My family is of the same attitude. The problem is that I'm not sure we control our own destiny anymore. We are going to need some help. Go Vikings... I just puked.

We are in the same position we are last week with the Bears loss. We can't get 2 games behind them though.

We now lose the tie breakers with the Bears if we end up tied with them, where before we would have won the tie breakers (assuming we beat the Bears in the last game to tie things up--otherwise, we'd have lost the tie breaker anyway for head-to-head).

So, unless we win 2 more games than the Bears (with 3 games remaining), we're playing for a wild card berth. We can't catch Atl (they're 11-2, and we'd lose the head-to-head), NO is 10-3, we're unlikely to catch them, which leaves the 8-4 Giants or the 9-4 Eagles.

The absolute, absolute worst part about the game yesterday is that it's going to make me root for the Vi...the Vi...the Vi...excuse me, I've got to go wash my brain out with alcohol.

And it's not just this week. Next week we will be sticking up for the Vikings against the Bears. And the week after that, they play the Eagles, so we may be sticking up for them for the third week in a row. We might as well go out and buy our purple gear right now.

I have to +1 Pack93z.

This thread is reflective of some pretty good creative writing skills. :)

Some others in the fine tradition--

Well, arguably it could have been written that "Nuclear blast saves million lives."

And if so, would have increased the revenues for heating companies. :)

I'd give Shawn a +1, but I think I've already given him two today. 🙂

Looking on the bright side, I'm sure the Vikings gear is selling for cheap these days.

The initial post in this thread may be the post of the year. McCarthy did go to a more balanced attack after the Lions game, and after the Rodgers-less loss to the Patriots, they ran the table all the way to an NFC championship. My mistake in this thread was I thought that 10-6 wouldn't get it done. But things broke the right way with some other games and 10-6 was good enough to get into the playoffs.

Also, the team solidified. The bulk of the injuries occurred in the first half of the season, and they were able to work the new guys into the lineup and develop team chemistry on the fly. The running game was the last thing to fall into place, with James Starks' emergence in the playoff game at Philly.

dfosterf (4h) : Mackelvie

dfosterf (4h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (4h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (9h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (11h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (13h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (13h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (13h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (13h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (15h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : 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
