Packers/Raiders Postgame

LUKE23 · Post #1 » by **LUKE23** » Mon Dec 12, 2011 1:04 am

Don't know if mentioned, but the Packers amassed 466 points for the season with the game today, passing the 2009 Packers for the highest scoring Packers team of all time. The +188 point differential is 4th all-time, trailing the 1962 (+267), 1996 (+246), and 1931 (+204) teams.

Their 35.8 ppg trails only the 2007 Patriots (36.8 ppg) all-time.

Dominating performance.

Lets pray Jennings knee injury was just a strain/sprain. Five weeks until playoffs.

Anyone have any news on him?

If we lock up HFA next week, Jennings' injury will probably lead to a lot of back ups playing.

First round bye clinched which is cool and home field is close to locked up which is also cool. Hopefully Jennings is ok but we can win without him, it will just be a bit harder.

I think people are over playing this injury. I think the entire team wants 16-0, including MM. I don't think one injury is going to change that mind set. If Jennings is out for the year, I'd argue the offense needs to play to get ready to compete without Jennings in the playoffs.

I just don't want to get this board in the morning and see a "Jennings out for season" topic.

The silver lining is this is Cobb's chance to step up and prove he is more than a return man.

Re: any word on Jennings -

Aaron_Nagler Aaron Nagler
Mike McCarthy says Greg Jennings has a knee sprain - which means he could be fine or he could have had his leg amputated in the locker room

Also of note:

He did not - thank god. RT @SYTYCanBePithy: Did he use the word 'significant'?

I'm much more interested in how Finley, Jordy, and Jones will step up. Cobb will still lose snaps to DD if Jennings is out.

I will assume Jennings is out for at least a week. And if he's out for the season, so be it. A big loss but we have weapon after weapon. DD has been the forgotten man, he had a good game today and there is no reason he can't have a great final 6 games.

I've pretty much assumed they would all year, ever since the onside kick against Denver it's pretty apparent he's coaching to dominate.

I like that MM is gonna go for the 16-0. But it never suprises me when minor looking injurys put Packers players on IR. Everytime Rodgers takes a hit I hold my breath and tell my TV to put Flyn in. We can easily carry on without Jennings the rest of the regular season but we have to have him in the playoffs. Hes too important and is one of the best if not best WRs in the NFL.

Better than everyones Megatron who they claim is the best WR in the NFL though great players don't disapear for half a season!

Fixed.

Rodgers told Wilde that now that we have a bye, Jennings has 5 weeks to get ready for the playoffs.

Post #17 » by **MickeyDavis** » Mon Dec 12, 2011 2:13 am

That's how you have to look at it. Of course 16-0 would be great but it's all about another trophy.

DD's actually been very reliable the last few weeks. I have full confidence in him (and the other WR's) that they can step up if Jennings is out.

I personally love the way the team and coaching staff has approached the topic of 16-0. They openly admit they have been talking about it since they were 7-0 or 8-0, but they they are using it as motivation to work hard and stay focused. They already have a Super Bowl so it helps to have a little added incentive to make sure they don't get satisfied with their past success.

Apparently Hawk was active but didn't play. Interesting.
