Then I start dialog with Driver.. really sit down and talk about 2012 and his thoughts after that. If something can be worked out to make it less of a financial burden to retain him.. you let him part from the Packers. To me.. it really depends on what he has to say about realistically playing beyond 2012. If he really wants to do so.. then I think the right thing to do is allow him to find a team in which will carry his contract for more than 1 more season. He says he wants to play til 40 publicly... if that is the same privately.. shake his hand.

The guy that should lose majority of his snaps is Driver and James Jones for that matter.

People are prideful, especially football players. I’m not sure Driver is going to want to lose snaps to Cobb, but it needs to happen. This leads to Driver being the No. 5 receiver on the depth chart. I don’t know how you can keep him then. The No. 5 receiver must influence special teams. Driver is not going to do that. All good things must end.

Looks like there's an article saying that they're going for a long term deal with Finley.

EDIT: Looks like PFT is getting in on it too. So if they're going to straight up sign Finley, does that mean they're saving the tag for Flynn? Maybe they'll tag DD!

My personal opinion of importance...

Scott Wells
Jermichael Finley
Howard Green
Ryan Grant

I'm torn on Ryan Grant. He impressed me late in the season. If he's resigned at a reasonable price and earns a spot, I'm down. However, with Alex Green and Brandon Saine looking strong ... I'm not sure if he has a spot. Then again, James Starks seems to have injury problems.

Goners...
Matt Flynn - Miami's next QB
Erik Walden - Clean house, everyone but Clay Matthews III at OLB should be replaced, lol.
Pat Lee - I see no reason to try an keep him.

Green doesn't matter to me at all. DL tackles were as follows:
Pickett 33
Wilson 26
Raji 22
Wynn 19
Green 11
Neal 3
Granted none of the numbers are eye popping but that was due as much to the system as anything. And I am sure he was not in the game on most downs but he didn't amount to much in the over all scheme of things. Another younger chunk of beef can do just as well, maybe better. One of the things I noticed is that everyone else (except for Neal) had more tackles than assists. Green had more assists than real tackles.

Fan Shout

Zero2Cool (20m) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (20m) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (35m) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (37m) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (37m) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (38m) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (38m) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (42m) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (42m) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (43m) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (43m) : 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 (45m) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (47m) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (51m) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (53m) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (53m) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (1h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (1h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (1h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (1h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (1h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (1h) : Packers will get in

beast (1h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (1h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (1h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (3h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (4h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (4h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (4h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (5h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (14h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (14h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (14h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (18h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.
