Bulaga lost his to injury. The same can apply to the center position.

Tretter's agent is saying this isn't anything "significant"...counter to the stuff being put out by the Packers.

Agent said depending on how Packers treat it (agent thinks it's a bone bruise) he could be back as early as 3 weeks. That would be 1 game missed.

Sounds like, as of now, this injury has been over reported...how refreshing that would be for a change.

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."

This sucks, but I'm betting nobody else in the league is feeling sorry for The Pack, so just gotta move on.

1 plus with Linsley is he did play for Urban Meyer, who depends on the center to do all the line adjustments and blocking adjustment calls, so he has had that experience, with Lang and Sitton on either side, we can only hope for the best.

I long for the days when players use to rub some dirt on it and play through the pain. Sit Tretter, I guess and let Linsley play. Hell, they're both green and grass anyway. You think Seattle blitzes up the gut all night?

Well, that just make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I am chosen by many but taken by no one.

What if Linsley plays extremely well for the first few weeks of the season? Do you dare go back to Tretter if the team is 3-0?

This could work out extremely well IF Linsley can play. I'd leave Linsley at C and make Tretter, with his versatility, the top backup on the line... the Don Barclay role, if you will.

The reality is a rookie center has less than 11 days to prepare to play against the defending super bowl champions on the road instead of the guy who has worked with Rodgers all off-season at the position. It sucks, but it will have to something the offense goes through together. As Corey said today: "The urgency is through the roof."

If it was rocking that night, just wait until Thursday Night when they're celebrating their ring. That place will be more insane than it usually is. An experienced center is going to have trouble in that building on any night, but this one will make it even harder.

This is where your great stories are born... Adam Timmerman having to face the formidable Niners front with Bryant Young and Dana Stubblefield. It was a playoff game and we had to start a 7th rounder from the SDSU Jackrabbits and he was up to the task. He was outstanding and parlayed that into a big FA deal with STL, if memory serves. James Campen wasn't our OL coach then, though.

I was one of the few who thought we were going to beat Seattle. It is hard to think that with a rookie center who has taken ZERO snaps with the ones prior to today. Not one single snap to Rodgers. Pressure up the middle will be unreal from the Seahawks. It could very easily turn into a route real fast. You worry about Rodgers health in that environment considering what happened last time in that 1st half.

Let's see what that kid can do...he came from basically a professional program under Meyer in Columbus. Pull a Timmerman young man. We need ya.

We drew the toughest game on paper for our first game. I just wish Mike McCarthy let's the dog out and let's see where we land vs. his usual keep it close away philosophy.

dhazer (1h) : Steelers sign Patterson because of new kickoff rule interesting
Zero2Cool (4h) : Former #Packers TE Josiah Deguara is signing a 1-year deal with the Jaguars, per source.
Zero2Cool (5h) : They do not do it for "content sake".

Zero2Cool (22h) : Haha
Mucky Tundra (23h) : No time for talking! Back to work beast!
beast (27-Mar) : You saw only 4,201 of my mocks? 🥺 I think that means you missed more than half of them 😢
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Does anyone know what Lambeau field improvements got put on hold? My guess would be for the 2025 draft
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Against tbd
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Ugh... kids these days!
dfosterf (27-Mar) : I'm gonna go do some more mock draft hell instead 🤪
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Did we do one of those prediction threads yet for 2024 season?
dfosterf (27-Mar) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Packers sign another Kicker
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Lengthy explanation at PFF if you click the link

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Shouldn't be penalized cuz official screwed up
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
