This is my first post in this forum. So far from what I have read , it is more progressive than the one I just left. I find it refreshing that opinions are voiced, intelligently, and all seem to have a voice here. I will add my voice to this song as well.
I am very excited about most of what I see in the 2014 Packers, however I also see areas that IMO need improvement. I will be posting about both.
I like the format in this forum, but like the Packers, I will from time to time make comments improve it. I welcome making new friends, and will try not to start an enemies list. One thing that I've found that works well in other forums is the ability to "IGNORE" the post of members that one finds offensive.
The smileys in here are great, I salute this forum in this area ! [twocents]

Things that may be considered "offensive" usually political/religious/blah is regulated to the "back alley" forum.

But if you just want packer talk, your in the right hole.

As far as the Packers Defence is concerned, it is currently one of the leagues worst at giving up points. The bottom line is to score more than your scored on. The heart of the problem is the heart of the D-line, the Nose Tackle. The next man up philosophy just aint working (or at ROT either). Yet we hear the winning of " we don't have the cap money".
If a more flexible strategy were possible, we could have the cap money and get the players the team needs. Other teams do it, look at the teams that do it well, they have deep second and sometimes third team players that really can step up. [duh]

This is more of a "welcome" type post, so I moved it into the appropriate section and gave it a awesome flashy neat title! 🙂

This was done so you can have the proper welcome and it doesn't get swallowed up by that silly Packers discussion stuff! [grin1]

Welcome aboard! And Laser, thank you. Yes, we are quite open with opinions here and regardless of a few turds, we DO NOT attack the person, but rather we target the OPINION as that is the goal of discussion.

glad to have you on board Smokey. I look forward to reading more of your opinions. So far I like what I have read.

BTW- f you agree with me on all things we will be good friends. [sarcasm]
As for the smilies, Z2C has been adding to them for awhile.

Edit- of course you can feel free to applaud me every chance you get. 😆

That is funny Smokey. I will try and be worthy of your applause in the future.

Side note-

Whenever I see or hear the name Smokey I think of my old uncle's dog Smokey. It was a rather large German Shepard and he was a pretty neat dog. Pretty smart too.

Zero if Smokey does any more recruiting you are going to have to give him a year's free subscription to PackersHome.com.

Maybe a nice set of luggage too.

Fan Shout

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (1h) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (1h) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (1h) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (5h) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (5h) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (5h) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (7h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (7h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (7h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (7h) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (7h) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (7h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (7h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (7h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (8h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (9h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (9h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (9h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (9h) : 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 (10h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (10h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (10h) : 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?

packerfanoutwest (10h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (11h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (11h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (11h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (11h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (11h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (11h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (13h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (13h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (14h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (14h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (14h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (14h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (14h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (14h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (14h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (14h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (14h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (14h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (14h) : 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 (14h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (14h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (14h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (14h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (14h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (14h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what
