With the 213th overall selection, the Packers select TE Kennard Backman  in the 6th round of the 2015 NFL Draft.

You sure know your football. [rock] 🤣

I do agree with your point though and think bringing a veteran free agent would have been good. I believe there was three or four that were promising.

If he ignores this problem again, then he's just a stubborn jackass. Our offense needs a guy to open up the middle, that has the speed to punish a defense. People rip on Finley, but he opened things up for the other receivers and the running game. The whole story isn't told by individual stats of a player.

I think you read the topic I made about the benefits of a Tight End, thank you! 😂


I do hope a Tight End is acquired either trade, free agent or even trade. Mike McCarthy is very huge on tight end position so why not get get one to open things up?

I'm hoping the Packers invest a 2nd-4th round pick in a TE this coming draft. I think with the first and probably the second round picks they should target a DT and OLB with the probable departures of a few people in free agency. But after that they really need to bring in a capable project ala Finley in 2008 when we snagged him in the 3rd round. I still have faith in Richard Rodgers but most good offenses these days have two capable TE and the Packers definitely don't have the 2nd.

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.
Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.
Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies
Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol
