More info on Packers trio of ankle injuries expected today
Teams are catching on to the formula that propelled the Seahawks to two consecutive Super Bowl trips, it’s time they change that formula if only by one variable – getting their money’s worth out Graham. They had two leads in this game, they ran 55 plays and only had 2 turnovers, and they advanced into Green Bay territory on 6 out of their 10 total offensive drives.
As much as I hate to do it, I like a lot of games again this week.
With or without holdout strong safety Kam Chancellor – heavy accent on withoutsince there remains no end in sight to that impasse – this team obviously has more time than last season’s squad did to turn this around. McCarren first joined the team’s broadcasts in 1995 and enters his 21st season calling Packers’ games. Chicago has beaten Seattle in their only two playoff meetings, in the divisional rounds of the 2006 and 2010 seasons, both at Soldier Field. Bouncing back after letting a 10-point halftime advantage slip away may steel their resolve later in the season. Rodgers is one of the best fantasy options each week and he comes in with 5 TDs and zero picks in two games this season.
But it’s those losses that hurt. Now comes a tough test at Green Bay with 1-2 staring them in the face.
Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford had a battered chest and body.
Holy crap it felt so good. Rodgers connected two plays later to Richard Rodgers for the go-ahead touchdown pass with 9:28 left.
Luckily for the Packers, the X-Rays on Lacy’s ankle have come back negative, but it is still expected that the star running back will be forced to miss some time as the season marches on over the next few weeks.
Also, defensive end Josh Boyd, injured his ankle in the first half and never returned to the game.
Russell Wilson was kept relatively quiet.
K Mason Crosby (273) is five field-goal attempts short of surpassing Ryan Longwell (277) for the most in team history. Given the offense he’d be working in and a potential starting workload, Starks would be an RB2 with double-digit point potential as the Packers host the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football.
Unlike the Bears, the Seahawks did not stay down.
Collinsworth made that point during the Packers’ 27-17 win over the Seahawks on Sunday night shortly after Raji stuffed Marshawn Lynch for a 2-yard loss in the first quarter.
Fred Jackson caught the first. Green Bay scored on each of its next three possessions. But after losing the first two games of the season, that personality is not there and a new one is emerging.
But Elliott still got credit for the interception because he recovered his own fumble at the SEA 37.
■ The Packers of 2011 set the franchise record (14) for most regular-season games in which the team held a lead of at least 10 points.
Eric Goska is a Packers historian. The last thing the Packers would likely want to do is push Lacy back to early, resulting in a worsened injury.
