From what I'm seeing though, I really wouldn't be surprised to see Capers with a new package that has Bishop, Smith, and Hawk all on the field. Either that, or one of the backup ILBs should be given a chance to fight for the spot opposite Clay Matthews.

I think about what may come when the post-season starts, and I giggle about the Pack's opponents.

My only question, will McCarthy on offense or Capers on defense offer opposing teams more annoying new "saved in the playbook just for the playoffs" stuff?

They're going to go into the games breaking down film on how to stop the Packers do A, B, ..., N on offense, and then McCarthy will add O, P, Q, and R. And they'll be thinking, everyone moves the ball on this defense, all we have to do is give the DBs no opportunities to jump the ball and get turnovers...and then Capers will throw like 4 new different defensive looks at them in the first quarter.

They'll be so busy saying "WTF?", that when McCarthy and Capers go back to what they were doing all year, they'll fall into the same traps everyone else has.

Just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Good lord. Based on some of the posts you would have thought I had said cut Hawk, start Francois.

So, it's now not permissible to think/say a player on the Packers can make a particular play better than another player on the Packers?

I'm not a Hawk basher. I think Hawk/Bishop make a pretty good ILB combination.

I just recognize Hawk's not THE top linebacker in the league, and that there are some things that other LBs do better than he does. And I just thought those two interceptions were plays that Hawk would not have made.

So it's looking like Pickett will be out this week with the concussion. That should mean Raji will pick up his snaps at nose guard which is where he played so well last year, especially down the stretch. What do you guys think, he starts blowing it up again?

I'm not sure if this was posted, but ESPN wrote up a little something (and video) about the Packers defensive numbers ... lying?

The winter weather will also start to be more of a factor in the rest of the games this season. Especially with the us knowing that the games will all be at home. This may help give the defense an edge.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
