  1. I thought you guys were so angry after watching the NFCCG from last year and weren't going to let it happen again. Great freaking job defense.
  2. Chandon Sullivan sucks. This 3rd down defense isn't going to get the job done.
  3. It could be the Packers against the local high school team and I'd still be nervous. Hard not to be when the stakes are this high.
  4. https://wisportsheroics.com/brewers-rumored-to-be-targeting-marcell-ozuna/ Brewers rumored to be interested in Marcell Ozuna.
  5. Ersan barely played in the bubble last year and played a total of 0 meaningful minutes in the playoffs. He isn't missed at all. Ersan didn't play much down the stretch because we acquired Marvin Williams, who also isn't here.. Regardless, how much he played in the playoffs isn't relevant to determining whether he's missed as we were not successful in the playoffs. Ersan was not a bad guy to have on your bench. He was a useful niche player who was among the best in the game at taking a charge and could knock down 3s.
  6. We've made a lot of moves to get better, it's just hard and takes a lot of squinting to see how we're actually better. Holiday is a nice player ...I'm just not sure he moves the needle from Bledsoe in any real measurable way like we thought he would, at least not for what we gave up. Especially not when you consider the loss of George Hill. He was a really important glue guy and he's missed. Ersan is missed. I think the bench was a really important part of our regular season success and frankly, we just don't have a very good one anymore. We're honestly probably fortunate that the Bogdanovic deal fell through. You'd hope that that weakness won't matter as much once the playoffs roll around and we have to lean on our starters more, but I don't know. Everyone around us in the East has closed the gap.
  7. I'm always open to listening on any player but I'm absolutely pricing him to any interested party as a young, controllable ace. It isn't like he had a smoke and mirrors type breakout. We always knew he had the stuff and potential to be this guy.
  8. Seems to me that you're differentiating best move from shrewdest move. If we are talking which move had the most positive impact on our franchise, it's obviously Rodgers hands down (Woodson was a great move, no doubt). Was Rodgers a "lucky" move too? Sure, but there were still 23 other GMs who chose not to make that move, and Ted did. And I don't think it was the slam dunk obvious pick at the time now that we see it as in retrospect. I think there were a lot of people upset at the time that we didn't use that pick to build immediately around Favre for the last few years of his career and instead took a future pick.
  9. I mean we have Jones and Williams and Dillon ..I don't see a need for Ingram. Not many extra snaps to go around as it is. I think at some point we're good with what got us here. I'd hate to see us disrupt the locker room too much by releasing guys at this point who were along for the ride the whole way.
  10. In addition, from what I understand(disclaimer: not an expert at all), vaccinating against variants where current vaccinations have shown to be ineffective isn't typically like starting from scratch against a brand new virus; but rather just tweaking existing vaccinations.
  11. You don't think that Brady leaving New England, and landing in the Super Bowl in his first year in Tampa, without Belichek is compelling to the sports world? How many fans were around when Super Bowl I took place? The only reference to that game for most is media coverage and the history books. Everyone who is currently an NFL fan knows Tom Brady and his accomplishments. Having him leave the team he won numerous Super Bowls with, then go to the Super Bowl with another team the very next season, is monumentous sports coverage fodder. It will be covered relentlessly on the National Media, where as a Super Bowl I rematch will get a mention, but won't be as important or interesting nationally. I realize you are all Packer fans, and there is nothing more important than the Packers in WI, but if anyone questions the interest level nationally of Brady back in the super bowl without the Pats and Bill B. over the rematch of Super Bowl I which took place 53 years ago, I think maybe the homerism has been taken too far. I think it's homerism to think that the vast majority of fans nationally aren't sick of Brady and have no desire to see him in another Super Bowl.
  12. Wait til Springer finds out Toronto's offer was in Canadian dollars.
  13. I think most of us would take King back on a low figure. That won't be an option, however.
  14. I'm pretty confident that we'll win. With that said, I think Tampa is probably pretty confident that they'll win as well.
  15. I don't know about anyone else, but I like Bruce Arians less and less every time I hear him talk. He just comes across as both arrogant and petty. First off after the playoff win against Washington, he's asked about Winfield and he uses the opportunity to put down Chase Young and talk about how he hasn't done nearly as much as Winfield to be Rookie of the Year. He wasn't even asked about Young. Really dude? You can't just praise your guy and move on? Then after yesterday, he goes out of his way to put down Belichick and discuss how he didn't handle Brady properly. Really Bruce, let's be honest, love him or hate him, Belichick has accomplished much more than you will in your entire lifetime, so probably best not to go there, either The Bucs have numerous guys that really need to be put in their place, but Arians and Devin White are definitely atop that list.
  16. Here's a controversial cap question: Given that our offensive line hasn't really missed a beat in his absence and he'll be 30 this year, would it have been the smart financial move to let Bahktiari walk? I know he's been a cornerstone of this franchise for years and not paying him would have been a widely unpopular move, I am just curious if people think that there were legitimate business reasons not to.
  17. Why? I think if you polled the nation, seeing Brady in yet another SB is not at the top of their choices. Besides, it's not like Rodgers/Mahomes is less of a draw. Doesn't matter what the people want, Brady going to another Super Bowl with a new team and after Belichek fell on his face without him is the storyline the sports media want. It doesn't really matter what the sports media wants either, they have no bearing on the outcome of the game. But it's not like they're getting Bears/Titans if they don't get the Brady/Mahomes bowl. The insinuation that Packers/Chiefs is an inferior marketing product compared to Bucs/Chiefs is weird to me. It's the State Farm Bowl. It's a rematch of Super Bowl 1. It's arguably the two most talented QBs in NFL history and the two best offenses facing off on the biggest stage. It's a matchup of two MVPs and two Super Bowl MVPs. It's an extremely marketable matchup and storyline.
  18. It's hard not to feel like the last 2 seasons were big opportunities missed where we were the alpha dogs in the East. Now we've kind of fallen back to the pack. It's not that we don't have a chance, the East is wide open, but it's no longer a question of who will finish #2 because the Bucks are going to run away with #1. Now we're kind of all in that same group with the Bucks, Heat, Sixers, Nets and Celtics and any one of those teams could win the East.
  19. I would guess it's KC and GB if that ends up being a SB rematch, although we still don't know where that game will be played.
  20. Why? I think if you polled the nation, seeing Brady in yet another SB is not at the top of their choices. Besides, it's not like Rodgers/Mahomes is less of a draw.
  21. I would hang this up all week in the Packers locker room and let it stew. “We knew them guys didn’t deserve to be on the field with us because we got too much talent and we fly around to the ball.”
  22. There have got to be 80K people in Wisconsin that have had both COVID vaccinations, right? Give em all free tickets and pack Lambeau to the gills and get loud.
  23. I only buy them a couple times a year so I just wait til they are super high. This is rational behavior. Under most circumstances, the expected value of a $2 lottery ticket is far less than $2. However, after a jackpot rolls over enough, the expected value of a $2 lottery ticket can become greater than $2. At this point, it becomes prudent to play the lottery. Does this account for the greatly increased chance of a split?
  24. I think we'll both win and cover, but the opening spread sounds about right to me. IMO there's some built in fear from bettors into the opening line because of how bad we looked in Tampa earlier this season. I think smart money goes on GB early and pushes the line to 4.5-5 by kickoff.
  25. You see what Arians is doing right here with his defense? They are up by 10 with under 5 min and still playing the aggressive defense that got them to this point. Not some prevent.
