7) The Packers won 7 of their final 8 in the regular season. They finished ranked 2nd on defense and 6th on offense. The Packers defense ranked first with 30 interceptions from the pressure packages, first against the run, and first in turnover differential.

Urgh. Whenever a professional uses yards instead of points, I want to smack them upside the head.

We had the 3rd ranked O and the 7th ranked D. Our non-elite D showed their true colors in the Playoffs. However, our O is elite. It can score on anyone, as '09 proved.

With the OL repaired, it will be even better. Here's to hoping a 2nd year in the new D bumps us up to elite status.

Points without yards and vice versa are misleading stats.

Good point.

I've listened to enough Wayne Larrivee on Westwood One to realize he gets excited whenever there's a big play; it doesn't matter who makes it. He seems to genuinely enjoy watching good play. That's how I am too (unless I'm watching a Packers game), which is why I'm a lousy cheerleader overall.

I like Buck. He and Aikman are probably my favorite announcing team. I really hated Collinsworth at the beginning of last season, but he grew on me as the year went on.

Larivee, I hate. His voice annoys me, and as others have pointed out, he gets excited for the other team to do well. If I'm following a game on NFL Gameday radio, I'll go so far as to listen to the other team's announcers, versus listening to Larivee drone on. Thank God for this site.

Can't remember who was broadcasting when the Pack played the 49ers on Fox last year. I think Billick was the color guy. The PbP guy called our coach "Matt McCarthy" and "Mike McCartney" in the same game. Horrible team.

Collinsworth and Aikman IMO are the best. They both seem to actually know about football and it really shows.

The thing I don't like about Wayne Larivee is when he gets excited in his voice when the opponent does something good. It kills me! I think whoa yes yes wait a tick wtf!!

I hadn't thought of that, but you are so right and I think subconsiously this also is one of the things that bothers me. He is the Packer's announcer, when he gets excited I expect something good has happened for the Packers only to be disappointed to find out something bad has happened.

packerfanoutwest (3h) : don't care

Zero2Cool (9h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (16h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (16h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (17h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (17h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (18h) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
