Bulaga a "Long Shot" to Play

From NFL.com...

Packers tackle Bryan Bulaga (ankle) is also a longshot to play against the Seahawks, according to Rapoport.

If this was preseason Rodgers would ride the pine. Expect 10-13 points from our O today. If D is bad, we'll be routed.

Defense always ahead of offense this time of year which is why we almost always start slow and I picked Seattle.

Hoping Rodgers doesn't get hurt. This is football version of Irma with LT situation.

Sucks. I can't bring myself to get worked up about it though. It'll be what it is. Let's see what we get out of our running game first.

That sucks, though I expect we me might have the TE lined up next to the RT to help against speed rushes.

I believe Bennett and Kendricks were both ranked top 3 in pass protection for TEs last year.

I like that our new TEs can block but it's hard vs. Seattle in the pass game as it is without being able to utilize Marty B. That is a huge loss for us.

Gonna be a very bad matchup for us today. Don't get too down if we get buried.

If we win this one, it's incredibly encouraging going forward. Our DL may give their crappy OL fits like there's will ours. I'm very excited to see how dominant our DL is today.

Take the under on this one. Slug fest.

He plays. Even at 70% he will suck it up, tape it up and trot out to his position. If the Seattle defense lines up wide and he can't get outside to cut them off GB may make a change but to start the game Bulaga will be there.

Where is that info coming from? Bulaga on a bad wheel might be as bad as the alternative.

Curious to see the gameday inactive list 90 minutes before the gane. If Bulaga is active I believe he's going but not until.

Lied to again by the crack(ed) medical staff. Or maybe they were just wrong. 🤣

Sprained MCL. I wonder if it just happened. I'm not sure he should have been practicing, if he had an MCL.

Could be a few weeks.

No biggy.

Next man up! Might do some some chipping; but we need 5 guys in pattern and a QB makes those around him greater and executing the offense.

If a guy gets open early or we run the ball well, none of this is an issue. Execute.

packerfanoutwest (7h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (7h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (7h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (7h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (8h) : Who? What?

beast (17h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21h) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
