I may have been wrong on Williams. Hard to believe he's doing so well especially given how awful our passing game has been. Tampa is dreadful on D but knowing we can't throw it downfield makes what he's doing incredible.

Would like to see what Williams can accomplish with 12 back in the saddle.

At the very least, it's not another gaping hole going into 2018. We did a nice job finding talent in the middle of the draft. Can't get over what Kamara would've done for us but we have the great Montravius Adams so it's a wash. :)

Curious to see what happens now that Jones went one for the game winner. What's the split?

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."

And surprising to some, Josh Jones is among the Packers top 6 in snap count so far this season. So they'd probably be worse without him.

I still think Aaron Jones is even better. I suspect Mays can play too.

But based on his college tape, I think once Mays get comfortable he can make some stuff happen as well, at least if he gets room to get started... in his college tapes it looked like when he had room to get his speed up he could have both speed and power, but if he didn't have room to get his speed up, he had neither speed nor power... but first needs to hold onto the ball.

Also with the way Williams and Jones are playing, Mays might not get another chance this year, until they blow someone out and have some mop up duty (and probably not even then).

Yeah this Williams looks a LOT different than the Williams we saw early in the year. Anyone hear what has changed?... I've heard the rumor he was playing hurt earlier in the year but I haven't seen that confirmed anywhere. Maybe just got more comfortable in the system is also a possibility.

I was almost swearing the Packers were going to take Kamara with their 2nd round pick, but they took Josh Jones and 6 picks later Kamara got picked up... so it would be between the two of them.

This usually means he was thinking too much. Now he's playing faster.

And w/ RBs like Franklin, Jones and Williams, plus the later round/UDFA good RBs on other teams I would not draft a RB before late 4 unless I got at least a full rounds of value, preferably 2.

The way the rookie RB's are running it makes me wonder if our running OL blocking is better than I gave credit for.

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Geeze Zero get it right!😋

Zero2Cool (6h) : I guess 3 games. Whatever

Zero2Cool (6h) : Bleh, that only impacts two games.

Zero2Cool (6h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.

Mucky Tundra (7h) : Kanata, seek help! lol

beast (9h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (10h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (10h) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (10h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (10h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (10h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (10h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (11h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (11h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (12h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (14h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (21h) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (22h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
