Playoffs, Playoffs. Did you guys watch the game yesterday? The Packers don't belong in the playoffs, so I really don't care what happens Sunday. There's no way this team beats Arizona or Carolina, so what does it really matter what happens the next two weeks? Another season with a winning record of beating the weak sisters.

Well, halfway through that drive I shook my head and said it wasn't good enough. Even if we would have bullshitted our way through the playoffs with favorable DPI calls and free play scores, I would have regarded that season as a failure.

But I was still cheering, hoping we'd somehow pull it all out of our asses despite ourselves.

If Packers beat Redskins and Vikings beat Seahawks, Packers would face Panthers. 😂

Unless our offense starts playing like the start of the season, we're not going to beat Arizona/Carolina, and even if we did, Seattle/Minnesota would have to win the other game before it would matter.

The team still has the talent to play with and beat any team in the league. But they need to change what they are doing, most importantly play calling in order to accomplish that. I think if they would come out and sit Rodgers under C, and run a traditional run game first where Lacy or Starks can get moving before getting the ball with the basically draws they run out of the short gun. Makes play action much more effective. Get Rodgers under C where he can run 1 and 3 step drops and throws helping the Oline in protection. Where roll outs are much more effective.

I don't have high hopes for them doing that, I think the defense can keep them in games for wins against maybe MN, or Wash, but I don't see them beating either AZ, CAR, or SEA.

The world is a crazy place. Momentum, opportunity, mathematical analysis, weather advantages, they are all in play, I realize that.

HOWEVER... I would never suggest starting a losing streak, to start a winning streak. Not in team sports. Not in the N.F.L.

In One on One sports... YES! It is a brilliant strategy.

We're an above average team who can't beat elite teams. Denver and Arizona clobbered us soundly and it took mistakes from Carolina for us to have even a chance at the end to tie it.

I don't know what it's going to take in the off-season for the offense to get it's 2014 groove back be it Jordy coming off IR or them signing or drafting some new talent, but they clearly don't have it this year. Even dating back to the 6-0 start you could see something wasn't right with the offense.

At the end of the day, we're in the playoffs regardless, but I'd rather see us win the division, win our WC game, and then if we go get clobbered against by Arizona or Carolina, so be it. Crazier things have happened. Were we supposed to go into Atlanta in 2010 and sufficiently thrash the #1 seeded Falcons that year? Let's beat the Queens and see where the chips fall. It's a whole new season once the playoffs start.

Slap 40 on MN in the first 1/2 and than rest some in the 2nd half.


Yes I've been drinking heavily.

wpr (10h) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
