How bad was defense? I could not watch the game...
The TD pass from Rodgers is more of what I expect to see this year.
Benson has never played a down in a Packer uniform yet he will be our starting RB in September.
Behind him it looks like ?????? Starks, Saine, Green? How many do we keep?
I am glad ARod finally said we need to run the football after the game. Even he realizes it cannot be ignored.
For future reference...I live in Hudson (but feel trapped in Vikingville too!) and the Village Inn Sports Bar & Grill in North Hudson carries preseason/regular season Packer games that aren't televised by local purple media!I am in Hudson Wi. Is there any channel that I can see the game on? I checked the channels and there is only Cinn. / Atlanta.
Trapped
Let's talk during and after this fake-game.
Fake game with real injuries, like the Chargers last week. So sad to lose Desmond.
PLEASE NO MORE INJURIES TONIGHT.
I worry about the RBs... can Alex Green make it thru the night?
Green machine: The depletion of the Packers’ running backs has not been good for coach Mike McCarthy’s disposition. When fullback John Kuhn suffered an ankle injury late in practice on Monday, McCarthy couldn’t believe it. As a result of Kuhn’s injury, only three running backs – halfbacks Alex Green and Marc Tyler, and fullback Nic Cooper – will suit up if McCarthy doesn’t change his mind at the last minute and let newly signed Cedric Benson on the field.
That means Green, despite having been on a limited snap count as he comes back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament, could see a fair amount of action. Last week, he had three carries for 3 yards; he should get at least a little more work Thursday night.
“I haven’t been told anything as far as my workload, things like that. I know I’m starting the game off, I know I’ll still be kind of limited rep count, I understand that. That’s not a problem for me, but as far as snaps or carries, I’m really not sure,” Green said. “Just the nature of being competitive, you want to get out there and get all the snaps, make all the plays.
At the end of the day, I understand the whole process of not rushing it, it’s still preseason, I came back a month and a half early – I understand I need to sit out and let it heal and not push it too much. Whatever the plan may be, I’ll be fine.”
The same cannot be said for the running game as a whole, as it’s so dire that Curenski Gilleylen, a former running back in college at Nebraska who’s converted to wide receiver, was taking running back snaps this week in practice – although Cooper would be more likely to get carries first.
“Anybody that can carry it right now is up,” running backs coach Alex Van Pelt said. “He came out of Nebraska as a running back, so he has some ability and has taken handoffs. In an emergency — if a shoelace breaks or something like that, we can get him in there.”
I dunno about Frank but to me that says "Get me somebody competent that isn't always injured so I don't have to wear my arm out throwing so much. I wanna keep throwing for many years to come, and I don't like getting hit."Frank, what do you think of Rodgers comment "Rodgers says Packers need to run the ball"?
Exactly.I dunno about Frank but to me that says "Get me somebody competent that isn't always injured so I don't have to wear my arm out throwing so much. I wanna keep throwing for many years to come, and I don't like getting hit."
Two things that have stood out to me as big negatives in these two preseason games so far are pass defense and ball control. Our D has trouble prevent the opposing team from gouging passing yards with slants in the middle. Turning the ball over 4 times each game hurt us also.
But the more I watch and rewatch the Packers runs, the more digusted I get with the passive, soft, gayish blocking. It's horrible. These guys have no push ever. It's like they only are taught to step back and pass block.
I think most teams have a problem stopping the slant across the middle because linebackers can no longer take guys' heads off."
I just meant "soft", that's all..... wouldn't you agree our run blocking tends to be? Soft? There's less daylight for our RBs than in a Kardashian bedroom.C'mon, man. That's more insensitive than my avatar...

Holy schiiiiii that was from Full Metal Jacket?Yeah, they look like a bunch of fairies. I could deal with the fact that they aren't road graders if they were better in pass protection but...
I wish we could bring in R. Lee Ermey to yell at them:
