Re: Cheese Curds - News Around The League 2023

Oh my god. So after McDaniels ran Davante Adams's best friend (and reason for joining the team) QB Derek Carr out of town, one of his last acts as coach was to conspire with the GM to deny the NY Jets the ability to acquire Adams via trade and reunite him with Aaron Rodgers: https://www.msn.com/en-...

Love had a fairly decent game today. He might have nightmares of Aaron Donald this week...
Love had a very good second half. Hoping he can build on that going forward. I am not a believer in tanking, so I'm glad that we got this win.

Re: Rams at Packers GDT: Sunday, Nov 5, 2023, 12:00pm CST

The Rams are a middling team in pretty much every major statistical category. This is a tough game to call for me. I can't find any differentiating trait that would cause me to favor either team over the other. Then again, middling should be more than enough to beat the Packers based on what I've s...

Re: Play the 2023 Packers Blame Game!

who is it that thought Rodgers was in decline in 2019, I'd like to see the names on that list, from 2016 on the talent on offense was in decline, McCarthy almost refused to run the ball, the receivers didn't fit McCarthy's pass schemes. 2019 brought in Lafleur and a completely different offense app...

Re: Play the 2023 Packers Blame Game!

But ahead of the 2020 season, I think there were reasons for skepticism: that Rodgers's play at QB was not good enough to be a serious contender, that maybe even he was in decline. When we faced SF, we didn't look like we belonged (people keep talking about another WR, how about addressing the stuf...

Re: Play the 2023 Packers Blame Game!

That being said, I think that we can agree that the team was primed for high-level success in '20-21. It might seem obvious that we were primed for success because we know in hindsight that it happened, and because everyone almost always expects the team to improve over last season (and yet, many d...

Re: Play the 2023 Packers Blame Game!

Unless picking a QB lit a fire under Rodgers to get him to play at MVP level. There is this trite fan-fiction tale to which some here subscribe of Rodgers as a damsel victimized by the big bad GMs that conspired to field bad players on offense and make him suffer, for... some reason. In reality, Ro...

Re: Play the 2023 Packers Blame Game!

I really dislike the argument of "If Gute had drafted a different player than Love in the 2020 draft, we probably would have won the Super Bowl ". The ONLY player I could maybe get on board with is Justin Jefferson. But that's a fictional narrative as he wasn't available at our slot. And ...

Re: Reality

I'm not going to disagree on how things look at time, but i will disagree on talent. There is plenty in that locker room. Coaches need to get them ready and the training staff needs to get the rest healthy. It's a tired excuse, but it is the reality we're in. maybe we don't have the coaches, I'm no...

Re: Reality

There are plenty of young players on the roster who have been drafted early. The jury is still out if they're truly talented though. Unfortunately the front office didn't go all in while Rodgers was still around. Otherwise Love wouldn't be our starting QB at this point. Correct, they did not go all...

Re: Backthepack Nov mock

I like Nabers as a player, but I agree with others that we already have significant investments in the WR position and we need to allow whatever talent is there to percolate. Now the question in my mind is, how badly are we actually going to need a QB in the short term? If it is true that Maye and W...
