Kentrell Brice has rare speed (4.44 in 40) for a Safety and a knack for the big hit. Do you feel comfortable with Brice filling in for Morgan Burnett?

I went on You Tube yesterday and watched the full game , GB @ Dallas. I was impressed with Kentrell Brice. It did not appear that he had been able to practice and learn/get in sync. with the GB Defense, yet he displayed good closing speed and tackled physically. He may contribute more against Atlanta where the GB Secondary will be severely tested. I wish him and the Packer's D the best of luck.

Not a Burnett fan but would rather have him vs. Atlanta. Brice has a high ceiling but he's barely off his floor right now.

His closing speed and willingness to initiate contact is among the best you'll ever see in combination. Polamalu played like that.

Perhaps, his speed will help vs. a very fast Falcons receiving corps. Brice on the field puts your head on a swivel because he's going to deck you. Maybe, he gets in their heads a bit. There aren't many guys like Brice out there and certainly not in that weak division Atlanta plays in as far as secondaries go.

Would prefer Morgan but am okay with our headhunter out there.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Has anyone heard rumors about Burnett's injury? It was the 2nd question in MM's presser yesterday and it seemed to catch him off guard, he was really bumbling through the question. Made me think it was something somewhat serious but he didn't know how to sugar coat it like with Jordy last week to make ATL think he might play.

No. Burnett is a better player. Brice is pretty good for an UDFA. He is has a long way to go and a lot to learn.

The two major instances that stood out in the Dallas game were the dropped interception and a run by Zek where Brice didn't set the edge, something Morgan does like a LB.

Thanks to pack93z for the sig!!!

I really don't like Morgan Burnett, I think he would be a backup in most teams in the NFL.
So if he can't go then Brice is fine to me, the kid has lapses but he plays with heart and hits hard.

I understand that Burnett does many "invisible" things and is allegedly a key part of our defense, but the truth is that the defense is not really stellar with him, he rarely makes an impact play and HaHa is playing bad because of him.

Zero2Cool (16h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Kanata, seek help! lol

beast (19h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (19h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (20h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (20h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (20h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (21h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (21h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (22h) : 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 (27-Dec) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (27-Dec) : 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 (27-Dec) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : 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 (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (26-Dec) : 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
