Cullen Jenkins was not coming back. (we have had this discussion numerous times too lol) And we all know the real problem in the Packers defense was from Nick Collins absence, not Cullen Jenkins. I can't believe anyone (not implying anyone specific) could reasonably think differently.

steveishere is right...we have no middle class. Top heavy and not the results you need from your highest paid. We have to subsist on UDFA's because of the top heaviness and like he said...an injury to a top guy is exponentially damaging.

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."

Not reinforcing Nick Collins' neck with titanium. I do agree with Zero. The Collins injury created a huge problem for this team.

Taking so long to draft replacements(or FA) for Nick and a suitable person at ILB as well as addressing the TE problem. I know many on this board wanted Eric Kendricks. Not only does it suck not to have him, but the F'n Vikings got him.

I do think we should have cut Peppers last year. He got some sacks, but man that seemed like a huge waste of $$$.

I also think we are going to be late moving on from Clay. He makes too much money and just does not seem to have it at OLB (I really like him inside, but he doesn't want to play there and we can't pay that type money for ILB). I am not sure what his trade value is if any with his price tag/cap hit.

Hands down injuries have cost this team more than all other factors combined. The same people who had Lacy this year and Monty last year plY thru their injuries, only to have them become season ending, have turned what could have been a dynasty into a Fart in the Wind.

Is it any wonder why these guys would rather go to a Yoga studio in De Pere? It's all about credibility man. Tony Horton has more of that than these trainers do.

If athletes did NOT do this, we should be worried. The fact that they are getting additional outside assistance is a GOOD thing, it is NOT something to fucking condemn the Packers for!

I remember hearing an interview with James Harrison. I believe he stated that he spends about $350K/year on body treatment. Things you do to keep yourself in the game.

Letting Hayward go was absolutely a mistake, even if most of us agreed with it at the time. A full season has passed, so it's perfectly fair to look at that situation in hindsight. Who cares what us fans thought or think of the situation. Thompson is paid big money to know much more than us. He put too much faith in Randall, Rollins, and a concussion-prone Shields, and Hayward didn't get a huge contact anyway. Thompson had to know that Shields was one concussion away from never playing again. Even if Randall and Rollins player better, that's still not enough depth. Can't let young, talented, and reasonably affordable players get away, especially at a premium position. He simply put way too much faith in a concussion-proned player and two sophomore players that frankly had very up and down rookie seasons to begin with.

Letting Hayward go was a big mistake. No other way to put it.

Zero2Cool (23h) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (23h) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.

dfosterf (23h) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
dfosterf (23h) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago
Zero2Cool (23h) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (23h) : Ugh... kids these days!

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

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
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
