Whatever gives this team a victory. I would prefer to not treat it like a practice where we just give reps to our depth for the sake of reps. It's only the second week of the season and I believe all of our starters need as many reps as they can get to be prepared for the tougher games. I want to see us dominate the game for 60 minutes, not dominate for 40 and then watch 20 minutes go wasted.

I'm on the fence with this one. I agree with Beast in that it would be a nice opportunity for the non-starters to get into the game and get some reps, but also I think that the starters should not be short-sticked. Furthermore, I am not so sure that we should assume that we are going to be able to absolutely dominate this game. I hate to say it, but Packers tend to play to the level of their opponent. Look at last year vs. Tampa Bay. That should have been an ass-whooping of the Bucs, but that was not the case. After that game, I have come to understand that it is never safe to fully assume that we will annihilate a team.

So, that hybrid fuck known as Michael Vick made our rushing D 30th?! Maybe it was the rum, but I don't remember any of their actual backs running rampant on us. Oh well, that ranking will steadily decline throughout the season.

Now to the Bills. I will never underestimate a team as I did the Bengals and Bucs last season, but in my heart of hearts I HAVE to think ALL facets of our game gets a lil dose of "just what the doctor ordered". <---famous last words.

Pack 31 - Bills 17.

I think that we (as fans) are taking this game too lightly. It seems like everyone is treating this as a preseason game...(ex.: "we'll probably get Nance a lot of time in this game, because we're only playing the Bills"). And that's only one example.

I just hope that the players aren't thinking the same way, because this could easily turn into a "Tampa game" if we aren't careful.

I agree I'm taking the game lightly... and I agree I hope the players aren't.

I was hoping they run up the score early and then take Rodgers and the vet guys out. Get some reps for the non-vets.

this game is the same type of scenario that we had with the bengals week 2 last year too, them coming in 0-1, sucking it last year, break out as a great team.

that being said i think the bills are still going to suck

You mean you didn't think the Bengals were gonna be good? Thanks for reading my comments. I bet you thought I was full of shit about Cedric Benson too, huh?

Okay, you're right, 99% of what I say is false anyhow. I forgive you!


The Bills are not the Bengals and do not have a good defense, solid passing game and a good running game. Okay, they have a decent running game when they click, but that's about it.

We SHOULD win this game by two or three touchdowns. Barring any major injuries.

I'll be seriously upset if this game is close.

If GB is as good as everyone says they are, this game should be over at halftime.

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
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
