Local sports talk show had a stat y-day: 

Rodgers is 9-0, rating of 116...in games played w/out Davante Adams.

It could be the routes the Cards offense has him running.  He is not the fastest guy and only appeared to be down field more with the Texans because of the amount of busted plays that resulted from horrible offensive line play.

You are probably right.  Honestly guys like Rondale Moore and Murray's legs scare me the most.  I do think down at the goalline they can feed Hopkins as much as they want.  Stokes has been good for a rookie but at the end of the day he is a rookie.  Hopkins will use his craftiness if they are matched up.  The Packers random late pickups have been solid though.  I am semi impressed with Rasul Douglas.  It is something that thr Packers don't normally fo but have been forced to do.  To me a journeyman vet off the street is a better than bringing up a practice squad player who has no business playing.  I know they want a guy familiar with the system.  But I am convinced that may be overrated.  Whitney Mercelius had a few nice plays in his first game last week as well.  Glad to have both right now

MVS looks to be out.  He was a longshot on the short week.

I agree.  Rodgers doesn't need any receivers to win this game.

Dear God,

Please let the Packers win, so tomorrow I can tell Ed'More Excuses'jr to suck It.  Help me smite him.  

Amen.

Ed’s in a no-lose situation.  Pack win, see, the stats don’t lie. Pack lose, see, he can’t win the big games. Ed can fock off

[JustinCharge 2,397]

In the past 5 years, the Packers are 2-5 when they cross the rocky mountains to play a game.  

[Mike Honcho 5,433]

Game is being simulcast in 4K, makes the extra bucks spent on the big screen so worth it. 

[listen2me 23 1,952]

Yeah amari is thr answer.  People picked on Rodgers for wanting cobb and here we are.  EQ practice squad hold.  Amari fumbles a punt.  Drops a pass.  Minimized to a perfect ball downfield to the RB.  Yeah man Rodgers wanting Cobb was totally selfish.  Lol.  GM is thanking him about now.

On the flip side…what the fock is Cobb doing for them?

Hes their number 1 WR and the only WR not on thr practice squad or a rookie punt returner out there in the biggest game.

I've gotten into an argument saying EQ is underrated.  That if not for the injuries, he'd be emerging as the guy. I'm thinking if he doesn't do anything tonight, I'm done with him.

Has talent.  But people think non starters only bring lack of wr skills.  Nah...very first scripted play hr held.  Does one of the other do that? Maybe.  Either way these are practice squaders and it shows in more ways than one.

Cobb aint a number 1.  No one including me says he is.  Its rough.

[Mike Honcho 5,433]

Murray looks so small out there, dang that kid has heart just walking out on the field.

 

[listen2me 23 1,952]

Practice squad wr hold on first play which is scripted.  Rookie wr drops ball almost fumbled away a punt. Rookie cb gets beat deep.  

Rodgers throws dime downfield but it has to be to the rb.  Dropped.

About as expected.  Ill sign off now.

Ive been in the hooch thats why I should leave the area.  I dont want to make excuses and get all pissed off.  Just sucks a game this caliber is dwindled down to this.  Home field is big for Packers.  Dome teams a plenty and tom and thr warm weather bucs.  Home field is huge.

Nice expensive starium they have fown here in the desert.  Lights don't even work

Two powerful runs, one by each back, on that drive.

I agree.  Totally past my expectations.  One of the top however they rank thrm linebackers so far.  Defense is playing fast.  Just dont give up easy plays.  I am so used to the Packers handing it over on defense.  Just don't do that.  If they line up and beat you fine.  So far so good mostly.

So since there is this thread I will wait until the weekend to start official week 8 thread.

[Big Guy 1,421]

I hate the Packers but so far they've gotten screwed by the refs on multiple occasions, including spots

[listen2me 23 1,952]

Passing it 3 times quickly there is unacceptable. What on earth was that?

GB has been playing so much better but only up 3 and AZ gets the ball after the half. 

[shorepatrol 1,871]

Center lives matter. Cards had to put out the fattest practice squad guy they had. Kyler running for his life

If I looked at the stats----I'd expect 17 points minimum right now.  Margin for error is so small tonight, I don't know if 3 can do it.

 

[Bert 1,128]

Without Hopkins commanding coverage the balanced passing attack doesn't look so good.  We will see if Kingsbury can figure it out at half time.
