Third and fourth string guys, starting out the season.

He was poor enough at tackle they tried him at guard which should be an easier lace for him and he stinks there too.

I'm not ready to anoint anyone right now. But it's time to see what we've got.

If Ted has to make a move, then we need to know about it, sooner rather than later.

Neither Newhouse nor Bulaga were so poor that they had been cut and were able to sit all year on the PS like Datko did. Datko at best is a 3rd string player. Or using your terms, if Bakhtiari and Newhouse are 3rd and 4th stringers then Datko, who is not as good as them, is a 5th stringer.

By your using Newhouse and Bulaga as rookies as your example to defend Datko you forget how few rookies become starter in their first year.

Seriously, this is some damning news. What does this team have to do to stop some big time injury before the season even begins?

Packers DO NOT have a decent option to back this injury up. I haven't seen anyone mention his name yet...Barclay. He was playing really well at RT last year. I think this most likely solidifies his starting position there(unless I am missing something). This puts Newhouse back at LT which is down right awful news. Bahktiari has been playing well but where do you slide him in at? I'd much prefer him over Newhouse but putting a rookie at LT is scary.

Wish Ted can go out and find something better than Newhouse. The positive is playing next to Sitton. That is bound to help who is playing LT.

And what is the overall NFL count at for torn ACLs now? 5? My gosh...

Who knows? Maybe Newhouse will play better at LT with Sitton next to him rather than Lang?

Given that they've already made the switch, I'd rather they keep Sitton at LG.

I pooh-poohed the switcheroonie when it was first announced. But perhaps having Newhouse next to an All-Pro (even if said All-Pro is himself learning a new position) rather than an average/serviceable LG will make Newhouse's job just enough easier to up his game.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I think some players may be coming back too quickly from injuries before their body is ready.

I am not one to condone PANIC trades/acquisitions, but if there were ever a time to make one...

We just shelled out the farm and a half for A-Rod, if he cant stay on his feet twas all in vane. I trust Marshall "revolving door" Newhouse about as far as I could throw his 300+ pound ass and as special as Bak has been reported to look, tis awfully scary to put a rookie out there week one against the SMITHS.

Albert out in KC might be available for a 2nd or 3rd rounder, and maybe looking to a rebuilding franchise and offering a few picks for a mainstay LT tackle. Although something of the proportion (requiring at least a 1st rounder) is unlikely in the Ted Thompson game plan.

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 (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.
