JJ Watt Ruled Out Against the Packers

[SissyBoyFloyd]

We want to beat the Packers fair and square. Since a couple of their main players are out, I think that KK is sitting a couple of ours to make things fair. Watt is wrong with that. I'm just hopkins he's doing the right thing.

That’s just dandy.

Urban on Monday said he's eligible to come off the list today. If we're 100% vaccinated I think that means he just has to test negative once not twice but I admit I don't know.

Really hoping he can play. We need his size inside against their run game. With their WR's out I expect them to try and run the ball first to set up the pass, Watt has been so good against the run it's a huge loss.

Agree on D Hop I actually originally thought Our bye week was next week and now that I know it's not I'd be VERY careful with D Hop. if he shows any signs of hammy issues pull him out of the game assuming he goes.

Hopkins doesn't miss games. Especially a televised game against the Packers.

That's a bummer about JJ.. love that guy. But hey, we won our 8th game last year without him.. we can do it again this year!

 

[Crimson Warrior]

We might have to win a shoot out.

Murray to the rescue?

Watt was holding his arm/shoulder and wincing near the end of the game.

I think they are letting him rest with C.J. back.

They are playing the long game and taking their chances since Adams and Lazard are out and their DC.

 

[Stout]

This is bad, really bad. I mean, it's smart to let him rest, but he's our DL beast, in a unit that isn't very good and a clear weak spot. Our D just got significantly worse. This one...hurts. I'll be hard-pressed to continue my whole "don't break the streak" thing in the face of this news.

 

[Jetstream Green]

This is not bad, we might also be without Garcia our backup center, that's mucho no bueno... and it's Dogbe who is going to have to bawl as he has under the radar to solidify this run defense against Green Bay

 

[Covert Rain]

This bites. He was really making a big impact clogging up lanes.

 

[Bkbobo]

I agree. If we can get a lead on the Packers, then they are forced to abandon the run. Which not having Watt playing would not be as bad. But, if Garcia can't play that can be scary. Maybe this is the time to use Moore in jet sweeps and quick tosses. I still believe we can win.

 

[Dr. Jones]

UGH...... 2 weeks off I guess.

 

[Dr. Jones]

If we get Peters back, we can hopefully continue to win up front. I just really hoped for a monster push up the middle. Rodgers hates pressure in the A gap.

 

[AZ Native]

We might have to win a shoot out.

Murray to the rescue?

That's alway been that way at home with the packers.
