The more I think about this, the more I like it. Bennett was a better blocker but wasn't going to get open like Jimmy can. We just need a sure-fire guy to complement Davante with suddeness, height, and power, and we'll finally be able to beat these teams we haven't been able to beat in the last 8 years.

Loyalty and tributes have their place at banquets and parades, but to win in the NFL that must be set aside in favor of fielding the best team that one can. Releasing Jordy Nelson was the correct thing for BG to do. CBs were finding it increasingly less of a task to to defend him in spite of his above average route running skills. He has gone to play for the Raiders and I wish him well as GB is not scheduled to play them this year.

Next, GB saved $10 + million that enabled BG to sign TE Jimmy Graham and improve the team. After all improving the team is the #1 job of any GM. and IMO, BG is doing just that.

I still have, and always will have, unending respect for Bart Starr and Ray Nitschke and Randy White and many others that played for the Packers. Yet time and death await us all and sometimes we just have to put on our big boy pants and move forward in the best interest of "The Team".

You're making excuses for one side that in reality work for both sides. Packers are a business, BUT so are individual contractors, such as players. It's all business so that excuse doesn't work.

Nelson got paid well, but the Packers also got some damn good results from him too, so again that again is a wash. And when Nelson signed that contract many were surprised it was so low... claiming Nelson clearly left money on the table as WRs of his talents were getting a good bit more elsewhere.

We are Packers fans and we do love our team. But that doesn't mean we can't love our players as well. Nor does it mean our team is always right.

If the Packers asked Nelson to reduce his salary to 50% he probably would... but less than 20%... when he probably would be a starter? I don't think there is a single person that would do that...

(Tom Brady doesn't count as he was the very poor one in his marriage)

Listened to the interview at work. It's clear the Packers wanted to go in another direction. It wasn't just about the $$$

beast (1h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (1h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (11h) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (11h) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (13h) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (14h) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (14h) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (15h) : Thank you

wpr (15h) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (15h) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (15h) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (15h) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (15h) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (16h) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (16h) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (16h) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (16h) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (16h) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21-Jan) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Ben going to Bears. He'll be out in 3 years.

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : what's so funny?

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
