I know he had a wrist injury and maybe was worse off from the concussion, but where is he during the game? If he is that bad that they are avoiding throwing to him, then he needs to be off the field. I don't think that is the case though.

We need to get him the ball, and it seems to me like Mike McCarthy has him running deep routes all the time when we have an OLine that can't give Rodgers 3 seconds to throw. Driver is getting the ball because he is still doing the dirty work he always had. I would like to see Jennings back to running some short stuff. He isn't the only guy that can go deep. Keep Driver and Jennings short, with Jordy and Jones deep. That will keep the extra coverage short and possibly open the long ball for the others, while also getting Jennings back into the mix.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Odds are Jennings is seeing some extra coverage. It isn't like we had trouble moving the ball through the air yesterday. If they want to take Jennings away then fine because we have Driver/Finley/Jordy/ and James Jones.

I am sure they are doubling him, but he has all but disappeared. While Jennings was coming up, he was a beast but Driver still showed up when he was getting doubled.

Jennings needs to find a way to beat the doubles and get open, or they need to change his routes to make doubling more of a risk.

He got paid this last offseason didn't he? ;)

Seriously though.. Jennings is a glider more so than a sit down receiver, with the protection issues Greg is becoming a after thought more so than a primary target..

Call it is trickle down effect.. it is why most consistently competitive teams build from the line out.. we have holes on our roster.. most notably on the offensive line at the moment.

Off topic , but I am pleasantly surprised by the play of Wynn on the defensive line.. gives us a little more depth than appeared to be in July.

Jennings is making it impossible for me to continue to argue he's a top 10, that's what's up.

And I've noticed he's doing a lot of whining after plays this year. I don't recall it that much the last couple years. It's getting annoying. Shut up and play.

I think I would be pretty pissed too if my QB couldn't get me the ball because of a non-existant o-line

It all comes down to the oline.

No run game to respect.
No reason to rush more than 4 to get pressure on passing downs.

This allows apposing defenses to sit back and play coverage, take Jennings out of the game. Not to mention Jennings is more of a deep threat than he is a possession receiver, and with no time to throw the plays simply do not develop.

Fitzgerald would look bad playing with these scrubs.

Fan Shout
Zero2Cool (5h) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.
packerfanoutwest (6h) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it
beast (7h) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done
Zero2Cool (14h) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.
Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore
packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!
Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!
beast (25-Dec) : 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.
