Well we needed some help at LB as far as depth goes and these guys didn't cost us anything. I was just hoping to see at least two of our PUP guys get activated this week even though there is still one roster spot open right now. We need help and healthy bodies anywhere we can get them. Simpkins wasn't a huge cut and I wouldn't mind seeing him added back to the practice squad.

Edit: I guess we signed a 3rd LB to take up the last open spot on the 53-man roster. LB Erik Walden formerly of the Dolphins.

I wouldn't be surprised to see one of these guys cut to make room for a Harris or Bigby at the end of the week, they have the luxury right now to take an extended look at these guys before having to make any decisions by what, Saturday at 4pm or so?

So why not sign them, put them through a couple practices and see how it goes, its really a no-risk situations, if thats what they're doing.

With Brad Jones now on the IR list there was a slot for all three LBs. I think GB can still bring back one of the PUPs without releasing anyone.

You I keep thinking of these tv and radio guys, Fomo included, who claim that all the other teams have as many injuries as GB does.

Right :crazy:

Yeah I honestly can't remember ANY team putting this many players on IR, so it really gets old with the "every team has injuries" thing. Yes every team has injuries, no every team does NOT have like 15 players on IR. sheesh

Edit: Is there some place to view the current IR list?

Jones to IR, Howard Green claimed from jets.

Jets 330 lb backup NT Howard Green cut today. Would be a nice pickup, especially ahead of the game this weekend.

We signed him and he's a spy for the Jets. He's informing the Jets of our defensive schemes.

I hope we signed him because we think he can play. it's been nuts how the last few years, and especially this year how many players are getting signed the week that the new team plays their old team.

Mucky Tundra (2h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (2h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (2h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (11h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (12h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (12h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (15h) : 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

Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!
