Well at least Ted Thompson gets a head start at scouting the top college players :)

(Trying to look at the bright side)

I've said what I had to say guys, I am not saying I'm right or that I hope that happens to the packers I would love the packers to make the playoffs but that's just my opinion probably not the correct or the same opinion as yours but I'm just sharing my opinion.

:( I wish we make playoffs but I think the vikings are going to beat out the cardinals and the giants 😞

I appreciate the optimism. I feel a lot less good about Thompson and McCarthy than I did coming into the season, though they deserve at least one more year to get this thing turned around. When Cullen Jenkins went down, the whole D-line crumbled like a house of cards. We need more depth there--a lot more. And I'm afraid that both of our OT's may be near the end of the line. Those are the biggest problems. And yes, we need a new defensive coordinator.

These problems are fixable. I still think this team, in spite of its mediocrity this year, is not far away from being a contender, as it was last year.

But to even think about a playoff birth at this point is useless.

The past month, I've been as optimistic as anyone about us getting into the playoffs, but I realize it's a tough road ahead. One loss puts us. One Viking win puts us out. Two Bears wins puts us out.

I'm not giving up until one of those things happens, but for all intents and purposes, this team isn't going to be playing in January.

There's good and bad to take from the season thus far. I don't feel like typing it all out, but lets say that if the team makes zero changes, I'll expect an 11-5 record next year.

And I don't think that's being too optimistic. I think it's very realistic. Once we get to the appropriate time - the off season - I'll write a very detailed post of exactly why that is.

For now, we're living on a prayer.

If I remember correctly McCarthy thought the defense was the best part of this team when he said bye bye favre. Incorrect! This defense is horrible including the secondary. The secondary is good but come on last year in the playoffs against the giants they got killed. They seem good cause most of the QB's played this year are of poor quality. Dallas, NO both good QB's and we got smoked.

Anyone can look good against Gus ferrotte and Kyle Orton. Funny thin about Gus though he can give the game to us but poor tackling in the secondary on AP's long run cost us the game.

The secondary is good, but they constantly are inconsistent and let the big play happen easily. Kevin Walter gets a crap throw of desperation for a TD should prove that exactly. Seems like that long ball in the air is always a 75-25 ball for the offense. Woodson last week should have stopped Steve Smith but nope big play.

The defense needs to show sure enthusiasm and play hard throughout the whole game, just like the Titans game but not crap out when it counts! McCarthy needs to start instilling some heart and discipline instead of laxing around the sidelines, he seems to show the least heart sometimes. Also his challenges are ridiculous!! He should continually waste a timeout on a kickoff if he is going to challenge plays where he knows he has no chance of winning them. That 2 pt play was obvious on TV.


BlaH....this team has not shown any heart.

Oh and rodgers, great season, but really under 2 min does he just go dumb? His decisions are horrible and it seems like they are throws where he is just giving up too.


done with my rant.

What did Rodgers do at the end of this game that was so bad? I believe it was a referee, not Rodgers, who called that bogus holding penalty on Moll, and I believe it was the O-line who allowed the jailbreak that led to a sack before Rodgers even had time to look downfield. He's made some mistakes at the ends of games, but I don't see any way to hang this one on him.

I don't think we can say either way about Rodgers. He's been inconsistent and its not even a full season under his belt even if he was consistent.

It takes a few seasons to earn a reputation. Him going numb I have to disagree with. I mean hell, then the guy is running away from people you can look into his eyes and see he's freaking calm as walking his damn dog! It's insane. Today I was thinking DUDE ATLEAST PRETEND TO BE SCARED WHEN SOMEONE NEARLY 300 POUNDS IS CHASING YOU DOWN!!

Fan Shout
Zero2Cool (2h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (6h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (6h) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (7h) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (7h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (7h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (7h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (7h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (7h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (8h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (8h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (8h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (8h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (8h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (8h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (8h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (10h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (10h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (10h) : 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?
