I didn't want it, because I thought the Packers would be an easier matchup... that being said, we better make them eat their words.

I actually like this matchup considering we won't be facing a real QB. Shut down Kaep like last time and put some points on the board. Rodgers is another monster all together.

It'll be a battle, but a battle we can certainly win. We have a better and faster defense than GB. We are at home. And Kaep proved again that he's not exactly great at passing (that one TD to Vernon Davis very easily could have been a pick. He just threw it up and the defender couldn't recover from being out of position). 

As long as the offense actually shows up and puts up a few TDs, we have this game. GB's defense only gave up 23, and they are decidedly inferior to us.

Shula better have his poo together. That's the key. Defense will be fine.

Thing is, Harbaugh has no doubt made adjustments for this rematch. I'm hoping Ron has done the same. I also expect them to play dirty.

It just kind of pissed me off because it comes off like they fully planned on this and beating Green Bay was a given in their minds. From what Kap and Bowman said post-game, they were looking past the Packers and wanted this game for revenge.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By CRA · Posted

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.

      Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
