It's getting dusty in here. AJ Dillon's season-ending neck injury was a tough one for Packers fans to deal with. Putting aside the fact that he was in …

Look, i hope he makes a full recover and succeeds but;

"AJ Dillon's season-ending neck injury was a tough one for Packers fans to deal with"

Ahh no it wasnt. This was a blessing in disguise. AJ is no where near a starter or a back up. Hes too slow and for his size, gets taken down too easily. I wish him well but there is nothing tough about losing him to injury or even a trade.

More lazy writting by these writers.

There's a good chance this injury will lead to a settlement for Dillon. From a homer fans perspective this really stinks. Dillon falls into the category of a guy who loves playing Green Bay because of its atmosphere and low key nature, something that GB has struggled with other players over the years.

On Family Night on one of his carries, Dillon hit the line hard and totally failed to see a huge cutback lane. It was at that moment I knew he was done in GB.

*had a roommate that was a gym rat and hell bent on putting on as much muscle as possible on his five foot six frame. I thought Dillon fell into the same category.

That's called a difference of opinions, not lazy writing. And just because you have that opinion, doesn't mean others weren't shocked and disappointed losing the guy we thought was going to be the #2 RB going into the season, with the rookie draft pick being injured a lot.

hmmmm even with a groin injury, broken finger and finally the stinger that ultimately ended Dillons year, I just looked up his stats.
seems he averaged 3.5yds a carry, not 2yds, which is below his career avg., but considering he played most of the season injured, that is respectable.
I find it hard after going back and watching games like The 2nd Detroit game and The KC game, and others, where he was THE ONLY OPTION, and performed well in the running and passing game, that EVERYONE is glad to see he is not on the roster for 2024.
Of course I'm not going to speak for EVERYONE, because there are various opinions.

Funny how stats are looked at. Brandon Jacobs averaged 3.6yds per carry last year, yet he is considered a top 10 rb in the league. Top 5 by some.

I guess it's just how people want to see things.

I'll miss #28 being on the field this year, and if he did play his last down for The Packers, it will be a shame. There is more to the rb position than just carrying the ball, AJ was a COMPLETE ball player.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Zero2Cool (9h) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (10h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : 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) : 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.
