Wow.

Huge loss

shitty if true

...and the day after Jared Veldheer signed with the Colts

IN EDIT: Veldheer was signed to the Colts' practice squad. I think the obvious move right now would be to try to lure him to the Packers' 53 if they feel he's got anything in the tank.

Perfect ending to a shitty 2020, THAT SUCKS GIANT 8==D !!

Cheers,
BoHunter

Damn!

SHIT. Why can't we have nice things? 96 and 10 aside, we've had the WORST luck since Favre and Rodgers came around. 9 legit shots at a ring since 95 and we come away with 2. Some of this freak playoff luck... some just chokes. But still... eff.

Think about it:

95. So close.
97. WTF.
98. Rice Fumbled
01: Playoff Favre. Sigh.
02: Favre... sigh
03. Sherman, you suck. Go for it on 4th and 1. You have the best rushing team in the league. Also, more playoff Favre.
04: Suspend Randy Moss.
07. Playoff Favre... again... sigh...
09. That was a frigging facemask.
11. Yeah. Death in the football family 3 days before the game. Great.
12. Fire Capers
13. Fire Capers again.
14. Fire TT, MM, Capers and Slocumb.
15: Go for 2 MM!!! Fire MM back in 2014.
16. Fire MM back in 2014. Again.
19. Fire Pettine
20: I ain't giving in yet. But losing your all world LT with an aging QB in week 17 isn't ideal.

Damn. That's a huge loss going into the playoffs in another 2 weeks.

The bears would be jumping around now with Bakh down. Hopefully our oline will be able to hold up well

Dammit! Slide Jenkins over to LT, call up Runyan to play LG or RG. Next man up!

This is a huge coaching failure. we all KNEW 2020 was waiting to strike back at us, and was obviously biding its time to DEC 31. All practices should have been cancelled. Players instructed to break glass on emergency bubble wrap until Jan 1 2021.

Get well soon Wagner! We'll need you now.

Heal up Bakh, get ready for 2021!

I'm not going to lie. I just googled: "Can you play OT with a torn ACL." Short answer, no. I guess some 5th year senior at UT Knoxville did it kinda a few years back. But he wasn't going to make the NFL. Bakh would be insane to throw away that future money.

Shit.

Gute. Go get Veldheer on IND's practice squad. NOW.

That is friggin terrible.

This is not an issue for GB's offense. The offense is quick and smooth with or without Bakhtiari.

YES this sucks but THANK GOD Lindsey is back. Slide Jenkins over to LT, Runyan if healthy (He is right?) to LG, and Patrick and Turner at RG and RT respectively. This O-Line has been doing it all year, moving this guy here, putting this guy there, they've made due and did it well. The Packers (Knocking on wood) are a VERY healthy team right now even with the loss of DB. Lets be happy the Packers already navigated though 3 games of this and did just fine.

Bakhtiari was injured against Houston , Minnesota, and San Francisco. They won 2 of those 3 and they didn't lose against the Queens because DB was injured. This is a close knit bunch who really seems to have each others backs. Just 16 more quarters...

Wow. Just wow.

Crummy news. We played without him 2-3 games and did okay. Next man up. If this team has anything, It's OL depth. Now with snacks, DL depth. We have very versatile guys. Gute has us stocked up as good as we could have hoped for there. GPG

We may be able to still field a good starting 5 but now we can’t have any injuries to our line going forward. Big Buzz Kill!!

Wow. Just terrible new for Packers and Bahktiari. Tough to replace the best LT in the game.

Have to suck it up. Expect if Wagner is healthy, Turner moves to LT with Wagner at RT. If no Wagner then probably Jenkins moves out to LT with Runyan at LG.

Packers gotta stay focused and not let this become an excuse.

Likely won't have him for most of next year and possibly not at all. Big men can take a year plus to recover.

At least they have a few days to figure it out as opposed to it happening on game day Sunday, Runyan will fit in somewhere here, he has proven he's ready.

I wish I knew how well Njiman can play. I was hoping to see him start one of the earlier games that DB was out --- at least the first 15 scripted plays. This certainly keeps things interesting.

Ugh. The one OL who is really impossible to replace. Good thing the Packers have a solid running game.

Yoshi? Didn't they slide Jenkins to LT the last time Bakh missed snaps? I haven't seen any reason to think they would trust Yoshi out there. It's Mack week this week and the playoffs after. No time to be rolling with Yoshi.

