Honest time...these injuries SCREW the Packers big time, whether they are out for the week of practice, a game, or a few weeks.

I believe a team runs off of rhythm which is obtained in practicing and playing multiple games together. These injuries will screw with the rhythm of this team.

In order of importance (imo):
1. If Rodgers is out next week, is there ONE person here who honestly thinks the Packers can beat the Dolphins?

2. Clay Matthews IS the Green Bay Packers defense, as shown yesterday.

3. I'm going to group this one. Finley AND Lee out is going to hurt our offensive production. We run our offense around the tight end. Our back ups are young and inexperienced. It will be easier for defenses to cover our WRs.

4. There isn't much going on in the secondary after Burnett's injury. Peprah has done 'okay' at best. He blew a few coverages yesterday, to be expected by a 3rd stringer.

5. Pickett is a hit-or-miss injury. Problem with his injury is 1. he could stuff the run pretty well and 2. we are already shallow on the d-line.

6. I put Nick Barnett last. Why? Dez Bishop can play ball and after watching him yesterday, I'd rather him start over Barnett anyways. Shoot me.

I didn't bother to put Grant in here because that has been overly discusses, focusing more on the 'now' injuries.

I"m not sure Matthews is quite as important as people think, but count me among those who really hopes we don't have to find out.

As for Rodgers, the team can probably afford to lose him for a game. But more than that, and they're hosed.

Which is why I keep spending every offseason yammering about the GODDAMN OFFENSIVE LINE AND HOW A "SERVICEABLE" LINE ISN"T FUCKING GOOD ENOUGH.

:horse: :horse: :horse: :horse: :horse: :horse:

Rodgers is IMO the quarterback I want above all as the GB leader right now. But I don't care how tough he is, if he's going to keep getting hammered he's going to miss time. A concussion here, a banged up shoulder there, an ankle over there.

Book it.

Sorry, my knees jerked again. It's been another fucking pissy day.

It's going to be a tough year. You don't just replace starters, especially Pro Bowl caliber players like Finley and Mathews. No team can stand the looses we've had. Making the playoffs will be quite and accomplishment.

I saw a QB go from the verge of not wanting to the snap the ball because he couldn't find Clay, to a QB who couldn't wait to snap the ball to throw it deep because he had all day.

One quarter, where the coaching staff hasn't had any chance to gameplan around his absence, is not enough evidence for me.

Losing Matthews would be a big loss, no doubt about that. But its a lesser loss than Rodgers would be. It might be survivable.

If we lose Aaron Rodgers, CM3, or Charles Woodson, season is done. (note that I'm knocking on wood as I'm typing this).

I'm wondering what's wrong with the Green Bay medical staff. Can't they just shoot our players up with the same drugs that keep Favre on the field?

beast (3h) : If they aren't doing it, then why are you assuming they know how to do it?
dfosterf (8h) : Mackelvie
dfosterf (8h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?
dfosterf (9h) : Youtube
Zero2Cool (13h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.
dfosterf (16h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo
Zero2Cool (17h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha
wpr (18h) : Tomorrow is almost here.
packerfanoutwest (18h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?
packerfanoutwest (18h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him
Zero2Cool (20h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.
packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?
packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat
wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.
wpr (22-Apr) : now 3
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?
beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
