I didnt even know he was still in the league after all he was like 4th string for KC last time I seen him. But yeeeaaaahhhh we signed a veteran Wide out and I am not made about it as its a cheap one year prove it deal. They still need to draft 2 this year. I am hoping for Williams and maybe Austin.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I think this means a wr in the first or second round and bargain shopping for a wr in the fourth round.

Speed guy, plugging holes before the draft. Takes pressure off, reduces temptation to reach if the board doesn't fall Gutey's way.

Now they have to "bargain shop" in later rounds for WRs because they signed Sammy Watkins?

I'd still like to pull Christian Watson and Chris Olave out of this draft. Not like they lost picks getting Watkins.

So for 2023, only WR Rodgers is locked up, if you don't get two high potential guys, then WR is a need again in 2023.

Also 2019 was the last year Cobb, Lazard or Watkins played a complete season. Though they often get to 10 games, but they miss a few, so we need the rookies to potential be able to step up.

I think a first round receiver is more likely start in his first year.

The packers have had great success picking talented receivers in the second round but none of them were real contributors in their first year.

The fourth round is we’re you get guys with natural gifts but are not fully rounded receivers.

It is a decent signing. It raises the floor and might raise the ceiling as well. We shall see. Depending on when the WR run takes place it could be that the Packers take a 1st and 3rd round pick in the draft.
Keep in mind all most all rookies are pretty bad. There have not been very many Justin Jeffersons to come along and shine in year 1. Sammy helps bridge into their second season.

I like the Watkins signing. It MIGHT take the pressure off a first round receiver. The draftee doesn’t have to be the man from game one. He won’t have to know the entire route tree from day one and can maximize what he does well early in the season. By mid season he can step up his play.

Mucky Tundra (22m) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (42m) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (1h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (1h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (2h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (2h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (3h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (3h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (3h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (3h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (3h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (3h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (3h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (3h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (3h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (3h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (3h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (3h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (3h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (3h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (3h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (3h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (3h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (3h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (3h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (3h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (3h) : Packers will get in

beast (3h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (4h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (4h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (5h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (7h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (7h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (7h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (7h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (17h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (17h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (20h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.
