Rainmaker90 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 9 minutes ago, Howler said: We'll soon find out who's wrong. If he takes another 5 sacks this week, he won't make it to week 6 at the current rate. It's in his best interest to play within the system and trust other receivers besides Adams. At this juncture, I'd take a 2 interception performance over another 5+ sack one. Sacks are typically negative yard drive killers and take a toll on 12's body. It wasn't a sexy game. But considering the fact that it was @ Chicago in a new system, week 1, I'm okay with it. He needs to improve, and so does the entire offense. The interior offensive linemen have to do their thing more consistently, and the WRs need to get open. And there's no chance in hell, that I would take a 2 INT game over a 5 sack game. No chance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfanfb Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 At some point it just becomes sad that he has to mention this every year. I'll be there Sunday and fully expect to see a 2nd quarter wave when the game is tied and we're on offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Matt Schneidman: Aaron Rodgers has one request for fans of the #Packers, who play five of their next six at home: “My only ask is that we don’t do the wave when we’re on offense.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanedorf Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Packers, vikings and bears began the season all bunched up in the Sagarin Ratings They were listed at 8, 9,10 and only a few hundredths separated them Here's the rankings after week 1, vikes moved up big time, Packers moved up slightly and bears dropped out of the Top Ten http://sagarin.com/sports/nflsend.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Doesn't carry any weight after 1 week, but if you ever wondered what the Packers defense would look like ranked # 2 in the league...

Shanedorf Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 "Vikings center-turned-guard Pat Elflein emerged from Sunday’s win over the Falcons with a knee injury. Elflein did not practice on Wednesday, the first full day of work in advance of a Week Two showdown with the Packers at Lambeau Field. Vikings signed C Brett Jones This was always a possibility after the Vikings initially waived Jones during the first week of September. A 13-game starter two seasons ago, Minnesota most recently depended on Jones as their top reserve. He'll step right back into that role starting in Week 2.

Shanedorf Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 from PFF: The #Packers had their 2nd highest pass-rushing grade in 2018 as a team during the week 12 game against Minnesota. Kenny Clark was a big part of the success with (6) total pressures and a 16.7% pressure percentage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elflein has been a weak link for two years now. I’m sure most Vikings fans are optimistic that the OL could perform better with Elflein on the bench or inactive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible given that Elflein never seemed to recover from that injury during the delicious NFC Championship game in Philly that his absence could be a good thing for the Queens long term. Who's gonna go if Elflein can't? Dozier? Like all the moving parts on an OLine that was weak up the middle anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dozier has been getting first team reps this week and looked good in the preseason, played LT. Jones can also play guard though he’s more useful as a backup IOL. We’re hoping that rookie Dru Samia is eventually starting at LG, he also looked good in preseason on the second team OL. Might just be a matter of time for Samia. OL is definitely a work in progress. Bradbury is a rookie. O’Neill missed the entire preseason with an injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
