I'm pleased that Aaron Rodgers expects Jordy Nelson and Jared Cook to be back soon, but for some weird reason, I have far less optimistic expectations. How do you all feel?

If they expect those two receivers to be back soon, then I guess that's what we should expect. Any player can be lost for the season on any play, even in practice. So I guess having "far less optimistic expectations" has more to do with you than reality.

Something seems especially fishy about Cook's situation.

We will see them when we see them. If they are about to come off the PUP, great.

The first 12 games of the season don't really grab my excitement or interest all that much. If players start missing games that last quarter of the season, that's when I get concerned.

Missing practices? Nah, I'm not concerned. I think Clay Matthews missed his first entire exhibition seasons and I believe he has turned out okay. I'm just not that optimistic about them coming back for practice because I've seen too many players dance around skipping practices and still show up when the games count.

Fact is Green Bay's TC started a week or so early, so they're probably just holding these guys out for that reason. But we've seen guys with ostensibly minor abrasions miss entire years and even have their careers end. We've been snake bit. We do not know what to expect, at all.

We got an extra week of practice and haven't even started the "regular" preseason yet. I'm not too worried about it, especially with Jordy. He just needs enough time to get confident on his knee other than that I don't care to see him in any of the fake games anyways.

The offense hasn't exactly been lighting it thus far.

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 (6h) : 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 (6h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (6h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (6h) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (6h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (6h) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (6h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (6h) : 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 (7h) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night

Mucky Tundra (7h) : 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.
