Turkey stud n dud

Saw a clip and slowed it down

His ankle snapped

But sometimes a break is better than a sprain. I had a 3rd degree sprained ankle last April and it still isn't 100%. :-(

 

[DoURant]

this is funny (hilarious really) and also saddening. Little disappointed in myself for lack of patience.

I think I’m growing weary of some thoughts and need to not let it get to me as it did today.

You're good Bud!! It gets frustrating for all of us sometimes, and you just have to go nuclear for a bit to get it off your chest. Although at one point I was seriously starting to question who hijacked your account.

Exactly. I worked with a guy that broke his ankle 2 years ago. They wanted him walking on it within Days of surgery. Obviously an initial boot. Within 6 weeks I was surprised to see him walking around pretty normal. He was 65yrs old, which a 26yr old is going to heal up pretty quickly with trainers helping daily etc.

As far as some projections in here that he’ll miss next season (not suggesting you said that) that somehow we can quantify Wyatt as a “bad draft selection”. That’s just totally ridiculous at this juncture. It’s like some posters in here seemingly want players to fail so they can justify their position of complaining.

I'm an x-ray tech. Ankle breaks can present in many ways. Some simple with a relatively quick recovery, some catastrophic with life long effects. Three major bones in play, all with different impacts. No sense speculating. Could go either direction.

 

[PackerRyche]

If just a tuberosity fracture, could be quick recovery although lateral fracture is usually better. If full break of distal tibia - not good.

Guess that means typically I do a decent job of fighting the urge lol

Oh my god... either a complete fracture or shredded ligaments, if not both. His season is done.

Lafleur - what a statement game. Walks into Dan Campbell's house on Thanksgiving Day and out-Campbells him. 3 for 3 on 4th down, 2 of them touchdowns and the third the game-clincher. This may be the best game I've ever seen him coach; it's certainly the gutsiest. If we don't go for and convert every single one of those 4th downs, the Lions win the game. I hope this means we're seeing a whole new MLF

And it might mean he listened to criticism that he was getting too timid. Or he figured it out himself.

I think it’s all 3

You are more often than not, the voice of reason, and come prepared to back it up. Have a good night, I hope that Snickers hit the spot

Who was no more than two.

 

[PackerRyche]

Found a good replay of the Wyatt injury. Looks very much like the Tim Krumrie lower leg break. Definitely season ending but not career ending.

 

[PackerRyche]

Not ankle but mid lower leg

 

[Guacamole]

All I can say is the biggest dud is me..I picked GB to lose

 

[lambeaulambo]

Studs:

Love - masterful at times. Played with leadership.
Parsons - oh is he a load. Reggie part deux.
Wicks - in the clutch and made beautiful plays. Hes 11000 pct
Watson - good more good than bad he continues to rebound remarkably

Duds:

Nixon - he had a rough go. he couldnt cover 1.
Officiating - PI on watson blatant.

This was a signature W. THUMP. We got ourselves a defense that is nasty. Losing Wyatt now will require DT help. This team is ascending folks. I LOVED THIS W.

We

MLF just announced that Wyatt's injury "doesn't look good" and everyone feels bad for him. In other words, Another key starter out for the season. First Kraft, then Jenkins and now Wyatt out for the season. While there was some depth to help cushion Jenkins loss, that hasn't been the case with Kraft and there really isn't another IDL on the team that can rush the passer anywhere close to what Wyatt can do.

When the pass rush disappeared today, Goff completed 15 straight passes. Pass rush is everything in the NFL.

I say start using more safety blitzes and 6 man blitzes to offset Wyatt's injury. There's no risk in that because if you don't get pressure, teams will score easily.

Good thing the Packers didn't extend Wyatt with a big contract. He's been hurt a lot and this injury should be enough to start looking for his replacement. It's a tough business in that regard but the best ability is availability.

Have to get Brooks back on the DL. Right now I do not believe that Brinson and Stackhouse are strong enough to carry the load. This will be critical down the stretch when teams will be forced to run the ball.

Wonder what Gilbert Brown is doing these days? One year he played in the postseason through a torn quad.

But the 3 biggest plays of the day were the 4th down conversions, and the players never get a chance to execute them if Lafleur doesn't call them in the first place. And at least on that last one, he asked Love what he wanted to run, and then agreed when Love told him.

That's a significant departure from what we're used to seeing from Lafleur. As I said earlier in the thread, if those 3 plays don't all work, I don't think we win the game. I hope we see more of this "all gas, no brakes" philosophy going forward, especially in the playoffs, where every single game is the only game in the entire season.

I'm no doctor, but the more I look at it, the more that makes sense. If that's it, it's a terrible injury for the guy (going to be very painful, and there'd be a difficult surgery), but he'd be back by training camp. Krumrie broke his leg in the Super Bowl in February, and was ready to go in July. It's going to be a massive blow to our pass rush, but hopefully a couple of guys will step up.

I guess I'd rather it was that then the ligaments. I tore just a couple of ligaments in my ankle in a construction accident in 78, and I still have occasional trouble with it.

Stud:
Brian Gutenkunst.

It’s unlikely GB is at 8-3-1 had we not acquired Micah. He’s a 1 man wrecking ball. If Parsons stays healthy GB should run deep postseason. Also drafting Love has paid dividends. In his 3rd season we can absolutely say a #26 overall selection is a steal. Our GM will be remembered by that draft trade and stealing Parsons from Dallas.

I thought of that too, but decided I'd be more comfortable waiting til later in the season. But with the Wyatt injury, that Parsons trade suddenly is enormous. Priceless, even.

And I think that a couple of years down the road, we'll be looking back at the 22, 23, and even the 24 drafts as A+ pieces in the puzzle.

Still wish we'd taken Cooper Dejean instead of Jordan Morgan, though. But even Ted Williams struck out sometimes.

Anyone ever think that it was Policy that forced him to do that trade?

He is pitching whiskeys

Side note, I was manger of where these were done

If we keep getting the rest of the roster annihilated Micah will be out there by himself.

Love

Parsons

Wicks

Dud who missed that tackle on Williams?

I was surprised Wicks wasn't invited to the turkey-leg feast after the game. Love and Parsons were there, but I think Wicks played the best, making every opportunity he had count.

Fox had to give the MVP to Love or Parsons (I thought Parsons deserved it), but Wicks had a case too.

Great game, and these three guys were the studs, no doubt.

 

[Heyjoe4]

Love

Dud who missed that tackle on Williams?

I think that was Valentine with the missed tackle. Horrible play where he just threw himself at Williams' (missing badly) instead of wrapping up. I'll never understand why defenders, especially CBs, think that they can knock a runner or receiver down with a shoulder. "Wrapping up" should be a mantra for these guys.

But it was a day for studs. The duds were few and far between.
