Longwell wanted to kick indoors. So he left. What can you do?

How can you take Crosby over Longwell?

That's a very fair assessment.

80% vs. a 92.3% not to mention the kick crosby just missed

But the point makes no sense at all. Do any of you actually ever look up anything? Or listen to anyone? Or maybe, maybe shut up when you don't know a thing about a subject?

Like Cheesey said, he wanted to kick indoors. Next to that, Crosby was just in college when Longwell left.

The Packers weren't ready to play the game. The penalty by Jolly that allowed the Vikings to score their first TD was the pivotal play. The Packers never recovered from it. Very disappointing.

The OL did play better in the second half, but they still broke down when the game was on the line. And when Rodgers had time, the receivers had trouble getting open. They never got open deep, not even once, against a supposedly weak Vikings secondary.

Dom Capers lost all respect when he called a three-man rush on 3rd and 17 and Favre easily completed a pass for a first down. Later, he did put more pressure on Favre, and our guys still couldn't get to him. Zero sacks. Again.

I knew the Vikings were the better team coming into this game, but I thought the Packers could find a way to win. What I didn't count on was that the Vikings are quite a bit better than the Packers right now. Michael Strahan said it best at halftime: The Vikings know what to expect from themselves, and the Packers look like a team that just isn't there yet. Now they will have to scramble just to get into the playoffs.

I agree on the 3rd and 17 play. How often do you need to get exploited on a 3-man rush with everyone else in coverage before you figure out that it doesn't work? It's an ongoing sequince in his entire career. Started again a couple of games ago. Bring more guys. Get the ball out and let him settle for a short completion.

That said, we played decently later on. It was just horrible early on. On both sides of the ball.

I think the opposite may be true - the Packers were too excited to play, and were not as disciplined as they should have been.

Can't blame them for being so excited, it was a playoff atmosphere. But the coaches have to be able to settle guys down.

Unfortunately, I don't have much faith these days in our coaches to be able to do much of anything right.

Rodgers came out looking to throw downfield every play. I place the blame for that squarely on McCarthy.

These two games against the Vikings gave our team some playoff-like hyped games for experience.

I see the distinction you are making, but for me, that still fits into the category of not being ready to play the game. The Vikings just look so much more confident and professional right now. They have a lot of talent and they know it. The Packers seem to go from cocky to angry to despondent, sometimes from one play to the next.

wpr (17-Apr) : 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.
