I predicted that the Pack would only win 2 more games(Bears and Browns). Maybe Tampa? So what surprises are ahead for the team. Williams?

Not Williams... the last time I was this unimpressed by a Packers back was Brandon Jackson.

Aaron Jones was all the rage but he just flamed out faster than he came out of nowhere. I love that guy but he looks to be a flash in the pan for now. With the way we handle RB's we may never ever hear from him again.

Devante Mays is going to be fun to watch...people may forget all about Aaron Jones if he shows well on Sunday.

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."

If McCarthy would run the damn ball we might be able to figure out the rb situation one day

He wasn't fancy, but when The Packers needed a tough 2 or 3 yds he got them.

You have to go back many years to find someone who had 20+ carries in a single half.

The only people hurting now are those of us who have The Packers Wr' s in our FFL lineups.
😁😁
Davante Mays up next, can't wait to see how much action he sees this week.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

There is no guarantee that losing will ensure change. There is no guarantee that winning will not lead to changes.

I hate losing. I hate any team/anyone I love losing. I will never be happy with a Packer loss. I can be less upset under the circumstances with Hundley at QB, but it still leaves me not in a very good mood.

Some variable has to change. I hate losing but if that losing brings change it's more than worth it. Hundley may just do enough to prevent anything from changing. Only people who could possibly be happy with no change are those who aren't that interested in SB wins.

What is ideal is having the right people at the top that will do what needs to be done in the relentless pursuit of SBs but that's the issue. Wrong people at the top and those won't change so nothing will. I'm talking about Mark Murphy. I fault him as much as anyone. That guy is not a winner. Very unfortunate to have him succeed Harlan.

I still agree with Kanata that I don't like it when the Packers lose. I don't get nearly as upset as I used to but I go into every game hoping they win. Even if it comes down to that last meaningless game of the year when we are out of the playoff hunt and a win means we pick three spots lower in the draft and makes it more likely that Ted and Mike and Dom are kept around for another year I will still root for a win. I may not be as upset with a loss in that case but I will still root for the win.

Here's good news...12 took snaps from a trainer in practice today. He was working on cardio and range of motion.

Zero2Cool (15h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (19h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (19h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (20h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (20h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (20h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (20h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (20h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (20h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (20h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (20h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (20h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (21h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (21h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (21h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (21h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (22h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (23h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (23h) : 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.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
