Finally somebody likes punters. Except Pack93z. That's why kickers and punters hang out together. We sit at the end of the bench and make lists of all the fans, sportswriters, TV and radio announcers, wide receivers, lineman, QB's, etc., that we're going to put on our hit list when the season is over. LOL.

Lonely job.....I know from experience.

Anyone for a Weenie Roast?

I still hold my breath every time he punts, but performances like this will go along ways in making me breath easy. Definitely, the unsung hero in todays game.

I don't think there can be any debate about this. Masthay was unquestionably the player of the game. It's impossible to overstate the importance of field position in the NFL, and he set the Bears up with consistently terrible field position.

In some games, field position means close to jack squat (Last year's playoff game for example? Maybe our defense would have been more well-rested if we let them return every other kickoff for a near-TD).

This game however, was a defensive battle. Special teams was just as important as offense in this one.

I'm looking forward to seeing if Ted Thompson brings in punting competition in camp.

They have gone out of their way to let Crosby be the #1 K the past 2 years yet have thrown the P job open as we've not had a #1.

If they think Masthay can be a legitimate starter then maybe they let him have all the offseason reps, build his confidence and use the roster spot on another position.

He did a great job today. It is funny to think how many people wanted the big Aussie Bryan as the punter.

It was a close race until Masthay pulled away at the very end. Bryan signed with Tampa Bay, but was waived after four games.

Thanks for the update on Bryan. I was wondering where he ended up but I didn't have time to check.

I'm really happy to eat humble pie on Masthay. I thought we should cut him after the Redskins game (which I still say he lost for us with his horrible punting). That said, he has played integral roles in our win against the Jets and Bears. I'm not 100% sold on him yet. But a solid performance throughout the playoffs would go a long way towards securing his spot in our long term plans.

You said it!

This is a big game for him this week because DeSean Jackson can burn you much like Devin Hester can. That is a matchup that nobody seems to be talking about yet.

Mucky Tundra (4h) : @AaronNagler · 2m Both Jordan Love and Malik Willis were Limited participants at Packers practice today.

Zero2Cool (7h) : Johnson didn't make it until 2020. Ring 2023. 🤷 Personally, he should have been in years prior to Hall.

Zero2Cool (7h) : HUMP DAY

beast (7h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (7h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (7h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (7h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (7h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (7h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (7h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (7h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

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

beast (9h) : I missed it, sorry, but he got into the NFL Hall of Fame years before that

Zero2Cool (10h) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (10h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (10h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (10h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (10h) : 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 (22h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (23h) : 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

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats beast on 2024 !

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats porky on winning 2023 pick'em! (oops sorry)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Missed FG into a Lions TD; that'll do pig, that'll do

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
