It's too bad, we can't easily get Rodgers, Matthews, Shields, Pepper and Cobb maybe taking $1 million less... and then asking WR Torrey Smith to taking a million or two less himself and then the Packers could afford it.

Also your logic doesn't make sense to me... if those 3 aren't going to be here next year... wouldn't it make more sense for Smith to be added? Because their would be more cap room... so easier to add him, therefore that would make it more likely.

Basically it'd be a trade off, dropping those 3 to pick up someone else (such as Smith).

But Bulaga can play... at some point I thought they may have to slide him into OG, but he should be able to play there as he's physical enough, if another/better OT steps up sometime in the future.

The reason I think Matthews is a possible cut is because of the guys we need to resign. You have Tretter and Lang on the Oline. Then you have Datone Jones, who's become a valuable player btw, and Nick Perry. Also, you have to prepare to give Randall and Rollins contract extensions.

The NFL is a business, not a fan favorite keep everybody sport. Tough decisions go with managing a cap, and players that are not performing to their contract amounts become expendable.

Why do you think agents and players try to get as much guaranteed money in their contracts?

Torrey Smith = Bad Deal

Montgomery = Deep Threat ( Provided someone wakes the hell up .)

The 2016 Packers greatest current concern, IMO, is at the RB and the CB positions . In addition, if the advantage this team possess' is not cashed in THIS SEASON , a great window of opportunity will slam shut for the Packers. It may then take as long as 5 years for that window to open again .

It was sad watching Wolf and Sherman fuck up what should have been a dynasty with Favre. And it is equally as frustrating watching Ted Thompson fuck up this team.

Oh well, I was lucky to watch the 96 and 2010 teams. Could be worse, we could be Vikings fans.

I thought he sounded like a good addition to our offense, but that price tag is way too high. There is no way that Ted would match that contract, and for good reason. We already have a few guys that aren't earning their monster paychecks.

I am all for paying to get more talent on the roster, but when you figure that Pittsburgh is paying 10 million for Antonio Brown - you can't justify it. If Smith is due 9+ million per year, he would have to be a touchdown machine.

Zero2Cool (3m) : Bleh, that only impacts two games.

Zero2Cool (10m) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Kanata, seek help! lol

beast (3h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (3h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (3h) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (3h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (4h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (4h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (4h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (4h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (5h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (5h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (7h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (15h) : 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 (16h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (22h) : 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 (22h) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (23h) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : 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
