Him and Lacy would do a number on defenses! Sure we already got Harris and Franklin but why not? Power running all the way! 🖐

Last season, Adrian Peterson and Toby Gerhart did a number on the Packers and the announcers made note they are two different style running backs. The Packers were trying to stop Gerhart with the scheme designed to slow Peterson.

The point? If you are going to compliment a running back, you do so with a different style and hope to catch the defense with the wrong personnel.

Blount is used up,(not really but to make my point, let's say he is).

Ted will probably trade out of the 1st round, get an extra 2nd and 3rd rnd pick from someone else and use that extra 2nd round pick on a rb.

Carlos Hyde out of Ohio State would probably still be available.

Lacy, Franklin, Hyde, Harris.

I could live with a stable of young guns like that taking the pressure off of Rodgers and the passing game.

Blount wouldn't be a bad pick up, as we have seen in the past, a team can never have enough rb's ready to step in.

Packers have two in Harris and Franklin, and whoever else they add during the draft or after the draft. I think we are solid at the RB position, for the first time in years.

Transitioning LGB to safety would take too much time. I don't think it would be a good pickup.

Starks likely comes back. There's no market for RBs right now.

packerfanoutwest (9m) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (11m) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (12m) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (12m) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (12m) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (16m) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (17m) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (17m) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (17m) : 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 (19m) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (22m) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (25m) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (27m) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (28m) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (37m) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (43m) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (45m) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (45m) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (47m) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (57m) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (1h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (1h) : Packers will get in

beast (1h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (1h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (1h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (2h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (4h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (4h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (4h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (4h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (14h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (14h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (17h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

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

Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

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
