Baby, you know it! COVID be damned! We're back!!!!
Those new on the forum, do read the rules carefully. The basic idea is the Packers' underdog/overachiever of the week contest. The bolder the pick, usually the better. Established guys need to smash their expectation levels to get votes. Good luck guessing, which is called "knowing" if you get it right :D

Ok Ok, so it has been a convenient catch phrase for me over the past 30 some odd years. But besides that, it has inspired me to create a
week-by-week segment that will involve picking 1 Packers player that will really stand out in a good way; someone who we can expect to transform into a beast, force himself through the metaphorical door jam and really rear his ugly head.
You can pick anyone you wish, but just remember the bolder the pick, the better (ie, picking AR is a safe choice, but you're only likely to win if he does something historic).
Which brings me to my next topics - rules and voting:
- Each participant is allowed to pick 1 player per week. (See Amendment I)
- No two participants may pick the same player.
- Picks can be made from the time the weekly thread is posted until kickoff. Any picks made after kickoff will not be considered.
-- Amendment I:
a] If a player wishes, he/she may select the offensive line as their pick for the week. Your potential for votes depends on the performance of the entire group as a cohesive unit.
b] Individual players within the offensive line unit will still be eligible for selection before and after "offensive line" has been picked. (i.e. if someone has already chosen the Oline, Lane Taylor would remain an eligible pick)
c] The offensive line will be the only position group eligible to be picked and receive votes
- After each game, participants can place their votes for the one poster who they felt had the best pick.
- Voting session commences at the conclusion of the game and will end around mid-week.
- Each participant is allowed 1 vote per week.
- Only participants may vote and no participant may vote for him/herself.
The poster with the most votes at the time polls close (around midweek) will be that week's winner.
The poster who has won the most weeks at the end of the season will get a custom made banner for bragging rights and perhaps some additional prize (TBD).
Why am I doing this you ask?
Simple answer, really- all work and no play make Papa Johnny a dull boy.
Past Champions:
2019 - Charon21
2018 - Packfntk
2017 - BF004
2016 - BF004
2015 and before - Could not find 'em. Papa kept his scores secret...

Aaron Jones freaks out and waives goodbye to the Queens chances.

Sounds like the first half, to me.

Gary was my #1.
MVS was my #2.
Those are my two players this year who I think have the "biggest breakout" seasons.
