That's a weird stat but Aaron Jones is very good.

Yep back up RB Aaron Jones. McCarthy couldn't wait for Williams to show something so he could make him the starter and I like Williams but Jones is a lot better. McCarthy is weird about RBs he did the same with Montgomery/Shields for a bit last year, he has a preference and will stick with his guy no matter how much better another guy looks.

Yards gained after CLOSE? who made up that stat, Really. So with all the delay draws that this team runs, it means there is a good chance there is a defender within a yard of him at hand off.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I don't get that stat either but IMHO they are judging that AFTER he has crossed the line of scrimmage.

According to the article Mr. Koh posted at NFL.com , yards gained after close (YGAC) "is a stat that helps isolate individual elusiveness as it measures yards collected by a ball carrier after a defender closes to within one yard."

I can't even begin to imagine the amount of film watching that must go into amassing a statistic like that. Or is it all done by automated three-dimensional triangulation algorithms these days? There are enough cameras on the field to accomplish such an analysis, as we see when the networks show off their fancy 3D views, in which they use interpolative techniques to move individual players around within the image like chess pieces.

Mucky Tundra (1h) : @AaronNagler · 2m Both Jordan Love and Malik Willis were Limited participants at Packers practice today.

Zero2Cool (4h) : Johnson didn't make it until 2020. Ring 2023. 🤷 Personally, he should have been in years prior to Hall.

Zero2Cool (4h) : HUMP DAY

beast (4h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (4h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (4h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (4h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (4h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (4h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (4h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (4h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (5h) : S Xavier McKinney named first-team All-Pro by NFLPA

beast (6h) : I missed it, sorry, but he got into the NFL Hall of Fame years before that

Zero2Cool (7h) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (7h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (7h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (7h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (7h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (20h) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats beast on 2024 !

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats porky on winning 2023 pick'em! (oops sorry)

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : Packers have $60M+ of 2025 cap space on paper TODAY.

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Missed FG into a Lions TD; that'll do pig, that'll do

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : I'm rooting for the Lions to lose.

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : God help me but I'm rooting for the Vikings to...Vikings to...Christ I can't say it
