Two things happen in football when you play not to get hurt:
1. You suck
2. you get hurt

Okay Jordy's gone, boohoo, quit your b!tchin' and inveterate whining and suck it up and play like men. Every one plays 4 PS games and some play 5. If not playing 1-2 effing quarter in a PS game is gonna make this team healthier; then we got NO CHANCE of staying healthy through 64 quarters of real playing.
Mike McCarthy quit calling plays so as not to be distracted from managing general trends. His game plan for a fast start was to work out kinks in PS and that plan changed when Jordy got hurt. Then Cobb gets hurt and pull Adams, WTF. What a reactionary wussy way of coaching "this football team." Well Mikey I love ya, but the entire team got your message. He better see this as the wake-up call; or it will come around week 3 when we're 1-2 or 0-3. I can see it now; week 1 Sitton's toe flares up; the entire OL is then pulled in favor of 3 backups and Kuhn and Rip playing tackle. I mean WTF.

Oh and nice message sent to the back-up OL: "ya we trust ya...oh but we dont want Aaron Rodgers to get hurt if you play, so he's not playing." WT flyin' F.
Aaron Rodgers might be a little to dainty, opinionated and cerebral to step up on this one, plus he's one of the little b!tch whiners. If Daniels is worth 10M as he thinks; he'll be calling out anyone [even a coach] doin' his job like a little debutante.

One play 2nd and 3 at 13:43 1st Q; Packers in 2-4-5. Seen this Capers play 1000 times. He slants 2 DT left, the safety crashes the right C gap; the ROLB controls the Tackle and is 2 gapping [the Right B and C gap], the Right ILB [CM3] fills the right B gap if Rb is able to cut back, which any good back will do. These RBs practice this.

Murry ran through the B gap as Barrington was blocked by G on 2nd level and CM3 just stood there watching the play like any fan that bought a ticket.

Note: This is not a reaction to the game; alot of good things happened, once the wussiness went to the bench or grew a pair.

I don't think much is gained by playing Rodgers behind the back up line vs a starting defense and the risk was significant. These aren't games they are practice vs another team. I didn't think they should have played Cobb and Lacy either. It's one thing if the team is healthy right now let them out and get some snaps but without Jordy we can't afford to lose players like Cobb and Lacy for the sake of giving them extra practice snaps that really don't matter. This team didn't gain anything by having Cobb lay out for a pass from Hundley even if he didn't get hurt or by having Lacy get tackled a few times. If this team starts 1-2 the fact that some key players sat the 3rd preseason game will be a hell of a long ways down the list of reasons why.

I say leave preseason games for the guys trying to make the team or starters who are fighting for and have competition for their spot. Rodgers and co aren't really gaining anything facing the Eagles starters that they don't get at practice.

There is a reason most starting units play most of the third preseason game.

Agreed. We keep softening the game and still complain each reduced rep along the way.

No they don't we already know he can do that, coaches know he can do that, he already knows he can do that, Rodgers already knows he can do that. The guy has played in 52 meaningful regular season NFL games, 10 to 20 practice snaps against the eagles with Brett freakin Hundley throwing passes at him isn't going to teach him or anyone else anything.

Anybody can lay out for a pass. But it takes practice repetitions, to get good at that.

Like I said the guy has played over 50 nfl games he doesnt need 20 more practice reps than what he gets throughout the week to be ready for week 1. Shit the team overall is probably even better off with monty and janis etc getting those reps without even accounting for injury risk, they actually need them

The sport is based on speed and power, combined with colissions. People will get hurt. It sucks. However, it's what this sport is.

Jugs machines and film study only do so much for you. You just can't simulate game situations and collisions with non contact practices all year.

I agree with Steveishere.
Ok...let's say Aaron Rodgers played in the meaningless game yesterday, and gets injured.
How many of the guys here that are calling him a wuss would be screaming "WHY WAS HE IN THERE???"
Yeah....let's put our MVPS QB out there in a game that doesn't count.
Lose him and you can kiss any realistic hope of a super bowl possibility GOODBYE.
