Using that logic, the game SHOULD HAVE BEEN 23-7.

Packers 1st team scored using your logic.

The refs made a bad call.

Nevermind, I don't have the strength anymore.

steveishere, it is no big deal. I admit fully that my response to you was reactionary. What more do you want? I'm not wanting anything adversarial with you, at all. In general terms, the team performed poorly against another team who looked better prepared. A closer look reveals we did not play our starters very long, and many simply did not play at all. There were indeed some encouraging individual performances, in spite of the lopsided preseason loss.

I guess it is best to take it for what it is. Peace bro! No big thing.

It's just my personality I guess that I get irritated when fans go crazy over preseason games. I won't disagree with someone complaining about the way a player played during preseason but things like judging units collectively or play calling or the defensive/offensive scheme really get to me because those things don't matter in these games.

Agree with Bacon, but if Franklin wants to get those dump off opportunities, he'll have to learn to pass block, which will probably take him a year.

I didn't think Franklin did to bad out there on Friday, I just thought they didn't give him much to be successful. Should give him more swing passes, he was very good at catching the ball and running up the sidelines in college.

If this was the last rather than the first pre season I'd be much more worried...even though none of them matter at all.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

Man, this OL has been decimated by injuries over the course of our last 3 seasons. Every year we seem to be doing the same things at this time; hoping to have some new players pan out to replace injured starters, hoping the players we have can solidify as a sound OL unit before the season starts. Crazy.

Well.....i'd rather have them stink it up now then when they really count.
Maybe this will make MM light a fire under them and make them realize that how they play now will decide if they have a job next month.

From Ask Vic,

"Whatever it was you saw on Friday night, it had nothing to do with scheme because there wasn’t much of one beyond you take him and you take him. The Packers’ scheme, as you would expect, was very basic and repetitive. The whole idea of a preseason game is to use it as a measuring stick of young talent. The best way to do that is to put young players in easy-to-understand assignments that feature physical skill over execution of scheme."

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Yeah I remember commenting I am pretty sure they were in base almost, if not, the entire time. I think we maybe attempted one or two blitzes but that is it.

Zero2Cool (24m) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (4h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (4h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (5h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (5h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (5h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (5h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (5h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (5h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (5h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (5h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (5h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (6h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (6h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (6h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (6h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (7h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (7h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (7h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (23h) : 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.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
