Hundley looked like crap today.
Believe it or not, prior to the season the majority of local sports call-in discussion was whether or not the Pack should deal Hundley for a 1st or 2nd round pick in the draft.Originally Posted by teegre
I realize he had a decent preseason in 2016 - but not that good.

He's been doing some good things.....but not today.
Plenty of weapons in Green Bay. If im Hundley, im throwing up a couple of prayers to Jordy. He'll be the biggest threat to us on SNF
Can’t sleep on Adams or Cobb...

Packers' fans aren't hopeful...

Here's other Packers' boards (geesh, there's a ton of them), although they don't appear to have threads up yet as of this writing...

Can see another 40 point game for this team.
Maybe, but a shutout is a possibility too
The Steelers supposedly lose to “inferior teams”. (Thanks for nothing, Mark Kaloby.) Well, the Steelers have not exactly faced a murderer’s row in the past 17 regular season games...
...and yet, the Steelers are still 15-2 in those games. Weird.
SUMMATION:
So, either Mark Kaloby was wrong (used misleading stats), or... well... I guess he was wrong.

Substitute Mike Tomlin for Mike McCarthy and Jones for Hundley in this observation by Peter King about Hundley and it certainly sounds like a familiar complaint by some Steelers fans
I’ve said this before, but this could be a good learning experience for Mike McCarthy. His backup quarterback, on a team when a backup has been needed fairly often, is a very important player, and the backup should be getting some playing time in the fourth quarter of games that have been decided—and maybe in the first three quarters of some other games. Hundley just does not look ready to succeed against pressure.

No lead is safe in the NFL, just ask to the Atlanta Falcons.
And it's rare in the NFL, you lead by 25-30 points or more, so it would have changed nothing for the packers or other teams that loses its QB.

Agreed - just passing along that the Steelers are not the only team criticized for how it handles playing the backup
In the salary cap era teams usually are screwed if the franchise QB is injured and that can happen just as easily in the first quarter as the fourth quarter
Of course I'd love to see us score another 40+ game and win, and it looks to be doable, but like they say, " any given Sunday". I sure hope Tomlin and coaches have the team 'up' and ready to play like last week....for the whole 60 minutes !

I just hope that we play like we should in this game. The Packers are coming off of being shut out at home by the lowly Ravens and we just dismantled the Titans. This better not be another game like Indy.

35-10 Hundley is horrible at home. Wait till he hits the road against this hungry D.
I agree.
This situation supports my thoughts that you can have great talent at WR, such as Nelson, Cobb, Adams......but without a QB that can get them the football, they are not productive and seem to be not as good from a statistical point of view.
So, Aaron Rogers makes these WR's look great, just as other great QB's make their WR's look great. At this point Hunley looks far from even average, so stop the run game, make the game come down to a Packers passing game and cover the spread.

No chance of a Rodgers return?
He is on I.R until week 15.

They'd be idiots to bring him back this season. Their season is over.

I think it's going to be on Sunday that the players who are in the hall of honor will be honored ....
Is Terry Bradshaw will be in Pittsburgh on Sunday?

No way - he can use doing the Fox show as an excuse
I highly doubt Lambert will show up either
There is a chance that both starting tackles are out for GB. This needs to be a tone setting game by the Steelers pass rush. Hundley is mobile and can move well. So Watt and Dupree will have to come hard off the edge to create pressure, but not totally lose an outside contain - something that Watt really struggles with as he loves to slide inside to create late pressure. Hundley throws "ok" on the run. His biggest problem is he is really really slow to see and process what is happening post-snap. Makes a ton of throws a beat or two late. Possible that the Steelers DBs can bait him into some INTS. But, each week he looks a bit better and there is quite the collection of receiving talent on GB - so if he can ever start delivering balls on time and into NFL windows, it can get bad real quick.
I think the Steelers should have this one, but I always get burned on that. GB is going to be desperate team. As they are only one game out of wildcard spot, but can not fall further out of the race. Like I said in an earlier post somewhere or other, GB has been pretty clear that the plan is to sneak in as the second wild card and then have Aaron Rodgers lead a playoff run for the ages.
