Ketchup

All about the money. It's not ridiculous from a revenue standpoint. Makes a lot of sense actually. That said, if they are going to impose a 16 game rule for players, that's a big no for me. Only way that works for the fans even in the slightest, is if it excludes QB's because they are so darn protected and their role is a lot less physical then everyone elses besides the kickers and punters. If a starting QB is forced to sit for two regular season games, it's a non-starter for me.

Man, that was such a bad look from Smith. Made him look like an absolute fool.

It’s not an overly offensive thing either. Clay is nowhere close to jersey retire status. Not. Even. Close. Pseudo retiring it for a year is silly. The sentimental can have their opinion, I’ll stick with mine.

It’s a number. Wouldn’t someone’s actual name being honored be much more honorable then a number? I think so. You can disagree, however it’s not going to change my opinion. And the Packers had absolutely zero responsibly to reach out to Clay and tell him someone else will be wearing 52. That’s absurd while he’s wearing another teams jersey.

Honestly, why are people so sentimental about numbers? Clay was a very good player for us and was very popular, but it’s just a number. It doesn’t diminish him in any way. Numbers being retired at all is stupid imo, let’s not raise the stupidity level by pseudo retiring numbers.

My point is it’s not some decades long tradition that is blasphemy to go against the way you are acting like it is.

That’s an injury just waiting to happen. Having 22 jacked football players trying to catch one football would get very ugly.

You do realize that the SB champs haven’t always opened the season right? This distinct honor you are so worked up about didn’t start until 2004.

This has been rumored to be the opening game long before the Kraft stuff. Not everything is some conspiracy. They want to promote the 100th NFL season by starting the season with the longest running rivalry. Nothing more.

I would have liked to have him back but we have so much draft capital sunk into the CB position, we need to sink or swim with Jaire, JJ and King. Plus, using another 5 million of the cap on a corner probably wasn’t practical.

Man oh man. Look, it’s exciting to be active in free agency and to have a GM recognize that our window is not going to be open much longer. However, TT fielded playoff teams almost every year and brought a SB ring to GB. He had his deficiencies, like every GM does, but he was a damn fine GM. He built some terrific teams and and it’s a shame he’s looked at with such hate. Until Gute proves all these moves can contribute to this team, I’d hold off on the whole thank goodness he’s not TT bs.

Randall Cobb. Guy got paid a lot of money and has contributed barely anything.

I didn’t come at you with anything. I was responding to your one specific post.

Players routinely get paid on future expectations. The expectations are high. He had very very good pressure numbers. Look, if it was any other team, I’d be skeptical so I get it.

Is it though? I don’t think we are super bowl favorites but if stuff hits right with the new HC, Rodgers healthy and the defense improving with these additions, we could easily be SB favorites. That said, it could just as easily go the other way.
