I'm pleased that Aaron Rodgers expects Jordy Nelson and Jared Cook to be back soon, but for some weird reason, I have far less optimistic expectations. How do you all feel?

If they expect those two receivers to be back soon, then I guess that's what we should expect. Any player can be lost for the season on any play, even in practice. So I guess having "far less optimistic expectations" has more to do with you than reality.

Something seems especially fishy about Cook's situation.

We will see them when we see them. If they are about to come off the PUP, great.

The first 12 games of the season don't really grab my excitement or interest all that much. If players start missing games that last quarter of the season, that's when I get concerned.

Missing practices? Nah, I'm not concerned. I think Clay Matthews missed his first entire exhibition seasons and I believe he has turned out okay. I'm just not that optimistic about them coming back for practice because I've seen too many players dance around skipping practices and still show up when the games count.

Fact is Green Bay's TC started a week or so early, so they're probably just holding these guys out for that reason. But we've seen guys with ostensibly minor abrasions miss entire years and even have their careers end. We've been snake bit. We do not know what to expect, at all.

We got an extra week of practice and haven't even started the "regular" preseason yet. I'm not too worried about it, especially with Jordy. He just needs enough time to get confident on his knee other than that I don't care to see him in any of the fake games anyways.

The offense hasn't exactly been lighting it thus far.

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)
