I'm calling bullshit on this article.

Abby and, yes I'll admit it, JEFF JANIS looked better than Cobb and Davante have looked for most of the season.

We left about 5 turnovers on the field today. Defense played great, except when it really mattered.

Yeah that's an unnecessary article, maybe he just needed to fill a page with something. Our WRs behind Cobb weren't a problem last night.

Speaking of Cobb, GB needs to give Montgomery and Abbrederis a legit shot at the starting slot role next year. McCarthy probably will guarantee it to Cobb but with the way he played this year he needs to be put on notice. If he wasn't the starter he still has value as a ST/WR/RB gadget guy so it wouldn't even be a total waste.

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder
