I'm actually hoping Ryan and Turner are alright. I'd much rather earn the WC spot instead of slide into it because the other team is so beaten up.

Heh. The irony that da Bears have a shot at being spoilers for us. Kind of worried it may be a trap game. Lovie Smith hates us and will do everything in his power to win that game.

There is no such thing as 'sliding into the playoffs'.

At the end of the season the playoff teams are the playoff teams.

From then its a new season and each team has a shot - any given sunday.

And anyway, I'd rather 'slide in' than not be there at all and let another team 'slide in' instead of us.

I know British. I'm just saying, I'd rather both of them being 100%, then beating them.

I don't care if they lose their whole starting lineup. It won't make me feel any different about the Packers making the playoffs if they do.

We lost 2 of our better players on a defense that we just implemented this year and replaced them with Jarrett Bush and a rookie 7th rounder. I have no sympathy for another teams injuries.

Agreed.... A couple things I was hoping for this season was to sweep the Bears and beat the Cowboys. The other was to make the playoffs. I didn't dare think any further ahead than that. The Cowboys goal has happened and now the Bears sweep is next. I don't care if they have none of their starters playing either.

Once we get into the playoffs it's going to get a lot tougher. The way the team is coming together right now gives me hope we can go 11-5 and be a strong contender in the post season. I just wish Al and Kamp were still playing. I would feel a lot more confident.

Yes, especially considering if we make it to the Championship Game, we'd most likely be facing Favre or Brees. Both are elite QBs and both will attempt to exploit our 3rd CB.

We could also use Kampy on the DL, which I'm sure Capers would have done more as in the last few games Kampy played, I remember him lining up on the line every once in awhile.

here is a cute link NFL.com had - if the season ended today

That link was made obsolete by the Monday Night game.

With the Patriots Loss, San Diego moved ahead of the Bengals for 2nd place. It changed back and forth as game were completed Sunday.

The Chargers and Bengals are tied in record, Conference Record, Strength of Victory. Strength of Schedule is now the difference .463 for the Chargers and .430 for the Bengals. A Packer win against the Bucanneers would have helped the Bengals......

Key games for playoff positioning next week other than Ravens at Lambeau, are Cowboys at Giants, Eagles at Falcons, Texans at Jaguars.

That's one scary thought.

If we slip in with the nr. 5 spot and win in the wild card round, we'll most likely see the Vikings in the divisional round. Or if we get in with the 6th seed, we'll have to go up against the Saints.

And if we where to win that game, we'd most likely face the Saints or Vikings in the Championship game, like you said, only to go to the SB and most likely meet another scary QB in Phillip Rivers, Peyton Manning or maybe even Carson Palmer.

We better start shutting down some QBs in that case, lol. At least Bell should be able to help us a little.

Getting into the playoffs is the first big step, once The Packers are there then it becomes a whole different ballgame.

No one knows what will happen when it comes to the playoffs, but the experience alone for this team in invaluable for the future.

Remember it took Holmgrem 5 years before he got the team to The Superbowl.

Add Kurt Warner to that list of elite QBs we might be facing in the CG. I don't think it's an argument any more that Warner will go into the Hall of Fame.

Zero2Cool (1h) : It's better to have $17m to use on players who will be on the field. That's why trade/release is talked

Zero2Cool (1h) : post june is $7m cap hit with $17m saving

Zero2Cool (1h) : oops meant $10m cap hit

Zero2Cool (1h) : And pre june is $10m savings

Zero2Cool (1h) : Can't make him play.

dhazer (1h) : I am curious why the big need to release Jaire, we have 29 million cap space we arent spending and would only gain $6 million/ make him play

Zero2Cool (2h) : Joey Bosa signed with Bills?

dfosterf (3h) : What they are offering is a left over case of Leinies from the Chippewa Falls plant

Zero2Cool (3h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 gets you Jaire and our 3rd

Zero2Cool (3h) : they give us those five, or even first four, they can have Jaire.

Zero2Cool (3h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 and 136 are only ones worth having of theirs.

dfosterf (3h) : What they don't have is cap space, at least presently at 5.6 mil

dfosterf (3h) : Poor bastards only have 11

Zero2Cool (3h) : Ravens ain't got crap for picks.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Aaron Rodgers is choosing between Steelers and Giants. The Vikings are officially out on him, per RapSheet

dfosterf (3h) : Current cap space 29.6 million.

dfosterf (4h) : Hobbs 2025 cap hit just under 6 million. Banks 2025 cap hit just over 9 million

Mucky Tundra (10h) : beast, this is news to me! Tell me more about these, "draft picks." They seem mighty mysterious! 😉

beast (12h) : Yes, the Ravens have draft picks

dfosterf (13h) : Good luck to him.

Zero2Cool (14h) : Eric Stokes signs with Raiders

Martha Careful (15h) : Tyler Linderbaum C

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Cap space?

Zero2Cool (16h) : Do Ravens have anything we'd even entertain to have?

Mucky Tundra (18h) : I've seen trade ideas of Jaire going to the Ravens all offseason

beast (19h) : A probably false rumor is suggesting CB Jaire Alexander is being traded to the Ravens, again probably false

beast (19h) : Commanders might have a dominant offense the next 3 years at least

Zero2Cool (21h) : San Francisco 49ers announced they have released DL Leonard Floyd.

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Er getting traded twice like that

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Huh, LT Laremy Tunsil traded from Houston to Washington. Never heard of a top OT getting traded in his career like that

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Minnesota Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. is returning on a three-year, $66 million deal

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : Damn

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Saints are re-signing DE Chase Young to a three-year, $51 million deal worth up to $57 million.

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : 49ers releasing FB Juszcyk any interest?

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : digits of four

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : four digits

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Eh, don't think so. better to split

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : on new site, would Fan Shout and GameDay Chat show same messages?

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : The Hall of Fame stuff probably came from a scout as Zero said; at this point though it's hard to see them moving ZT from RT

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : Regarding ZT at C, Gute had said he felt C was ZTs best position after he was drafted.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : LB Oren Burks to sign a 2-year, $5M deal with the Bengals.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Based on how it was worded at the time, probably scout.

beast (10-Mar) : I don't think the media person ever told the public the source, but Gute or LaFleur did say they thought Tom has earned his spot at OT

beast (10-Mar) : I think it was supposedly unnamed Packers source

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Was that Gute or Lefleur or someone else?

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Zach Tom could be a really good guard, an all pro tackle, but probably be a HOF Center. Who said that?

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : It's March 10th. I don't think anything is done.

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : if we think CB is done, we have a poor roster

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : CB and OG in FA, narrows down the top of the draft board a little

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : Meh....I hope we can get Ward 49ers or Murphy Vikings
