Datone Jones believes he was good in 2013

I thought I did really good. I was able to really help out a lot on third down. In the pass department, I was second on our defensive line in sacks; and we have a big veteran group. So I thought I played pretty well this year and I got better every week.

I’m just saying it right now, next year I’ll be a whole other player. I won’t look the same, my body won’t look the same, I’ll be bigger, stronger, faster. That mental next step, I’ll have it. I’m excited. I know I’m going to have a good year next year. Nothing’s going to slow me down.

I was the smartest kid in my family. Did I mention that we grew up under powerlines and licked a lot of lead paint as kids? Oh, I recall us all being dropped on our heads a lot too. I'm the smartest of them, though!

Hope so.

He looked great in TC until the ankle.

Give me a player who is All Pro who says he is not happy with his performance and is going to work the whole off season getting better.

First reaction: Good grief.
Second reaction: You've got to be kidding.
Third reaction: Why can't he play for the Lions or the 49ers or someone else?

Not necessarily what I want to hear, but at the end of the day I don't care what the guy says; I care what the guy does. If he puts in the work, gets better and tears the league apart next season he can tell us he pisses rainbows and shits roses for all I care. If he doesn't, that's another story.

Seriously? What's the big deal?

A players says he thought he did good... weather it's true or not that's kind of part of their unofficial job... teams want them to stay positive and say good things weather they're true or not...

It's just like Rodgers saying the team overcame adversity for them to win the division... it's lie to make a puff piece for the media and sounds a lot better than the truth that the Lions completely and totally choked, while the Bears got to comfortable, the Vikings then beat the Bears... Vikings then embarrassed the Eagles and decided to embarrass the next team they met, which just happen to be the Bears, giving the Packers the chance at winning, and with the help of a random free play where the players on the field thought the ball was dead... Packers sneak in 7 points which happens to be the difference in who won and who lost.

Players setting the media up with nice fluff pieces is just part of the job.... even if the fluff pieces aren't the best thing out there it's good PR for the team and players which is what they want out there.

Don't think what he said is very far off. Gets bigger and stronger coming back next season at 295-300lbs and we may have something. He was pretty limited because of his ankle injury and his size. Not going to get many run down snaps when you are going against Raji, Pickett, Jolly, Daniels, Wilson and Boyd who all have that size on him.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I don't get what the big deal is...

Is he not allowed to be pleased with how he played as a rookie in the NFL? Everyone always gets their panties in a bunch whenever a player doesn't use the cliche responses to answer reporters' questions.

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.
