    "Young" is the key term We have to remember, this is a group of very young guys. AJ Dillon is 25 and he's pretty much one of the elder statesmen on offense. So you've got a bunch of 21 - 24 year-old guys going to New York city, and for a couple of weeks now they've been told their shit don't stink. What young, athletic, fairly well-known young guy isn't going to get puffed up?

    And sure, it's on the coaches to keep that from happening, but these guys are human, and very young ones, at that. I have to imagine a few of them will be chasing the bright lights/big city/ tight puddy on Sunday night.

      If the giants had lost the last two maybe. Also the media dissing on the big SNF upset and discounting the Packers is a good thing. Plus Love has a cutiepie fiancée so I doubt he stays out too late.

        I think the biggest concern is the Packers, and whether they think they'll win just by showing up.
        The NYG stink this year, but they are going to come out swinging haymakers in a primetime game as home underdogs and coming off a bye.

        GB better not play sloppy or come in complacent or it will be a rough one. They have a realistic path to the playoffs with a very soft schedule, but they shouldn't overlook or underestimate anyone.

          Teams coming off a bye usually start off with a little rust. We’re gonna get out early and hopefully keep the foot on the gas.

            I think the fact that the Packers lost to the Giants last year will help in that regard. It was the first of 5 straight losses. I bet MLF won't let them forget it.

              Aaron Jones (knee) was participating in Thursday’s padded practice at Nitschke.

              Christian Watson and Darnell Savage were not practicing.

                Jesus. Guys get hurt, come back, play one game, and out again. I don't know if they're holding Savage out as a precautionary measure, but it doesn't seem a good sign.

                Given the pattern, Jones will play Monday night, then be out again for two or three more games. And what about Jaire? Cripes, if he's out again, you wonder why they didn't put him on IR.

                  Hard to believe that Jones is even practicing after the injury. I was sure he tore his ACL.
                  But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

                      Very worried about this game due to Barry’s defense shitting the bed against a bad offense. This is the exact kind of game where Barry ball finds a way to keep the Giants in the game, and it becomes a fourth quarter coin toss instead of a solid win.

                      I expect the Giants to run for over 135 yards, and I expect the Packers will need a late red zone stop to earn a victory.

                        I think Savage will play unless he aggravated something. He played quite a bit vs. KC, so I think it's precautionary.
                        Jaire's injury is a problem. He's a smaller CB and has now had two shoulder injuries. Hasn't had a great year, been hurt, and costs a lot of money.
                        Stokes has basically been around for half his contract so far. No wonder they keep bringing CBs in (Rochelle, Long Jr.)

                        re: NYG, Barry and the team in general better not shit the bed. Pretty simple from a defensive standpoint - focus on stopping Barkley in the running game and make DeVito beat you. They'll be able to pressure DeVito, especially if they are in obvious passing downs.
                        Get a good start on offense, and prep for another aggressive defense. Martindale like to blitz. Love did a nice job diagnosing and calling his 'can's' or 'kills' at the line, he'll need to do the same this game. KC's D is better than NYG's, and if GB can get an early lead should win this game.

                          Second straight day for Aaron Jones in his return from the MCL sprain.

                          Darnell Savage (chest) returned after missing yesterday.

                          But Christian Watson (hamstring) & Quay Walker (shoulder) were no gos again.

                          And Elgton Jenkins (shoulder) didn’t go after limited yesterday.

                              Jaysus, guys are going in and out of the lineup like a revolving door.

                              Quay Walker seems an increasingly important part of this defense.

                                I wish we could’ve gotten rid of Jaire.
