Rambling Week 17 Playoff thoughts

Can the Vikings beat the 3rd seed, weather it's Saints or Seahawks?

I feel like the Eagles are going to lose against which ever NFC West Loser they face (Seahawks or 49ers).

The Saints vs Vikings might be an interesting game, not only because Saints went up to the Vikings and the Vikings stole one with the Minneapolis Miracle... but because the Vikings are set up to stop the pass, and the Saints defense is banged up, which might give the Vikings offense a better chance. And Vikings MIGHT be able to steal another one... (though of course I'm thinking Saints).

Then (assuming the Vikings lose) the loser of the NFC West, beats the Eagles... and goes onto face the #1 seed.... so either 49ers come to Green Bay (if Seahawks win the division) or Seahawks go back to the 49ers (if the 49ers win the division)...

I think I rather not face that 49ers team (if possible)... and almost would rather face the Saints. Though they might be equally good as they battled it out in a very close game.... but right now the Packers need to face weaker defenses do give the Packers offense a chance.

It might be better if the Seahawks lose the division game, then go face the 49ers and hopefully win.... then the Seahawks go on to face the winner of the Packers vs Saints.

Just some rambling thoughts.

Still too difficult to get until the game is decided tonight.
Just good to know the Packers have a week to rest, either way.

I know you summed it up well, I’ve just had a migraine today and have trouble concentrating.

I don't see Minny beating the Saints. They should win in Seattle.

packerfanoutwest (3h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (3h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (3h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (3h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (4h) : Who? What?

beast (13h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (17h) : meh

Zero2Cool (22h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (22h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (22h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

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

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
