We wouldn't have been able to get Matthews if we didn't have a certain extra third round pick.

I still say in terms of draft slot.. we paid too much to move into that slot...

1st-26 5th-162

I'd have liked to have received a 4th or 5th as well, but I'm down with it because it appears we have a solid player on our roster for years to come.

If he keeps playing this well, this could end up looking like a steal for us. I've done my share of complaining about TT, but this was a move I was ecstatic about when it happened.

Don't get me wrong.. I am okay with overpaying for a player here and there.. just that it was an overpayment at the time.. sometimes those risks reaps the reward.. just don't want to make a habit of it.

I'm glad he over paid for him, if that's the consensus. Perhaps it will turn a light on into his dome to trust his instincts on players and do what it takes to get them. 🙂

I mentioned in chat last night about how after yesterdays performance that Clay Matthews is now only 1 of 2 pass rushers drafted in the last two years who is averagin at least .5 sacks per game. In 12 games CM3 has 7.0, and Orakapo has 7.0 in 12 games as well. Taking a look at some other names that aren't up to that snuff, I think it's quite impressive what CM3 is doing. Chris Long (8.0 in 28 games), Larry English (2.0 in 12 games), Aaron Curry (2.0 in 12 games), Everette Brown (1.5 in 11 games). The biggest "pass rushing dunce cap wearer" (courtesy Peter King) is Vernon Ghoulston, supposed elite pass rusher of the future (0.0 in 25 games). Kudos to Thor and what he has brought to the Pack this year for being considered maybe only the 3rd best LB from USC this year.

Aaron Curry is not a pass rusher though. Just a 4-3 OLB.

Very true, was just one of the names in the list of 20 that jumped out to me.

The fact that he made a left tackle look mediocre most of the night is beyond amazing. The size difference alone was funny to watch when Matthews was standing him up and making moves to make the tackle.

Big honor for #Packers LB Clay Matthews: NFC defensive player of the week. Should help his cause for defensive rookie of the year.

beast (1h) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2h) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2h) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2h) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2h) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (3h) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (3h) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (3h) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (3h) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (3h) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (3h) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (4h) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (4h) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (4h) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (8h) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (13h) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (13h) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (20h) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (21h) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (23h) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over

packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor

Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : Colts-Giants now a tight one
