wtf is zayne anderson?

Packers signed him off waivers August 31. He then pulled his hamstring to try to fit in. He's Packer people.

Packers might not be able to do it while he's still injured, but I would imagine Anderson is a likely candidate to be cut in favor of putting Taylor on the 53 here soon.

Put him on IR, problem solved. Waive him from IR if he doesn't fit the 53 after 4 weeks.

Just pointing out that the Packers may not want to pay him any type of injury settlement.

Gotcha! Since Taylor has played three games can he remain on the practice squad as long as he's not activated this week?

Yes, he just cannot be activated.

If Jones is a go, they may decide to let Taylor sit Thursday and bring Ballentine and Gaines up. Both would be ST's and DB help, whereas Taylor probably would be limited to ST's only this week.

Not to be a negativist, but I expect we'll get outclassed by Detroit.  I think they're for real.  Seems like a very well-balanced team.  

I hope I'm wrong, of course.  *IF* we can go toe-to-toe with them, or flat-out beat them, it might reframe my thoughts and expectations for the Packers this season.  

Detroit has a good offense, so *IF* our defense was able to handle them pretty well, it would be encouraging.

Detroit is legit. They have stacked a bunch of talent, especially in the trenches, have a good enough QB who’s not top if the market and the offense is strong enough to help a solid defense. Eventually they’ll have to pay some premium guys and not be flush with draft capital but moves like trading Hock in a year where they could grab LaPorta means they are looking at their assets and making good decisions. They are no longer the doormat. Can they sustain success? That’s what separates the good  from the great.

yeah Detroit is no joke this year.  In their last 13 games they are 10-3 with those only losses coming from OT loss to Seattle, 3 pt loss to Buffalo, and then a 14 pt loss to the Panthers (this one is a bit rough).

Bak is officially OUT again. Time to start worrying about him playing more than 2-3 more games at most the rest of the season? Sounds like he's cooked.

Bahk and Jenkins out. 

[AlexGreen#20]

This could be ugly.

Need to play complimentary football.

Jenkins was expected. He won't be back until after the bye. I think the only reason the Packers didn't IR him was because he can miss 3 games and then get the Bye week, whereas he'd have to miss that 4th game on IR.
