I wish James all the best. I had class with him at San Jose State. Always tried his best.

Letting Jones go was the right thing to do. We absolutely do not need to draft a WR in the first day rounds. Boykin will be a decent #3. At the most, we could use another low rounder or UDFA to compete with Dorsey, Harper, and the other 5 or 6 WRs already there.

Out of all those guys, I'm fairly confident that at least one will turn out to be at least decent - and with Aaron Rodgers throwing, that's about all we need.

If either #1 or #2 go down, we better hope lacy can carry the offense.

How many teams do you think can afford their #1 or #2 going down better than the Packers?

Jordy Nelson
Randall Cobb
Jarrett Boykin
Alex Gillett
Kevin Dorsey
Myles White
Sederrik Cunningham


Andrew Quarless is a solid over the middle threat. Granted, I'd rather Jermichael Finley starting at TE because he's a middle threat and deep threat too.


You add in the Eddie Lacy running game fake, plus Aaron Rodgers mobility. I am just not that worried as I am of the defense.

There's one position that I really don't worry too much about, and that would be wide receiver.

Cobb and Nelson are still great and really good, respectively, and Quarless to me would be solid.

And of course, Rodgers can make any receiver better.

But in a relatively short period of time, the Packers have gone from a position of great strength to something quite close to NFC-average as a unit.

Not the biggest worry on offense, much less on the rest of the team, but a growing concern.

With Jones, there is no need to pick up a WR before the third day. Without one, it becomes a real day 2 possibility; and I didn't want day 2 spent on any offensive skill positions other than, perhaps, tight end.

I don't see us in any better position than most other teams at WR depth. Boykin did OK as our #3 as a fill in, but it is unknown if he can do it for a year, and even more unknown if he could step up to fill as one of the top 2. Jones contract was IMO cheap enough for the increased depth and security having him

At least Jones won't have to worry now about his family starving on what the Packers paid him. (LOL!)[grin1]

Anyway, I'm sad to see him go. He wasn't "great", but classy and pretty dependable.
When he was having the "dropsies" problem, he held himself accountable and did alot to stop it from happening.

He has his SB ring, so now he can go off to the Raiders to die, like Jerry Rice and Lofton and too many others to list did.
With no one to throw to him, I think he will be bored to tears there. (So he will have plenty of time to count his money).

Even if we were down Jordy AND Cobb the other teams would still be setting up their defenses to stop Rodgers. The more WRs that went down the more we would lean on the running game certainly but as long as Rodgers is back there we wouldn't have to be carried by it.

bboystyle (now) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
Mucky Tundra (9m) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
Zero2Cool (30m) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
beast (38m) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

Zero2Cool (3h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

Zero2Cool (4h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
packerfanoutwest (4h) : ok I stand corrected
Zero2Cool (4h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
Zero2Cool (4h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
beast (4h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
beast (4h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
Zero2Cool (4h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
beast (4h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
beast (4h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
beast (4h) : 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 (4h) : I literally just said it.
packerfanoutwest (4h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't
Zero2Cool (4h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
Zero2Cool (4h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.
packerfanoutwest (4h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what
Zero2Cool (4h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

beast (5h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen
packerfanoutwest (5h) : they still are in the playoffs
packerfanoutwest (5h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7
Zero2Cool (7h) : We can say it. We don't play.
Mucky Tundra (8h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints
Mucky Tundra (8h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games
Mucky Tundra (8h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.
buckeyepackfan (9h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.
