Green Bay versus Pittsburgh game thread

oh the humanity!!!

Jordy Nelson limped off has not returned

Markice Pouncy had his ankle turned completely sideways and was carted off, he might miss the opener.

Now Stephan Tuitt for Pittsburgh had his own guy slam into the side of his knee

I hate injuries, but that's part of the game. Still haven't seen 2 dozen of our own players on the field due to injuries.

Hate to see big names hurt in meaningless games. Count me in for not having Gronk and Jules out there.

I don't wish for injuries but the last 7 months have left me so jaded and cynical that I don't give a fu.ck about other teams losing players anymore.

I love seeing rival teams get weaker, but I prefer it through bad management and players losing a step, not players losing a leg.

Hope they get better soon. Pouncey can take his time though, he seems like a POS human. But still, get better, eventually.

GB's full starting offense has scored 10 points (while giving up 2 on a safety) in 2 full quarters of the preseason, wonder if some of their fans are up in arms.

The Green Bay fanbase was nearly as freaked out after 4 games last season as we were so yeah, probably.

I doubt it, if they're smart. Pre-season games are only for trying to build a team and find good depth. Who cares about the score. I'm sure teams wanna win all their preseason games, but I've seen the Pats go 5-0 in the preseason then 5-11 in the regular season, then I've seen us go 0-4, and then win the SB. It's all about evaluating the players.

Don't root for injuries, but seeing Rodgers without elite weapons for the first time in his career would be interesting.

I think it ended up being an ankle injury for Tuitt, shamarko thomas rolled up on him a bit trying to make a tackle on Lacy.

Wouldn't be surprised if Pouncey's season is over. Tuitt's didn't look as bad, but always hard to tell with this stuff. Wouldn't be surprised if he misses week 1, at least.

Those are all big injuries. Packers have to feel somewhat good about watching Nelson walk off on is own, I would think.

Relax. R-E-L-A-X

Thats what I and about 10 million other people said when Brady walked off in 2008.

Respect. I understand that. That's why I said "somewhat." I do understand that we still don't know what's up at this point, but it has to make you feel good anyway to see the player walk off the field instead of being carted off. That's all I'm saying.

Nothing official but indications are that Maurkice Pouncey has high ankle sprain at the very least.


High ankle sprain "at best" for Pouncey, week one getting easier.

No Bell, no Pouncey. Those are two gigantic blows for a very very good Pitt offense.

Pouncey seems to get hurt a lot.

So the Steelers announcers just said something that would be hilarious if the Pats guys said it....

"We will have to stick around for the head coach's post game press conference to find out any late breaking news on these injuries".

Possibly no Brady trumps them not having Pouncey Bell Ben Brown and my binkie from last season he is better than Watkins.
Dont know how he fell so far in the draft still.
Sighs

Was BB the one who started being so vague about everything or did guys kinda do it to some extent before him? A lot have coaches have started doing it.

I don't know. I remember that moron on the Bears, after the Pats were blowing them out, after celebrating a sack while still being down 50-20 or something like that, jumped in the air to celebrate, and landed funny like Nelson, and blew out his knee. Nelson came down really strangely. Also, maybe I'm just getting old, but why the hell was Nelson jumping for that pass. If he just stays on his feet he catches the ball, spins and gets more yards. Seems like guys jump to catch passes headed right to their hands.
