Hawk has a spot on this team until he doesn't... everyone... and I mean everyone sooner or later is replaced.

All this OSU talk is just making the wait til tomorrow evening that much more difficult... hopefully Urb has a face like this on after the game with Wisconsin running wild.

Buckeye D has been suspect all year, they were able to overcome that by outscoring their opponents.

The loss of JT Barret really hurts.

Meyer won't use it as an excuse, nor will I, but IMHO, The Badgers are the better team going into this game.

Either way, The Big Ten(12?)(13?) will be well represented in The Bowl games.

MIKE MCCARTHY

.(On Hawk) A.J. still has a role. We have a lot of packages. We'll see how Atlanta comes out. He's been an outstanding football player for us. He's still a part of it.

Hmmmm should I believe Mike or dakotat????

Decisions Decisions

I think I will agree with The Head Coach!!!!

I don't know what the big deal is here, The Packers finally have a good number of HEALTHY Lbr's.

Being able to throw in different package after different package is only going to BENEFIT The Packers in the long run.

You all just stay hung up on AJ Hawk and the number of plays he is in.

In the end if The Packers keep winning and The Defense keeps improving, all will be happy.

Well, not all, those who look for something to bitch about, will find it.

MM was spot on with one part of his quote..."has been" sums it up quite nicely. He wasn't referring to AJ in present tense but past. He's being Jeff Saturday'd.

As for MM's hyperbole, I offer you this on Jarrett Boykin from this season:

"I'm as high on Boykin as anybody in our building," McCarthy said Friday from the NFL Scouting Combine, per Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "He had a heck of a year, and I still think he has another jump in him."

"Clearly, Jarrett Boykin has taken the next step," McCarthy said Tuesday, via the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "I just love the way he plays. He's had an excellent camp.

"He's physical, his toughness, he's relentless. I think he's exceptional at the top of his route. You see his strength and balance to separate from a DB."

----LMAO... Where art thou oh, Jarrett,.. Where art thou? Mike McCarthy wasn't higher on ANYONE in the building than you.

EDIT: I'm sure Mike McCarthy would say Jarrett still has a role... 3 receptions for 23 yards this season. (almost as good as Alshon Jeffery)

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."

I only brought Boykin into this to show how what Mike McCarthy says is not exactly always accurate as nerd pointed out above. Yes, he has made more game changing plays than AJ Hawk this season. Pretty sad.

Hawk forces a fumble about once every 3 seasons... has no TD's... rarely has a pick or a sack and tackles guys well down the field almost never in the backfield or at line.

A zero impact player. Good riddance.

I wouldn't go that far. A.J. Hawk says he was asked to lose weight and I think that was a mistake. He looks very skinny out there. I would have suggested he bulk some muscle and work on flexibility before asking him to shed pounds.

He looked SLOW on the play against the Queens. On a number of those plays.

If AJ makes it into the Packers Hall of Fame, I wouldn't ever visit it again on principle.

The guy defines mediocrity and no impact.

Pete Dougherty at Packersnews.com nailed it....just nailed it. That article is YEARS overdue.

http://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/dougherty/2014/12/04/time-bench-aj-hawk/19932421/

Soon, there will be no more Hawk defenders as he will be released in the off-season. Finally.

Fan Shout

Zero2Cool (3h) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (22h) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : 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 (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : 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 (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : 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 (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : 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 (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
