Lane Taylor should also get some love. Don’t want to hear an offensive lineman’s name mentioned much.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Thank you , the negative cry baby's get on my last nerve by rolling around in the mud as they celebrate their pity party . I may not always succeed , but I try to create positive ( not negative ) threads .

Also , Mike Daniels has been a force to the D-line credit . He will get a Probowl vote from me .

Uh-oh, now I just went and gave you ideas . . .

Smokey didn't pass elementary school spelling and grammar, but at least he is positive and sarcastic.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I got to go with Kenny Clark, he's dominated the run game as a 4-2 NT... as the Packers are 7th in defensive yards push rush at 3.8 and helped keep Martinez clean, who's also stepped up and is my honorable mention.

And Damarious Randall has to be mentioned since being sent to the locker room, he's stepped it up... getting turnovers and not hearing him complain or coaches taking off the field to talk with him no more.

Also maybe Davante Adams, while his stat average seem to be on pace to be the same as last year, this year he's been able to keep his pace up even without Rodgers throwing to him and while he's getting more attention from defenses (#1 CB following him)... and becoming Hundley's favorite target.

It's hard for me to say any rookie is the most improved, as they weren't hear last year... though Jamaal Williams has looked a lot better than earlier this year... while his average is still bad, I'd be interested in his yards after contact stat as he seems to get touched early but keeps going and picks up extra yardage.

Same with new FAs, as they weren't hear last year, but OG Jahri Evans has seemed to be a very good signing, while he's no TJ Lang, he's not that far behind and a lot cheaper.

I enjoyed reading your post beast. Positive post help to ease the discomfort of a disappointing season. Too many roll in the mud and play the blame game at their bo-ho party.

Perhaps going through this season will make for a special season next year.

Some of us would like the focus to be on getting better not avoiding the subject.

Yin and yang...should be a thread on the regressing Packers, too. Nobody should be about trying to be positive or negative. That's forced. I post about things I find interesting whether positive or negative.

We don't have any young superstars. We have some solid players. We either need a bunch more really good players or some stars. What we have isn't enough even if it is light and fluffy and more fun than the reality with this team.

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."

You claim you would like to focus on "getting better"... but this freaking thread was about who's stepped up, who's improved and in other words, who's "getting better".... so if you were telling the truth, then this is the perfect thread for you, because you can focus whose getting better...

And let's see your response...

Well, it's not Clay or Nick and those two are paid over 20 million together and we still don't have a pass rush! :)

Hundley played ONE semi good game. Hit two wide open WR's and a screen accounting for all 3 TD's. Did make big play on final drive.

Aaron Jones is the guy. Kenny Clark. Blake Martinez, although, he's more by default, as there's little at ILB.

Tough watching Pittsburgh... Ben, AB, Bell, Bryant no JuJu last night Shazier...they have some mega star players. We have one.

With the exception of "Aaron Jones is the guy. Kenny Clark.",
YOU SAID NOTHING ABOUT "GETTING BETTERS"

And this was the perfect time for you to talk about players setting good examples of getting better, and instead you spend most of your time taking a verbal shit on most of the Packers players you talked about.

It was a good question, and that's why I like doing those pre-season and in-season award guesses (make up a bunch of awards like MVP, MIP (improved), etc, for offense, defense and linemen (both sides), but if I remember right, the board wasn't interested in those this preseason.

Through multiple postings, a clearer picture develops as to which players will be leading the future Packers and where attention may be needed before next season.

So far no one is praising any TE's.

Fan Shout

Zero2Cool (4h) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (18h) : 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

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
