Packers-Falcons Inactives: Both Bakhtiari and Bulaga are out for Sunday Night...

RED ALERT. The Packers enter Sunday’s game with a pair of starting tackles that have a combined one start between them. The worst-case scenario for the Green Bay Packers has arrived.
The Packers will be without three offensive tackles tonight when they take on the Atlanta Falcons . That group of inactive players unfortunately includes both starters: left tackle David Bakhtiari and right tackle Bryan Bulaga . Also inactive is reserve Jason Spriggs , who was ruled out on Friday.
The Packers will rely on a pair of young tackles to bookend the offensive line tonight in their place. Kyle Murphy , who started last week’s game in place of Bulaga, will suit up at one of the tackle spots — the team did not announce which one — and presumably undrafted rookie Adam Pankey will get the start on the opposite side. Pankey was called up to the 53-man roster this week.
Should one of those two players go down during the game, it is unknown who would step in for them. None of the other offensive linemen on the 53-man roster have played a snap in an NFL regular-season game at the tackle position.
The Falcons’ pass-rushers will presumably be licking their chops. Vic Beasley led the NFL with 15.5 sacks last season and will likely line up all over the field.
Joining the Packers’ tackles on the inactive report are linebacker Ahmad Brooks , who continues to work back from a concussion.

How many weeks will this continue?

No thanks, Mike.

But with both starting OTs out, MM is going to need to be creative on offense and Rodgers is going to need to get rid of it quickly.

You have shorter reads in each route, you chip a little more, maybe double a few times more; but that doubler has to be ready to be a threat.

You don't run to run; you only run when it can be successful. If they stack the line every play, you pass EVERY play. Rodgers needs to be patient! Hit those short routes and when they come up make 'em pay.

On 😨 Let Julio get his 125; Ya gotta stop Hooper #1, Sanu #2 and those backs #3 coming out of backfield.

Remember when I said, "How many games will our players miss, just from hamstrings alone?" Get these guys the number of that yoga instructor. Hammies typically last what, 4-6 weeks?

The D and the Ts are holding up.

The offense is letting is down, in particular Martellus Bennett. And Mike. How about some traps, screens, misdirection? SLow down that pass rush.

I thought the defense did it's part. As did Murphy and McRae.

Take away that pick call against martellus and it's a whole different game. That allowed Atlanta to double up against us. Also, take away the offense's shit suckage, we could have had this game.

You simply can't run that offense if you lose all your best OTs... at least not if you want to keep the QB healthy.
