Hitting MetLife tomorrow with @trader jake. We’ll see if the Pack offense can bounce back….
The Packers have made a habit of playing down to their competition this year, but this would be really surprising, with no Dart, no Skat, no Nabers, and even no Slayton. I have a hard time seeing the Giants doing much on offense and expect Parsons and co. to get to Jameis Winston who is starting this week. Say what you want about Daboll, I don't think Mike Kafka is gonna be an upgrade.
As for GB, I'm expecting a pretty run heavy, deep shot gameplan. I think NY stacks the box against Jacobs, but volume wins out, and he has a good if inefficient week. I think Christian Watson is a sneaky start. Giants play a ton of man coverage (3rd most in the NFL) so deep shots are usually there for the taking. I think Love has a bounce back game, he really needs to.

Spin the wheel for the Packers offense, where it lands nobody knows.
Per usual for the past decade the Packers will play to the level of their competition meaning it's a toss up.
I'm just hoping for a win in what will unfortunately be another extremely boring game with yet another walk off win for whichever team has the ball last.

Embarrassing for the Packers. No resistance at all

Fair Tax!
I don't believe what I just saw.

Packers on a short week after a brutal home game against a top team, now playing an underperforming team who just fired their coach. I expect the Pack to be really flat today.
Musgrave with a pathetic effort, fumbled back for a loss. Doubs drops an easy first down as he's wide open. Yeah going as expected here

I don’t think any of us had Malik Willis TD pass on our bingo cards.

We’re supposed to have bingo cards?

Uh, did Jacobs just leave with an injury also?

And just like that, I (most likely) lose my best RB before he can do any damage.
Can't believe Jacobs couldn't get Ito the end zone on one of those two golf line touches.... potentially torpedoes my week 11.

I never understood why Tracy, a converted WR, is never used to catch balls or lined up at WR with any regularity. Methinks he had bad hands or something, but usually you use a guy like that in the screen game or something, it's mind-numbingly puzzling to me.

Holy ... .how do the refs overturn that catch and fumble?

But not Jacobs! He's probably OUT. No need to risk him aggravating whatever his knee injury is.
I've had the worst luck this year. I lose players early in the game before they can give me any points.... other teams in my league lose players to injury late in the game —after scoring a ton of points.

Thought Theo would be a smash play today as Jameis loves receivers with size. Not working out so far for fantasy though.
Yep ive lost Burrow, lamb, hampton, and jacobs all to early game injuries that literally cost me 4 games.

Saw Jacobs out with a knee injury. MetLife claimed another one?

Given the wind and all the missed XPs in this game, I can understand the decision to go for it, but the play call and execution left much to be desired.
