Jokes aside, this is a surprisingly smart move from Nagy.  They aren't winning this year.  Throwing Fields to the wolves against the Rams in the first game at SoFi with fans, with that defense, on SNF, is a disaster waiting to happen.  Fields is the future, but I'm totally fine with him coming along slowly.

Slowly may mean Week 2. Team PaGy are on a short leash as they should be.

Still, it's the right move in Week 1 to start the Red Rocket.

Agree 100%. Starting Fields would have been dopey bordering on irresponsible.

Rodgers says Championship or Bust

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/aaron-rodgers-puts-championship-or-bust-label-on-packers-in-whats-presumably-his-final-season-with-team/

"in what's presumably his final season with team" is speculation - not fact.


I was one of the few here over the summer that said they expected Arod to play in GB THIS year. So, I assume I am one of the few here who say that he will play in GB next year.

I mean...doesn't using the word presumably mean that the author was acknowledging that it was speculation and not fact?

Absolutely. I was just reinforcing what he said. And adding my speculation based on my reading of the facts - just as I did over the summer when I was one of the few here who said he would be in GB this year.

I further speculated that he will be there next week as well based on my reading of the facts.

Skill positions good, I expect the line to be average at best however.
Yes line is very young in some positions

Big crapshoot until Bahk gets back, but I expect the guards to be serviceable until Jenkins is back at his old position. The ceiling of this line hinges on Myers - they could be still land in the "very good" tier if he's a serviceable replacement.

I don't doubt for a second that Jenkins will slide to center if Myers is terrible.

KC playing Mahomes extensively in exhibitions so he can get in sync with his new offensive line. Interesting to note the Chiefs also used a second round pick to draft center Creed Humphrey. Will be interesting to see which rookie center fares better over time .

So what specifically makes you say that based on a few quarters of preseason football. How do Loves numbers in his first two games compare to Rodgers in his first two games.

He looked pretty good to me, not perfect but what are you expecting?

I fully expect Pack/Saints to be moved to Dallas.

Yeah.  Saints are already there.  Pretty much every indoor stadium other than Dallas is being used that weekend.  And there's no way they're not playing a week 1 game.

I wonder if that location could benefit the Packers. Less Saints fans show and maybe some Packers fans absorb seats?

Yikes, hard to imagine a game being played in NO in just two weeks. That it was @NO didn't register for me until late last night.

Rodgers has had a bit of success there too.

I would guess that if they simply put the tickets on the open market, that it would be 2/3 Packer fans.  A ton of displaced Wisconsinites in the metroplex.

After Katrina, the Saints played their home games in LSU's stadium. Did Baton Rouge also sustain a lot of damage from Ida?
