You guys assured me that not wanting to re-sign Jones was stupid, that he'd get his targets, regardless of having too many guys who are on a nr 1, 2, 3 receiver skill level and that there won't be a locker room problem, so I asume this'll all be over by week 2.

Any of those five can excel in this league.. even the old man at this point, I will contend completely that the Packers really don't have a #2,#3,#4 or #5 receivers.. they have a clear cut #1 and a quartet that all could easily be that #2 and will be at different points of the season... want evidence look back a season.

Truthfully.. all of them sans Jennings play second fiddle to Finley.. but that is a different thread.

After that, it's about scheme, rotating in fresh bodies, and matchups. Dakota says Cobb > Driver and Jones. Well, I'd argue that's the wrong way to frame it. Cobb seems to provide a lot of value in the slot. Driver also excels in this role and is asked to find soft spots in zone, and also runs the slant as well as anyone in the biz. Jones can be used anywhere, but does most of his dirty work in the red zone or lined up as an outside receiver. He's more of a deep threat guy, and he plays much bigger than his body. The "who is better" or "who is the #2, #3, etc." thing is a waste of time, IMO.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

Before saying one does not have a clue, perhaps you can learn to spell?

Anyways, I am smart and do have a clue so I do know who this "Jorde" is that you keep referring to. I really don't believe the Packers have much depth chart numbers other than Greg Jennings is number one. I think 2 - 5 are fluid and predicated on the match ups available.

[list=1]

Greg Jennings

Jordy Nelson

Donald Driver

James Jones

Randall Cobb (I'd use him on KR and PR and that's why he's lower)[/list]

How does a stomp ass, redneck boy such as yourself become a peacemaker? I really need to know, because I need lessons.

There is always enough time to stir it up.. it just isn't called for often.

But you need no lessons what so ever from a gent like I.. the truth of the matter is that I have gotten far more pissed off here than in real life.. in percentages and raw number of occurrences.. And I can't really explain to myself why. lol.

Anyway.. Rodgers spoke exactly as I would.. and honestly that speaks volumes of the respect that Jones has within that locker room. Just as much as any of the other 53.

Cobb made a great play on his touchdown but it was pointed out he ran the wrong route. I love the work that Jones can do along the sidelines. I still take Jones over Cobb in the depth right now. And I agree Zero2Cool,on any day I think it can flip between Jordy and James as the #3.

I wouldn't be surprised to see James Jones have a half dozen targets this week.

James Jones is a monster in my opinion. I have seen him make too many plays to not see him out there. At the same time we have so many weapons. Hell, maybe next week Jones will get 10 receptions, and Cobb will get one. I hope that happens so JJ is happy for at least a little while.

Hopefully he can catch 5 of them, but I have my doubts. He also has Ahman Greenitis in that the dumbass can't switch the ball to the proper arm depending on which sideline he's at. I distinctly remember losing 2 Bear games because of it.

Mucky Tundra (6m) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (27m) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (35m) : 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 (47m) : 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 (2h) : 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 (5h) : 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
