Game 8: Packers @ Arizona - Thursday, October 28th, 7:20pm

No MVS tonight.

 

That leaves them with Cobb, St. Brown, Taylor, and Winfree at WR.

 

Amari Rodgers as well. Would be nice to see him make an impact.

Ah. Forget him. Thank you.

 

If there’s ever a night to get him more involved, this would be it.

I don’t think this one is even going to be close. Pack get blown out.

 

LOL ... watch it come down to a last-second field goal now.

 

Goodness no! I couldn’t take a last second FG attempt from Mason right now!

[roadcrew3]

I'm actually really excited to watch this offense tonight. I thought last year, Rodgers played great, but he was also throwing to guys who were often times wide open due to the scheme. I think with the top 3 WRs down tonight, Lafluer has a great opportunity to creatively use Jones/Dillion and show that while Rodgers is great, he's a pretty damn good offensive guru too.

[nodakfan17]

I think there’s just too much for the Packers to overcome tonight - good opponent, injuries, short rest, long flight, COVID, etc.

 

I’ll give the Packers some credit. I think they’re a good team and Rodgers will play well enough to make things interesting. They avoid a blowout.

 

31-21 Cardinals

 

Go Pack!

See I don't buy those as being valid excuses for the Packers to get handled tonight. Cards are dealing with all those same things besides the long flight - which in todays world with chartered flights has to be a pretty stress-free and comfortable experience.

 

Packers are playing a good team on the road. Time to show what they are made of. If they get blown out, I won't feel good pointing at the above as the reason for why

[CheeseheadInQC]

I know he's been out a couple weeks, but I really hope the Malik Taylor who was getting open fairly regularly against the opponents' No. 1s in the preseason shows up tonight.

[OldHeidelberg]

I could see a blowout loss here, Cardinals put up a couple early TD’s followed by a Packers turnover and then we have the road game lay down we have seen a few times under MLF. Most of my hopes are that Cardinals choke under the undefeated hype and they are just due for a stinker. Plus we have Rodgers. Go Pack!!

[CheezWizHed]

Even with Adams, I was concerned about this game (and the next few) with our injuries and the way we've been playing against bad competition. We've been getting better over the last few weeks, but it is really hard to tell what we are actually capable of doing. AZ's WRs are going to be very tough to stop without Jaire.

 

I'm hoping for the best, but not really expecting it. But you got to play the games because you never really know. Murray has his bad games too.

[yourout]

Nice start.....hold and no replay.

[adambr2]

Newman absolutely whiffed on that screen otherwise we had a big play. Too bad.

[adambr2]

Can we just be rid of St. Brown? Killed that drive before it even started.

[adambr2]

Man it's great to have a good punter finally.

[yourout]

Nice to have a punter again.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Newman completely whiffed the block on the screen pass on 1st down that would have/should have sprung Jones for a decent gainer.

[adambr2]

You can commit a facemask penalty at the 2 yard line and they penalize the yardage from the line of scrimmage? Dumb.

[adambr2]

Wouldn't be a Packer game without a major special teams gaffe. Lucky we didn't lose that one.

[jason21nl]

A little late but I thought Jones should have picked up a lot more yards on the screen. He didn’t set up his block at all

Yeah that's on both him and Newman. Bad whiff for Newman but Jones could have slowed to set his man up a little better. It was a perfect call and executed poorly.

[adambr2]

I guess that's why Amari Rodgers never plays.

 

Edit: nice tackle break on 2nd down though.

Rodgers is throwing a lot of passes so far while stepping backwards. He is not comfortable back there.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Stepped into that one and it was on the money.

[jason21nl]

I just hate that call. 3rd and 3. Throw it deep to a RB. Hate it.

[yourout]

Nice rake across the face before the ball arrived.

[adambr2]

Why do we always go for the homerun on 3rd and short?

 

We cannot have numerous 3 and outs and have any chance of winning this football game.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Aikman was about to say "one that should have been caught" until he saw the play the defender made on the ball.
