Brett Hundley Challenge

A completion rate of 60% (according to NFL stats the #15 QB is at 64%. I ignored the first 6 who had 1 pass/ 1 completion.)
A QB rating of 90. Same issue. The mid-line is 91.5 and I rounded down.
Avg 200 yards per game. He's off to a slow start but the bar is set so low that he should be able to do it. # 28 QB is Jacoby Brissett and he is at 201.3
Avg 1.5 passing TDs a game.

Who's with me?

I think Hundley is gonna meet the above criteria, and that barring injury, the team will be 9-7 or better.

Some will blame the coach for calling the wrong plays, the receivers for dropped passes. The defense for not getting stops. The weather for not being September-like. The OL for not giving him enough protection. Whatever the excuses, Hundley will be found lacking.

I hope Hundley doesn't get close to those stats. Because I believe if he does we are counting on him and the passing attack to much. I would prefer him to be around 55-60% completion, 170ish yards and even TD/INT ratio. Which would put his rating around 70. If we want to win, we need to depend on the run game with Hundley just making a few throws to move the chains when needed.

Not with you. I think the Hundley experiment is going to fail for same reasons Trubisky struggles in Chicago. Our WRs aren't very good at creating separation just like Chicago's. Deshaun Watson would have trouble excelling in our O. He's the hottest QB in league because he has speed at WR. Pair a great QB with a great speedy WR and you get Watson and Fuller. Pair an average to below NFL QB and WRs with average speed and you get Hundley and GB WR corps.

Yes , beast, I'm just thrilled this is how it is. Only been screaming about need for speed at WR forever. That lack of speed is going to doom us in the step down to Hundley. The GOAT was truly making chicken salad out of chicken "crap".

Watson just that much better than Rodgers...or...could it be SPEED? The speed of the Texans vs. the pedestrian nature of our WR's in the speed department?

McCarthy's play calling has been somewhat predictable. And as I stated it is a lot of verticals with deeper crosses. A lot of sideline routes. A lot of bubble screens. He depends on players beating the guy across from them, not scheming guys open. I would also ask, how much of the Packers passing success has been the result of Free plays, and busted plays where Rodgers scrambles to create time.

Houston matched up great with Seattle's secondary due to mobile QB who has speedy WR's. Ever seen any QB do to them what he did in Seattle? I watched most of that game. It was UNREAL. Watson SHREDDED them as if they were even worse than our secondary. It was a thing of beauty. Will Fuller can fly. Our WR's can not fly. Makes it very easy for Legion of Boom when they face us. That's the matchup. The SPEED differential.

Our fanbase doesn't see our WR corps properly because 12 makes them look so much better than they are. You usually hear that tired refrain regarding any great QB but in this case it's absolutely true. Rodgers throws into the tightest of windows and sometimes he's breaking the windows with his throws. Now, our WR's are very good at making plays on the ball but they don't have speed which is what Texans WR's have. Hard to notice them without a real QB. Now, that they've got one that offense is a machine. A total machine. It's a little envy inducing to watch them play. It's better than the old Rams offense even without Faulk. Lamar Miller is no Marshall and still Watson is KILLING secondaries with these speedy WR's. Fuller is as hot as Randy Moss used to be.

Think back to how this offense looked without Jordy. Why? Jordy that great? The connection between Rodgers and Nelson was off the charts. Jordy is a total pro and Rodgers is the GOAT. There are few times in Jordy's career where he was running free. Go watch Will Fuller's highlights. He's well beyond the Legion of Boom due to his unreal speed. Jordy couldn't do that. Easy pitch and catch for a long TD. How many of those has Aaron ever had? Most of 12's TD's come in street ball running around for 8 seconds hoping his cement footed WR's can create an inch of separation. It's truly something to behold the difference in watching Houston and Green Bay but our base thinks we're "loaded" at WR. Poor Hundley doesn't have much of a chance with these guys. Doesn't have the much needed chemistry that is needed for them to be useful assets to him.

If you get a chance to watch Houston...take it. That game at Seattle was about as impressive of a game from a QB you're ever going to see on the road in a hostile environment and he may have been outplayed by Wilson. What...a...game.

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (7h) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (12h) : Merry Christmas!

beast (20h) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
