Ended with 5 receptions for 42 yards last night. Not an eye-popping stat, but a solid contribution.
Lazard on Packer roster
- Thread starter flycy
- Start date
But when you look into the context of those catches. Most of them were for 1st downs (and a TD that should have been). That is really big in a game like that, where it is important to keep moving the sticks and keeping the ball in your possession. As an NFL fan (not of any team) that cheers for players, this year has been fun to watch.

I was cheering for Lazard to get the touchdown even though I do not like Green Bay at all, but I do think it was the right call. His left hand touches out of bounds before he then falls backwards and hits the pylon with the ball. They marked the ball pretty much where his hand touched out of bounds.
I noticed last night they motion him around a lot, many times to get numbers/blocking advantages. Fun to watch
I thought he had it but it could have been just short. Either way I thought the spot was really short. Should have been closer not that it mattered.
I guess Allen is now officially big time. He made it on Tonight Show superlatives. “Two bolts away from being Frankenstein on Halloween”
This was pretty funny. For those that don’t do the twitter thing.
I noticed that while watching. Didn’t necessarily get targeted a ton, but it seemed like he was in there a bunch.
I noticed on several successful longish runs by the Packers that he had a very nice block on his guy and likely helping the run gain 4-5 more yards.
Even with Adams coming back this week, most likely, Lazard is still going to get a lot of snaps. he could realistically be the WR2 or WR3 for the Packers the rest of the season.
cool stat here:
- Allison has not improved and seems scared to get hit
- MVS has speed and can be a long ball threat but isn't super consistent
- Kumerow has his moments but I don't think he's that great
- Shepard was cut
cool stat here:
Rodgers may have not had numbers like this from practice, but he knew who was getting it done for him in practice - that is why he wanted him in the games.
AL's first stat of the day vs. the Chargers: a blocking-in-the-back penalty.
The Chargers are all up in the Pack's business so far.

The Packers finally looked like the Packers mid-way through the 4th and got a TD. Allen had catches of 14 and 17 (longest play from scrimmage vs. the Chargers today).
That is not a bad day, 3 catches on 4 targets. Not sure what happened on the one he did not catch. Rogers was off target a lot in the first 3 quarters.
The non-catch was a long throw like his TD a few weeks ago. Rodgers had to throw off his back foot and it was behind AL.
He may have been able to turn and make a play on the ball but the timing didn't sync up.
Looked good in blocking again and I'm surprised they're not valuing that more vs. Allison who didn't look as effective in that aspect.
On a bad offensive day for the Pack, Lazard has the most receiving yards and the best average yards per catch of all those catching balls.
