Days before the start of his 11th season, McCarthy said one of the main goals each season is to take the NFC North, a title that eluded the Packers in 2015 when the Minnesota Vikings ended Green Bay’s four-year run atop the division.

It’s been a long offseason for Lacy, at least in the press.
So, it shouldn’t be surprising to hear that the Green Bay Packers would have an interest in doing another game at Lambeau Field then.
The Jaguars’ defense has a lot of size overall, including most of the guys in their secondary. Rodgers, who turns 33 in December, also altered his diet as he tweaked his offseason conditioning routine.
“It”s comforting,” Rodgers said of having so many receivers, “but we need to see production. Here’s a collection of comments from the locker room this week. Most likely, Janis will only play special teams as a punt gunner and only be used as a receiver in an emergency, but that remains to be seen. “I look at it as long as the chains are moving and I don’t drop the ball and I score touchdowns, I’m pretty good”. You have an idea where the ball is going to go or who is going to have opportunities in the game.
“Physically, yeah. Mentally, totally”. “This is win at all counts. You want that in your quarterback”.
What message would Lacy like to send on Sunday?
“We are proud to be involved in an initiative that will benefit the greater Green Bay area and have a lasting impact on our community”, Murphy said.
They were 27th in rushing (92.1 yards/game), so they relied heavily on the pass to put up points, often in comeback efforts where Blake Bortles was chucking the ball around the field. Again, it’s a tough business, but we’re going to move forward with the guys we’ve got. “We’re going to drive our legs and do what we have to do”. With young key pieces such as T.J. Yeldon, Denard Robinson and Marqise Lee leading the way on offense, it’s only a matter of time before Jacksonville has a major breakthrough and this becomes a team to watch out for.
Nelson tore the ACL in his right knee in a preseason game last summer at Pittsburgh, an injury that knocked him out for the 2015 season.
Luckily it’s only Week One, so this game is not almost as crucial as a late-November contest but it could still have ripple effects momentum-wise so early into the 2016 season. While I was there I think I had a total of 500 defensive snaps, which isn’t a lot at all. The game, to be played at EverBank Field in Jacksonville is slated for a 1:00 p.m. ET start time and will be broadcast on FOX. On the ground, Brandon Burks rushed for 31 yards in 12 attempts while Brandon Ross added 24 yards in 10 carries.
According to ESPN’s matchup predictor, which is based on its Football Power Index, Green Bay wins the matchup between the two team 56.8% of the time.
The temperature in Jacksonville on Sunday afternoon is forecasted to be as high as 93 degrees Fahrenheit.
“I’m playing football”, Nelson said Tuesday in a brief response when asked if his knees were an issue.
