Looks like our guys are used to overcoming adversity. Mainly because they always have to, but alot of teams would get down when they have these ugly 14 point swings. With our guys, it's like business as usual.
Even on the road in a tough environment, they don't get down and they never feel like they're out of it.

This is something I like very much about this year's team. They play from behind well - not always winning (but recently they do), but not panicking when things don't start off quite right.

This game started off not so well (if you all can remember the 1st quarter, the fumble ....... the return for a TD). Nevermind all that, they knew that they could do it, and they proved it over and over again.

Hmmm...I wonder who is the head of all this?

Anyway, you say that we play from behind so much. We haven't been down by more than 7 ALL YEAR! That shows a team that has been focused every game this season.

I give McCarthy credit.

Yeah we are accustomed to overcoming adversity with the early injuries to key players and a-rod being hurt a little bit. I think it all has carried over into the postseason and will continue. I don't know about you guys but when we were down to Atlanta today for some reason i wasn't a bit worried. I had a feeling that we would come back strong even with the ball on our own 8 yard line.

Totally agreed. I said to my wife I would start worrying when the Packers were down 21. Never happened.

So when we lose it's MM's fault, but when we win it's only because of the talent we have on the team? WTF?

You want to talk about adversity, the announcers today said we lost 91 games to starters being out. Only three times has that happened before and none of those teams won more than 6 games all year. I'd love to double check those statistics but if that's the case--and it sounds plausible--this is one hell of a team in terms of overcoming adversity.

I can't wait for next week.

I said it before, back in week 4 I had totally given up on them. I was WRONG. I didn't think they would be able to overcome all the injuries no matter how hard they tried.

Tonight after the kick return for a TD and then they drove right down field again, I was excited about their chances. I told my son (in jest now) that I would not mind it if they let another kickoff be returned. That way the GB offense could go back out and pound down the Atl defense some more. I said by the 4th quarter they Atl defense would be running out of gas.

You gave up on them in week four? Shame on you! I didn't give up on them till week six--and again in week 14. (Well, I didn't give up on them completely, but I thought their goose was pretty much cooked.)

I know what you mean about the kickoff return. I was thinking the same thing. The Atlanta defense had to get right back out on the field and get worked over again. What a beatdown that was by our offense, all game long. Only one turnover, and no punts!

    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 (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.
