Yoop that news is a couple days old. Edgar and Alex just happened. A surprise but as far as who's next?

I read that we were going to bring back Philbin and or McAdoo. So, don't be surprised if BOTH of them are coming here.

For those of us desiring accountability and change, we got it. There has been way too much thought inbreeding and I am extremely pleased change is occuring.

I think Mike McCarthy has been doing most of the coaching and is probably tired of carrying the load.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Pelissero is saying reassigned. Wilde saying might return in another capacity.

Thought McCarthy should have thought about redoing the offense coaching/structure after 2015. Even when the offense is good lately it's a struggle. Hitting a big play around here is like pulling teeth. We may be good at pulling teeth but lets try and make it a little easier from the get go.

I think McCarthy would be a better Head Coach as just that and not Head Coach/OC. It worked that way for a while because he was good at it but that has to be a hell of a lot of work. He's gotta be burning out some. That coupled with the mostly developmental coaching program with few outside voices let things get kind of stale maybe. Just have to make the right hire at OC.

Hey, if Marvin Lewis can get an extension, why would Mike McCarthy be fired?

Easy. Marvin Lewis got the Bills into the playoffs where everyone else failed since 1999.

Edgar ascended too quickly. Our offense has been shit since at least 15 though. Surprised too see him fired after they moved him up year after year. Fell out of love quickly. Very glad to see this though, needed to happen.

Look how long they stuck with Campen before he got it together. Same thing with our former ST coach, who never did get it together. I’d rather see Edgar calling old school WCO plays than getting shit canned. But we shall see.

Mike gets a shot at fixing this.

Gonna be tough to come back with a reassignment (read demotion) but he may catch on somewhere else.

I think part of what held GB back a bit was their loyalty to their own and those with ties to the team. I get that those are the guys you know best but it eliminates a lot of potential candidates. Kind of like the talk about bringing back Philbin and McAdoo. They couldn't cut it at the next level which is no indicator that they can't be successful in a lesser role but are they being considered simply because they know the system and if that is the case how much will really change.

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (19h) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (23h) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (23h) : 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 (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

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

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

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.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Thanks Mucky and whomever created topcos for each pick!

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Insane about Kingsley
