Would you prefer the Packer get in the Playoffs this year and take their chances, depleted as we are?

Or would you prefer a great draft, to go with the our talent and the injured players getting healthy, which would mean a poor record this year?

Personally, I prefer the great draft as I believe if gives us a better chance of winning the SB in the long run, especially with Ted Thompson as GM.

When you play, you play to win.

whether you play NFL, College, or electric makes no difference. You can get great players in the draft with maneuvering.

I would love a superbowl how long ago till we won one or were even in a superbowl, i could see why you may want good drafts but not all top 10 picks are great are they? Look at Ryan Leaf

Me.. I like to play each year for what it is.. win as many freaking games as possible. I never like to play the futures game, unless it is the stock market. 😉

There are two many variables in next year.. or the future.. if we wound up with a #5 slot in the draft or so.. it means we are just shelling out that much more for a player with unknown pro capabilities. Add to it, we need Olineman.. blue chip tackles go high, not blue chip guards.

That was the hard part of swallowing last years defeat.. we were so close and came out listless in the CG.

If we were 3-12 going into the final week.. I would still expect them to win the game. Never lie down..

Point taken, however I stated the choice IS/WOULD IN FACT RESULT in a great draft.

All teams play to win, but they don't all win.

Don't take anything personally, I'm playing devil's advocate to provolk some though.

Edit: clarified first statement

I have had enough drafts. I wish we wouldnt even have a draft!! Because maybe then Ted Thompson would go out and spend some money.

High picks surely don't guarantee a great draft by any means.

This team has the horses to win now (granted some of those horses may be a bit lame at the moment). Win now, draft later.

See above, sorry I wasn't clearer.

I don't believe we have the horses, no interior line, DL not good with Jenkins out for the year, Grant has to show he is for real, depth. The next few games will tell starting this weekend.

its a tough call but i would like to see them in the playoffs think there are quality players to get there and because d.d and al woodson clifton mark t are players that don't have much time to get to a s.b

Yes. I think the last few years have proven that the "best" team doesn't always win the Super Bowl. Get into the playoffs, and anything can happen. The Steelers in '05( 6 seed), and the Giants last year (5 seed) are good examples.

beast (14h) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.
Zero2Cool (15h) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander
Zero2Cool (15h) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.
dfosterf (15h) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc
dfosterf (15h) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up
Zero2Cool (15h) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me
Zero2Cool (15h) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷
Zero2Cool (15h) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before
dfosterf (16h) : Hats off to the Beast
dfosterf (16h) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season
beast (16h) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games
Zero2Cool (16h) : BTW, not serious.
Zero2Cool (17h) : You don't care about it either!!!!
Zero2Cool (17h) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.
Mucky Tundra (21h) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest
beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.
beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.
Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.
Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo
Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision
beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it
Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue
beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉
beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan
beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan
Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while
Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."
Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?
beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*
beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes
go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast
beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha
go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota
beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th
beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?
beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead
beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18
Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?
beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed
beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!
beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over
packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor
Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : Colts-Giants now a tight one
