The Crabby run on the fake FG was superb. What an awesome call there!

I have to admit that I was in the nervous camp going into this game, as the stakes were so incredibly high. At least they were in my eyes. I would have hated dropping into SEA 0-2. My hat is off to AJ Hawk who really played an inspired game. Good to see from him. He is really important for setting the tone of our D, and he proved to play well stuffing the run, dropping back in coverage, and rushing Cutler.

How about that? 28 rushes for 106 and a 3.8 yd average. Man, is THAT great to see, against what I consider to be a really good run defense in CHI. While we had some pretty big miscues, with Finley's fumble, Jone's breaking off the route for the pick, Rodgers' throw over the middle for the pick, and Shields' making contact on the punt - we were fortunate those didn't come back to bite us too bad. Our team played well enough to offset those miscues and come out with the WIN. Nice to see Worthy make his presence known. Mathews & Raji were awesome, and ripped their interior to shreds. The entire secondary was stellar. Stellar!

Kudos too to our STs. Crosby scoring on 48, 35 & 54 yd FGs was just what we needed. Our return coverage was pretty good too. How about that pop by Kuuuuuuuuhn?!!!

Great game, and super significant. Now, we roll to SEA with a boatload of confidence.

I called the deep shot in chat. I thought it was a good idea. Wasn't one of Aaron's better passes, but James Jones should have still caught it.

I do like taking the shots downfield. You all are thinking it wrong. The shots down field, if you complete one a game, it opens up the stuff underneath. It's not always the other way around. See, 🇲🇲 gets this. That's why he does it.

Coaches hate being burned deep. It's something that keeps them awake at night.

So keep taking the deep shots. I thought the play-calling by 🇲🇲 was superb.

We tried a couple of runs on 3rd and short last night, and I think both Benson and Kuhn got tripped up when they strung it out wide. That is where our run blocking needs some major improvement. Need some nasty there for sure.

I didn't know NFL did this - link . It's a PDF of all of the game stats.

We got kicked in the ass four days ago. And we were motivated.

Maybe we're not as good as we thought we were. We've got a long ways to go, that's obvious. We didn't play like we did last week. Maybe Green Bay's just that good, I don't know. We just didn't play well and they played good enough to do what they did to us.

wpr (13h) : 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

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
