Eddie Lacy and Christine Michael as the one-two with Ty Montgomery being the 3rd down back and filling in when the other two are injured.

Now you know, now make it happen.

A healthy, in shape Eddie Lacy I still feel is a great asset to have so I'd prefer that hypothetical.

Who cares, we don't really incorporate running into our offense. It's not actually part of the game plan. We just run here and there for a change of pace if the passing game stalls or if we have good success with a few runs early. Any significant investment in a RB would probably be a waste

If we are going for it, I'd rather have lacy, Michael and Monty if we need him. We will also be getting some back from IR. the question is, how much is Lacy going to cost and if we sign him how much does that limit our ability to improve the defense.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

We try a few runs early and if they don't work great we are pretty much done running most of the game. It's not like i'm saying our offense always sucks because of it because most of the time the offense is good it's just that running the ball really is not a big part of McCarthy's offense.

and calling Starks the top back up is kind of inaccurate considering how badly he sucked he would have been our #3 at the end of the year even if he was fully healthy. Also McCarthy confirmed throughout the season and today that Montgomery is a RB so the WR-RB thing just doesn't fly, dude's a RB.

BTW, Packers even traded for a RB they were so decimated at the position, but hey, again, do not LET FACTS get in the way of that label train! Choo-Choooooooooo!

PS, probably hard to run the ball with a bunch of 4th (at best) string RB's when your defense is giving up 24.2 points a game. But hey, forget facts!!

(on serious note, we could have Barry Sanders and I bet he'd only get 12-15 carries a damn game)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

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

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

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"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

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

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

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

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.
