Week 2 Lead Up: Buffalo

[Newz]

I'm hoping we have everyone healthy but the guys out for the season (Grant, Harrell) and on the PUP list (Bigby, Harris, Starks) for Chicago Monday night. We have 10 days until that game. Hopefully it is doable.

As for Buffalo, rest anyone that needs it and just find a way to get the W.

If we come in there looking to blow them out, we should be able to win with our offense alone. Anything less than 30 points against Buffalo and I will be extremely disappointed in our offense.

I say go up by three touchdowns and go into McCarthy conservative mode with run run pass while benching anyone remotely injured.

* LB Desmond Bishop (hamstring), LG Daryn Colledge (illness), FB Korey Hall (hip), DE Mike Neal (side/rib) did not participate in practice and are questionable for the game.
* CB Brandon Underwood (shoulder) was limited and is questionable.
* Charles Woodson and Chad Clifton practiced and are ready to go.
* Colledge came in sick this morning and will be monitored. Bryan Bulaga would start at LG if Colledge can't go.
* Hall torqued his troublesome hip on Thursday but will be given the 48 hours to get ready for the game.
* Mike McCathy on Neal: "Mike Neal is getting close. Had a chance to watch him a little bit, go through the rehab. I don’t know if he’s going to make it. I don’t like the fact that he did not practice today. We’ll evaluate him."
* On whether RB Dimitri Nance could contribute on Sunday: "I really can’t answer that question. I think he’s a very bright young man, just from my conversations with Edgar Bennett. But he is coming from a terminology offense that’s a lot different than ours. But it’s still football. If he was to be up on Sunday, we would definitely have a package for him."

Just start Bulaga anyway. There is no point in running a sick Colledge out there even if he does say he's ready to play.

My guess is that Bulaga will be starting either at LT, RT, or LG at some point in the not too distant future.

I'd prefer to see McCarthy keep Neal inactive for the Buffalo game even if the doctors give Neal the ok to play. We shouldn't need Neal to beat the Bills and i'd really hate to see him aggravate his injury and then be out 2-4 more extra weeks.

Packers are not a hard nose cold weather team so home field isn't that great for them. A dome would fit this team better.

You are only looking at one side of the ball, cold weather impact on the passing game is overrated, wind is bad sure but that can happen in September or January. Even if the game turns into a running game I will take our run defense against any running game that we would face at Lambeau in the playoffs. We have one of, or possibly the #1 rush defense in the league so even if the conditions weren't ideal for passing I'd take our rush defense + home crowd against anyone else in the NFC.

All of this.

#Packers nugget: if defensive lineman is needed in goal line situation & they're short staffed, Trgovac says it would be Sitton, then Wells.
