Non issue.

I'll see your Swain and raise you Antoine Winfield!!!!!!!

They're going to be hurting more than we will when it comes to our pass offense vs. their pass defense.

HELL yes. Not only will Rodgers' blind side be protected, but he'll have guys coming open.

we got jake allen on the PS. i'm sure he could step in as the third WR if necessary.

Jake Allen's no slouch either. He's got skills. Probably can return kicks/punts too. Dude is a legit #3, maybe more. Of course thanks to Ted Thompson we're all world at the position.

Talk about placing unrealistic expectations on a guy! Jake Allen a legit #3? Maybe on the KR depth chart with all the injuries we have to our top two KRs.

The problem is that Jordy is now our main Return guy. You can't put him on IR. Swain has shown to be a solid ST player. Finley is a dynamic player. Which one of the three do you put on IR to sign Allen? Tough choice, probably Swain but you lose something in the ST dept.

Allen is probably my choice to get the call up. Unless Antonio Freeman wants to come out of retirement that is.

We had 10 plus receivers that went through camp.. we should be able to pull one or two in to fill in the limited snaps they will see and some Special Teams duty.

Finley is the one cog that will hurt the most because of the match up problems he provides us.. hopefully he isn't going to be down long.

Havner played well in relief.. that could be a blessing in disguise in the long run.. more flexibility in play calling.

If we do pull in a receiver I hope they can provide some options in the return game.. Williams keeps dancing like that he is going to get hurt.. love the effort but dude you are to vital to this defense.

Woodson is such a great athlete that I believe they could also use him as a wide receiver.
I wouldn't be surprised if the work on it a little bit this week.
I'm willing to bet he lobbies for the chance.

All right. I'm guilty of green and gold lenses too, but this is going a little far.

Jones and Jordy do circles around Allen. I'm glad we got him on PS, don't get me wrong. But I think Ruvell Martin was better than Allen.

We will be fine though. Hope to see more of James Jones, who I think is underrated.

I don't know how good Jake Allen is because unlike some people here, I haven't seen him play a NFL game, ... YET!!! 🙂

We should be good vs the Vikings, just need the 4 WR to perform like they did against the browns. Last time we were caught having a bad first quarter of the season but things are turning for good and confidence is returning to the Packers Locker room. Havner did a pretty good job against the browns he could line up as WR even though he is a TE.

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Johnson didn't make it until 2020. Ring 2023. 🤷 Personally, he should have been in years prior to Hall.

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : HUMP DAY

beast (8-Jan) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (8-Jan) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (8-Jan) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : S Xavier McKinney named first-team All-Pro by NFLPA

beast (8-Jan) : I missed it, sorry, but he got into the NFL Hall of Fame years before that

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (8-Jan) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8-Jan) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol
