Official Packers vs. Colts Discussion Thread

[run pMc]

The offense is going to be vanilla by necessity, and the new QB stares down receivers. The combination is not ideal for the Packers. The defense will have to look like a completely different unit than the one that shit the bed the final 3 quarters against Philly. Watching this game will be more curiosity than genuine excitement.

That's not fair, they shit the bed in the first quarter too. Well maybe not the defense, but still.

Philly's first two possessions were turnovers and all GB could do is kick FGs.
That, plus the penalties and poor 3rd down conversion rate told a pretty bad story that GB did not execute well the entire game. And yet they scored 29 and had a chance to win in a minute left in the game.

Joe Davis, Greg Olsen and Pam Oliver on the Packers-Colts call for FOX from Lambeau on Sunday.

Greg or Merlin?

Glad Pam Oliver is still able to ply her trade. She’s brave.

Fox Single - Most of the midwest will see Colts at Packers. Joe Davis and Greg Olsen with the call. Northwest Wisconsin and much of Minnesota will get Los Angeles Rams at Arizona. (Late) Adam Amin and Mark Sanchez with the call. LP of Michigan will get Tampa Bay at Detroit. Kevin Kugler and Daryl Johnston with the call. Northwest, including Alaska will get Seattle at New England. Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma with the call.

That’s because Marshmallow Lloyd was limited in practice.

Can’t see how Green Bay wins if Willis is under center. I suppose Indy could shit themselves, but I can’t see our offense putting up more than 13. If we win, it will be ugly.

Maybe we can pull a Steelers or Bears against them.

For no good, logical reason, I think the Pack will win this one, maybe more handily than we’d even hope.

I am however notoriously poor at prognosticating.

I didn't want to see Willis this soon, or at all in critical situations this year; but, now that it is what it is, I am looking forward to watching him. I look forward to seeing what they cook up for an offensive game plan, and how they might use his athletic abilities. He seemed to have an OK preseason this year, for what it's worth.

It will be interesting.

I don't like Packer QB's getting hurt, but I do enjoy the variability that a backup brings. Are you gonna get a Seneca-Wallace-like performance, in which the backup looks lost, lost, lost, are you you gonna get a Matty Flynn light-em-up performance, or a Brett Hundley very "meh" and middling performance?

I don't recall Green Bay having a running-type QB since they signed Bobby Douglas in the fruitless early-and-mid-seventies search for a QB. This should be interesting. I only hope I can get it on Sling TV, since the Loins game is going to be on here on Fox.

Seneca the Elder and Hundley had, to be generous, noodle arms. Willis has a live arm, but will likely have trouble with knowing what the defense is throwing at him. I'm guessing they will blitz plenty as that is where young QB's struggle. His timing with the receivers and ability to look off safeties will be a big worry as well.
