1- Why doesn't Aaron Rodgers ever get a chance to end games like this, it usually always the opposing team that ends up scoring with leaving twenty seconds left.

2- Why can't we ever upset teams like these? We always end up losing to an upset team once in a while, but it never happens for us to win an upset game.

3- Would the Packers have played as good if AR was in?

4- Why did MM go 3 and out with 3 passes right after Patriots scored and we still had the lead?

*** 5 *** - Why in the hell is all our team injured??? Specially all the key players !!!

Grant - Finley - Burnett - Barnett - Poppinga - Jenkins - Chillar etc...

6- Can we use our 1st pick this year to draft a special teams KR / PR please for the love of god?

7- Am I the only one that wonders about these questions?

It seems strange, but I think mm put much more effort into the game plane because he couldn't rely on Rodgers' proven ability. mm's aggressiveness fueled his offense during the first half. Had he stayed aggressive the whole game (going for it on 4th & goal) the Packers would have won the game.

Oooooohhh pick me for number 6.... We can more than likely spend a 6th round pick this year on a guy like Brandon Hogan out of WV... he'll probably run a sub 4.4 and is a dynamite returner who will inevitably work as a coverage guy as well... GB never really takes hard looks at these guys or keeps them on the team because Ted usually has so much talent that these guys end up getting cut in favor of guys that hold up better in defense as well

7- No... it's natural because it always feels like we should be at the top of the mountain yet never are so these questions enter the thought process... Someday we will concentrate on spending some money on proven O-Lineman and be a complete juggernaut on offense

8- why do out STs continue to fail at the worst times?

8.5- why is Solcom still our ST coordinator

9. what is it with this team and inconsistancy? from MM to the O-line, pass-rush, streaks of the dropsies, ??? :cussing:

10.Why dont we play this agressive every week? when MM and Capers are agressive we dominate.

11. BJ Raji abused a good interior. (not a ? but it had to be said)

10. a. More to the point, why doesn't this team sticks with what WORKS? Why will they be aggressive for a quarter or two and then completely back off? I feel like they'd rather be clever than risk being predictable, so they cut off their nose to spite their face.

1. Dunno. Perhaps its because he's from California.
2. I think you'll find that this is true for almost every team. Come from behind in last minutes is good theater, but my guess is that it actually happens quite seldom in reality. Even for the P*ytons and Tomt*ms.
3. Better. Flynn had a very good game, IMO, but a healthy Rodgers is much better.
4. No clue. This pissed me off royally at the time, as did the next posession's play calling.
5. Anyone see a stat? I think injuries are up all over this year.
6. No, no, no, and a thousand times no. OL OL OL.
7. No. (Though I do think #6 is worried about much too much.)

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I agree with Wade on #6. If Ted Thompson were to waste a first-round pick on a returner instead of an offensive lineman, he would deserve summary firing.

Slightly off topic, when I think of all the players the Packers have on IR this year, coupled with the number of scrubs who made significant contributions this year, I have to think the Packers are going to lead the league again next year in waived players picked up by other teams. Though from what I've seen, almost all of the players the Packers waived this year were subsequently waived by the teams who picked them up.

You might be right Nonstopdrivel, another question I have been asking is.. what about Players like Zombo and Bishop.. Will they're emergence and in my opinion, very good overall performances from them this year, effect the starters they have replaced next year? Gotta wonder if this will factor into what Ted Thompson decides to do next year with our LB group and other players like the two I mentioned.

Zero2Cool (6h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (10h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (10h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (11h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (11h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (11h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (11h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (11h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (11h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (11h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (11h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (11h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (12h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (12h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (12h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (12h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (14h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (14h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (14h) : 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.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
