I don't want to argue specifics. The final 4 or 5 are tough.

But like every year there will be 2 guys I didn't think should be cut that are cut and there will be 2 guys I'm really supprised that make the roster.

I tried to get a couple of surprises in there.

Didn't Ted Thompson trade Tony Moll at the last minute last year? And that one year he picked up Grant. There could still be something coming out of left field too.

Sounds like a very reasonable list, wpr. Of course, it gets easier to predict as the final cut date approaches, and we're close now. The decision on whether to IR Zombo will be interesting and will be based on medical information that we do not have access to. Like you, I am thinking that Brad Jones will be gone, though.

You're the second person to mention Dietrich-Smith as a possible long snapper. You guys must know something I don't, because I haven't heard anything about this.

But then I have wished for them to use a regular player as the LS for 10 years. It is kind of like having a 3rd QB. A waste of a roster spot but necessary. I would love to have to more spots open. They could have a 6th WR or 5th TE or 9th LB.

I didn't see the game and didn't see how Harrell performed. Is he really good enough to make us have 3 QBs?

I think the only way Harrell makes the team is if Matt Flynn is traded, or they know they are going to be able to trade Flynn. And Matt Flynn did not do good this preseason so I think that's unlikely. Especially with Carson Palmer coming back, the Bengals are gonna look to trade him so that's one less Matt Flynn team to trade with.

IMO, Harrell closed the gap between the two and Flynn will command too much money next season (IMO) to be a backup here. Unless he is content with being a backup and accepts less.

Harrell and Flynn both played behind a line that was being rotated constantly last night to get film against starters for individual evals.. both struggled but Harrell seemed much more poised than Flynn last night.

Flynn still has value around the league for his performance last season vs New England.. 1st start did well enough.

Yes, I see us having 2 QBs on the 53. Interesting what Pack said about that in his 53 thread.

But Flynn finished 2 for 10 for 12 yards and Harrell 3 for 5 for 21 yards.

Oops @ my math. I meant 15 passes, but I forgot to factor in the starters. 19 is even lower than I would have expected. I hope we got a good look at the backs.

Needs to work on getting that 2nd foot in but still a very good beating the CB and great catch away from his body with his long arms.

But yeah didn't notice many WR with the back-ups in. Crabtree showed up with Rodgers and I think once with the back-up guys.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites

Zero2Cool (9h) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (23h) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break
