy and several of us tell him to fuck off.

That about sums it up.

I copy/pasted this from last week. I don't see much changing.

Edit: except maybe I bitch that yosh finally is getting his chance and not playing with enough fire.

WILDE and TAUSCH, two of the best Homers, seems to be starting to turn.

I will say this....BOTH OF THEM.....often note, they think way more of Yosh than the Packers coaches and GM do

Rudy Ford not practicing today. Could be down to Jonathan Owens, Dallin Leavitt, Anthony Johnson and Zayne Anderson at Safety. Anderson and Leavitt are primarily special teams players.
