If this is the case, I'm sick thinking about how Seattle actually went ALL IN and we're standing by looking for crumbs from the table...

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."

But what happens if you go all in and lose? Then you're broke, bum.

Seahawks are betting on that they resign Richardson... and maybe they can.

Trading Richardson never was going to be an easy proposition, and perhaps the Jets are just not finding any takers. The 26-year-old defensive lineman/linebacker is immensely talented. He won the Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2013 and went to the Pro Bowl in 2014. But off-the-field issues, suspensions and a recent drop-off in production have made him more difficult to trade than a few years ago.

Then, there is his contract situation. Richardson, entering the final year of his deal, is scheduled to make $8.1 million this season. He has not been shy about his desire to land a huge contract, with some speculation he would seek a $100 million deal.

Makes me wonder if they are going to hold Adams over the roster, or by looking, does that indicate they aren't? I think they're IRing Adams, tomorrow, and that's why they're looking.

BTW, YOU read Bob McGinn? LOL. 🙂

I have a couple of twitter items open in tabs, including journal sentinel's packers beat writers, which I guess still list McGinn and post his stuff as well.

Frankly, without a lot of luck we're at best a 12-4 team this year. Wouldn't be shocked if we went 10-6.

12-4 is aiming high for a team with this many issues. Week 1 is going to be interesting watching our overmatched OL take on their overpowering DL. Only saving grace is Seattle sucks on the road and we have RW's number on D for some reason.

Disagree on OL we have one of the best sets of starting tackles in the league with a good C and solid LG. Didn't see or hear anything this summer about Evans to have me worried there either. Back ups are a joke this year but I certainly wouldn't say we've suffered at OL in recent years.

I mean, is it completely insane to consider that we could sweep the division? I'd be shocked if we did worse than 4-2. Browns and panthers? Falcons? Saints? Ravens? Seahawks on the road we could easily lose to but we should win. I mean really, which 4 games do we need to luck out completely to win/have no chance of winning?

Zero2Cool (58m) : I guess 3 games. Whatever

Zero2Cool (1h) : Bleh, that only impacts two games.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Kanata, seek help! lol

beast (4h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (4h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (4h) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (4h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (5h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (5h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (5h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (6h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (6h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (6h) : 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 (8h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (16h) : 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 (17h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (23h) : 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 (23h) : 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

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
