I'm another member of the "Used to have mancrush on Jones second only to Jermichael Finley but now want to see him walk" club.

you guys forget how good jones was earlier this season? ... he is our 3rd best WR on this team. And if you just look at the stats for this season the 2nd only behind GJ; better yards and yac then Donald Driver and nelson.

and you want to give him walking papers? ...

ya I would of really liked the score to be 21-3 at the 1/2 and felt it would of crushed the eagles ... but remember it was a cold windy day; as could be seen by how many times rodgers 'risked' throwing down field and akers missing 2 'normal' FGs ...

Hey, I didn't say I want to see him walk. That was musccy. But these drops are now having a huge effect on his value. Somebody in Kareem Copeland's chat in the Press Gazette asked if maybe he needs Lasik surgery (on his eyes). It would be great if it was that simple. It probably isn't, though.

Dulak, it would be one thing if that had been a slightly difficult catch to complete. But it hit him right in the hands. You can't excuse that on the basis that it was a cold day: They carry hand warmers in their pouches, they wear gigantic parkas on the sidelines, they have heated benches. If he's dropping passes because he's cold, he needs to start taking better care of himself.

It seems to me more a problem of focus. He's looking upfield before he completes the catch. Obviously, we don't know what the real problem is. Maybe they have YAC so heavily drilled into their heads by the coaching staff that he's too intent on turning upfield. It's impossible to know for certain.

If he drops a key pass in the Super Bowl, will you still be on his bandwagon? I'd rather have no-name, journeymen receivers who are sure handed (like the Patriots) than guys with great statistics and occasional flashy big plays who have a tendency to screw up when it really counts. (Yes, I'd rather have Jarius Wynn over Justin Harrell.)

Yeah, the game wasn't won or lost in the second quarter, we still won the game in the end, blah-blah-blah . . . but the effects of mistakes can be cumulative, the Eagles have staged at least one incredible comeback this season, and the trends are worrisome.

well my point was - IMO the dude is a top notch receiver and to send him packing to a different team is a bit drastic for that miscatch ... IMO the dude is good.

same could be said about mutiple players with yesterdays game; bush with a couple blown coverages (easy to pick on him since his name is often called when it comes to coverage); hawk seemed to not know where to go and how to tackle ... heck bjack didnt really do jack and rodgers fumbled what 2x ...

anyways looking forward to us kicking atlantas butt in the dome and being is it the first 6th seed to win a SB? or is it the second?

There may be something to the lasik surgery comment. A caller said that James Jones has dropped more than one streaking down the right sideline. I heard that and thought, does he run down the left sideline ever? lol

James Jones on the radio now. Asked about the thumb, he said the thumb played no role in his drop, said no excuses he simply dropped it.

He says no excuses, he says it was his fault, he says it can't happen, but he saying it so nonchalant like. After I say that, I'm not sure what I expect him to sound like. He sounds bummed as if we lost.

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
