It sounds nice for McCarthy to say that this is a defensive team, but he and you and I all know that the offense is better than the defense. So if given a choice, I think they should take the ball to start the game. I wouldn't be surprised if he elected to kick off, though, just to send a message to the defense that he has confidence in them. It really doesn't matter much.

I always like getting the ball at half. The team has all the nervousness out. A nervous defense is better then a nervous offense at the beginning.

I always hear McCarthy talk about ball control, setting the tempo offensively and keeping the defense off the field to keep them fresh. I don't know if he just said that because their defense was not as good last year but, I would agree with what he said for the most part, and since they do have a good offense I would elect receive.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I would want the wind in the 4th quarter, if there is one. Otherwise, I would tend to defer. Does any one know exactly how the rule is stated?

Weather is my 1st criteria. If it doesn't matter then let the offense put some points on the board.

Good point. I always like the idea of receiving in the second half. The offense will have settled down at that point and in reality you could still run 'scripted' plays like McCarthy does for the first offensive series.

Are McCarthy's scripted plays generally successful? it's hard to tell. I thought it was one of the main problems with McCarthy and why he was claimed to be too conservative.

I always like kicking off first as the choice.

It seems to me more often than not the team that kicks off the first half end up with the last possession in the 2nd quarter.

If you can score a TD then, receive the opening kickoff to the second half and score a TD on that drive as well it's 14 unanswered points which can be a game changer.

Kicking would seem to be the right thing to do. But usually I'll always receive on Madden or whatever.

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?
