Official Packers vs. Bengals Discussion Thread

McManus injured his kicking led in practice.

I say bring in Younghoe Koo just to piss off the Mailman. Mailman ain’t been too fond of Asians since Yoko Ono supposedly broke up his beloved Beatles.

“I’ll deliver mails to the Blacks before I deliver mails to the yellows.” - Mailman.

Side note (and joke aside), I have a friend who is a mailman in Milwaukee. Cool dude. Got to stay at the Venetian in Vegas due to the dude. Ain’t no way a burger flipper making $15/hr can afford to stay at the fucking Venetian.

Spread on this game is 14.
No way MLF can figure out a way to win by 14.
He’ll keep it close to the end by trying to run out the clock after halftime.

Didn't he beat the Lions by 14?

No facts allowed unless they align with the current narrative.

R. Walker not practicing could mean Jordan Morgan starting at LT. Could be a Wally Pipp moment.

This makes sense. He might get comfortable if we don't move him to his 4th position played by week 6 (5 games)

Anthony Belton and Devonte Wyatt not practicing.

Rasheed Walker (quad) returns. LaFleur said they will “see what he can do today.”

Anthony Belton, Christian Watson and Devonte Wyatt out.

Is there a rule that these reports have to be accurate? I could see the Bengals sandbagging us about Chase. If he isn't known to be newly injured, they could be just trying to mess with Packer preparations on D.

Listened to a Packer podcast - Aaron Nagler, I think? - and he was aggravated the Packer fans get worked up about the injury report. Said it’s fact that the Packers “overreport” their injuries- the have no more than other teams, but report more rigorously. He was absolutely adamant.

I dunno.

But the Wyatt injury is concerning long term. When he plays hurt he’s not effective, and it looks like this will be a season-long thing.

Will he be in-and-out all season?

Not promising for him getting a second contract with the Pack.

I think Nagler is probably right. The Packers almost always have a significantly longer injury report than their opponent. I think it's hard to believe that that reflects the reality of the situation.

I think there's a decent chance Wyatt gets a 2nd contract from the Packers. His injury history will likely impact the amount of guaranteed money he gets.

The Packers signed kicker Lucas Havrisik after Brandon McManus tweaked his quad this week. No change in McManus’ status. He remains questionable.
