Wisconsin Badgers game · PACKERSHOME

Watching the game today, one thing I noticed, the Badger QB, Mertz, throws a very slow ball. Many times he could have had a completion if he could throw the ball with some ZIP. It’s so slow, the DBs have time to make up space.
The WRs get open for the split second, and by the time the ball gets there, the DB is there.

And the Badger defense is getting burned to a crisp all second half.

The Badgers should have won this game. Mertz is awful as a QB.
I can’t see them winning many games with him as QB. INTs and fumbles, you won’t win many games.
And like I stated before, guys get open and the ball should be there. But by the time Mertz throws the ball, the DB makes it back.

I didn't catch the game. Generally speaking, I thought we loved Mertz? One game into this season and we hate him now? Can I like him? Can I give him a few games or must I pitch fork him immediately? I read Badgers should have won the game a few different times but Mertz blew it. And how the hell did the kid rush like 6 times for -29 yards? Probably pitch fork time, am I right??

Coen Looked pretty damn good last night for Notre Dame. He didn’t need five or six games to get going

All I did was state the FACT that he looked/played awful.
So now no one can criticize how a player played, and you want to ride a member out on a rail for daring to point out the facts?
Of course I hope he improves. Really, I don’t think he could play much worse.
The fumbles, the interceptions, and all was just plain bad. And that was all on him.
I’m sorry if that upsets you, Zero.
I DID watch the game. So my review of it is what I saw. I wish he didn’t look that bad.
And some of the passes he did complete were great plays by the WRs. Not because he was on target with the throw.
Before you criticize me, maybe you should actually watch the game to see if my thoughts on his play were out of line or over the top.
Of course it was my OPINION of how he played.
I don’t hate the guy. Just saying what I saw. If he looked awesome, I would have said that.

My comment was in reference to the summation of what I've heard on the radio and read on the tweeter far more than the few quips I've read on this website.

You posted it after what I said. You blame me for thinking your comment was directed towards me?
This place is getting weird.
You used to take the time to say “this isn’t directed towards you, Alan, just a general statement”.
You didn’t say anything like that this time.
I guess I’ll give myself a “time out”.
Look back at your post. You said “and now WE hate him?”
WE?
Now can YOU see why I thought you were commenting on what I said?

No, I cannot see why you ran to that assumption and instead of asking for clarification instead teed off on me. I don't understand that. I don't feel it's necessary to get defensive. If I am responding TO someone, I QUOTE them in my post. That's the purpose of the quote feature. At least, that is how I understand the purpose of it. Thankfully we have Green Bay Packers football coming up in less than a week! GO PACK GO!!!

Ok. Sorry. Didn’t mean to hurt you.
It won’t happen again.
I hope we enjoy the season.
Maybe I’ll pop in a couple times to see how it’s going.

wpr (9h) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : 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.
