I'm just happy to be still playing meaningful games in September

Packers aren’t ready for the freak. Rest Arod and kick your wounds from Alex Smith. Y’all toast. Allen has a group of WRs from the local YMCA and he is going to kill it. Bills 24 Packers 14.

I think they should just let Matthews sack Allen on every play for the free 15 yds.

Daboll did an excellent job yesterday. If Shady is playing this week don’t change a thing. He is no longer the center piece of an offense. 

 

Shady's presence will only elevate the offense.  He's the best RB and receiver.

It's about complementary football and Shady can certainly play a big role in that as the team shifts its focus toward becoming QB centric with Allen emerging.

Dougherty: Packers may have lost much more than just a game

 

LANDOVER, Md. - This was more than just an early-season L on the Green Bay Packers’ record.

 

They played poorly, no question, in their 31-17 loss to Washington. But that happens to pretty much every team during the long NFL season. Three weeks into this NFL season, only three teams (the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Rams and Miami Dolphins) are 3-0.

 

But a team that had been remarkably healthy since training camp — yes, Aaron Rodgers is hurt, but least he can play — finally sustained some hits that will leave a mark.

 

The Packers have plenty of players on the roster they can be fine playing without. But the injuries to Muhammad Wilkerson (ankle) and Bryan Bulaga (back) are the kind of losses that can erode their team.

 

It’s probably safe to assume Wilkerson’s season is finished. He had to leave FedEx Field on a cart and reportedly was taken to the hospital during the game.

 

Then there’s Bulaga. He left the game late in the second quarter and never returned. And if we learned anything from training camp, it’s that the Packers can’t afford to lose either of their starting tackles for a long stretch, or worse yet, the season.

 

Jason Spriggs replaced Bulaga on Sunday and couldn’t get it done. He gave up three bad pressures on the first 11 plays of the second half, and a few snaps later had a false start penalty. Especially with a hobbled Rodgers, that’s a big problem. Any game Bulaga misses, coach Mike McCarthy’s offensive plans have to change, and not for the better.

The highs and lows on this board is priceless lol. Just 2 days ago everyone is predicting a huge blowout loss to the Vikings (me included) with the bills possibly getting the first pick off the board in next years draft.  And now lots of people are confident the Bills are going to go to green bay and knock off a rod and the packers lol.

 

Gotta love the highs and lows of a NFL season:)

The Packers are very much vulnerable right now given the personnel and their injury situation.

I think this speaks as to why the NFL is so monetarily successful.  The number of games in an NFL season is akin to the number of episodes to a really good TV series, the sports with "too many" games just don't have the same level of drama.

I agree for sure. But I am just saying how fast things can change in the NFL. 

 

No no one in their right mind would possibly predict the Bills winning just a few days ago.

Your point? That they didn’t take the Bills lightly? Yeah, that’s my point. Coaches do not take any NFL teams lightly.

 

That is correct, Zimmer's quote backs up your point.

I'd have to pick the Bills to beat the spread, but I can see why the Pack is favored. They haven't played as well as expected and Rogers is gimpy. That could be a problem if T Murphy is healthy and the pass rush is as good as last Sunday. Still, we have 1 solid CB on the roster and no help in sight. Cousins just isn'[t that great IMO. Rogers is another story. It could go either way.

Just as I didn't think the Bills were as bad as they looked the first two weeks, I don't think they're as good as they looked last week. I still think this is a very winnable game.

 

Green Bay isn't that good to begin with, and they're in pretty bad shape. They've lost key players to injury, Rogers is gimpy, and their best pass rusher isn't allowed to sack the QB.

 

I'm not going to bet $5k on it, but I won't be at all surprised if the Bills put a whoopin on the cheese eating fudge Packers this Sunday.

I'll say this about Green Bay (overlapping their game play against the Vikes), when Rodgers is in the game - no matter his condition - they ALWAYS have a chance to win all the way until time runs out. Look at the Chicago game; if Bills played the Pack yesterday with similar results going into 4th Quarter, I would have been convinced Rodgers was leading a comeback. 

 

My one real issue with the game yesterday, and it's minor in terms of outcome, is that the Bills need to have that killer instinct. They played like a team on fire in the first half, but then came out more in the form of a giant turtle. They didn't want to be too aggressive on Offense and Defensively in the 4th Quarter they started playing with more about protecting the win than what is in their apparent DNA. 

 

Defensively I can understand the perspective and approach to a point, but Offensively, they needed to remain aggressive. Not necessarily causing all kinds of turnovers and throwing caution to the wind, but being creative yet aware of the situation. The best teams, step on the neck when their opponent is down. In order to maintain this level of competition and to be considered truly great, they'll need to do that in games that count the most. Green Bay with Rodgers at the helm, is one of those teams you can't give even the slightest hope to, or he'll exploit it and make you pay.

This could go many different ways

 

Our D has been playing solid offense and has held opposing teams to what.....10 points in the last game and a half?

 

Our offense left a LOT of plays on the field with drops and dialed back the aggressive in the second half of yesterday's game........

 

The team might be picking up confidence....if this team goes 2-2 to the quarter pole........we can forget about drafting high

Some of us have been pretty even-keeled all year in the face of withering negativity. Just saying.

Muhammad Wilkerson’s ankle injury is ‘significant’

 

Mike Spofford - PACKERS.COM SENIOR WRITER
 
GREEN BAY – Packers defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson needed surgery on his injured ankle on Sunday night in Washington, D.C., and did not return to Green Bay with the team.
 
Head Coach Mike McCarthy said on Monday that Wilkerson’s injury was “significant,” but he did not elaborate.
 
Following Sunday’s 31-17 loss at FedExField, the Packers are also dealing with injuries to starting offensive lineman Bryan Bulaga (back) and Justin McCray (shoulder), while outside linebacker Nick Perry is in the concussion protocol.
McCarthy did not have any updates and said it could be until Wednesday or Thursday before the lineup at those spots for Sunday’s home game vs. Buffalo takes shape.
 
“We’re beat up coming out of the game,” McCarthy said. “You look at the course of these first three weeks, they’re battling like hell. We’re going to have to see how it sorts out. (The injury report) will be part of our game-planning.”