Yes, terrible news, no diminishing it. (Our best to Bakh!)
However, the Packers can possibly overcome this with determination and strategy.
Let's see who might step up on the line. Perhaps the legend of Elgton Jenkins grows. Maybe another guy or two is ready to show something hitherto largely undetected.
Also, perhaps we roll out Rodgers a little more often; and use the tight ends and fullbacks a little differently; and adjust our play calling somewhat.
Let's see how the Packers handle this adversity.
It's quite a challenge, but in any challenge is an opportunity for growth, and even the possibility for greatness.
With the help of God, may we take this approach ourselves into the New Year.

Just hope we can come out of Bears game with no major O line injuries! with win and bye will have plenty time to really get line in sync, sure they will!

Well fuck

Year 2020 - one final kick in the nads

At PRACTICE!!!

"Men are nearly always willing to believe what they wish." - Julius Caesar

I've been warning about Bahk and his approaching enemy OX year since Jan/Feb. All is not lost...time for the rooks to step up. I've reposted my post ""My view on 2020 season..." below that was posted just prior to the NFL's first 2020 game. Pretty accurate on the players...off on the record as I anticipated MIN & CHI to offer more challenge in the NFC North.

"First, addressing the injury bug as it's nearly impossible to expect success without health. Injury prone 7 energy is associated with these players for 2020.
Most at risk: Crosby, Bahktiari
Others: Sullivan, EQ, Kirksey, Foster, MVS, King, Njiman, Bolton, Ramsey, Ervin, Dillon

If healthy, players likely to exceed expectations...OX & RAT year born players
OX: Alexander, Gary, Stepaniak, Runyun Jr, Savage Jr, Deguara, Hansen, V. Scott
RAT: Kingsley, Jackson, Sullivan, Crosby, Lewis, EQ

Earlier this year I warned our OL is in trouble due to numerous GOAT year starters (Turner, Linsley, Bahktiari). Their enemy sign, the OX, approaches and officially begins Feb 12, 2021. We're already seeing issues with Turner. I explained that a patchwork OL is likely by season's end. If the 2020 class OL steps up, we could see Gute win GM of the year if these rookies become starters, and, in conjunction, we see the likes of the 2019 & 2018 class, highlighted by the OX & RAT year players mentioned above, blossom. The worst thing Gute can do to mess this up is to re-up Bahktiari in Bahk's enemy year. While Gute stands to shine, Murphy and LaFleur are also born in GOAT years, so heat is coming their way. For Murphy, that may be repercussions of forcing the LaFleur hire. For LaFleur, that may be retaining Pettine, a HORSE. We are in a RAT year and HORSE and RAT are enemy signs. Despite numerous younger defensive players expected to shine, I'm looking for Pettine to fail to "bring it all together" with his brand of defense and be released after this year.

9-7 missing the playoffs"

God, I hate this year....

Losing an All Pro LT is difficult.
GB has the horses to keep the momentum.

Jenkins LT
Turner Guard
Linsey C
Wagner RT
Patrick Guard

Jon Runyon wild card
Josh Nijman capable guard or tackle

Depth
Ben Braden
Zack Johnson
***Jake Hansen on IR can return
***Jared Veldeheer
*** sign 2 practice squad OL

I'm speechless.

Wow. Just terrible. Sometimes I just hate football. Injuries play such a huge role.

Tough break. Next man up.

So far, they have survived getting dinged up here and there along the OL. This will be the biggest test yet.

I'm going to say, what nobody else had the guts to say. 30 mil signing Bonus. Mega deal for 4 years over 100mil. Now injuried. This injury cast doubt on Bahk now. Yes it HURTS! But BG needed to wait before he signed him. He's pushed the 30 age, where players just slow down and become injury prone. Bahk is now a stat. In the worse way. But the bigger unseen damage is the cap hit and losing others for an injured player. Bahk may never play up to his All-pro level again. Sure, keep your fingers crossed. But BG jumped the gun to soon with this signing.

Didn’t see this terrible news until this morning. Has anyone actually confirmed that the injury is a torn ACL.

Bak is our most important player after Rodgers. I would move Jenkins to LT since he is our best OL assuming that Wagner can’t go. If Wagner can play mover Turner to LT and Wagner to RT.

We can get past the Bears and with the bye we have 2 weeks to get set for the playoffs. Tough kick in the gut at this point but Bak could have been hurt on the first play of the Bears game. Injuries are part of the game and we need to play through it.

Happy New Year Everyone! Stay well. Thanks, Since ‘61

Next man up! Lombardi Trophy comin’ home to Lambeau. Mark my words.
