I'm thinking after this, Davante can expect to receive a random drug testing.

I still think he's pressing too much.

I don't think Aaron's helping him out too much either.

He should expect a pink slip too. Whatever shine was left on the Davonte turd is completely gone now.

He was not drafted as a number 1 receiver, so I'm not overly surprised that when thrust into the role in his second season he failed. Hell he failed miserably so far this season but it doesn't justify a pink slip.

The one-handed family night grab didn't help this. The reality is he had a whopping 38 catches last year, fewer than our boy Jarrett Boykin. With that said, the spike (among other incidents) have done nothing to ease our disdain towards him, and clearly he has been an absolute dud this year as a #1 or hell even a #6.

I feel he desperately needs a "reset" button. He has no confidence, focus, or mojo. I've been there as an athlete, and seen it with the athletes I've coached. Sometimes you get so down on yourself you just need that offseason to completely reset your mojo.

Hell Jordy went down and he was the next man up. We are spoiled as Packer fans, particularly at the WR position over the past few years. But if you step back and examine, he is a 23 year old kid that played in a spread offense in college. Physically, he has it, mentally he needs a bit more time. Same with fan favorite Jeff Janis. However, because Janis hasn't been thrust into a role he isn't ready for fans are clamoring for him while calling for Adams's head.

Again, I'm convinced it's tied heavily to "mojo" so will he fight harder for routes and the ball if/when he gets his head on straight, or is this what we have in him, I don't know. I'm confident he's a hell of a lot better than what we're seeing, just not certain what his ceiling is.

His routes this year are garbage. He was much more smooth and crisp last year. Whether it's in his head or it's the ankle injury who knows, maybe a bit of both. I can deal with drops here and there if a player is otherwise producing but he hasn't been. If it's the ankle they should just shut him down because right now he's not helping the team at all by being out there. If they still believe in him then let him rest and give us what he can in the playoffs. All he's doing right now is wasting snaps, maybe a week off will get his head right.

When was Davante Adams the Packers WR1? I don't know how he could have supplanted Randall Cobb as the top WR on the roster.

Adams is a solid WR3 when his head is screwed on straight and his ankles are un-broked. I would have benched him in favor of Jared Abberderris vs Cardinals. Yeah, that's tough having two primary slot WR (Cobb being the other), but you have to roll with guys who are making plays.

beast (20h) : 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 (21h) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (21h) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (21h) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (21h) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (22h) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (22h) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (22h) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (22h) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (22h) : 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 (22h) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (23h) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (23h) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (23h) : 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
