OK. So, I'll wait until after the Patriots game to make that call... [boxing]

They played 3 teams that now (over half way through the year) that have winning records. They lost all three times.

We're currently 1-2 against teams with winning records.

Zero, I love how you can simultaneously run threads in which one ranks the packers as the best team in football and the other labels them pretenders. [duh]

I'm of the type that needs visual aids, so this is the best I can do.

Fact is, only ONE team and its fans will be happy at the end of the season.
So much can happen between now and the end of the season. Injuries and so on.
So the guys that seem to be "elite" right now might not be at the end of the year.
The Packers of 2010, who really thought they would go all the way?
Everything can change and it COULD happen again!

Do you think the Packers are contenders? I lean a little more towards pretenders right now than I would contenders. It's not a huge sway or nothing, if I have to put a value on it. 60 pretenders 40 contenders.

Right now, here are the playoff standings.
1 Arizona 8 1
2 Detroit 7 2
3 Philadelphia 7 2
4 New Orleans 4 5
5 Dallas 7 3
6 Seattle 6 3
7 Green Bay 6 3
8 San Francisco 5 4
9 Minnesota 4 5
10 Carolina 3 6 1
11 Atlanta 3 6
13 St. Louis 3 6
14 NY Giants 3 6
15 Washington 3 6
16 Tampa Bay 1 8

The 49ers and Seahawks are most likely going to make it. 49ers are gonna get some guys back soon and go on a run. That leaves winning the division against the Lions or the last wild card spot.

We have a lot of games to play yet so most anything can still happen. Hell, Packers could run the table and get home field throughout. That's fine, as long as 49ers or Giants don't show up.

Pats fans were probably calling them Pretenders after the KC game.

Broncos fans we probably calling them Pretenders after the Pats game.

Seahawks fans were probably calling them Pretenders after the Rams game.

All the contenders have had let downs or will have let downs as having all the pieces of the puzzle just doesn't happen in the salary cap era.

Our Defense is not where it should be, but we stopped an excellent RB this past week. Can we do it against Philly and their talent? I don't know, but I think at home we can run the table which should mean playoffs. After that we cast our lot and hope that Mike and Dom have our guys prepared.

We need to get the running game going. That is my only concern with the Offense with the weather declining over the next few weeks.

Zero2Cool (4h) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
