Yes, but who is/was out there?

That gives me an idea. Now that the UFL season is over there's a bunch of backs readily available. Many of them are former NFL castoffs, but may be worth a look. They should be in great playing shape.

Jackson is capable if the o line is doing it's job. The o line was pretty shitty today.

Grant went out week 1 and everyone thought BJ and Kuhn was the answer. It was discussed on here numerous time and people thought BJ was the man, now come down to the grind of the season and bad weather and look who is not producing??????? Ted Thompson had plenty of opportunity to get something done after week 1 and didn't, it's called being cheap. Hopefully we can get into the playoffs, but with no running game, look to next year maybe.

Turner wore or defense down and opened it up for Ryan, that is what a good back does.

B-Jack left some runs out there, but I put most of the onus on the o-line. When Jackson is getting hit two to three yards in the backfield what can you really say?

Yes. +1.

The O-line was horrible in the running game... And Jackson just added to that by some bad decisions.

Now, I don't know if Jackson will be the answer at any point. I'm not saying that he'll be. I do know that he can do better than what we saw today.

I also know that this offense was pretty good without a running game. The short passing game took over completely for that horrible running game. Take that one flukey fumble away and we put up 24 on Atlanta... That's pretty darn good.

Not perfect, I'd love some more balance, but still, I like the playcalling this game.

Well to be honest, that fumble in the end zone was the back breaker. That wasn't on Bjack. I've been talking up Bjack this entire time, but at this point, I sure wouldn't mind seeing what Starks can do.

I loathe these types of posts. Please tell me who the Packers could/should have picked up, and how.

You think Minnesota will just give us Peterson, or the Titans give us Johnson for a stick of chewing gum and a Robin Yount rookie card?!?!?!? ::roll:

Honestly, I don't think we NEED a game changing RB. We've gotten this far without one....

Sure, Michael Turner had a huge game, but they didn't run away with the game. We had a great chance to win if it weren't for our terrible special teams. That being said, a good passing offense is MUCH more valuable than a good running offense.

Don't panic!

Jackson is the offensive version of AJ Hawk. No one else has so many skills and tries so hard to get so little production.
Maybe that's why they like him so much. He's a microcosm of Mike McCarthy's teams.

And here comes the hate on McCarthy. You just love it when we lose so you can complain about him, don't you?

Oh, and in case you didn't know, AJ Hawk is leading our team in tackles. He's having a great season.

I wish Edgar Bennett would just tell Jackson to just run forward, get those feet moving first, then read the play. I believe I noticed at least three times when Jackson received the ball his feet didn't move for moments. This isn't the Big 12 North and the Cyclones defense you are used to playing against Brandon. Everyone in the NFL is fast. Go go go go!!

I knew this thread was coming, especially with Brian Billick, the king of the coachspeak announcers, calling the game. He was harping on the difference in the running games all day long, and yet, with less than one minute left, the score was tied, and that was with the Packers having committed the game's only turnover--a fumble at the Falcons' one yard line.

So the lesson we get from this is that the Falcons won the game because they have a better running game? Give me a break. This is not the 1970s, folks. The pass-happy Packers moved the ball more effectively today then the Falcons did. The Falcons won because they made a couple of big plays and the Packers kickoff coverage team made the big mistake.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (22h) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
