Watson, Doubs Helping Packers Replace Adams

GREEN BAY, Wis. – How would the Green Bay Packers replace the unstoppable force that is Davante Adams?

That was the question from the moment they traded him to the Las Vegas Raiders on March 17. On Dec. 19, the answer was delivered in a frosty victory over the Los Angeles Rams.

Rookie Romeo Doubs, back after missing four games with an ankle injury, caught all five targets for 55 yards.

Rookie Christian Watson’s four-game touchdown streak was snapped and he didn’t have any big-play catches, but he caught four passes for 46 yards, drew two penalties and delivered a key block on Aaron Jones’ touchdown.

Veteran Randall Cobb caught three passes for 32 yards. All three receptions came on Green Bay’s first touchdown drive, including two that moved the chains on third down.

Veteran Allen Lazard caught one pass for 7 yards.

The Packers won a lot of games with Adams – including 13 each of the previous three seasons. Now at full strength and with some seasoning, this group is good enough to win games with, too.

I'm thinking it's unlikely Packers would have Christian Watson if they still had Davante Adams. Duh.

ESPN hasn't said much since Week One.

Rookie WR's
70 Receptions
898 Yards
11 Receiving TD's

Davante Adams
86 Receptions
1,275 Yards
12 Receiving TD's

And I think Raiders are underusing Adams!!

Imo, we shouldn't be consumed in any way what Davante Adams does with the rest of his career. Personally, I'm thankful for what he brought to the Packers while he was here. I think we had a fantastic draft to address the position. I like all 3 of those guys.

Zero2Cool (1m) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (1m) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (11m) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (16m) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (19m) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (19m) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (21m) : if bucs win out they win their division

packerfanoutwest (36m) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (40m) : Packers will get in

beast (40m) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (46m) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (46m) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (2h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (3h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (3h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (3h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (4h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (13h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (13h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (17h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b
