I didn't get all the hate for Flynn and calling for his benching. He doesn't look good at times, but Tolzein looked even worse. Thankfully us fans don't make these decisions. Flynn is obviously the better option . . . at least for this season. Some can't get past the "grass is greener on the other side" thing, for some reason.

Glad whoever was in there got it done today.

Matt Flynn acknowledged one of his problems in the first half was he was locking into his first read before progressing to his second read far too long. He said in the second half he made decisions quicker instead of waiting for his first read to get open.

Edit, more from Matt Flynn.

They were also stuck in 3rd and long too often because of some holding calls and sacks. They were 1st or 2nd and 15 to 20 about 3 or four times (thanks, in part, to that flip toss that never did work) and ended up having to punt.

That made it hard to keep the ball moving and sustain drives in the first half. McCarthy was definitely more conservative in those situations then he would have been with Rodgers.

They weren't going to ask Flynn to do to much and would rather punt it then risk a turnover. Dallas' D sucks but they are among the league leaders in creating turnovers which is rather odd.

Also Dallas gave us that game, you are averaging 7.1 yards a rush and you need to run out the closk you decide to pass [duh]

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

The thought entered my mind I think twice during the game, but I stopped myself each time and thought we didn't come this far to give up on our guys now. Flynn got the starter reps this week; let him finish this game with the team. Win or Lose; do it together.

There's a strange chemistry that makes Flynn perfect for GB and no other team.

It's also clear that whatever it is that makes Flynn confortable is not in MM plans at the start of the game, he always starts badly.

Had we signed Flynn after Oakland released him we would be probably at 9-5 or 10-4 with Rodgers coming back to confirm the division title.

Now we just get to root for the ravens and get ready to take the steelers and the bears at home ...

If Rodgers is unable to go, Play Tolzein for the first half, and let Flynn come out after half-time to get a comeback win.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Zero2Cool (4h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (11h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (11h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (12h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (12h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (13h) : Who? What?

beast (22h) : 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

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

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?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
