Well this sucks. The Packers lost 4 of 5 games when Watson either didn't play or had to leave after playing after less than 25% of the offensive snaps (excuse the plagiarism from another article). Needless to say, I sure hope Doubs can suit up to take a little pressure off the rookies.
If MLF has some surprises and extra offensive creativity in him, now is the time to show it. Same with Barry on the defensive side. Need a big, big day from Aaron Jones!

It does concern me that Watson is missing games due to his hamstring issues. 3 last year and already 1 this year. The problem is that he is our #1 receiving threat. I really wish Gutes could pull the trigger on one reliable, veteran WR to give us more WR stability? Love could use more veteran stability this season...

Lots of players end up being too fragile to play in the NFL. Watson appears to be one of them.

To quote Vince Lombardi "what the hell is going on out there?" The number one cause of hamstring injuries is lack of proper stretching. Please give the memo to the training room, players and WR 's coach.

How many games did he miss last year? So with the knowledge he got about what it takes to be ready for the NFL last year, he couples that with an entire preseason to get the finishing touches in place before game one, and play with kid gloves on for the few plays he takes. And this is what you get?

GLASS

And Doubs is questionable. If he doesn’t play then the total career NFL receptions for our whole roster of WR & TE would be 5 (Toure).

What year was the hamstring invented? As a kid in the 50-60s, I never remember a Packer (back then they didn't work out until training camp) develop a hamstring issue.

Not a good start for Watson's career. Last summer he had clean out of the knee due to pain and played about 46% of snaps as a rookie. He barely played in preseason and misses week #1 with a hamstring. Some players are injury prone while others rarely will miss a game. I hope he recovers and has a productive 2nd season, though maybe there is a cheap veteran waiting for a call. You know there will be others knicked up as the year goes on.

Oh no, the dreaded Packer hamstring has struck again. It must be something with the water in GB.

This is some bad luck, like not having Kelce, or some other major part of a team's passing game.

This is good news for guys who want to get on the field and show what they can do. For somebody, this is an unexpected opportunity I'd love to see the youngsters make a couple of back-breaking plays against the Bears.

edit.....

OK, We'll start Doubs and Toure, but we're going to have Reed and Heath in the rotation. Musgrave is going to get the targets that Lewis and Tonyan got last year. Deguara will get some opportunities. But it's still going to be Jones/Dillon for half of the plays. That's four WRs, and two of them need to separate. My money would be Reed and Doubs. Let's hope they can hang onto the rock a little better than those butterfingers in KC.

What better time to allow WR4-6 to step up? Adding a veteran Free Agent WR is more harmful than helpful. Why is he still a Free Agent? Given the entire TE/WR corps has five NFL catches and there is no inkling of playing in February 2024, just spread the targets out amongst them all. Experience to sort the long term wheat from the chaffe…

I don't remember - Does Green Bay have to move someone off the roster to bring up one of the PS receivers for a game? Melton is fast.

Did anyone sign Jadakis Bonds? Might be worth a look for practice squad.

Pretty soon he gets my label of bust o mania. He literally has done nothing for a second round pick.
Fear is if he is a bust and a Gutt pick, is Love?

I remain cautiously optimistic but, sophistry and illusion will not win any games. On the positive side this could be a great game for Samori Toure.

Over coming adversity is the measure lf every NFL team. We'll have an early view of how this Packers team handles the adversity of playing the opening game without Watson. GPG! Thanks, Since '61

I wonder if they elevate someone from the PS. With Doubs Questionable it’s very tenuous. Oh well. My draft crush has been Grant DuBose. We might be seeing him sooner rather than later.

My relatives raised horses—mostly quarter horses, but a couple of thoroughbreds too. The thoroughbreds were awesome looking athletic specimens, but it seemed they were more delicate—twitchy—more difficult to maintain. This is Sorta how I view Watson. When he’s in the ring, he outshines the others. Can he stay in the ring?
Our receivers must NOT perform like the Chief’s receivers on Thursday (Kadarius T.).
Go Packers!!!
