Gotta love a man who tweets about himself so humbly in the third person.

Should have taken the FG on 4th and 2 early.

Glad they did so late.

This kid is way too hard on himself. Gotta brush it off and make the next one.

Half full: The franchise is back up to .500 with Da Bears, correct?

Disagree on Rodgers. Dude needs to get the damn ball OUT. Especially now that's supposedly injured. And I HATED that last play to Jordy. Yeah I know it saved our season, but it's a low percentage play. We got lucky on a Bert Favor special.

Yes, Rodgers holds on to the ball too long.

No, the route selection is in no way shape or form making getting the ball out quickly easy in most cases. I cannot for the life of me understand why virtually every designed pass play doesn't have at LEAST one person running a route across the middle of the field right behind the LBs, or a RB (Montgomery?!?!?) giving a quick block/delay then going out in the flat. Some of this is definitely on Rodgers, but he needs to have a short option to go to once the heat starts coming in. It'll also help people get open when we don't have 5 WRs running downfield, often with 2 or sometimes even 3 within 10 yards of eachother (carrying just as many if not more defenders with them)

Had a little bit of that from Jordy too.

Nice to see Rodgers merely annoyed (mildly for him) and the receivers angry.

We had a blast this weekend. It wasn't as cold as expected but it still pushed us a bit.

There were A LOT of Packer fans. Probably around 1/3. In my area is was 50-50. That plus about 1/5 of the stadium was no shows. The Packer voices were heard today.

At the start of the game the stadium was only 1/2 full at best. Photo to follow.

We applied our randomization algorithm in the 4th quarter. The prevent defense almost prevented our win and boy we looked bad, the Bears are bad but they took it personal. If I were Fox I would have tried a fake FG down 24-27, that would have been a sweet way to destroy a rival team. But Fox was Fox and we have been lucky to face a string of horrible QBs and coaches at the Bears in the last few years (ages?)

Here we go:

The Glass Half Full:

- D. Bakthiari: Probably the best LT in the NFL at this moment, he is just impossible to pass, watch a replay of the game and you will see the left side of our line is rock solid and that leads me to the next player.

On our way home I turned on 670 WSCR and the host was screaming at Fox for about 10 minutes. First he said the 10 second run off would have helped them. Then he was upset about the Bears failure to try for the td. As he said the Bears have 3 wins. Why try for the tie and OT when they had a chance for for the win.

I was in the "I don't care if Teddy resigned Bakthiari or not. I thought he was going to be easily replaced for a lot less money. I was certainly wrong.

Zero2Cool (6h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (6h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (9h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (9h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (12h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (12h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
