Several points:
1. I hate the "I'm offended" meme. Anyone else here old enough to remember the "sticks and stones" refrain?
2. Feel free to call me names anytime you want, Dakota. Anyone else who is tempted to call me names, feel free to, too. :)
3. Compared to what each of us really deserves as the result of our sins, being called a naughty name, or a thousand naughty names, is so trivial as to be laughable.
4. Obviously, I'm also an asshole.

Anyway, Wade the only thing I don't like about you is having to read novels on something you could have said in a paragraph. But that's my problem because I'm really lazy with the few entertainment hours I have for PH. But you knew that.

As for this teams needs, we have 4 stand out players: Rodgers, Matthews, Nelson, and Sitton. The rest of the team could be improved upon. No needs? Give me a break. Who came up with this topic?

You make the mistake of thinking I give a damn about those things. I don't think I used any names. So sorry if you feel offended. 😂

As the topic clearly states, "notable needs", are what is being focused on here. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize the point being made if we just remove our heads from asses for a minute to read before worrying about what we're going to spout off with.

I think depth behind the 22 starters is more concerning than the majority of the 22 starters.

OFFENSE
QB - Aaron Rodgers
RB - Eddie Lacy (post p90x)
WR1 - Jordy Nelson
WR2 - Randall Cobb
WR3 - Davante Adams (fingers crossed)
TE - Jared Cook (fingers crossed)
LT - David Bakhtiari
LG - Josh Sitton
C - Corey Linsley
RG - T.J. Lang
RT - Bryan Bulaga

If that offensive unit stays healthy, it's one helluva unit. The depth beyond those starters is very questionable to say the least. Hell, two of the starters are questionable.

DEFENSE
DE - Letroy Guion
NT - Mike Pennel
DT - Mike Daniels
LOLB - Clay Matthews
MLB - Jake Ryan
ROLB - Julius Peppers
LCB - Damarious Randall
RCB - Sam Shields
NB - Quiten Rollins
SS - Morgan Burnett
FS - Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix

The weak spot on defense has to be the middle linebacker Jake Ryan. If the Packers can add some DL depth to form a wickedly powerful defensive line, the linebackers will produce better.

Agree wholly with last paragraph. And I will not be surprised at all if Sitton is gone after this year. If he has another year like last year, the Pack might be able to afford him. On the other hand, if he has another year like last year, they'll be down to 3 stand out players.

You heard it here first: Ted will choose to spend big bucks to keep Bahktiari. And let both Sitton and Lang depart.

Needs are like what the Browns have at WR or the Saints have for their entire front seven.

That doesn't mean we're not awfully average at a lot of positions, though.

GBs need on the DL, IL or at OT is real but not as urgent as other teams need to find a decent QB.

We do "need" some guys on the Dline.

Raji retired, Datone moved to elephant and Pennell is gonna be suspended for the first .25 of the season.

Fortunately this draft is deep in that area.

I had originally listed Billings and Austin Johnson as guys I liked, but Micheal Rodney pointed out that we've got two guys (Guion and Pennell) who can play nose, so we have more of a "need" outside. That's true. Especially since Dom mainly uses a 2-4 scheme anyway.

Fan Shout

Mucky Tundra (4h) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (5h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (11h) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (11h) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (12h) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (19h) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : 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
