Cullen Jenkins was not coming back. (we have had this discussion numerous times too lol) And we all know the real problem in the Packers defense was from Nick Collins absence, not Cullen Jenkins. I can't believe anyone (not implying anyone specific) could reasonably think differently.

steveishere is right...we have no middle class. Top heavy and not the results you need from your highest paid. We have to subsist on UDFA's because of the top heaviness and like he said...an injury to a top guy is exponentially damaging.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Not reinforcing Nick Collins' neck with titanium. I do agree with Zero. The Collins injury created a huge problem for this team.

Taking so long to draft replacements(or FA) for Nick and a suitable person at ILB as well as addressing the TE problem. I know many on this board wanted Eric Kendricks. Not only does it suck not to have him, but the F'n Vikings got him.

I do think we should have cut Peppers last year. He got some sacks, but man that seemed like a huge waste of $$$.

I also think we are going to be late moving on from Clay. He makes too much money and just does not seem to have it at OLB (I really like him inside, but he doesn't want to play there and we can't pay that type money for ILB). I am not sure what his trade value is if any with his price tag/cap hit.

Hands down injuries have cost this team more than all other factors combined. The same people who had Lacy this year and Monty last year plY thru their injuries, only to have them become season ending, have turned what could have been a dynasty into a Fart in the Wind.

Is it any wonder why these guys would rather go to a Yoga studio in De Pere? It's all about credibility man. Tony Horton has more of that than these trainers do.

If athletes did NOT do this, we should be worried. The fact that they are getting additional outside assistance is a GOOD thing, it is NOT something to fucking condemn the Packers for!

I remember hearing an interview with James Harrison. I believe he stated that he spends about $350K/year on body treatment. Things you do to keep yourself in the game.

Letting Hayward go was absolutely a mistake, even if most of us agreed with it at the time. A full season has passed, so it's perfectly fair to look at that situation in hindsight. Who cares what us fans thought or think of the situation. Thompson is paid big money to know much more than us. He put too much faith in Randall, Rollins, and a concussion-prone Shields, and Hayward didn't get a huge contact anyway. Thompson had to know that Shields was one concussion away from never playing again. Even if Randall and Rollins player better, that's still not enough depth. Can't let young, talented, and reasonably affordable players get away, especially at a premium position. He simply put way too much faith in a concussion-proned player and two sophomore players that frankly had very up and down rookie seasons to begin with.

Letting Hayward go was a big mistake. No other way to put it.

Fan Shout
TheKanataThrilla (26m) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it
Mucky Tundra (28m) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (31m) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (1h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (1h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (1h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB
Mucky Tundra (1h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?
Zero2Cool (1h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting
TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings
TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Great throw by Hurts
Mucky Tundra (1h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)
Mucky Tundra (1h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez
Mucky Tundra (1h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
Mucky Tundra (1h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
beast (1h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (1h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (1h) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (1h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (1h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (1h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (1h) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (1h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (1h) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (1h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (1h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (2h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (2h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (2h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (2h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (2h) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (2h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
Mucky Tundra (2h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire
Martha Careful (2h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs
Mucky Tundra (2h) : this game is over
Mucky Tundra (2h) : This might be the kill shot here
Mucky Tundra (2h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop
TheKanataThrilla (2h) : Philly DL has come to play
TheKanataThrilla (2h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night
Mucky Tundra (2h) : ok scratch that
Mucky Tundra (2h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it
TheKanataThrilla (2h) : KC jumped and they call it on Eagles. WTF refs
TheKanataThrilla (3h) : If he was offside why did you let him pop the QB?
TheKanataThrilla (3h) : I like that Eagles are controlling time of possession so far.
Mucky Tundra (3h) : If the Eagles are going to win, this is how they do it: jump all over the Chiefs and don't let it turn into a close one
TheKanataThrilla (3h) : Bad throw created that penalty.
TheKanataThrilla (3h) : Amazed Philly got that hit to the helmet call.
packerfanoutwest (3h) : refs just called an OPI,,,bullshit
dhazer (4h) : final score Chefs 24 Eagles 21 Refs 3
Mucky Tundra (6h) : feels like it hurts everyone but starters
