--- We're lumped up with another NFCN team and I'll bet you know who that is without looking.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

"learn from Raji" - that's a laugh.

I am extremely pleased with the Clinton-Dix pick; I'm moderately pleased with the Adams pick - I didn't want a WR that high in the draft, but he seems like a good choice - similar to James Jones but better at holding onto the ball - hopefully. I didn't like the choice of a D-Lineman and a TE this early in the draft also, and neither seems like much of a bargain. I'm willing to keep an open mind on Thornton and Rodgers though. They both seem like projects.

Ted shoulda got an ILB and a second Safety by now. Hopefully he accomplishes that effectively on Saturday.

"When you're younger, you're a little more impressionable, it's easier to get (to them) than a guy who's been doing it for six or seven years. I want to get my hands on those young guys." -Mike Daniels

No worries about being around Raji, in Mike Daniels I trust!

Hey guys!

Haven't posted in a while. Thought I would try to contribute some more when I can.

I actually like our draft so far. Seem to be hitting on need positions.

Not sure about the talent a inside backer in this draft. Shazier and Mosely were both guys I would have picked over Dix, but I think getting the consensus best safety was a great fall-back plan.

S Clinton-Dix - Will be immediate upgrade over MD Jennings and anyone else. Will help the defense from day 1.

WR - Davis - intelligence is biggest attribute. Contributor from day one. Can play all three WR positions which GB loves. Most productive WR in college.

DT/DE: Thornton - can't say I've heard of this guy. Seems to have great size for both DE and NT in our 3-4. Highlights show a big boy with great speed and athleticism. Potential seems high.

TE: Rodgers - looks a little soft for a TE. Could likely use some conditioning + going up against Clay, Peppers, Neal, and Perry for a few months this offseason. Another potential pick. Should not unseat Quarless. Still holding out hope for a Finley return.

I like the Thornton pick. One of those prospects you didn't hear a lot about going inLooks like a kid who had to deal with a lot of adversity playing on a bad team particularly on offense. He has all you look for in a 3-4 defensive end prospect. I believe he was picked to later fill the void left by Jolly.

Zero2Cool (12m) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (1h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (1h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (2h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (2h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (2h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (2h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (2h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (2h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (2h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (2h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (2h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (2h) : 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 (2h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (2h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (2h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (3h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (3h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (3h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (3h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (3h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (3h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (3h) : Packers will get in

beast (3h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (3h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (3h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (5h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (6h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (6h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (7h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (16h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (16h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (20h) : 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.
