Why not just kneel? · PACKERSHOME

Matt Flynn just threw a fluke interception that was returned for a touchdown. Packers get the ball with 23 seconds left in the half.

1st and 10 at GB 32 (Shotgun) M.Flynn pass incomplete short left to E.Lacy.
2nd and 10 at GB 32 (Shotgun) M.Flynn pass incomplete short right to E.Lacy.
3rd and 10 at GB 32 (No Huddle, Shotgun) E.Lacy left end to GB 33 for 1 yard (P.Worrilow).
End of 1st Half

You're down 10 - 21 and need to go 68 yards for a TD or 40 yards for a chance of a FG.

I get the two passes, but on 3rd and 10 on the 32, why not just kneel? Eddie Lacy isn't going to bust a 68 yard TD run with 14 seconds left lol

After the INT, I was surprised they didn't just take a knee and go in for the half.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

The message to the team was keep fighting. I think that says a lot.

Obviously he got injured but again, hindsight. 23 seconds ain't much time but with two timeouts (which I think they had) running it is a decent balance between conservative and agressive IMO. But yeah, with 14 seconds left, just kneel.

beast (18h) : Seems like he was just pissed because he was no longer the starter

beast (18h) : Campbell is right, he's rich and he doesn't have to explain sh!t... but that attitude gives teams reasons to never sign him again.

dfosterf (22-Feb) : I have some doubt about all that

dfosterf (22-Feb) : I read De'Vondre Campbell's tweet this morning (via the New York Post) Florio says that if he invested his earnings wisely, he will be good

beast (20-Feb) : I haven't followed, but I believe he's good when healthy, just hasn't been able to stay healthy.

dfosterf (20-Feb) : Hasn"t Bosa missed more games than he has played in the last 3 years?

Mucky Tundra (19-Feb) : He hasn't been too bad when healthy but I don't feel like I ever heard much about when he is

Zero2Cool (19-Feb) : Felt like he was more interested in his body, than football. He flashed more than I expected

Zero2Cool (19-Feb) : When he was coming out, I thought he'd be flash in pan.

Mucky Tundra (19-Feb) : Joey seems so forgettable compared to his brother for some reason

Zero2Cool (19-Feb) : NFL informed teams today that the 2025 salary cap will be roughly $277.5M-$281.5M

Zero2Cool (19-Feb) : Los Angeles Chargers are likely to release DE Joey Bosa this off-season as a cap casualty, per league source.

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : If the exploit is not fixed, we'll see tons of "50 top free agents, 50 perfect NFL team fits: We picked where each should sign in March" lo

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Issue should be solved, database cleaned and held strong working / meeting. Boom!

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : It should be halted now.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : usually spambots are trying to get traffic to shady websites filled with spyware; the two links being spammed were to the Packers website

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : you know when you put it that way combined with the links it was spamming (to the official Packers website)

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Yep. You can do that with holding down ENTER on a command in Console of browser

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : even with the rapid fire posts?

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : I'm not certain it's a bot.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : I've got to go to work soon which is a pity because I'm enthralled by this battle between the bot and Zero

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Yeah, I see what that did. Kind of funny.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : now it's a link to Wes Hodkiezwicz mailbag

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : Now they're back with another topic

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : oh lol

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : I have a script that purges them now.

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : 118 Topics with Message.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : what's 118 (besides a number)?

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : They got 118 slapped in there.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : that's why it confused the hell out of me

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Yeah, but this is taking a headline and slapping it into the Packers Talk

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : Wasnt there a time guests could post in the help forum?

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : lol good question, kind of impressed!

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : So how is a guest posting?

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : Tell them its an emergency

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Working. Meetings.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : Lots of fun; the spam goes back 4 or 5 pages by this point

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : I thought you'd look for yourself and put 2 and 2 together lol. I overestimated ya ;)

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : I thought Guests couldnt post?

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : And gosh that's gonna be fun to clean up! hahaa

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : Oh. Why not just say that then? Geez.

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : check the main forum, seems a spam bot is running amok

Zero2Cool (18-Feb) : What?

Mucky Tundra (18-Feb) : Is the Packers online game "Packers Predict" now available for 2024? I can't tell

Zero2Cool (17-Feb) : Bengals planning to Franchise Tag Tamaurice Higgins
