Bills release Leonard Fournette from practice squad
Playoff Lenny won't get a chance to assist another postseason win over the Chiefs.www.nbcsports.com
He had almost 1,500 yards in the regular season & another 181 yards in the playoff game. Whatever his speed is, I’ll take it lol.I don't know about the Speed part... Everything else? Sure looks like it.
Packers @ SF - 9 - TLDR? SF wins. Let me tell you why if you wish for some details though.
First the Packers. Their offense is one of the weirdest ones I've seen. Outside of their rookie QB who recently has been very good (and overall very good the entire year) they have no stars save maybe Aaron Jones. They do have a lot of 2nd tier players though. Very much a committee offense that is more the sum of its parts. But the lack of a true star or even true #1 play maker to lean on is a concern. While their offense isn't highly ranked they've had a fairly strong 2nd half the year and are un the uptick compared to their year overall rank of 12.
Their worse performances of the second half were Tampa which has a good D and it was a bit of a low possession game in which they only scored 20. And Chicago which was an incredibly low possession game and they did much better than their 17 points would suggest. In fact i would classify it as a good offensive showing in the second half. But while this team may be better than they look on that side of their ball if anything their D is worse than it looks. their 2 best games of the second half came in the very low chicago possession game and a game against the Vikings where they gave up 10 to a 3rd and 4th string QB. They did hold the Lions to 22 when they kept fumbling the ball and couldn't get out of their own way and they held the Chiefs middling offense to 19. But any suggestion this slightly better than average D is anything close to as good as they may look in their last 2 regular season games and most of the Cowboys game just isn't so. This D lacks talent particularly on the back end outside of Nixon. They have not faced many top offenses. When they played the Lions who weren't fumbling they game away they got scored on. When Dallas got out of their own way they got scored on. SF will score on them too, but will it be enough?
SF is a team i don't need to get too into. We know about Kittle, Deebo Aiyuk and McCaffrey. We know how good their D is with the likes of Fred Warner, Bosa, Hargrave and Ward among others. Their pass and run D are both legit and they get turn overs. In the end, the only question on the team is Purdy. How will the 2nd year QB do? Well if last year was any indication, he'll do his job. I won't call him a great QB as he has the best cast since KC a few years back when they had all those stars and were lighting up the world, but he is a good player and seems to be able to execute and take care of the ball.
Overall it is hard to see how SF loses. I can't find an edge for GB at all. It would need to be just a total let down. I think GB can be somewhat competitive with SF's D, though I'd give SF the edge as GB's O is only pretty good even with Love playing some borderline great ball. But I don't see a way SF doesn't light that D up unless Purdy self destructs. I see GB putting up a fight, but SF fans can comfortably relax before the 4th quarter even starts. Holding and never letting go of a 2 score lead by sometime in the 3rd at the latest. SF 34-GB 20
