Now I hope we sign James Jones.

I hope I'm not overreacting. I was kinda "eh" on JJ before. Vikes just signed Michael Jenkins, so that MIGHT take JJ out of the running. Could also mean JJ wants too much $$$. I figured if we could get him cheap he would be good to sign, but figured he'd be too expensive. As long as he didn't go to another North team, I'd be fine.

But man, that Philly D looks stacked. We need all the good receiving we can get against their secondary and pass rush. Ted Thompson cleared up quite a bit of cap room (around 17 mil last I read.)

What do you think? Should we pursue Jones more aggressively in response to Philly's offseason?

James Jones.

Anyhow, yes, I'm hoping the Packers sign James Jones too. I leaned towards signing James Jones over retaining Donald Driver out of the gate.

I think we should re-sign Jones but not cause of other team actions. I really do think giving your QB as much as targets possible could destroy any defense. IMO Jones & Ted are discussing a good contract to please both parties, why else would it take so much time to resign?

As far as I can remember, only one team bought a Super Bowl. That was the 94 49ers. The 07 Patriots attempted to do the same thing and came close.

Yes, the Eagles are putting that theory to test this season, but I feel as good about the Packers as any team in football.

We should pursue James Jones on his own merit.

My personal

OPINION

is that we should pursue him very strongly. I'm hating the Eagles right now, they seem to be attempting to buy a Super Bowl, seem to be incredibly successful at creating a certain momentum and synergy in the attempt, seem to be scamming the rest of the league, etc.

If we have a good year (and they do also) - we will just have to see about all that. It's a brand new year, and I like my talent, even though it wasn't bought elsewhere. 👍

Who is better right now, James Jones or Donald Driver?

It's really close.

Who's better in two years?

It's got to be Jones.

I'm starting to think that the Pack should not keep Driver if it means losing Jones. Ask Donald to re-neg to a more team friendly deal, and keep Jones in the fold.

Then use the rest of the money to lock up Sitton, and if Finley stays healthy until week 10, we lock him up too.

I'd have to say James Jones, considering his younger / faster / less injury

Mucky Tundra (2m) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (22m) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (31m) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (42m) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (1h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (1h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (1h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (1h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (3h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (3h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (4h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (4h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (4h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (4h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (4h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (4h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (4h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (4h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (4h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (4h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (4h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (4h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (4h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (4h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (4h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (4h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (4h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (4h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (4h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (4h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (4h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (5h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (5h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (5h) : Packers will get in

beast (5h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (5h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (5h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (7h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (8h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (8h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (9h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (18h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (18h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch
