Bear week part one

[Deleted member 6794]

Mr. Thompson, I respectfully suggest that you go find a running back.

It would be absolutely stunning if the Packers don't end up signing another running back to the active roster before Thursday's game. Thompson has left me stunned on several occasions in the past though.

Granted, Starks lost his Grandmother and left Green Bay because of it. But his condition should have been determined quicker, allowing the Packers to IR him and free up a roster spot for another running back. If he mends, they bring him back.

Maybe TT thinks by not using his one allowable return off the IR, he will be rewarded with a draft pick?

Speaking of injuries, any word on Lindsley?

Linsley is still on the PUP list but would be allowed to practice tomorrow.

and are currently starting their 3rd string rookie running back (Jordan Howard).

True but this 3rd string rookie RB is better than the other two. I don't think this is a good thing

He's had a good two games (against the Colts and Lions).

there is nothing to gain but to lose in the upcoming game against the Bears. If we win it's just another game against a lousy opponent but if we lose it's confirmed that we just stink!

In all honesty

But changing OCs don't matter when the HC is the defacto OC.

Than TT or MM order Mac to allow O.C to make all decisions.

 

[Packer Brother]

No chance MM gets fired during season. However, fans can make a statement by not attending these stink fests. Yes l realize the tickets are paid for. However, merchandise and beer sales go down. Seeing a half full Lambeau field would wake Murphy ( Who needs to be more hands in) up quick!!

According to sources the team will promote RB Don Jackson to the active roster before Thursday's game against the Bears.

DT Brian Price cleared waivers and the Packers will sign him back to their practice squad.

Sad but true. We've all been so spoiled in the past.

I will say, seeing an absolute beat down of the Bears might be the confidence booster this offense needs just to spark SOME kind of rhythm. If we struggle again, I might cry.

Extremely hard to believe but it's true:

It may be the best thing for the Packers to lose this week. They sure need a good hard look in the mirror. They need to get down to bare bone and re-start this thing with no illusions or pre-conceived anything. If a loss this week is what it takes to get there, then so be it. But these guys need to go on that field with one thing and one thing only in mind and that is 'the next play, kick the guy's butt who is looking at me from the other side of the line'. One play at a time.

The Packers have officially re-signed DT Brian Price to the practice squad. To make room for him the team released G Blake Muir from the PS.

I'd prefer the complete opposite approach, especially since I consider the Dallas game the beat down that they needed to "wake-up". Also, the last 16-17 games should have been sufficient enough in the way of players and coaches looking hard into a mirror. No, I would prefer a win and a blow out win against the Bears. One where AR returns to his old form and tosses 6 TD's. Let's have some fun out there and show everyone, including ourselves that we are The Green Bay Packers! Who better to do it with, then The Chicago Bears!

But even if that does happen, the Packers only have to remember the first and second half in the Lions game this year to know, their quest to become a better team is far from complete.

Getting beat by a good team is one thing, getting beat by a bad team is something totally different.

I would prepare some extra tissue... Not saying they will lose, but with these injuries and the way Aaron is playing I highly doubt a blowout victory is coming. In fact I seen Vegas has us at 8-10 point favorites, and I think that is being generous after watching our corners last week. And sadly that was with Dez.

 

[C-Lee]

Shields out AGAIN.

Jesus.

 

[Deleted member 6794]

Sam Shields will miss fifth straight game vs. the Bears on Thursday.

Good to see you back on here. I'm honestly just going to watch the games, I'm done expecting anything from this team at this point. If they break out of their funk, great! It's not impossible, you know? But I'm done getting my hopes up.

As a person I think the dude should retire. These are getting pretty brutal now, and though he's our best corner. Isn't worth it long run.

Yeah, I totally agree... There isn't anything wrong with enjoying the game and seeing what happens. I would do it even if they go 3-13.

We can't give up on them. They've spoiled us in the past and now we're struggling. Can't give up.

I think its safe to conclude that even if Sam comes back this year, his days in GB are numbered. Unless they invent a helmet that is made out of a black box, keeping him past this year isn't worth the risk or salary hit.

I'm expecting news of his retirement more then I am expecting news of him playing.

Lose this week? Can we afford to? My guess is that there were posters here saying the exact same thing this week in 2010 after we lost to Miami to go 3-3. We even had poor offensive performances after that, but we all know that ending. I think folks need to step back from the edge of the cliff.
