OT: Another Packer wr injured

any word on the injury?
 
Wow, I felt they could survive Nelson and still contend. This is too much, however. They'll still be decent so long as their version of #12 is out there, but their road to the SB just got way harder. Now it really does depend on that D playing more consistently and whether or not Avant has taken another step forward. This, of course, depends on if Cobb really does miss significant time.
 
Packers play the Seahawks week 2

No Jordy Nelson and it seems unlikely Cobb will be 100% by then. Might not even be close to ready, actually. I saw someone say he'll miss 5-6 weeks
 
Thank Goodness that we have a smart commissioner for the "official" patsfans FF league who actually waited to have the draft. Good call, @Brady_to_Moss.

Guys like Nelson, Cobb, Martavius Bryant, Arian Foster (and even Brady's uncertainty) would've sucked to lose without knowing their status heading into the draft.
I don't play FF every year (haven't played seriously since about 2012). But when I would play every year prior, I ALWAYS held my draft after the 4th PS game (sometimes right before) to account for injuries. I, like my Pats, would roll the dice on an injured player and just stash him from time-to-time. I never understood why some people hold drafts so early. I know one dude at work who had his draft two weeks into TC. What?
 
Wow. Rodgers with a chance to build some serious legacy here if he can get somewhere this season.


He'll have to pull a Brady.
 
Didn't see them winning SB without Nelson anyways, so this doesn't change my opinion. Barring injuries, I expect Seattle to be back in the SB after beating either the Saints, Cowboys or Cardinals in the NFCCG.

I'm just not big on the Saints defense to trust them. I think Minnesota could be a major sleeper this year.
 
Daaaaaamn that's a big loss. GB has bad luck with injuries
 
They can have Dobson for a 2016 2nd and a 2017 3rd.
 
wow, they're going to struggle early on in the season
Yup, but they stumbled a bit out of the blocks last season too (though not primarily due to key losses). I just view them as somewhat like that Pats in the sense that they have a great QB that can mask a lot of deficiencies and key losses. Will it be enough for them to be in the SB? Only time will tell. I still think they'll finish atop their division, if only because I do not take the other teams seriously. All bets are off in the playoffs though, as anyone can win with a bounce of the football (as GB is well aware of) . . . well, other than the Pats because our balls don't usually have enough PSI to bounce.:rolleyes::p

By the way, am I the only one on the East Coast right now? It's 2:40a and I am on Patsfans.com. I can't sleep and I have football on my mind (I really should reconcile with the GF - she just makes me so :mad: at times). I'm actually downloading the KC game from last season as I type this. That's one of the two or so games from last season that I somehow never got on my HDD.

It didn't sound too bad with him. But definitely a concern for them considering they have to face Seattle and KC in weeks 2 and 3.

I have not followed many other teams this off season, so I ask is KC supposed to be good this season? They seemed legit for a little while last season and then fizzled pretty miserably. I do know Jamaal Charles called himself the Lebron of football . . . ridiculous considering a) he's not the best RB in football (at least not in my opinion) and b) basketball is inherently a two-way sport. Unless Charles is getting on the field defensively, I do not see how he can make such a proclamation.

LOL! I know! I just cannot sleep. I guess it does not help that I knocked out at around 6:30p on Saturday. It was raining all day so I was stuck inside. I had to cancel two of my photography gigs because of the weather. There's only so much photo editing I can do at home before I get a little bored with that (the one aspect of photography I actually don't like). Ah well. If I have to be up, I can't think of a better place to be . . . well other than inside my GF's . . . never mind. What, too strong?;)

All I know is they have Justin Houston and Tamba Hali coming off those edges. Watch out.

Some of us are in the exact same boat...need a break from work/school/both, sleeping issues due to stress, and a wife or girlfriend who's been acting like a ***** lately?

Welcome to patsfans.com "after dark," where creeps like me and @Joker will share your hatred of all things Goodell related.

The ability, or lack thereof, for Jeremy Maclin to actually give them a real weapon at WR may go a long way towards serious contention.

If not, they're probably just another 9-7 or 10-6 team with a tough defense in the AFC, which is full of such contenders.
