Mr. Fussnputz Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 I didn't watch the game last night for several reasons. One, I refuse to be bullied by the NFL to buy a subscription I don't want. Two, I was sure the Packers were going to lose. MLF won't play his starters in the preseason, so this was essentially the first preseason game for the youngest team in the league against a really good Philly team. It went as expected. Preseason game number 2 coming up. Note: I went to bed thinking the Pack would lose and with a premonition that there would be a significant injury. I woke up and....sheet.

umphrey Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Best case scenario imo is 6 week injury, we go 2-4 with a backup, finish 11-6 and go strong into the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've gotten pretty good at diagnosing torn ACL's. The MRI is usually only there to confirm it. I'm not a doctor, but my guess is a sprained knee and we're probably like 3-4 weeks from him being healthy. Right. I'm guessing MCL and/or high ankle. Likely 2-5 weeks depending on severity. We have to hope it's closer to 2. Either way, we have a find a way to win a game or two while he's out. Not sure Willis can do that. We'll see.

I question how much of the playbook Willis has been able to absorb without any actual play time. It's not that I think Clifford will light the world on fire, but at least the complete offense can be implemented. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Love is out 4-6 weeks the smart move would be to go pay Tannehill if the Packers are serious about the season. That would be an uncharacteristic move for us, but if would give you the best chance to stay in the hunt early on. If it's closer to 1-2 weeks for Love, you just ride it out with what you have. If Love is done for the season you just tank it. The softest part of our schedule is the next few weeks. All winnable games. Not sure either Willis or Clifford can do it though.

Leader Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Ask me, that's a ridiculous travel requirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Good news about Myers at least. Just cramps. I didn't see any other injuries during the game for us other than Love of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll probably get a leaked report on the expected injury by this evening I'm guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't fork over the $$ for Peacock either. It looks like I didn't miss much. I'm just glad this "home game" was taken away from Philly and not us. It will really suck if Love's season is over. 😢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to play games down near Antarctica, dont select a team that has to travel from/to Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So - I saw the game for a couple of bucks. No big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laces Out Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 It's 2024, 🏴☠️ is better than ever. Lots of players were cramping up, saw Love eating bananas and getting his calves worked on several times. The team wasn't quite ready for the heat/humidity and lack of real snaps all preseason hurt them down the stretch. **** That field, and **** these international games. Can't wait for them to have play in the middle east for oil money in the near future. ****ING Goodell 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StatKing Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 So realistically what kind of out do we have with Loves contract? If this becomes a Bahktiari type injury it's gonna set the franchise back atleast 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
