Forte would be a good addition. I believe he still has 2 or 3 more good years left and he's fully capable of being the feature back of this team though I'd rather he split reps with Lacy. But RB isn't really a need for us unless Lacy intends to go into next season out of shape again. I'd rather we sign a TE like Ladarius Green. He would be Finley's true replacement and be a legit weapon for us. Highly unlikely were gonna get either of these players though *sigh.

Here is the only issue with adding Forte... is that the biggest area of concern on the Packers to tie up the little slice of Free Agent $$$ that Uncle Teddy likes to spend?

I would rather find a veteran TE or Inside Backer with a couple years left that could impact verses a RB...

What teams are ahead of the Packers? In NFC I can reason with Seahawks, Panthers and that's about it. Cardinals can't possibly be viewed much better considering during the PLAYOFFS the Packers pushed them into overtime with THREE receivers of the names Jeff Janis, James Jones and Jared Abbrederis. You give me Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb and Ty Montgomery and I'll give your Cardinals Tyrann Mathieu and my money is on the Packers.

Saying the Packers are not one of the teams just wreaks as "look at me, I think I'm objective!". Hogwash!

But hey, I bet the Lions are JUST AROUND THE CORNER OF DOMINANCE, right?

I mean cant get much better of a shot at winning it all than in NE, 5 afc Championships in 5 years could be the clincher.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Cardinals were ranked higher than Packers through my formula's. Thanks for reading them.

I can't even think about Matt Forte while someone is chirping that the Packers aren't one of the top teams. Crazy-go-nuts!!

Woodson was presumed over the hill, same with Peppers. Pickett wasn't all that young when he signed with us either.

Some reporter out of the Chicago Tribune said that Peppers is already rallying Forte to sign with us. It helps to have that guy around, and I'd embrace the signing especially since Rodgers loves to just dump the ball off now.

How ironic would it be if Peppers recruits Forte and then in order to afford Forte we cut Peppers after he signs.

Next year I see the Vikes winning the division again and going pretty far in the playoffs. That missed FG pretty much cost them a NFC Championship game appearance. But hey thats why they play the games for all we know the Bears could win the division.

Ugh, I suppose I should add something about Matt Forte. Couldn't care less where he signs. If he is signed by the Packers, I think it is a win-win. It tells Eddie, we ain't playing homie and it gives Packers an offensive receiving threat out of the backfield.

Does anyone know if Forte is solid in pass protection? If he is even close to average, above or below, Packers will not sign him. Pass protection is what Packers seem to value most at running back.

Granted, the Vikings were far closer than any other team, but the bottom line is that there's not a huge talent gap between teams in the playoffs. The Packers have been and will be a perennial playoff team. Whether they have what it takes to execute on those one or two plays has been the issue. The Vikings are up and coming, but in my mind still need to prove that they're for real and in it for the long haul.
