Driver's a class act. Congrats to Driver.

Funny, I remember him buried in the depth chart. I remember he was a 7th round pick and didn't really think much of him. Then that one year, the Packers pretty much let go of all their WRs except Driver because they saw potential in him.

Absolutely amazing. I don't think anyone in 1999 would have thought Donald Driver would someday have 600 catches.

Sharpe would have had alot more if he headn't had to retire because of injury.
That said, I'd rather see Driver with the record, as he's a great guy, and Sharpe was full of himself.
Driver has worked his butt off for this team. And i LOVED watching him today. He was all over the place, and you could see he was having fun.

A Class Act for sure. The kind that Green Bay seems to produce...maybe it is a product of the smalltown market, the absolute fan adoration, who knows.

However, put a good man in a good situation and you achieve greatness! Nice work, Driver!

He's a class act. When i got the chance to say hi to him, he was just as great as he looks on the field. Kind of the opposite attitude of Sharpe. Sharpe was in love with himself, and didn't acknowledge the fans.

I'm glad that Driver got the record!!!

Love that he broke the record while dragging four defenders to a first down. Encapsulates his career.

I agree with you when it comes to personal reasons, but had Sharpe not been injured, we probably would have won the SBs in '95 and '97. Sharpe was simply unstoppable, much better than anyone we've had since and that includes Javon Walker, despite what Favre says.

Sharpe is better than anyone today, and that includes Randy Moss and Larry Fitzgerald. Bold? Perhaps. But the stats back me up and I've seen all of them.

Yep, Sharpe was undoubtedly on his way to being one of the greatest WRs in NFL history.

Better than Fitz and Moss? Those are HOF WR's.

I wish I was older when he played. I definitely dont recognize him like you guys do.

Driver has another 600 in him. Is there something with the number 80? Driver Rice, guys just do not age.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Congrats to DD. I can't think of another player I would like to see hold the GB receptions record.

Zero2Cool (20m) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (20m) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (1h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (1h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (1h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (1h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (1h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (1h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (1h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (1h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (1h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

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

Zero2Cool (1h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (1h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (2h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (2h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (2h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (2h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (2h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (2h) : Packers will get in

beast (2h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (2h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (2h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (4h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (5h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (5h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (6h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (15h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (15h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (19h) : 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.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : 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 (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating
