Packers banged-up D takes another hit with LB Nick Perry out
According to Weather.com, there is a 90 percent chance that snow will hit Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Sunday.
“I feel awful for Nick”, McCarthy said.
With victories over Philadelphia and Houston the past two weeks, the Packers are one-third of the way to that target.
Officials separate players in a small skirmish during a game at Lambeau Field in 2009 between the Seahawks and Packers. Perry came back briefly with a mammoth club cast protecting his hand before being shut down for the day, and McCarthy announced Wednesday that Perry has already been ruled out for this Sunday’s game against Seattle. I don’t think you have to go past that.
Before then though, the Packers must keep their current two-game hot streak going if they’re going to have any shot at making up their two-game deficit behind Detroit. “You play the game how you’ve always played the game, and that’s with tremendous passion”.
Kickoff is set for 3:25 p.m. – and it’s a game you’ll see ONLY ON FOX6! He started five of the 16 games he played last season.
The Packers and Seahawks meet Sunday for the fifth time since 2012. Especially against a seahawks team that many believe is a contender to get to the super bowl. “You’ve got to come out there-its playoff football”. Our job is to put players in position to be successful.
Points were going to be at a premium anyhow under stellar playing conditions.
The Packers no doubt will test Thomas’ replacement, but within reason. “I don’t think that’s practical”.
Perhaps the Packers are, too. The Seahawks will try to pick up another December win this Sunday afternoon on the road against the Green Bay Packers. Starting inside linebackers Jake Ryan (ankle) and Blake Martinez (knee) also have been limited this week.
NOTES: LB Mike Morgan (hip) was listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report but Carroll said Morgan would dress for the game. “He’s being what he is”.
“This isn’t a new guy to me”. Holding onto a 19-7 lead with less than four minutes to play, the Packers committed a series of mistakes that led to a historic collapse and an epic comeback for the Seattle Seahawks.
Seattle leads the NFC West by three games over the Arizona Cardinals (5-6-1).
Seattle has long had one of the best defenses in the National Football League, and Sunday the keys will be in the red zone and on third down.
The Seahawks have rushed for at least 125 yards as a team in three straight games. This game’s over/under comes in at a combined 46.5 points. LB Bobby Wagner has NFL-best 127 tackles, 68 solo. The Packers are 10th in the league in that category also with an average of 24.6 points per game.
The Packers’ offense is completely built around Rodgers, who is second in the league in total passes thrown. Rodgers tied with Saints’ Drew Brees for most red-zone passing TDs this season (23). Aaron Rodgers is on fire and wide receivers Davante Adams and Jordy Nelson are legitimate threats in the open field.
A second-round pick by Seattle in 2013, Michael has been in this situation before, facing the Seahawks previous year during a brief stint with the Dallas Cowboys.
