Jamaal Williams wanted to score. Of course he did. A game-winning touchdown would’ve been the perfect capper to this night, an emphatic punctuation to the message he’d sent, a reminder the Green Bay Packers had not just one good running back, but actually two.

He wanted to score as soon as he took the handoff at the 15-yard line. He wanted to score when the Detroit Lions defense parted like the Red Sea, practically pleading for him to go right ahead. He wanted to score as he dashed inside the 10, a pair of linebackers watching him, standing still.

“I thought about it so bad,” Williams said. “Oh, I wanted to.”

Williams heard it from veteran tight ends Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis. He heard it from his offensive line. He heard it from Aaron Rodgers.

It's an interesting "what if". Would the defense who had been outstanding in the second half been able to shut down the Lions again? I think so but we'll never know. Moments like that are made for the "Smith Brothers" and their sacks. A chance for a turnover would have increased 3 fold.

It would have changed the post game narrative from "GB only won by 1 point" to "GB only won by 5 points".

TheKanataThrilla (6h) : Jeanty would be a great pick-up for the Bears. I see Warren mocked to them as well who I think would be a great selection.

Zero2Cool (7h) : GameDay Chat is open. Posting bits an tids in there.

Zero2Cool (7h) : Excellent Source: The Bears have a deal in place to move up to 5 if Jeanty is there.

Zero2Cool (8h) : Probably not until 10pm will be making pick

dfosterf (9h) : But it is still not tonight. Lol

beast (17h) : If they aren't doing it, then why are you assuming they know how to do it?

dfosterf (22h) : Mackelvie

dfosterf (22h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (22h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (23-Apr) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (23-Apr) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

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
