Starks replaces slumping Lacy as Packers’ No. 1 back
“If you don’t want it up, just give it back or put it somewhere and I’ll just return it afterwards, but I had prior permission for this”.
“We’ve got to get better”, veteran wide receiver James Jones said. The Panthers defeated the Packers 37-29 at Bank of America Stadium. Paul said the banner was in compliance with stadium regulations even though the team policy is that no banners or flags expressing support of visiting teams may be affixed to or displayed on surface. Sometimes you do get frustrated during the course of a game. “I’d be surprised if the group didn’t play better”. It should be competitive throughout the majority of the game, but Green Bay should be controlling it.
A persistent Newton tracked down the ball and brought it to the crowd, where he hands off most of his rushing touchdown balls. “It just has to be a ball that has to be thrown outside”, Newton said. A major disappointment this season, Lacy carried just five times for 10 yards and fumbled once, leading to a Carolina score.
PACKERS BICKERING: Packers coach Mike McCarthy downplayed a disagreement between a few of his defensive players on the sideline during the fourth quarter.
“The back people were like, ‘can I take your picture?’ And I was like yeah. We’ll stay with the one-two punch”.
On Sunday, rookie Devin Funchess had three catches for 71 yards and his first career touchdown.
“We played two undefeated opponents (at the time) at their place”, Rodgers said.
“I was like, ‘Oh gosh, oh gosh, ‘” Toler said. Then Newton started running in their direction.
At least for one week, perhaps. Detroit has lost 24 in a row during that span, 5-17-2 ATS, but is 4-5-1 ATS in meetings where it has been the underdog of seven or more points. He is completed almost 65 percent of his passes. This is a guy that had two seasons running for over a 1,000 yards.
The Lions have the NFL’s worst record, are last in scoring defense at 30.6 points per game and second-to-last in points scored at 18.6.
Off-field turmoil has also surrounded the club. After winning their first six games, the Packers are winless since coming out of the bye.
-The team will honor retired general manager Ron Wolf at halftime of Sunday’s game. They’ll play the 6-3 Atlanta Falcons twice, and Carolina is set to visit the NFC East leading NY Giants.
Dobs told WISN 12 News that he spent about $500 on a vinyl sign that said “North Carolina Cheesehead”. “It’s exhilarating and also frustrating when you make a mistake like that. We expect our team to compete, improve and win”. Matthew Stafford can’t continue getting battered the way he’s been.
The groin injury could be a lingering one and if Lacy is limited in practice this week, fantasy owners should consider using Starks over him. It’s a product of us not playing to our standard.
