He was great during the pre-season. I'd like to see him a battle a roster spot this year, and then over-take Grant as the starter. I loved watching him play.

Funny how you seem to forget about last season, and Grant had 1200 yards this year. I hate it when people think that Grant isn't starting material, when he's one of the premeir backs in this league.

I agree to an extent and disagree, Yes I agree Grant is Definitely starting material, This coming season he is going to fully establish that as long as he stays healthy IMO. I don't think he's a premier back in this league though at least not yet, Guys like Adrian Peterson, DeAngelo Williams, Michael Turner, etc were the real Premier backs this year, Grant isn't too far off but he needs to get his YPC back up and get some of those game breaking runs going again. Hopefully this coming season the offensive line finally takes that step in the runblocking department and we see a 1600-1800 yard rushing season from our backs.

Yes, I think a lot of the problem is our offensive line...

Just a little side note to the guys you named and that is they are all in pretty much a 2 back system. AP has Taylor that comes in on passing downs, Turner has Norwood, and Williams has Stewart.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

1200 yards isn't really that great when thats pretty much all you got at RB position. That comes out to about 75 yards a game. Thats not much.

Back when it was a 14 game season, 1200 yards was more impressive.
Also you have to consider how many 'big" game changing runs he had. I can't think of one this past season. Plus a low yards per carry average.
I'm not saying he;s lousy, just that his production didn't seem very good to me at least.

I think you misinterpreted my post there. I didn't mean Grant is not starting material, and I do think he should start next year. But in my post I meant Lumpkin would develop into a better back, because I like his running style, much more so than Grant's (not that I don't think Grant would is better or would give us a better chance to win)

He had some "game changing" runs. Against the Vikings in Week 1, he had that 50+ yard run that got us inside the 5 yard line which set up the deciding TD. Against the Bears, he had a 35 yard run at the beginning of the game which set the tone for the rest of the game.

Lumpkin looked great in Training camp. I went for a couple days last year and there was something about his running style that looked like he just belonged. He ran tough and kept his pad level low (just like Mike McCarthy likes). I had know idea who he was then but he definitely stood out the same way Jordy Nelson did.

GBs 1,2,3 will be Grant, Jackson, and Lumpkin. The only change to that would be if Ted picks somebody up and and beats him out of that #3 spot. RBs always get hurt so I could see Lumpkin showing us a thing or 2.

I could see Jackson beating out Grant for the #1 spot.

beast (1h) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (9h) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (14h) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (16h) : 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

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (23-Dec) : 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 (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I literally just said it.
