Are people going to cry if it ends up being Newhouse as our LT of the future? That is a big boy at 330lbs. Maybe we can actually gets some holes blown open on that side for a change.

I hope Sherrod wins the LG job, but I don't think he will beat out TJ. McDonald should concentrate on beating out Wells for the Center position. I've always said that Wells is too light in the ass for some of the DT's in the league. He gets by on playing with outstanding leverage, but his position could be upgraded.

Awesome notes. So far, I'm excited about Cobb, Newhouse, Lang, and our new TE's.

Ted Thompson is one hell of a general manager. Is he mentoring someone on our staff currently? I sure hope so, because he will be TOUGH to replace.

I am happy that Sherrod is getting some reps at LG, but with the way Lang and McDonald are sounding (and Lang with the game experience), I hope they get the nod over him...that is of course, if they earn it. Sherrod is still working on learning a new technique in blocking and said himself he doesn't remember the last time he has played the guard position. Makes me wonder if trying him out at left guard is a waste of time when you have guys like Lang and McDonald sitting there.

Glad to hear...
-Lang looks a lot better than last camp.
-Walden is bigger and badder.
-Raji already looks to be in mid-season form.
-Cobb is learning quick and showing it.
-Bulaga stonewalled Matthews once (just once).
-Rookie tight ends are playing well.

Anyone have anything to say about what Nagler had mentioned about our running backs? Starks being the best back on the team...

I absolutely hate not being in GB anymore for these couple weeks of the year.. nothing better than sitting back and seeing things with your own eyes. Miss that.

If Newhouse and Sherrod can both play LT, then Cliffy doesn't make the team. Lang starts at RG, McDonald backs up the interior.
And yeah, Starks and Walden are gonna light it UP.

Also one said Zombo looked in much better shape.

It's like fans used to give Bigby credit for his hard hits and so many tackles. He was giving up plays with poor coverage that wrapping them up after wards... the other team still got the play and moved the yards well.

But I'm glad to hear that both Zombo and Walden look and/or seem to be playing stronger. Haven't heard it about Jones.

Zero2Cool (2h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (2h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (2h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (2h) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (2h) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (2h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (2h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (2h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (3h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (3h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (3h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (4h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (4h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (4h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (4h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (4h) : 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 (5h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (5h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (5h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (5h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (6h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (7h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (7h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (8h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (8h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (8h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (8h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (8h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (8h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (8h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (8h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (8h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (8h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (8h) : 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 (8h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (8h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (8h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (8h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (8h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (9h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (9h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (9h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (9h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (9h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (9h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (9h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (9h) : Packers will get in

beast (9h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen
