Our WR this year? what the deuce?

What is it with our receivers this year anyway? Game after game they seem utterly lacking in passion or even interest in the game. There have been only a few games this year where they've shown any effort in laying out for difficult passes. Most of the time they seem to be content watching them fly overhead. Maybe our wide receiver's coach should be on the chopping block too. His boys don't seem very eager to be on the field.

I hated watching Greg lollygag around after his INT while the safety was jetting down the field thanks to Greg's fuck up.

There does seem to be this apathy amongst the WRs and I don't get it. Driver IMO is even worse at drops than Jones, yet he can make the one-handed, upside down, behind the back blindfolded catch.

I've joked about it in pvs. threads, but it seems that you need to make it difficult on the WRs or they won't catch it.

Watching Greg just casually walk away after looking behind him (how did he not see the DB with the ball?) and continue walking bothered me. I thought c'mon you tipped the ball up in the air, that's a secondary's wet dream!

That was the first thing I noticed on the INT...Greg just kept on jogging. Apparently he didn't realize it was intercepted.

Yes. That would explain it. The way I remember it, it was not tipped up into the air, it was tipped pretty much sideways, and it just happened to go right into the defender's hands. It's been awhile since Jennings has dropped one of those, so I don't want to rip on him too much. Still, it was very, very costly.

I saw that too.

Jennings look non-chalant in slow motion after that INT.

But in real-time, it takes time to realize that its been intercepted, stop your forward sprint, and chase the ball.

Either way, GJ is back to under performing like in the beginning of the year.

I'll give you that, but he tipped the ball UP ... you have to make sure the ball was NOT caught before being nonchalant. Right? Just irks me when players give up. Ya gotta play for the full 60 minutes. I could never be a coach, I'd have a damn ulcer. I'd have been chewing Greg's ass off.

After this loss I think everyone here wants our coaching staff to be gone well I got news for you guys firing them won't do shit.At least for the remainder of the year.Look ill say it time and time again why do the coaches always and I mean ALWAYS get blamed.It's the players playing the game all our coaches are capable of coaching a good team.Cut the god damn packers some slack,they are still in playoff contention when half our starters are out we are limited to work with here.And yes im using injures as an excuse for this one.We played a horrible game it fucking happens even if its the lions i seen half of you say its gonna be a tough game what did u expect it is an lions team thats 3-10 that plays like an 7-6 team.Fine fire the offensive line coach maybe are WR coach because i think it won't make a difference.

lol this was the most hilarious, out of place comment. You picked a bad thread to post this in because no one blamed the coaches. Not a single poster said anything about a coach.

Thanks to pack93z for the sig!!!

beast (17h) : 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.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
