Green Bay — All week, one tight end will dominate the national conversation: Rob Gronkowski. He's the 6-foot-6, 265-pound problem for the Green Bay Packers.

At this point, we've got plenty of film on Quarless. We know what he can do, and what he can't do.

He's solid, but he's closer to Ed West than Keith Jackson.

I hope to turn the clock back to my twenties so I can get drunk, chase tail, and act like an ass. Well, I still act like an ass, but that other shit isn't happening. Hey Quarless, if you just catch the shit that hits you on the hands and then fall down without fumbling, that'd be great.

This is not as far-fetched as it seems. Quarless may not be as good as Gronkowski, but ...... 1. He's what I always said the Packers needed instead of Finley - He's a fairly dependable receiver, a more conventional TE who can get the short and medium yardage as needed, even if he isn't the deep threat Finley was and Gronkowski is. and 2. The Packers have better WRs than the Patriots. We should be able load up and stop Gronkowski with less emphasis on their wideouts. Quarless, on the other hand, will get a lot less attention because of Nelson and Cobb.

I'm not saying Quarless will do it, but I'm thinking for the Packers to win, one of the lesser guys is going to have to step up and play huge as Belichick is either going play cover 2 and make the running game beat them, or he's going to take away Nelson/Cobb and focus on getting pressure on the OL to pressure both Rodgers and Lacy in that way.

Cover 2 should open the middle/running game, but I think Belichick is going to do the other one and... Have Revis shut one of the WRs down one on one and double team the other. This should open all the lesser target guys.

So I'm think for the Packers to win one (or more) of the back-ups to step and have a big game.

[list]

WR Davante Adams

TE Andrew Quarless

TE Richard Rodgers

RB James Starks

WR Jarrett Boykin

TE Brandon Bostick

[/list]

This or the Lions games are the ones were we might need someone to step up before the playoffs. If Boykins or Bostick are going to step it up, for the playoff run this game might be the time to do it. Or anything saved for Adams, Quarless or Rodgers that the Patriots would have on tape.

Or heck maybe even anything saved for Janis on some deep balls.

I just hope we can compete with one of these teams without having to resort to some bullshit gimmickry.

Also I was thinking if they have anything planned/saved for Harris to try it against the Lions DL as it's tough to run against. So using him as a dump off guy or running to the outsides (instead of Lacy trying it). Basically like the Bears did early on with Forte but, we got Rodgers and more/other weapons as well.

Zero2Cool (15h) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (16h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.
