2020-21 NFL Season

I don't think I've heard Preston Smith's name called more than twice in a single game this season.

You jinxed him into a sack.

Seriously, unless he turns it around down the stretch, I think he'll be cut at the end of the season.

Lower production + lower cap = a good way to save $8 mil.

Packers are frauds

Big extension for Baktiari. $105M for four years. $30M bonus.

Yup. Looking forward to Guty taking a LT at 28 in the Draft to run the scout team OL for the next 3 years.

Have to believe that closes the door on bringing Jones back

Packers are frauds

It sure seems that way. A 7-2 record looks great, but they have beaten only one team (N'awlins) with a record above .500. They might still end up with 12 or 13 wins, but it will be almost exclusively from beating up on non-playoff teams.

Or maybe Jordan Love's backup.

Packers going to the Super Bowl, book it

Lol. From what I see, Vegas has the Packers at +425 to get there. I'd happily give you those odds.

There is no great team in the NFC.

There is no great team in the NFC.

Yeah I agree with this. I could make a case for a few teams right now. All have exploitable weaknesses.

[BM1090]

The Packers aren't great but the offense can win a shootout against anyone if there aren't 25 MPH winds.

I think the Rams are probably the most complete team.

Kyler Murray and Deandre Hopkins, a wing and a prayer

True.

The Packers certainly have flaws, but so do New Orleans, Tampa, Seattle, Arizona and the Rams...and one of 'em is likely heading to the Super Bowl.

I'll never understand Packers fans questioning the decision to draft a replacement QB.  Beyond that Green Bay is 3rd in the NFL in points per game and 1st in passer rating.  Their 2nd and 3rd round picks were designed for LaFluer's offense.  What's the issue?

Because the replacement QB they drafted wasn't being talked about as the #1 overall draft pick that just happened to fall to them in the mid 20s.  He was a guy who led all of college football in interceptions while playing mid-major competition and they moved up to draft him, while being a team that played in an NFC Title game and had some obvious holes to fill while their top 5 QB in the history of the sport is approaching his 40s, in a draft that was deep on a position of need for them.  Instead of getting some help (whether it be stopping the run or giving Rodgers some weapons), the Packers will see 0 players from the first 4 rounds contribute to any kind of real success for the team this year.

I agree with you in concept.  In 2005 when Rodgers was drafted, Brett Favre was younger than Rodgers is now.  Two years later, they were 13-3 and in the NFC Championship Game.  "Wasting" a first round pick on Rodgers didn't seem harm them in the short-term.

The real question is if Jordan Love is actually THE guy to succeed Rodgers.  And no one really knows the answer to that yet.

I don't take issue with #2 and #3. The tight end was actually the rookie who was most impressive in camp.

But for a top team with a couple major needs, you can't punt on a #1 pick. It seemed more like a Trubisky-type flyer than a legit pick.

Usually, I'd say fans are idiots but in this instance, this team is ready to win a Super Bowl now.  The QB is ready to win now.  Win when you can and worry about 2022 in 2022, especially with one of the great QBs of all time

At least, Tower has the Lions.

Mitchell is back

It won't happen, but with the bye next week, the Pace/Nagy era should end immediately (like tomorrow).
