Nate Palmer will start at ILB against the Seahawks Sunday night. The 6ft 2in and 248 lb. Palmer is in his 3rd season with the Packers following his being chosen in the 6th round of the 2013 draft from Illinois State. This is his best chance to shine at ILB. I hope that he will excel and provide GB with it's next Pro-bowler for many years to come. Let us All wish him good luck and success !

I hope he is the answer, cause Barrington is not a 3 down linebacker.

Sam Barrington

Nate Palmer
Height: 6'2"

I had thought Barrington was bigger of the two.

For better or worse, Palmer is the man.

I still can't get that image out of my mind of him getting through clean and then just bouncing off Roethlisberger, but I suppose that has happened to a lot of players. Barrington impressed me as an "effort" kind of guy; I HOPE Palmer plays with that kind of hustle too. The other thing is calling the defensive signals - apparently Barrington had become adequate at that. We better hope Palmer can keep things decent that way too. I think he will be all right if Matthews is the other ILB for most of the snaps.

Palmer's performance against Seattle, while not earth shattering, was without incident. In addition, as Seattle is considered by many to be a strong team, he has impressed me. Good luck Nate, keep up the good work. [thumbup]

He didn't look too bad out there. At least on limited evidence it looks like he has the potential to be adequate in coverage. He ran well with the backs and tight ends when asked to. Hopefully with some more time his awareness in coverage will improve. I was screaming like a mad man to turn around on the deep throw that bounced off his back and was almost picked by Ha Ha. He turns around and he's got an easy one himself.

Palmer did a nice job. He seems like a better all around LB. I wonder if Barrington got the start because of the Pack's desire to stop the run. Hopefully, as he gets reps with the ones he gets better and the game slows for him so he can make those plays(interceptions).

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

I'm personally just fine if the Palmer has zero awareness of the ball as long as it doesn't go into the hands of the one of the receivers... (and no PI calls as well).

But Palmer was in pretty good position there... plus if I remember correct Haha (who's watching the QB) still should of had that one right? After it bounced off...

beast (42m) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (47m) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (58m) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (58m) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (1h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (1h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (1h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (2h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (2h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (3h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (5h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (12h) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (13h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (19h) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (20h) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (21h) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky
