Week 7 - Washington comes to town (Pre-game and Postgame thread)

[Poppa San]

Let's try to stay on topic this time.

Thank you! While I was entertained, it just was too far.

Everything is pointing towards a Green Bay win...so of course the "trap game" thought is on everyone's mind. Washington can put up points, and while our defense is 5th in league in yards allowed - we have done nothing to stop a team if they progress into red zone. Sustained drives, keep our depleted defense fresh to me will allow us to control this game as we should.

I look for Aaron and AJ again to flirt or produce near 200 yards of all purpose yards, and I think this is the week either Lazard or Tonyan find the endzone and put up a few good catches - Adams will be consistent but quiet for him somewhere in the 6 catches 100 yards and a TD ( quiet for him )

I`ve been to confession for my sins.

Regarding the game, I can`t see anything to worry about. Some have commented that Rodgers has lost a little something with his deep game and it has been one of the things that annoys me about him anyway. He can keep the ball moving equally well with 15 to 20 yard passes. To me he tries too hard to make things happen. If he keeps it simple this game is a win all the way. I can`t see the team stumbling at all.

Potentially I see a big win. Just get the win continue to improve stay and get healthy. Get ready for the stretch run.
Packers 38-14

Right, because we weren't having any fun in the other thread. Sorry Poppa but this is another case of over-moding in my humble opinion. Yes, the conversation veered off, but when in life doesn't that happen? If you read through it, all of us were just having fun.

When someone had something interesting to say about the Washington game, they would have posted it and the thread goes back on track.

No offense, but that felt like the neighbor kid seeing all the other kids having fun, taking his ball and going home. Enough said, I have just derailed the thread.

Humor is so subjective. There is also the point that not everyone could participate due to having the OP on ignore. That is why the admin prefers a staff member starts all the game day threads.

Do they have different players in the secondary? Is that why they have not been very good on D this year? I read somewhere they are getting pressures, just not a lot of sacks.

Yes humor is subjective, but if you don't like or understand that humor, are you going to just shut the thread down?

I get the second part of your statement, but then why didn't you shut the thread down days ago when it was created? Sounds more like an excuse to be honest.

BTW...Side Note.....I have people on ignore that create threads, I still can see what others post in that thread, as well as post things in it myself.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Lots of talk about Packer injuries, the WTFT has quite a few of their own, especially in the WR dept.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Packers will be wearing their old 50's uniforms on Sunday....I really hope they washed them!

Ahhh, THAT was a good burn!

Washington doesn't scare me. Heinecke doesn't scare me. Their defense from 2020 scared me. I haven't really followed them in 2021. What happened to their D that caused such a 180?

I`d say they look awful but that might be going off subject.....yuck.

I like most of the uniforms from about 35-56 that aren't blue. I'm glad they picked one from this era. My personal favorite though is from 1935.

I prefer the old way of doing it, just 2 uniforms each year, home and away. We all know why they have added all these "special" uniforms....more Jersey sales. Not to get up on a soapbox, but we have enough waste in this world as it is, the billion dollar industries don't need to add to it, especially when they have the economic resources and social power to help fix it.

Raises hand....guilty for semi-trolling. But you're right it's good to have fun rather than copy and post stats every d90mn post on here which takes the fun out of bantering, shooting the sh08t, etc.

Anyway...getting back on track, like I said the Packs can take it easy as their O will dominate but I still stand with Washington's QB that D has to watch out for. He will scramble for the 1st down and has an arm too. With our secondary banged up like Pokerbrat's W.T.f thread they better watch out for the long ball.

 

[mongoosev]

Wow that uniform is UGLY. Just think if they lose. That would be double embarrassing!

 

[I asked LT to delete my acct]

Cheez....that 1927 jersey burned my eyes. Please never go back to that

 

[Krabs]

I think the one that is overlooked is Preston Smith. Dude is tough man. One of his great qualities was availability. He's a loss.

If mods want the exclusive rights to create threads … then maybe they should actually get it done before someone else has to do it… this is so ridiculous.

I wholeheartedly agree. Thats exactly what I was thinking in perfect summation.
Well said!

I like the Jerseys, not so much with the combination of the green pants but I don't know what else they could do. Its much better than that crap the Bears were wearing last week.

Washington ranks 10th in the league in pressure percentage. But they have issues in the secondary, ranking only 26th in opposing passer rating at 104.4.

I think the one that is overlooked is Preston Smith. Dude is tough man. One of his great qualities was availability. He's a loss.

With Preston being listed as questionable there's a chance he will be able to play tomorrow.

 

[Schultz]

I hope he can play. You can't overlook this team. Every win counts the same in the standings. Get this W. I do not like their chances on a short week on the road vs. a good team as banged up as they are.
