Bulaga's fine. He's very good. Then you got Sitton and Lang, both playing VERY well this year. EDS to me is a good backup. He's playing "adequately."

How many teams could be down to their 5th tackle and still be in the race? Please.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I think I figured it out Favre after he was forced out of Green Bay by Ted Thompson went to a witch Doctor down their in the bayou and had a spell put on the Packers :)

That's on the O-Line, and that's on TT. And even worse, pass blocking - it's almost a crime to have a QB like Rodgers and protect him so poorly. Yeah, he throws on the run like nobody else, but he shouldn't have to all the time.

hahaha you can only throw to one receiver at a time. I can only dream how good Aaron Rodgers would be if we had one of those big three (make it four - the other Johnson is pretty damn good too - make it five, as Dez Bryant is outstanding also - make that six - I almost forgot A.J. Green). I'd put Jordy Nelson as a solid seventh behind that top six.

So yeah you can only throw to 1 at a time but even Calvin Johnson only accounts for 30ish % of his teams passing. The rest is on those other guys that you seem to be completely discounting.

Bulaga had 1 real bad game last year (Throw in SF and IND and call it 3 total). In the 8 games he played in besides SEA he gave up 2 sacks. He wasn't as bad on the season as some people say. He's significantly better than Barclay at RT and probably better than Bakhtiari at LT. If anything he would probably have made our running ability even better. Losing him was a big loss don't downplay it so much.

Also, with Bulaga starting if the other T gets hurt then right now either Bakhtiari or Barclay is playing instead of Newhouse and I don't have to tell you how big of a difference that is.

Bulaga was messed up last year, and he still got it done. This team has more depth than any group I've ever seen in my life.

Well how can you go with we have a great receiving group because we have 4 guys with 29 catches, That is because of injuries. How many games has cobb and jones missed and if I remember right wasn't Jordy out a few games also. Btw I forgot Denver they would be #1 by far.

I made my list on what I would think would be tops with Rodgers at QB for any of them.

Granted Denver would be about the same but imagine teams like the Bengals and Arizona with Rodgers under center.

Also is it the players or the system maybe we should look no farther than Jennings going to Minnesota.

I also just thought of an honorable mention and thats the Seahawks. They could be scary Harvin,Rice, Tate and Baldwin

Jennings's number are not a lot different than last year. Granted, he was injured a lot last year. But is his performance this year due to not having Rodgers or not having Nelson, Cobb and Jones to distract defenses?

The Packers have the #5 passing offense in the NFL. That is without much of a receiving threat in the backfield. And with someone besides Rodgers throwing 37% of the season's passes. Hard to do that without Top 5 WR. In my opinion.

The Packers have the #2 offense in the NFL. That is with a Backup QB for more than 1/3 of the season. Can anyone explain to me how they can do that if the line is so bad? Cobb out. Finley out. Rodgers out. Bulaga out. Lacy, Franklin, Jones, and Starks each missing games.

And yet #2?

The line is above average. They are not why we have lost 5 games.

Only seven teams have scored more points than the Packers, which means they have the eighth ranked offense in the NFL.

But if you think yards are important ...

Total Offense = 2nd
Passing Offense = 5th
Rushing Offense = 5th

And yet we lost three and tied one against teams we shoulda beat since Aaron Rodgers went down. Nobody would care about giving up 26 or 27 points a game if Rodgers was there and we were outscoring teams.

Nobody wants to defend where any of our position groups stack up except WR? Fine, but as somebody said, it is what it is. People want to blame Capers? I say again, when you don't have the personnel to stop everything, you have to do some guessing - scheme to stop what you think the other team will throw at you. That isn't ideal, but it's reality.

Some people are getting all orgasmic about Kevin Greene? Getting fired up like some WWE thing may be what some people like to see, but it ain't what wins games. Clay Matthews said the biggest Packer problem is gap protection - THAT means discipline/brains, NOT over-pursuing and giving up big gains, which is what being fired up leads to. I prefer a thinker to a wrestler designing our defense.

Zero2Cool (13h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 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?
