The Lions have begun informing agents around the NFL that they're out of the mix for free agent Nick Fairley who turned 27 earlier this year. What value do you think he would add to the Packers?

I think he would be a good addition. It was being said that since he got his weight under control that he was one helluva force that you had to account for. The Packers need someone like that.

Maybe... Just maybe, I'd take a shot at him on a one year prove it contract.

He's had all the chances in the world to get it going, but he never managed to. That the Lions didn't even want to pick up his 5th year and now don't even want him back speaks volumes.

I recall him playing damn good against us. If he is healthy and if he is not terribly expensive, I'd take him. I think he will be pretty high priced, based on the fact that he ain't that much less a player than Suh.

Would fill a position of need on a team that is built nicely to win now.

Ideal world...one year prove it team but hasn't Fairley been cited before to having weight/motivation issues?

Move would be fairley impressive.

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've wanted to take a chance on Fairley if it's not too expensive as he's shown some pass rush (at least in a 4-3).

Of course Suh often got doubled team giving Fairley more one on one chances. So an in depth look at his tape might suggest he's not as good as his numbers because he was one on one more. And I think the Packers are more looking for a NT than a 3-4 DE right now and I'm thinking Fairly might fit more towards the 3-4 DE.

beast (18h) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (20h) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (20h) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (20h) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (20h) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (20h) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (20h) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (20h) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (20h) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (20h) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (21h) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (21h) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (21h) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (21h) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over

packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor

Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : Colts-Giants now a tight one
