What do you mean you are not thrilled with this group. Did you forget that it doesn't matter who we have at WR because its all Aaron Rodgers anyway. Who needs experience when Aaron Rodgers is throwing the ball.

I'm speaking from my perspective...I don't think much of him as you well know... now, he's going to be basically our #1 WR???? Yikes. Just yikes. I love RC18...Janis is a work in progress and 88 cent is a rookie that I love but he's a rookie. I do think 88 cent is a little scared out there. Doesn't look like a guy who loves contact. Barfarn mentioned that a long time ago and I've been honing in on that to see if he's full of it but I think he's right.

Pinkard is a guy I really really wish we'd keep but I think he's toast due to our overwhelming lack of experience already. I think Pinkard can be as good as anyone on our roster right now at WR. He's just too raw to keep, imo. Keeping him wouldn't even make me feel better because he's got too far to go for this season.

Abby would make me happy if he could get back. MR thinks he's our 3rd best WR. I think he could be as high as 2nd...he's probably better than Adams and only behind Cobb. Guy is smart and savvy. Just plays same position we really have a glut of guys at.

Yes, it doesn't matter as much because of 12 but rookies are going to frustrate the living pi$$ out of him and we know how he gets when he's frustrated on the field. Not liking the thought of that. Jordy is not that great talent wise...he's just a professional of the highest order who has had 7 years with Aaron. Any of our guys could be him given that amount of time with 12 but they have next to none. Jordy wasn't diddly for a few years.

Doesn't anybody remember winning the division year after year with Freeman, Bradford, and Schroeder? You guys really need to untwist the panties We have a lot more talent at WR now than trotting out Bradford and Schroeder. And yeah, having a pin point passer helps this problem.

But I still think we need a T more.

If you're referring to me on the Rison thing I'm lost as to why it blows your mind? We lost Brooks and Wolf IMMEDIATELY acted to remedy that situation. No situation will ever show the difference in methodology than this one.

The problem I have is any one actually thinking it would be wise to send a late round pick for a former WR who even during his best days was barely a #3 possession WR. Some of us fans get hooked on nostalgia.

Furthermore, if we lost Jordy Nelson after seven games and the Packers looked like a real Super Bowl contender around week 10 a starting WR like Andre Rison were available, you know the Packers would pull the trigger as evidenced by Howard Green being claimed off waivers from the Jets during 2010 season.

The Packers do not need another possession WR. They need a big speed guy to threaten the secondary and fortunately for the Packers, they may have him in none other than WR Jeff Janis.

It isn't about talent. It's about TIME. Jordy is being lamented because of his "greatness"...it was more about his TIME with Aaron. That can't be replaced. No one in our WR room has close to the 7 years of working with Aaron 87 did. Any of the current guys given 7 years with Aaron would be as good or better than he was save for Myles White and I'm not sure he couldn't come somewhat close.

Talent behind Jordy is a secondary theme to me...it's about the lack of TIME the other guys on our roster have had with him. Randall is the ONLY guy we can really trust. It's made worse by not having a single reliable experienced threat at TE. Quarless has the TIME part he just never had the talent.

These kids have to grow up faster than they should've had to. If they can, we'll be just fine...if they can't, we're in trouble. Fun to see a new star develop. I hope I'm wrong on Adams and he's it.

Zero2Cool (1m) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (1m) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (1m) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (5m) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (6m) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (11m) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (9h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (9h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (11h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (11h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (11h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (11h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (11h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (11h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (11h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (11h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (12h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (12h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (12h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (12h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (12h) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (12h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (12h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (12h) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (12h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (12h) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (12h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (12h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (12h) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (13h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (13h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (13h) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (13h) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (13h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (13h) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (13h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night

Mucky Tundra (13h) : ok scratch that

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it
