If someone can gift him a ticket, or buy one, I'm down for $101.00.  

This is all too kind but not needed at all. My deepest gratitude for the gesture to you.

I will certainly make my way over sooner rather than later. What I would love if possible is a FF get together at a Packers game, if that happens I'm booking a ticket asap!!! Also if the draft does happen in Green Bay in 2025 I'm 110% coming for that!!!

I sadly wasn't able to get tickets for the London game.

It was bad timing because I had to drive somewhere for work during the middle of the ticket sale. Originally I had planned to be at my computer in the office but instead I was doing it all on my phone, I stopped every 20 minutes at a layby or car park to check the phone before resuming driving. Never had a chance, it was all sold out and I was still 80k in the queue.

My mate joined the queue much earlier at 8.45am and was never kicked off. After about an hour he got in but he found it impossible to select his seats as they were being sold in real time and he had to go back and choose new seats but each time the seats were gone by the time he went to checkout and had to go back and try again. After a while his session eventually timed out and kicked him off the queue. He was fuming,

By the way some interesting Packers roster moves right before training camp. I don't think i've seen so many bottom of the roster turnover at this point in the off-season. That's four UDFA cut before camp even started and that makes me pessimistic for the overall quality of our UDFA class and perhaps of our scouting competency. Why sign all those players if they're not good enough to compete in camp for us? I mean Tre Sterling highlight tape was terrible and surely the scouts knew this and yet they still brought him to Green Bay.

I'm a little surprised Texada didn't get a shot at training camp I thought his highlights showed he had something. Watson and Watkins on PUP and NFI list to start training camp is just unfortunate so bringing in a WR makes sense here but it's a shame it was not Julio Jones. I really like the look of Sal Cannella, with a small TE group he has a real shot to make the roster.

Dallin Leavitt is somewhat interesting due to his prior history with Bisaccia, as soon he was cut from the Raiders we jumped all over him. He's a specialist ST and I wonder if Gute will let Bisaccia have another specialist on the 53 roster cutdown when we already got one in Nixon. Typically a ST coordinator would get a kicker, punter, long snapper, a returner and a ST guru but a getting a second ST guru, that's verging into Belichick territory here. He would keep both Slater and Ebner on his roster despite them barely ever playing a snap on offence/defence. Do the Packers have room to do this? we would need players with lots of versatility to compensate and of course luck with injuries.

Sucks that you missed out on the tickets.

I'd rather have GB churning the bottom of the roster looking for better players than not.   Better to recognize a player does have it than " compound the issue " by keeping them on the roster to " look good"  as a scouting group.

I’m still expecting the worst in hopes of being surprised but you’d have to think a few things like this plus no real moves at OT point to GB thinking he’ll be able to play soon.

 

 

It certainly would be great news if he were able to come back and put the knee behind hm. I think that is something every Packer fan is hoping for.
