Given our increase in injuries, what positions/players would you pursue?

I think that without a legit running game/running back, we're not even going to the play offs. You can blame this on Mike McCarthy first as he doesn't call running plays. Then I'd make some Oline trades and then a RB. A good O line would make BJack look better and Arod as well which makes both harder to defend. Clifton and Tauscher need to be replaced.

Then I would look for an experienced Safety or corner, and possibly a return man. None of those are requirements, yet would help in our overall field position game (at which we suck!).

The fact that we are sustaining more injuries is exactly why we will not be trading for anyone at all.

Agreed. You can't fill all these holes with outside talent, and I don't believe there are many players out there available who are much better than the depth on the team.

If it was just Grant and Burnett, maybe. Or just Grant and Nick. Or just Grant and Finley... damn, that's depressing just to type.

I have to agree with you on this Zero, with so many holes coming up how can you make a vaild point on one trade and not another. Ted Thompson once again will be safe from the bashing for not trading to make a difference.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Of course you're not going to plug all these holes with trades, but there are some spots where we need some more help at than at others.

Bishop did a great job in relief of Barnett. There's a hole at ILB, but with the guys we have and Poppinga able to play inside a bit, as well, we don't need anyone there.

Peprah and Collins are the only guys we have left at safety right now, but I can imagine that we just sign someone untill Bigby and Martin are back.

The RB position could use some help. I don't see why everyone sees Starks as some kind of saviour, since he had a good, but not great college career... at Buffalo. And to add to that, he hasn't been healthy in ages.

NT would be a position where we could use some depth, but trading for one is next to impossible, since most teams are struggling to get even one decent player at that position.

And then the OLB position. We didn't get hit really hard with injuries right there, but as soon as Clay goes out, we're done. We can't get pressure to save our lifes. At least, not when bringing 4 from a normal package. I'd really like for us to take a look at a guy like Travis LaBoy again. I've liked Parys Haralson, as well, although he's a starter right now, so I don't know how willing a team like SF would be to give him up.

So really, the positions I'd like to see us get some help are #1 OLB and, maybe, #2 HB. Although I can imagine that we'd like to see what Jackson can do after last weeks showing.

Give a third day pick to SD for Shawne Merriman. He's probably gonna cut even.

The only way I can see us trading is draft picks as trading players deafeats the object

This isn't baseball. Trades rarely happen in the NFL during the seasons. While there have been a few trades this season, those are the exceptions.

My guess is the Packers consider going for Willis McGahee. That's a guess. I think something like a fourth gets it done. Maybe a pick based on performance.

Beyond that, not much else out there.

I like the idea of McGahee, but for at the highest, a 6th round pick

We need a difference maker at RB.
But i honestly don't know who, if anyone, is out there that we can get.

Zero2Cool (13h) : Bleh, that only impacts two games.
Zero2Cool (13h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.
Mucky Tundra (14h) : Kanata, seek help! lol
beast (16h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status
Zero2Cool (16h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha
TheKanataThrilla (16h) : That was terrible.
TheKanataThrilla (16h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.
beast (17h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent
beast (17h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime
beast (17h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing
Zero2Cool (18h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is
Zero2Cool (18h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true
beast (18h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management
wpr (21h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Mucky Tundra (27-Dec) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago
beast (27-Dec) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years
Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.
packerfanoutwest (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it
beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done
Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!
Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!
beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won
Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
