Absolutely. My only contention is that GB MIGHT have had a better record than the bares. But it is all conjecture. You know, the stuff that makes up 90% of the internet discussion boards. My original comment was more than likely GB would not be 6 games better but they might have been 3 games better (9-6-1) and da bares 3 games worse (9-7). It wouldn't have all been because of Mack. A healthier Rodgers would have been a factor as well.

Would I have wanted Gute to make the deal Chicago did and give away so much? No. But that is another issue for another thread. And this site does have space for a few more threads.

I wanted Mack because I like elite players. I am okay not having him because I feel we'd be falling short big time.

I guess I can't really remember a game last season where I thought dang if our defense was just a little better on the pass rush we'd have won. I felt the offense was big issue.

However, the only way to even think about which games he could have tilted in our favor is to play the what if game and for me one of the biggest what ifs with Mack directly involves our offense. What if we had gotten Mack and Rodgers hadn't gotten hurt in the first game. Sure there were more issues with our offense than just Rodgers injury but I have to think a healthy Rodgers would have certainly helped.

That's why anything that regarding what may have happened if we had gotten Mack is pure speculation. There is simply no way to know what may have happened.

If for no other reason, Aaron wouldn't have faced such a tenacious pass rush in week 1. He wouldn't have been hindered with an injury and would in all probability been more effective all year.

We were far more than a Mack from being contenders.

Sschind queried:

Can we delete posts I know we can edit.

No, we can not. Z2C is a ruthless taskmaster. He not only will not let us delete posts, but after a certain period of time, he won't even let you clean up typos. He is truly a unforgiving tyrant. He owns our asses.

Should have read everything before I made my last post sorry. Funny to think that maybe the most positive outcome of us getting Mack would have been on our offense and not our defense.

Flip the switch time!

Time for Mark Murphy to go back to being CEO of The Packers and leave the football process to the guys that know what they are doing.

There's no time for woulda, shoulda, coulda

New era, new leaders!

Time to sit back and enjoy the process!

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Martha Careful (23h) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, good man!
