Depth usually looks pretty good in August, though. Crunch time will be October and November.

Agreed.. but I don't see a Taco Wallace on the roster this season. ;)

It's too bad Shields isn't catching the returns cleanly. KR/PR is for me one of the most underrated positions in the game. It can be the wild card of games, winning some games we should have lost.

I'm weary of Blackmon being 100% because of his injury. If so, great, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Shields' speed would have been nice.

Good news though that Shields has been a pleasant surprise. You can never have too many CBs, as we learned the hard way last year.

I agree man, it seems shields is extremely impressive when he gets the ball in hands, it really is too bad he cant field the punts and kicks cleanly because from the sound of things he'd be our best returner.

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

Really hoping this kid can fine tune his game all around. Once and IF that happens, MAJOR STEAL.

Hopefully we can finally get rid of Bush if Shields handles his business.

Too bad he can't handle kicks cleanly, sounds like otherwise he'd be a good option.

^ What I'm hoping for is he learns to field the ball better so he can at least make the roster on Special Teams. then they can continue to groom him at the CB spot.

We NEED a big time returner. If the kid can just hang onto the ball. Muffing a punt can kill you.

I always thought he would make a better gunner than returner. He doesn't have great confidence in his hands. If you don't, you try too hard instead of concentrating on the ball and letting your hands do the work. You can tell by the way he catches it off his chest. He has to practice catching it with his hands and building his confidence.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

No use having a speedy guy that'll get you an extra 5-10 yards if he'll muff 1/10 or even 1/20 punts. I'd rather we just fair-catch everything if that's what it takes to keep the football. I have enough confidence in our offense to overcome bad field position, not anywhere near that much confidence in our special teams.

Even if Will Blackmon came back 100% he still was never that good of a kick returner. It would be nice if we could have someone step up in that area and Shields has the speed for it but his return last night wasn't very impressive. I am hoping they can at least give him another shot on kick returns but I won't care if he is done for good trying punts.

packerfanoutwest (33m) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (2h) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (12h) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (12h) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (12h) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (16h) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (16h) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (16h) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (18h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (18h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (18h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (18h) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (19h) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (19h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (19h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (19h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (20h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (20h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (20h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (20h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (20h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (21h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (21h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (21h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (21h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (22h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (22h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (22h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (22h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
