I predicted that the Pack would only win 2 more games(Bears and Browns). Maybe Tampa? So what surprises are ahead for the team. Williams?

Not Williams... the last time I was this unimpressed by a Packers back was Brandon Jackson.

Aaron Jones was all the rage but he just flamed out faster than he came out of nowhere. I love that guy but he looks to be a flash in the pan for now. With the way we handle RB's we may never ever hear from him again.

Devante Mays is going to be fun to watch...people may forget all about Aaron Jones if he shows well on Sunday.

If McCarthy would run the damn ball we might be able to figure out the rb situation one day

He wasn't fancy, but when The Packers needed a tough 2 or 3 yds he got them.

You have to go back many years to find someone who had 20+ carries in a single half.

The only people hurting now are those of us who have The Packers Wr' s in our FFL lineups.
😁😁
Davante Mays up next, can't wait to see how much action he sees this week.

I knew someone would reply referencing that. My post was directed at mikes tendency to forget about running the ball during his tenure with the packers. Last week was an outlier. The week prior is a better reflection of Mike.

There is no guarantee that losing will ensure change. There is no guarantee that winning will not lead to changes.

I hate losing. I hate any team/anyone I love losing. I will never be happy with a Packer loss. I can be less upset under the circumstances with Hundley at QB, but it still leaves me not in a very good mood.

Some variable has to change. I hate losing but if that losing brings change it's more than worth it. Hundley may just do enough to prevent anything from changing. Only people who could possibly be happy with no change are those who aren't that interested in SB wins.

What is ideal is having the right people at the top that will do what needs to be done in the relentless pursuit of SBs but that's the issue. Wrong people at the top and those won't change so nothing will. I'm talking about Mark Murphy. I fault him as much as anyone. That guy is not a winner. Very unfortunate to have him succeed Harlan.

Oh, I agree with that as well. If we lose enough things will change and the more we lose the better the chances are that things will change.

I still agree with Kanata that I don't like it when the Packers lose. I don't get nearly as upset as I used to but I go into every game hoping they win. Even if it comes down to that last meaningless game of the year when we are out of the playoff hunt and a win means we pick three spots lower in the draft and makes it more likely that Ted and Mike and Dom are kept around for another year I will still root for a win. I may not be as upset with a loss in that case but I will still root for the win.

Here's good news...12 took snaps from a trainer in practice today. He was working on cardio and range of motion.

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.
Zero2Cool (23h) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.

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 (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
