Wait so Flynns arm will never recover from his injury?

I was pleased with Scott Tolzien today - he was in no way perfect, but for a first go 'round with next to no practice and a new promotion from the practice squad, it was a decent enough day. I would like to see him play more. It's not that I dislike Matt Flynn, but even if they sign him Monday, he still has to get up to speed with this year's personnel and offense. So, no matter if they sign Flynn or recycle Seneca Wallace, I would like to see Tolzien get the start next week. Hopefully with a week's practice with whoever is left alive on the 1st team will help to make next week a better week for him and see his emergence as a decent backup.

Tolzien has proven to me that he is a capable backup. He'll probably show more improvement with a week with the 1st team.

Seem like a lot to ask of a guy who a week ago was on the practice squad and took minimal snaps as the starter.

Man, you sure do have some inside information! Flynn's career is done due to an injury! I wish I had your sources.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Right now we have a QB that knows the playbook and can't play in Rodgers. We don't need that in a backup with Flynn as well.

I was rather pleasantly surprised with Tolzien. He has a much stronger arm than I remember. For the most part he made some nice decisions with the ball. Sure he also made a couple poor ones but how much can you expect from somebody who was on the practice squad a week ago.

He zipped some nice passes, threw with some touch at times, and the sidearm to Kuhn showed some nice improve. He managed the offense very well, moving up and down the field more than a couple times.

If a couple PIs get called, who knows.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I, too, was super impressed with Tolzien. All things considered, he did a decent job. I would stick with him.

This game was a classic clusterfrick. Losing EDS and Barclay hurt, for sure. Oh well. All we need to do is steal 2 or 3 wins in our next 4 games. That would give us a shot at 10-6 or 11-5 with a healthy return of Rodgers and some others.

Maybe we split that. Maybe we surprise one of those teams and steal one, getting 3 wins in these next 4. Maybe, we win them all… wishful thinking, but possible.

If I'm Mike, I shitcan Seneca last night, bring in Flynn as the backup. Ok, maybe take a look at Flynn first. If Flynn can't go it, call Graham Harrell.

I've heard Flynn's got tendinitis in the elbow. That's treatable with alternative modalities like acupuncture. I've got some special kung fu linimints and stuff that could help. I got scar tissue in my arm from baseball, and if I needle my arm first, it's a huge difference.

We have been nothing but tonic to the Giants when they are ailing. Now they are coming off of 3 straight wins… would love to shock them and take them down in their house. It is a dream, but I would love to see it happen. Tolzien or Flynn. Doesn't matter to me. Get somebody ready to manage the game and hand the ball off!!!!

On another note, why is Mike McCarthy asking our 3rd string QB to make these back shoulder throws to a WR running a post in the back of the end zone and expecting him to hit it? There are probably 7 QBs playing now that can make those throws. It is almost as if McCarthy refuses to change his game plan. Refuses to recognize he had his 3rd stringer in there, with little to no prep.

Isn't getting your entire team prepared for Sunday part of the job description? Yourself as HC included? Like, what's the plan should Wallace go down? Keep throwing?

wow.

beast (3h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (3h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (3h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (4h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (4h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (4h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (5h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (5h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (5h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (5h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (5h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (5h) : 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 (5h) : 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 (5h) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (5h) : 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 (5h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (5h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (5h) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (5h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (5h) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (5h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (5h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (6h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (6h) : 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 (6h) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (6h) : 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

Mucky Tundra (6h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (6h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (6h) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (6h) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (6h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (6h) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (6h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night

Mucky Tundra (6h) : ok scratch that

Mucky Tundra (7h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : KC jumped and they call it on Eagles. WTF refs

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : If he was offside why did you let him pop the QB?

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : I like that Eagles are controlling time of possession so far.

Mucky Tundra (7h) : If the Eagles are going to win, this is how they do it: jump all over the Chiefs and don't let it turn into a close one

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : Bad throw created that penalty.

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : Amazed Philly got that hit to the helmet call.
