GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers might be down but they’re not out.

While they face the longest odds to win the NFC North at sportsbooks, their Super Bowl championship odds are only the 13th-longest at SI Sportsbook. Thus, their No. 15 ranking in Sports Illustrated’s offseason power rankings seems about right – even with the presumed trade of Aaron Rodgers and a quiet free agency.

“If the glimpses of Jordan Love we saw at the end of last year were for real – if he runs the offense as called and has mastered his progressions – we could be in for a treat in the NFC North,” SI.com’s Conor Orr wrote.

“Don’t forget how good this roster was a year ago before Aaron Rodgers’ broken thumb and lack of chemistry with his new wideouts sunk a promising season. Keisean Nixon returning is also a scary prospect for special teams coordinators everywhere.”

The season will hinge in large part on Love’s ability to hit the ground running with the likes of Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs and whoever is drafted at tight end.

Help has not been on the way in free agency. While general manager Brian Gutekunst did re-sign Nixon, the All-Pro returner, his only outside additions have been a safety and long snapper who will have to win spots on the 53-man roster.

The Detroit Lions, who won eight of their final 10 games – including Week 18 at Green Bay to kick the Packers out of the playoffs – signed three new starting defensive backs and have the sixth and 18th picks of the first round. They are 10th in the rankings.

Despite their significant cap problems, the Minnesota Vikings have been active, though they’ve lost four starters and might wind up trading Dalvin Cook and Za’Darius Smith. They are 13th on the strength of Kirk Cousins throwing touchdown passes to Justin Jefferson.

It seems on other platforms when I mention I'm cautiously excited to see Packers with Jordan Love that makes me a Aaron Rodgers hater who doesn't appreciate the QB play we've witnessed for ~30 years. I am thinking you all know differently though. 😋

How are you feeling/thinking about upcoming season Jordan Love lead Packers?

go.pack.go. (55m) : Price will depend on how big the tree is, liability that it includes such as threatening a house, building, fence, etc

go.pack.go. (57m) : I am a procurement forester but I help with tree work on the side from time to time. Learned all about it in college and whatnot

go.pack.go. (57m) : No more tree of course

go.pack.go. (57m) : Tree removal is very expensive, and yes tree companies should remove the tree from your property all together and leave your place looking as if they weren’t even there. Except for there being no more

Zero2Cool (3h) : I wasn't expecting it to be cheap. I was thinking the three in front maybe ~1,500 but i could buy a stump grinder for that.

dfosterf (3h) : It's not going to be cheap. Certified arborists make good money. You cannot do A or E without one. If D fell on the house it looks like it would be no big deal, but the picture might be fooling me.

Zero2Cool (3h) : I have a feeling these trees being removed gonna cost me lot more than I was bargaining

Zero2Cool (3h) : I haven't had much issue ever will drills. I have a pretty firm grip. BUT I also haven't had a chainsaw in my hand while trying to balance on a ladder

Zero2Cool (3h) : Hmm, maybe I just use my sawsall to cut it down. I'll be back in four months.

dfosterf (3h) : Ever had a drill get stuck in the work and twist your hand? Exact same speed as a chainsaw kickback. I don't think even batman dodges that.

Zero2Cool (3h) : WTF is the dark knight doing cutting down dudes trees!!!!

Zero2Cool (3h) : Not a worry, I'll wear my Batman suit!! Imagine the photos!!

dfosterf (3h) : Oh oh, lol Chainsaw accidents average 80 stitches in the emergency room according to the US Forest service. 🤣

Zero2Cool (3h) : holy crap, you can rent a 35 ft lift for $300 for a whole day??

Zero2Cool (4h) : I'll post pictures. One of them is probably 50 feet tall

dfosterf (4h) : I'm sure when he gets his estimates they will render opinions on his plan

dfosterf (4h) : Or dumped, depending on the truck

dfosterf (4h) : Thing is, if he's hiring a tree service, my guess is we are talking some big trees. That shit usually gets craned on and off the chipper shredder truck.

beast (4h) : That's why some wooden ramps can be nice. And heck, you got the wood with the tree. Turn it into a ramp, wheel barrow the rest onto the truck 😋

dfosterf (4h) : I don't know the diameters you'd be dealing with, but tree sections are almost invariably a hell of a lot heavier than they look

Zero2Cool (4h) : Eh, that's not right. It's more like three an half feet. Still sucks loading things into it.

Zero2Cool (4h) : Damn tailgate is almost four feet above ground.

Zero2Cool (4h) : Considering there's no way in hell I can lift something much longer into my damn truck, shouldn't be problem!

Zero2Cool (4h) : Wood must be cut to 4-foot sections to be accepted at the Waste Transfer Station.

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Zero2Stumped

Cheesey (5h) : Sounds like ZERO is....STUMPED! LOL!

Zero2Cool (5h) : Basically cost of cutting tree x,y and z individually, and cost of stump grinding per tree and clean up haha

Zero2Cool (5h) : I have stump grinding listed too as question. I feel kinda bad cuz I got like five quotes I want haha

dfosterf (5h) : Don't forget about the stump. That you can diy, but stump grinders are expensive to rent. They are a bit of a beast to operate, too.

Zero2Cool (5h) : Ugh. I'm so damn ignorant on this stuff!! Thanks for the heads up.

dfosterf (5h) : Some of the municipality dumps that accept tree debris have a maximum diameter that they will accept, so you might want to check on that before deciding on who is taking the tree

Zero2Cool (6h) : Packers announce Family Night will be held August 5th

Zero2Cool (6h) : I'm not sure what to expect, never did this before and first place comes today for estimate. I just compiling list of questions haha

dfosterf (6h) : Kidding aside, you sure they aren't coming back for it? Maybe went to get the chipper shredder?

dfosterf (6h) : Unless you hired the tree cut down and left company, which we don't have in our yellow pages 🙃

dfosterf (7h) : Well, it's called tree removal, so you'd think removal would at least be part of the conversation 😉

Zero2Cool (7h) : Looks like there's a public works spot near me that I can just dump it at. That might save me a few bucks

Zero2Cool (7h) : When you have a tree removed, do they commonly take the tree or is that on you?

dfosterf (8h) : I missed those comments. Curious as to what Bakhtiari said...

Zero2Cool (9h) : Sean Rhyan seems to have been raw deal with what got him suspended. At least, based on David Bakhtiari's comments. Too soon to really know about the kid yet

go.pack.go. (10h) : Dfoster, what’s wrong with Tucker Kraft?

go.pack.go. (10h) : Cheesey, yes I’ve been extremely busy lol

dfosterf (23h) : Slip a kid standing outside the stadium 20 bucks and let him make the pick going forward. That collective obviously cannot.

dfosterf (23h) : By any reasonable criteria to date, Sean Rhyan was the worst pick in the 3rd round last year

dfosterf (23h) : Thus far, out front office failed yet again in the 3rd round of the draft.

Cheesey (4-Jun) : Gopackgo, I'm sure you are more then a little busy!😁

go.pack.go. (4-Jun) : Thanks everyone who congratulated me! Sorry I haven’t been on in a few days and I’m just now seeing the responses

Cheesey (2-Jun) : Kevin, you got it! They won't feel as bad about themselves! "Hey Ma! Ain't they losers? And you thought WE was bad!!!"

Cheesey (2-Jun) : Kevin on "The View". ..."Kevin, are you a right wing or left wing? ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!" Kevin:"I'm a CHICKEN wing!"🤪

Zero2Cool (2-Jun) : I think people like those "reality" shows feel insecure in their life, so watching others to put them down makes them feel better.
