Packers (5-3): They remain very suspect in the trenches, a weakness that may ultimately unravel them when it counts. But QB Aaron Rodgers and limited mistakes should keep them dangerous week in and week out.

How is it possible to get a team a B+ when they are 5-3. One more loss would have been .500?

How is it possible for a team to be graded a B+ when the defense is 22nd in total defense, 32nd in rushing defense and 22nd in points allowed? The defense is a C at very best. More than likely a D.

The ST is average at best.

So the team as a whole is C+ or B-

I agree with C+ at best, and then only because of their 5-3 record.

I disagree. I had them 4-4 at this point. 4 of their toughest games on the schedule, all on the road, were in the first half of the season, and they won 1 of them. I expect them to go 7-1 the rest of the way, losing to New England or Philly but running the table on the rest, if they are as gfood as they were in the first half of the year. I think B+ is about right.

But I agree, they'll do pretty decently down the stretch, then shit themselves in the playoffs again. Probably do to run defense, or should I say lack thereof.

They will beat my 6-10 prediction.

I still think they will be under .500 the rest of the way (losses to bears, eagles or vikings, patriots, bills, falcons or lions). They will, of course, dominate Lovie Smith's team.

Odds are against us in the playoffs though.

dfosterf (5h) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (5h) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (5h) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (5h) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

dfosterf (6h) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (6h) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (6h) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (6h) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (9h) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (9h) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (10h) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Malik Willis might be someone Jets come after

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
