Micah Parsons

But to me, as it stands right now, from momentum and power ranking standpoint, it was better to just let them kind of still be in the middle of the pack.

I looked at it more like I want the Packers to lose as many games as possible without Micah Parsons before he comes back.

That's fair, too.

Which is...

But they're flawed defensively, in my opinion.

And the numbers in all the other games have kind of shown that, even with Aiden Hutchinson out there.

But it's also the prospect of getting Micah Parsons back.

This team was a completely different football team when Parsons was healthy.

I don't trust him at all.

408 says, John, you aren't wrong, but think about Miles Garrett and Micah Parsons.

It often blows up in your face.

That's a good point.

I mean, I know that Lucas Van Ness has ascended and gotten better, certainly not first-round quality type of better, but there was nothing from either end yesterday that even gave you a pause for a moment to say, yeah, they're really coming along.

We're all sitting here desperately waiting for Micah Parsons to return, who I still think is only going to be about 70% of what he is, and I don't think it's going to make that big of an impact.

Do you?

No.

I'm not blaming the Packers and Matt LaFleur for everything because injuries are taking its toll on this team.

I can't believe we're just praying this hard for Micah Parsons to come back who's not even practicing yet.

And defense wasn't their

issue yesterday.

I didn't see as much as I thought we would see to try and get Jared Goff off a spot.

But, again, it's hard for me to be like, yeah, Jonathan Gannon's a problem with no Zaire Franklin and no Micah Parsons and no Javon Hargrave and no Edron Cooper.

Like, you got Tyron Hopper going and guarding Panay Sewell

and leaving

He couldn't break any of his big runs off yesterday, and I give credit to the Green Bay Packers defense because you're talking about a defense that did not have some of his stalwarts on the inside.

How can you blame anybody else in the team itself, including Micah Parsons? I'll get to that at the end.

First of all, we got offensive linemen that can't walk and chew bubble gum, and if you throw a stunt at them, they don't know who to block.

Packers probably beat themselves in at least one of those.

Dude, I heard something that Micah Parsons is going to be back for three, four weeks during the game.

I don't know if that's

confirmed.

I don't know if you have X in front of you, Alex.

Maybe you could just do a Micah Parsons name search, see if there's any news on him and give Packers fans an update.

But the way I see it, is Micah Parsons coming back this season? Oh, no.

I mean, we've got to have Micah Parsons back on the field.

I don't trust him at all.

408 says, John, you aren't wrong, but think about Miles Garrett and Micah Parsons.

It often blows up in your face.

That's a good point.

Right.

Micah Parsons might be back for Green Bay at that point.

The point being is that's tough competition.

Yeah.

Yeah, and the Packers get Josh Jacobs back.

What's the Micah Parsons sitch? Is he week to week at this point? Is he a threat to return any game now? It feels like we've got to be getting

close, doesn't it? I don't know where the Packers' bye falls in all this.

Here's another one for you, Grady.
