Nelson continuing to make history!

Nelson has bounced back from a season-ending knee injury in 2015 to once again become the Packers’ leading receiver with 75 catches for 913 yards and 12 touchdowns.

It’s the third time in Nelson’s career he has at least 12 touchdown receptions in a season, joining Sterling Sharpe as the only two players in team history to do so.

Also, Nelson’s 41 receiving yards propelled him to 7,022 for his career, becoming just the fifth player in team history to eclipse 7,000 yards.

However, there may be no stat that better embodies his consistency than the fact he now has caught 57 touchdown passes from Aaron Rodgers, which ties Brett Favre and Antonio Freeman for the most productive touchdown combination in franchise history.

Ninety-nine receiving touchdowns is incredible, especially in that era. Was Hutson the only credible receiving threat on the team at that time?

I'm so glad that Jordy is finally starting to LOOK like Jordy! He's making big time catches, and seems to be back to form.
Having Davante Adams playing like a man on a mission helps Nelson as well. A team can't just double cover Nelson when you have Adams (and Cobb) to worry about.
Those 3 guys can make life a lot easier for the rest of the team if they can keep it up through the playoffs!😍

He led league in FGs made in '43 and xtra points '41, '42 and '45. In '43 he was a perfect 36 for 36 in xtra points.

Typically, back in the day, during the fantasy league drafts, the guy with first pick grabbed Hutson and didn't even waste his time to pick in subsequent rounds, ya know, because there were no bye weeks back then.

Those numbers makes me think. What would Lofton's numbers been like if he had played in todays NFL? Can you imagine having Rodgers or Favre throwing the ball to Lofton on one side and Jefferson on the other. I think back to Sterling and realize he was smaller than Monty is today yet Sterling was a prototypical WR then and Monty is a slot receiver today how would Sterling be used if he came into the league today.

Very glad to see Jordy being productive and love seeing him not being used just as a vertical threat or sideline receiver. In that role he probably has at least two good seasons left in him, with Adams getting closer to his potential. If they stay on pace we will end the season with 2 1100 yard WR which I prefer over a 1500&700yarders. Looking forward I'm not sure what I want to see. Monty joining the WR party for a 4 wide group of Jordy, adams, cobb and Monty. Or keep Monty in the backfield in a sproles type role.

Damn those tough choices.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

beast (12h) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (12h) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (17h) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (17h) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (18h) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (18h) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (18h) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (18h) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (22h) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (22h) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

wpr (7-Aug) : seems faster. yay

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Wife of reason posted on the in/out thread on fleaflicker that both she and vor are in

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : This page was generated in 0.135 seconds.

Mucky Tundra (7-Aug) : Tbh, I can never tell the difference in speed unless it's completely shitting the bed

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Sure does feel like site is more snappy

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Update: Rock has tried a cheese curd, promises it's not his last

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : watch it!! lol

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : you're right, we never did leave, the site just went down :P

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Rock claims to have never eaten a cheese curd

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : We did not leave.

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : More interesting is Washington with Terry McLaurin
