For some reason I think the first half of this game will reveal more than the rest of preseason what the Packers might do.

I really want to see how the OL holds up against Colts starters. For obvious "dead horse" reasons.

I really want to see how the LBs and non-Woodson DBs hold up against Manning and his receivers. Probably because I remember a few years ago when I thought the Packers were going to be better...and Manning completely shredded them. By no means is this Packer team as bad on pass D as that one was, but I can't help thinking they aren't as good as I had thought they were going to be either.

How about you?

Not going to be able to watch the game due to work :(

I'd like to see how Morgan Burnett does, considering he's almost guaranteed to start with Bigby's ankle injury.

We crushed Manning 2 years ago in Lambeau 😛 just wanted to correct that hahaha.

I will be watching our secondary close, I know I should be watching Rodgers for my Report but he is in mid season form right now and we are set for another 4-5 years at qb
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Manning didn't shred us at all. IIRC we returned two INTs for TDs, and one of them was by Rouse, yeah Aaron Rouse. That's hardly shredding a defense.

That said, I want to see the offense go business as usual, and I want to see good pass rush, and a bend but don't break pass defense. Yeah, I want to see a perfect team pretty much.

I'm not sure who all will be playing on the defensive side of the ball with the nagging injuries. We haven't had the front line LB's in there yet and now Jenkins is limping.

The 3rd game is generally where the coaches play it for real to get a gauge on where they are at but it may be hard to take away much from this if 4 or five startes on defense don't get on the field.

McCarthy is pretty conservative with putting players on the field this time of year when they have minor injuries and rightfully so. It's a shame if Barnett, Hawk, Mathews, and Jenkins all sit because this would have been a great game to see what the first unit could do against a good QB.

I would like to see our 1st team run a little better tonight. I think against a "smaller" defensive line such as the Colts this can be done.

- Aaron Rodgers almost perfect again in the time he gets.
- We all know who our starting TE is so I'd like to see a battle between the 4-5 TE, assuming we are going to keep 4 TE's.
- Would like to see Shields have a top performance on defense and special teams.
- Crosby perfect on the night.

EDIT

And of course I will be looking for ZOMBO!

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
