Great to see.....also, there is this topic. Hopefully it's a busier and more positive thread than the last few years 🙂

The caption: "Quite possibly the worst-blocked run play ever. 4 out of the 5 linemen are lying on the ground." lol

Nice road win. Happy for Willis to be the starter for that win against his former team. Even though Tennessee is 0-3, the future is bright. Their defense was solid for most of the game against the run. They had a couple nice drives that lead to TD's. The Packers did get 8 sacks and 2 picks (one for a TD). They have matched the total number of picks they got last season. I have long been a critic of MLF, but will give him credit. They have run the ball often and run it well. The screen game looks much better than previous seasons as well. Hopefully those things continue when Love comes back. Big test next Sunday against a surprisingly good Vikings team. If Willis plays next week, he needs to be a bigger factor in the run game.

lol

Charlotte's ability to move the ball was concerning, but the defense adjusted well.

This is funny. "For training purposes only" I guess that means they are training for a disaster in Dallas after another playoff loss? 🤣 https://www.wesh.com/article/fema-accidentally-declares-major-disaster-saints-cowboys-game/62298265?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot&fbclid=IwY2xjawFbvQ1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHXGY1ffhf4cT8656T6HjdKAx64DLdHGRA59T-xjBtag4iEBV-JbH8H3TeA_aem_LR-4RHkZCSgmNjjA2Vylxg

They did.......offered him when he was at Utah. They sent a plane to Salt Lake City to pick him up. He sent it back as he took the offer from Florida.

Not sure I wanna read it; still pissed about the tie breaker with us (WC), LN, and Perry Meridian. Sorry Rudy, nothing personal. 🙂

Willing to bet Deion was the next one up. he HAS to have a great season from this point forward. I cannot see Urban going anywhere at this point either. The studio job is too easy. And he has too much baggage; not just scandals, but leaving after a short time is a concern as well; wherever he has been.

😄Just coverin all the bases.

Timing has been huge for the team and city. And honestly, luck has sure played a part. I still remember in the mid 80's Frank DeFord did a cover story for Sports Illustrated saying it was time for the Packers to move to Milwaukee. A series of bad/sentimental hires kept the team down in the 70's and 80's. There was also the R issue in the 80's. James Lofton was a big trade for them, but after he had some trouble with law enforcement, there was pressure on the team to get rid of him and they did. It sent a strong message in the early years of free agency moves. Ron Wolf Was the first piece put in place in 1991. He really was the architect of what we see now. Interesting story...Lindy Infante was the coach at the time. He knew the first day of training camp that he was going to fire Infante. What he saw at practice in just one day was enough. But he never believed in firing a coach during the season. They finished that season 4-12. Wolf was able to hire Mike Holmgren, trade for Favre, and sign Reggie White as a free agent. That was a HUGE signing because there was a reputation that black players struggle in Green Bay. He also drafted Edgar Bennett and Mark Chmura that year. Favre took over the starting QB job during that season. They were now on track. Wolf may have stayed a bit too long though. Losing Holmgren was huge. But I did feel they definitely should have had more than the 2 appearances in the Super Bowl they had. One HUGE factor in some level of consistency has been the fact that they had Favre and Rodgers stay healthy and play as long as they did. How many teams had just 2 QB's span a 30 year time frame? Historically, you can also credit George Halas. In the late 50's the league was considering eliminating teams that could not compete. Green Bay was at the top of the list. They were not competing; they were in a small town. Halas called the commissioner and said if Green Bay does not have a team, the league will not survive. Another moment; Jim Lee Howell retired as the head coach of the Giants. The replacement was an obvious one. Lombardi was from Jersey, and wanted to be home coaching. He was in his 2nd season in Green Bay, and his wife was miserable there. Her family was all back East as well. Halas called Pete Rozelle who was in his first year as commissioner and said he needed to convince Lombardi to stay in Green Bay. Rozelle made the call, and the rest is history. So thank you Papa Bear

Pretty cool milestone to reach....first. 🙂 https://www.givemesport.com/packers-first-nfl-team-800-wins/

Nice win, but they SHOULD have put this one away early. Jacobs has over 100 yards in the 1st half, and the team has over 200 yards rushing in the 1st half and only 10 points to show for it. It was nice seeing the run game featured though. I do think Jacobs showed one thing he has that Jones did not; and it is in no way a knock on Jones. But Jacobs has that move; stick a foot in the ground and go where the opening is, where Jones would just run through with no plant foot. It's also nice the Packers won this one so my students cannot talk crap like they did all week leading up to the weekend. 😄

Nice win on a long road trip. Rourke really looked good in this one too. I liked seeing the run game going well. Penalties were tough to see. Some head scratching interpretations of things as well.

Ok, so this is a BIG topic and will likely build steam as the next few days pass. As this topic goes on, just a reminder regarding rumors: Verified news stories only are allowed.

Final: Warren Central 35, Lawrence Central 0. Warriors have still not allowed a point. Four shutouts 114-0. The gold chromed helmets are pretty badass too.

As a chaperone on a youth group trip to the Grand Tetons, we stayed one night on campus in Cheyenne. Beautiful campus with the mountains still in the distance as a backdrop.

If this team is a playoff team, then the NCAA went too far with expanding the playoffs. I agree though that if they win out they probably are in the top 12. Another loss would seal their fate for sure.
