A roundup of what's happening on the Green Bay Packers beat.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Packers coach Mike McCarthy said the tackling problem from Week 1 would be fixed and sure enough, it was practically a non-issue in Sunday's win over the New York Jets.

After missing 18 tackles in the season-opening loss at the Seattle Seahawks, the Packers missed just three in Week 2, according to ProFootballFocus.com. What looked like the worst tackling team in the league one week was one of the best the next.

I enjoy Rob's insight most of the time. I have a little bit of a problem with this story. It takes more than 1 game to label a team, "the worst tackling team in the league" to "one of the best" the next week.

GB has had a lot of issues with their tackling for a few years so to say the are one of the worst in the league just might be true. Simply because they do a better job the following week doesn't mean they are really better.

Zero2Cool (28m) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (1h) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (1h) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (5h) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (9h) : 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 (9h) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (17h) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (17h) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (19h) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (21h) : 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

beast (29-Dec) : Still early, but Giants 14 to 3 over Colts

beast (29-Dec) : With Broncos losing to the Bengals, Colts got to control their destiny for the 7th seed... looks like they're about to give it up

Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : I believe Pickett is starting for Philly

beast (29-Dec) : Is the Eagles QB Hurts playing? I forgot to check

Zero2Cool (29-Dec) : Watson unlikely to play today.

Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : Good job gpg!

go.pack.go. (29-Dec) : I figured out the signature thing. I had to find a different hosting website

Zero2Cool (28-Dec) : Packers elevated S Omar Brown.

go.pack.go. (28-Dec) : I tried the [img][/img] but that didn’t work

go.pack.go. (28-Dec) : How do I upload a picture to change my signature? I haven’t done it in years lol. I have the picture but can’t get it to work
