If you were to fire the entire division into the sun, the only thing of value lost would be the Packers.

If you were to fire the entire division into the sun, only Packers fans would be upset. Bears/Lions/Vikings fans would secretly be relieved as hell that their suffering was over.

I am sad about Levy.

I would like us to sign TJ Lang.

Somebody tell me how to feel about the rest of the changes.

Detroit shouldn't get Lang. I've heard so much bitching over how much he supposedly holds every single play from Detroit fans that it's weird that they suddenly want him now.

Also HELL YEAH MARTELLUS BENNETT TED ACTUALLY DID A THING!

Wait what?

We signed Bennett? Holy poo poo I was feeling kind of bummed about Cook going, but gently caress, that's a straight upgrade for probably similar costs to what Cook wanted.

it rules, when your team is so bad that the only thing left to root for is literally for aaron rodgers to eventually retire

I'm convinced our post-Rodgers situation will still be good. McCarthy is an amazing QB coach, and whoever we decide on as the heir will be able to learn from Rodgers for what that's worth.

This poo poo infuriates me and makes me hate John Fox even more.

Would Bennett have really been on the table for you guys at near that price though? Green bay is more likely to get him another ring and he wasn't really happy with the Bears when he left. I mean I'm shocked we got him for cheaper than Cook.

TJ Lang getting to come home and play for the Lions is awesome.

Yeah, he said he wants to raise his kids in his hometown and I get that. Also he'll have more time with the kids with no deep postseason games!

I haven’t been keeping up with everyone on the team who’s spoken up but fwiw I did just see Damarious Randall retweet the Jordy tweet. Also James Jones and Jermichael Finley have chimed in as well so it’s not just the white guys.

Randall's initial response to Bennetts claim was a single "lol". Don't think there was a lot of love lost.

Apparently Rodgers's shoulder is recovering ahead of schedule, though that seems to be excited fan speculation based on him not using the sling anymore and picking up and carrying things with his right arm so take that with a grain of salt. If the team can grind their way to a 8-5 (losing to the Steelers) or 7-6 (Steelers + 1 other team) record then I think Rodgers comes back for the Panthers match.

If we lose three more games before Week 15 then he's not coming back this season. I've been looking at likely playoff paths and unless there's a couple serious collapses in the NFC there's going to be a massive logjam at 9-7 that the Packers will be very unlikely to emerge on top thanks to tiebreakers and the chain of losses they'd have accrued. And that's assuming Rodgers is enough to take the team 3-0 over the Panthers, Vikings, and Lions, which seems highly unlikely.

Part of my optimism is I think the Bears are a better team than they're getting credit for, they're just held back by youth/inexperience and John Fox. But again, divisional game, coming-off-a-victory optimism, etc, etc. Hundley looked better today than he did last week, and last week he looked better than he did against the Saints.

I would die laughing if the Packers somehow made the playoffs. Every Vikings fan I know has been talking loads of poo poo even after last year should have warned them about their hubris.

Hey man, if you can find the mythical Football forum where NFCN fans don't have giant chips on their shoulders about the Packers/Rodgers, let me know. SA is by far the best in that regard I've found.

Zimmer and Caldwell earned the same amount of playoff spots in the last 2 years. Might as well fire Zimmer next week.

I think it's a decent business decision on his part. Prove your worth with another team and build your resume. Packers GM spot isn't likely to open up for a good long while, so if you want to be upwardly mobile it's not a bad call.

It's very cool that the Lions have no TE's now. Right now we're on pace to start Stafford, Tate, and 20 linebackers?

I'm going to be pissed if the Lions pick up Goedert in the draft. They already picked a SD State alumni and they don't fuckin play him.
