Hurts is still in the protocol.

I'm assuming just procedural as they haven't pushed him back into practice for 2 weeks.

This is hilariously spot on.

I can already see MLF walking up to the podium with that stupid look on his face with his first words being It starts with me.

And the Packer's front office and fan base loves treadmills and mediocrity so we'll be doing this exact same exercise with MLF yet again next season.

This is a fair and accurate assessment.

The thing that sucks is the team that the Packers are most likley to step on their own dicks against are the Eagles.

My guess is as good as yours. It's possible they were just being cautious with little to play for in Week 18 and didn't want to tip their hand on his availability.

It any event, I'm far more concerned about Barkley and that O-Line than I am with whomever plays QB for them.

Carolina was beating them in Philly heading into the 4th quarter a month ago. They got killed on the ground for 200+ yards, but put the clamps on the passing game.

I suspect we will have the same game plan. Keep everything in front of us, and hope to force them into passing situations where Hurts stinks it up.

Up to 4.5

Up to 5.5

Back to 4.5. All the early money was on Philly (82%). Packers getting some bets this afternoon.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I know that Barkley ran well without Hurts for a while, but I think Hurts is integral to Barkley's efficiency similar to Lamar with Henry.

Sell out to stop Barkley on runs out of the shotgun and live with Pickett running out the back door. If you do that with Hurts, you're eventually going to get torched by some 20 yard wide open Hurts runs. Therefore, Barkley has massive lanes to run.

With Watson out, I wonder if they might try to utilize Musgrave more as a threat in the seams to occupy the safeties. The offense definitely suffers without Watson's deep threat, and they don't have anyone who can replicate that on the outside at WR, but they may be able to open things up by using Musgrave.

Not exactly a positive update on Love

In a 1 game win or go home scenario there's always a chance right? However without Watson and Alexander, and with Love and Evans maybe not playing I just can't get the hopium flowing. Last year I threw a bet down on the Packers to beat the Cowboys but this year I'm taking the Eagles to cover. Hope I lose some money.

Still confident/hopeful this team is going in the right direction, a couple of nice free agent signings and a good draft and the superbowl window busts wide open.

I have a hard time believing there's a chance Love doesn't play.

Me too. Still, if he has lingering nerve issues in his throwing elbow, that's a big problem

I think Love is bluffing. I'd be shocked if he couldn't play.

They have to create a misconception on his injury and downplay it. Make them think he is a wounded animal and Malik might start.

Opposite to what the Eagles are saying about Hurts looking world class amazing, first day back from concussion
