It's not like the Packers just went up against the salary cap to sign B.J. Raji. Packers are in pretty damn good cap situation here and also signed two of the biggest free agents in the NFL. Randall Cobb and Bryan Bulaga.

We have great passion, but lets not forget the Packers aren't selling the farm to bring Raji back lol

If true, I would welcome a healthy, motivated , and in shape Raji . It would take some of the pressure off at the NT position . ILB and CB will remain the great priorities .

Having read some of the post of some members in this forum, I'm glad that clearer heads appear to be (slowly) doing their jobs . Not that the off season administrative duties have been fulfilled .



Go Pack Go !

Removing the weak links and re-signing core players is precisely what I think a good administrative ought to do.

Having a motivated and dominant Nose tackle will go a long way in freeing up Linebackers to make plays as well. Hopefully Raji and be that for us this season!

And he sure as hell better show up and make the most of it.

And I think the change was primary because

1) It's a passing league and teams normally want to pass more than run, so attack what they're going to do more of, makes common sense if you have the players to do so.

2) The Packers were stuffing the run, the Packers offense would put up huge amount of points and the other team would say screw the run, WE NEED POINTS... and go to an all out passing attack trying to play catch-up and the Packers didn't have the penetrators to keep up with that, which between that and Mike McCarthy getting conservative with playing calling with a lead would give the other team a chance back into the game.


So the penetrating style give the Packers an edge if they're playing with the good lead (assuming the other team isn't trying to run their way back into the game), and with Rodgers on their side, normally they have the lead.

Dom could control the scheme, but couldn't control the players sucking.

I'm interested in this "crazy weight" thing. "Good" weight or "bad" weight?

I, of course, have been as much or more against Raji than anybody else. However, what I read about him showing some dedication to improvement in the off-season, etc., along with the fairly low dollar amount, along with the Guion question marks, all make me ........ let's just say less negative about the deal.

I hope he plays decent.

The worst thing would be if he went somewhere else and did well.

For your sake I hope Gordon goes early. Just not to the cowboys or to the vikings if they pull off a trade with the cowboys for AP

Although for Melvin Gordon's sake, I'm hoping he lands with a team like the Colts.


This would be a good signing and one that doesn't really hurt the Packers. It's not as if they are up against the cap and tossing money around.

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

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*
beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

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?
