Thank you Pack93z.

Zero - There you go. That's why he'll be nominated for the Hall.

Like I said, he won't get in. But he'll be nominated.

Seemed pretty clear. Maybe I misinterpreted your post.

Stopping another team's running game should be considerably less of a priority than stopping another team's passing game. Any team that doesn't see that is foolish and will not go very far in the NFL.

This is 2011. Not 1962. The NFL wants high scoring games. They've adjusted the rules to make passing easy.

What the coaches and players are saying is that stopping the running game--making the other team one-dimensional on offense--frees them up to get after the QB and the passing game. So, ultimately, they're stopping the running game so they can be better at stopping the passing game.

Same concept as on offense--if you're one-dimensional (pass all of the time and don't have a credible running attack) the other team can tee off on your QB and drop everybody else back in coverage. A credible running game opens up your passing game and makes it better.

My point was simple. When Grant went down and B-Jack was showing that he's not a very good 1st & 2nd down back, there was a lot of panic. I said we'd still win the SB without a running game and showed countless examples of how many teams won the SB with a mediocre or worse running game.

I was right. We handed off the ball 11 times and got something like 55 yards rushing.

We won.

While we're at it, it would be really cool if we had a killer KR/PR. Not necessary, but would be really nice to have.

By the way, check my sig. I made 3 predictions last year. 2 of them were right.

(Also, the Steelers knew we'd be throwing a lot. They did everything they could to stop Aaron. They couldn't).

And lastly, I would much rather be talking about McNabb. I still get why people hate him so much. Pack93z showed the stats I was talking about.

#1 is a good defense, and Philly had one of the best under Jim Johnson during this period.

On offense, they had a running game that generated over 2000 yds rushing annually with playmakers like Brian Westbrook/Duce Staley to take some of the pressure off McNabb (though McNabb accounted for 400 of those yds).

McNabb was tremendous in his early career--leading the team in passing AND rushing in 2000, for example. And his receiving corps sucked until TO arrived in 2004--Todd Pinkston, James Thrash his leading receivers? I just felt he tapered off after a terrific start.

I love playing "balanced offenses." The most important player in a balanced O is the Punter.

They're a perfect example of D winning championships as their O was mediocre. The Eagles were #2 D but waaaay behind the Bucs. Bucs knocked them out then went on to win it all.

2004 was their next year. #2 D once more (tied with the Pats) but the Pats were just a better team and beat them by a FG. McNabb played his heart out that game and came up short.

After that, the Eagles as a team tapered off and McNabb only played one full season without injury.

When were they #1? I don't see it. My source is pro-football-reference.com

dfosterf (1h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (1h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (6h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (8h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (10h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (10h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (11h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (11h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (12h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23h) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

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
