As it turns out, the Packers weren't being discreet about Aaron Rodgers' injury because they hoped to making a claim for the contract of former Packers backup Matt Flynn. Flynn, cut Monday by the Bills before Rodgers broke his collarbone, went through waivers unclaimed on Monday, a league source tells PFT. The Packers were low...

Just got an update/notification on my phone that the Packers are going to sign Matt Flynn, as long as he is healthy.

The update literally read: "Packers will sign free agent QB Matt Flynn if convinced he's healthy."

This source has proved to be quite reliable, as it gives me information on a lot of subjects around the NFL and it's usually right. But who knows. I wouldn't mind seeing Flynn back in here. He seemed pretty decent as a backup for us, and it's proven that he hasn't been able to handle a starting QB job. Perhaps he could be a career backup behind Aaron Rodgers.

I hope they sign him if they can verify that those elbow injury rumors aren't true. Cut God damn Wallace and throw him out like yesterdays trash. Start whoever seems best between Tolzien and Flynn. As much as I wish that, however, Thompson will probably keep Wallace.

By the way - is that an app you have or just some special email? What is this source?

Apparently, the Packers have not "officially announced" they were bringing Tolzien up. So the word is, they're gonna check on Matt Flynn first.

DAMN I hope he's ok. Come see me Matt! Acupuncture will do wonders for that arm! (Got a similar thing in my shoulder. Scar tissue from baseball.)

The Jason Wilde article that is about Tolzien not being promoted to the 53 has my interest with Matt Flynn at a high level. I wonder how that's gonna go if they sign Flynn.

I don't know what to make of Flynn. He looked like he had promise when he was backup for Rodgers, but hasn't really shown much since he left. Maybe he just isn't a fit for these other teams that gave him a look? Different guys fit well into different offenses. Same story with Matt Cassel - he played a respectable season with the Pats, but fell short with the Chiefs.

With the current situation - if he is healthy/not injured - it wouldn't be a bad idea to at least consider him. He is familiar with the Packers offense which is more than they can say about most other options.

Once again Ted did the smart thing by acting uninterested, and waiting out the waiver process.

Let's hope Flynn's elbow issue is just "rumors".

A healthy Matt Flynn could take over for Seneca if he struggled this week.

Cutting Wallace is still a ridiculous idea, pretty sure The Packers Offensive gameplan will look a little different this week, but will benefit Seneca's strengths.( I know he didn't show much Monday, but he does have certain some skills that he does better than others)

If Flynn is healthy, give him a week to prepare and he should be able to guide The Packers until Aaron get's back.

Zero2Cool (8h) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (8h) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (11h) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (11h) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (12h) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (12h) : Thank you

wpr (13h) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (13h) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (13h) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (13h) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (13h) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (13h) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (13h) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (14h) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (14h) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (14h) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21-Jan) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.
