One liners from Reddit. 

With 1 game left, Z Smith is 3.5 sacks from DOUBLING his best year



Friendly reminder: We‘re 16 yards away from having a 1k yards rusher again!



On this day, 26 years ago, the best touchdown celebration was created, the Lambeau Leap.

Is Billy Turner that bad? I haven’t watched him all that much but I think he’s better than what we had last year.

Billy posts low scores based on the PFF rating system so people love to complain about him.

WPR, I don’t know that anyone necessarily loves to complain about him, but I think to be fair, relative to the three other excellent free agent signings, he has been the least productive.

Of course he is an upgrade over last year, but it was our weakest position on the team so that comparison is setting a pretty low bar.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, he doesn’t suck and I wish we would use him in a more athletic fashion such as pulling him occasionally to trap or on sweeps.

PFF stats: 
2019 SEASON STATS
OFFENSE SNAPS PLAYED 988 14th
PENALTIES 2 T-57th
SACKS ALLOWED 6 T-3rd
(Stat rankings versus all other G.)

Everything else such as pressures and QB hits are in their premium site. I've read/heard that he's rated low in other areas besides sacks allowed. They have him rated at 54.9 but I don't know if that is for the whole season or what.

Frankly, at $7mm a year, I expected more. IIRC, there were other guards available who I think were better and more proven.

Yes he is an upgrade, but I was hoping for an athletic mauler, who alongside Bulaga, would make a "go-to" 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1 combination.

Quite frankly, I wonder if they shouldn't flip Turner and Jenkins.

With his level of play, I get nervous every time someone suggest just moving him to OT if Bulaga can't go, because I don't think that's a good answer, if he's struggled this much at OG, he'll probably struggle a lot more at OT.

Also he's not horrible, he's just average... a slight upgrade over Taylor, but I wouldn't say that much... of course the NFL seems to be going though an OL shortage of sorts, so maybe average is better than actual average. But he might be the worst of the interior OL.

MM make an interesting point that you want a better LG than RG, because with a right handed QB, you'll roll out to the right, so to get the play action to work best, you run it to the left to get defenders to move even further away from the rolling out QB.

Mike McCarthy make an interesting point that you want a better LG than RG, because with a right handed QB, you'll roll out to the right, so to get the play action to work best, you run it to the left to get defenders to move even further away from the rolling out QB.

Fan Shout
TheKanataThrilla (45m) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (50m) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (1h) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him
dfosterf (1h) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him
TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.
TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Tune or Hooker would make sense
dfosterf (2h) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see
TheKanataThrilla (2h) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback
Mucky Tundra (3h) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet
dfosterf (4h) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (4h) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (4h) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (4h) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (5h) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (5h) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (5h) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (6h) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.
dfosterf (8h) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done
Zero2Cool (9h) : what is Schefter saying?
dfosterf (9h) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (9h) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
Mucky Tundra (15h) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice
Mucky Tundra (15h) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it
Mucky Tundra (15h) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons
Mucky Tundra (15h) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious
dfosterf (21h) : *Orzech*
dfosterf (21h) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension
Zero2Cool (22h) : Packers signed someone for three year deal
Zero2Cool (22h) : lol i know it's insane ... sign up for the waiver wire then you'll know
wpr (22h) : YES!!!!!!
Mucky Tundra (22h) : WE WANT THE LIST! WE WANT THE LIST!
Zero2Cool (23h) : @JJLahey · 2m Holy crap, Packers, where the heck is the list?
Zero2Cool (23h) : haha folks on Tweeter every year this time ... 'where is list Packers!!" hahaha
wpr (23h) : He played pretty good.
Zero2Cool (23h) : NAZIR STACKHOUSE HAS MADE THE 53
Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NOOOOO KALEN IS GONE
Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Kalen King and Kamal Hadden making it. me thinks
schroeder84 (26-Aug) : @dfosterf I suspect Elgersma WILL be hard to hide. Raw, but talented
Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : pp.com is broken, halt testing, gotta go do work things for a bit
hardrocker950 (26-Aug) : Mecole Hardman was released, to the surprise of few
Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : PP.com updated. Reset Password works, and now User Profile pages are a thing
Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : Soft hope plan is having fantasy football weekly on-site that i build. cannot do that with this setup.
Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : It's older technology, resource hog, cannot be upgraded/changed. That's to start.
packerfanoutwest (25-Aug) : Ok, but what is wrong with this site?
Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : check out packerpeople.com
Mucky Tundra (25-Aug) : Oh crap I missed that! I thought it was a 2026 pick
Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : It wasn't even next year pick, it's two years away. old dog food value
Mucky Tundra (25-Aug) : Yep! Everytime a team trades with Howie that team is the loser (so says the media)
Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : We are hosed.
