2024 Excuse - 2025 Optimism Thread

We had a new DC in 2024 and only one loss was double digits. @Eagles by 5, Vikings by 2, Lions by 10, @Lions by 3, @Vikings by 2, Bears by 2.

Jordan Love should have sat more games because he didn't fully recover.

Let's talk Eagles playoff game.
* Special teams gives up the ball and three plays and 28 yards later Packers are down by 7 barely two minutes into the game
* No Christian Watson
* Romeo Doubs misses most of 2nd half with concussion
* Lost Jayden Reed who torced Eagles week 1
* Lost Elgton Jenkins and Josh Myers
* Lost several defenders too.

And yet Packers hold Eagles to 22 points, their lowest point total of the post season and remember, 7 were basically spotted to them.

Point totals aside, the Packers were hanging toe to toe with the eventual NFL Champions.

Alright, those are excuses, but also let's be realistic here. We're not a shit team. We did win 11 games last year with a hobbled QB and a new defensive coordinator.

Let's look at the roster.

Offensively, we are sitting pretty damn good. Musgrave should be healthy and so should Marshawn Lloyd. We got much needed depth on the OL.

QB: Jordan Love, Malik Willis
RB: Josh Jacobs, Marshawn Lloyd, Chris Brooks, Emanuel Wilson
WR: Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Mathew Golden, Dontayvion Wicks, Savion Williams, Mecole Hardman, Malik Heath, Christian Watson (PUP)
TE: Tucker Kraft, Luke Musgrave, Ben Sims
T: Rasheed Walker, Zach Tom, Jordan Morgan, Travis Glover, Kadeem Telfort
G: Aaron Banks, Anthony Belton, Sean Rhyan
C: Elgton Jenkins, Jacob Monk, Trey Hill

Defensively we are going to step up big in year two of this scheme.

DL: Rashan Gary, Lukas Van Ness, Karl Brooks, Kenny Clark, Devonte Wyatt, Brenton Cox Jr., Kingsley Enagbare, Colby Wooden, Arron Mosby
LB: Quay Walker, Edgerrin Cooper, Ty'Ron Hopper, Isaiah McDuffie, Kristian Welch
CB: Keisean Nixon, Nate Hobbs, Carrington Valentine, Kalen King
S: Javon Bullard, Xavier McKinney, Kitan Oladapo, Evan Williams

Special Teams are stable now with McManus kicking and hopefully we re-sign Dan Whelan.
LS: Matt Orzech
K: Brandon McManus
P: Exclusive Rights Free Agent: P Dan Whelan

All in all, I think we should feel pretty good about the upcoming 2025 season. You get better from within. And we will!

beast (13m) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls

beast (15m) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (39m) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (57m) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (57m) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (1h) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (1h) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (1h) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (2h) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (2h) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (2h) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (2h) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (3h) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (3h) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?

beast (3h) : It's not official until I'm dead! I have a chance still! (Not really)

Mucky Tundra (12h) : I could feel my body decomposing in real time when I read that

Mucky Tundra (12h) : @MIKEYSAINRISTIL Tyler Shough will officially be the last person drafted to the NFL born in the 1900’s

Mucky Tundra (22h) : saw the tweet, he meant the city

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Was that for the team or the city?

Zero2Cool (23h) : Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter · 3m Draft grade is in: Green Bay gets an A. The people, the city, the venue were all superb. NFL Draft’s next

Zero2Cool (23h) : Matt LaFleur says Jaire Alexander is participating in #Packers offseason program, which has been conducted virtually during this first week

Zero2Cool (23h) : ✅ ...

buckeyepackfan (26-Apr) : Check

Zero2Cool (26-Apr) : Matthew Golden cahanged 81 to 22??

TheKanataThrilla (26-Apr) : Sam Howell to Vikings...guess no Aaron

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : 1 round 7 min, with one extra minute if there is a trade. 2nd round 4 minutes, 3rd -3, 2 thereafter IMO

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Agree

dfosterf (26-Apr) : Great idea imo

dfosterf (26-Apr) : 1st round to 7 minutes with one extension

dfosterf (26-Apr) : NFL comissioner wants to shorten the 2st

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : @jalenreagors They’re discussing if Sheduer can go back to college on NFL Network LMFAOOOOO

beast (26-Apr) : Great point Martha

beast (26-Apr) : Buddy Ryan used to say if a candy bar goes missing, there are two to blame, Rex and Rob 🤪 jk 😁

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Bum Phillips used to say there are two ways to get better. Get better players or get players to play better. We have a new DL coach

Zero2Cool (26-Apr) : Yes. Look at the losses last year. They can win.

beast (26-Apr) : Can Packers win with their current DL?

bboystyle (26-Apr) : waiting for a pass rusher.

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 5 minutes between picks in the 3rd

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 3rd. Hate this phone

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 4rd

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 5 minutes in the 4

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 7 minutes between picks in the 2nd round

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : Sorry to bitch, but the headline writers in that section absolutely mislead, or don't know how to read. It is maddening

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : No thanks. Not a dependable guy to be in the right place and run the right route. Dumb as a box of rocks.

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : Losing 2nd round pick for a one year rental, not ideal. Especially a headcase.

TheKanataThrilla (25-Apr) : Pickens for Jaire may be interesting. Definitely not sure we want Pickens long term.

dfosterf (25-Apr) : No.Absolutely not

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : NO NO NO NO NO NO!!1 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

dhazer (25-Apr) : scenario: Our main prospects are off the board when our pick comes around, do we just throw a 2nd round pick at Pittsburgh for Pickens
