The Packers will start the regular season with a pair of largely untested offensive tackles, which has generated some concern about how well quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be protected this season. General Manager Ted Thompson is not among those concerned about how things are going to play out. During an interview with Mike Vandermause of...


“It would probably depend on who the people were,” Thompson said. “Go on with their life, everything else will be fine.”

I'll be disappointed if Sherrod's not activated this season.

I like Thompson. He reminds me of David Byrne.

When you put the best QB in the league behind a consistent medicore line where he is running for his life and taking boatloads of sacks eventually the inability to deal with the O-line is gonna bite us in the ass. Either that will be a Rodgers season-ending injury, or eventually when his legs are not as lively a guy that just can't get to the safe spot in time to make the throw to the open guy. Worst would be a pissed off QB who wants out. Don't think it will ever get there, but who knows.

I'll be dissapointed if nerdman isn't diasapointed!!!

I think Ted is saying, "talk is cheap', you all STFU and just watch and our tackles will shut you up for good!!!

JMHO 😄

Ted has invested TWO 1st round picks in the Oline. I think he takes a C high next year.

I'll take the over, largely because he holds the ball too long.

Then again, maybe the situation will inspire Aaron to get the ball out.

Didn't hear anything about them using a 2.5 second clock in training camp this year. Not sure if I'm happy or disappointed by that.

    packerfanoutwest (2h) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
    packerfanoutwest (2h) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
    packerfanoutwest (3h) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
    Zero2Cool (5h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
    Zero2Cool (5h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
    bboystyle (5h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
    Zero2Cool (5h) : Ahh, ok.
    bboystyle (5h) : yes due to tie breaker
    Zero2Cool (5h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
    Zero2Cool (5h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
    bboystyle (5h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
    Mucky Tundra (6h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
    beast (7h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
    beast (7h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
    Zero2Cool (7h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
    bboystyle (7h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
    Mucky Tundra (7h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
    Zero2Cool (8h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
    beast (8h) : 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 (8h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
    Zero2Cool (9h) : I see what you did there Mucky
    Zero2Cool (9h) : dammit. 3:25pm
    Zero2Cool (9h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
    Mucky Tundra (9h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
    Mucky Tundra (9h) : Yeah baby!
    Zero2Cool (9h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
    Zero2Cool (10h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
    beast (10h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
    Zero2Cool (11h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
    Zero2Cool (11h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
    packerfanoutwest (12h) : ok I stand corrected
    Zero2Cool (12h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
    Zero2Cool (12h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
    beast (12h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
    beast (12h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
    Zero2Cool (12h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
    beast (12h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
    beast (12h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
    beast (12h) : 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 (12h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
    Zero2Cool (12h) : I literally just said it.
    packerfanoutwest (12h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't
    Zero2Cool (12h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
    Zero2Cool (12h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.
    packerfanoutwest (12h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what
    Zero2Cool (12h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.
    packerfanoutwest (12h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in
    packerfanoutwest (12h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker
    packerfanoutwest (12h) : if bucs win out they win their division
    beast (12h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us
