The only scary part is what he said about the turnovers because that is the truth. I have confidence that the offense will once again have limited turnovers but I can only hope that the defense will get as many as last year.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I think Brandon Underwood and Pat Lee will contend for the 4th CB spot, with Bush relegated to backup safety and ST player. I also don't know if Barnett measures closer towards average. I think he's been a very dependable MLB/ILB for us the past couple of years.

Otherwise a good article.

Ah yes, Underwood. I thought the writer was forgetting someone there. I also agree with you that he underrates Barnett. And I agree with doddpower about the #3 receiver and the fullbacks.

Some questionable statements here, but like I said, no glaring errors, and at least he didn't just copy what others have been writing.

As I can nitpick anything:

Underwood was not mentioned. He is definitely ahead of Bush and Lee.

Likewise Wynn was not mentioned though he will have reps on the D-line.

The search for a punter is downplayed. It is possible that neither makes it and Ted Thompson finds another punter during the final cuts. This is more of a problem than people realize.

LB Jones has a target on his back.

Dom Capers defense is now on film and very creative people trying to figure ways to exploit it.

Someday -- probably not in my lifetime, but someday -- there will be an article about the Packers that does not start out with a Brett Favre reference.

Good article, good comments. It is odd that Underwood isn't mentioned. I guess he just missed it. The league has had a while to see Caper's defenses. I believe we have a larger advantage with the defense having a year of experience playing in it. Being able to maintain the turnover differential will be difficult and how much Jolly is missed, mainly if a D lineman is hurt, are the biggest question marks. If Harrell can stay healthy it would be a huge plus. But that and the inexperience of a rookie add to the question mark of Jolly.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

He also said last year was the first season for a team with a 1,200 yard rusher and two 1,000 yard receivers. That's not true. Green Bay remains the only team to achieve this stat, but they also did it in 2008. So there two for two.

Aside from nitpicking, Green Bay has the talent to reach the Super Bowl. It's just about taking it a step at a time and being level headed.

It's not a fluke with this team. They've been consistent with turnovers on defense, even with the change to a new D Coordinator. One, btw, which should only increase the aggressiveness and hence, the number of turnovers.

beast (2-Jan) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over

packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor

Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : Colts-Giants now a tight one
