  1. i never heard so much as a peep about it dew, i'd be surprised if it was at all considered
  2. well i never went so far as to make any guarantees, nor would i, let's just say if i could trade rosters and front office with any other franchise right now, it'd be the Packers* *though i do (finally) like the direction the Lions are headed
  3. to be clear, i specifically said Bishop, et al. "were amongst the very best players at their respective positions this year" there's really no way of knowing how most players will perform year to year, so it's mostly futile to prognosticate about it (who really expected Forte's huge rebound, or Pace's breakdown?) also, fwiw, that Pro Bowl article was updated throughout the season and Bishop was a fixture on the list most of the year
  4. Me either, but after the year he had running behind that line, he has to be top 10 easily. I suppose if you consider his receiving abilities out of the backfield you could make a case for top 5. he was ranked their 6th-best RB for the season http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2011/01/21/undercover-mvps-matt-forte/ i'd like to hear specifically what of that write-up you disagree with, minny He said he's not a top 3 back. Your link says he's ranked 6th. What exactly is the point you're trying to make? i was clarifying Minny's mix-up, their specifics actually line up well with my perceptions of Forte (middle of the road runner, great in pass pro, catching)

  6. But he watches the games. His eyes wouldn't deceive him, would they? funny, that was sneakys exact reasoning behind his link. not really, they break down every single play and assess grades to each individual player for every snap, which is quite a bit different than just eyeballing it, i'd have to say
  7. well, you've certainly swayed me.
  8. the explanations aren't really the crux of the point, they've done constant rankings throughout the entire season and that was just a brief summary of why he ranked 2nd best for their NFC ILB rankings
  9. i'm having a completely impossible time trying to follow your bizarre narrative at this point. the Packers got lucky because they lost no irreplaceable players, because their backups were so good? i'll defer to guys who've watched every snap of every game on this one: http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2011/01/26/nfc-pro-bowl-who-you-should-have-been-watching-or-not-watching-in-hawaii/
  10. the 3-4 uses more than 1 ILB...
  11. They would be the same as any other team that loses an elite quarterback. I'm not sure what that's supposed to prove. ok, clay matthews then. they lost luxury-type players. sure, if they had lost Matthews on top of starters like Barnett, Grant, Finley, Jones, Burnett, Tauscher, they might not have had the 2nd-best point differential in all of football point taken.
  12. its mostly Rodgers, though. free agency and big contracts else where will eventually deplete the team of talent. That reality puts a lot of pressure on their drafting abilities. And despite the unusual number of injuries this year, they aren't guaranteed any more health next year. What happens if they remain completely healthy next year except for Rodgers who blows out a knee in the 3rd game? Is Matt Flynn capable of carrying them through the playoffs? They lose 2 of the 3 playoff games they had with out Rodgers. the league turns over so quickly anymore, I'm not buying the dynasty just yet. Sitton, Matthews, T.Williams, Bishop, Wells were amongst the very best players at their respective positions this year, and guys like Raji, Jennings, Finley, Collins, Johnson, Shields, Masthay, Bulaga have obvious potential to be right there too the Packers are probably in better shape backup QB-wise than most other teams, frankly
  13. it's more than just Rodgers, they've got stars all over the field on both sides of the ball. and Woodson aside, they're all really young.
  14. oh my, what a clever lampooning of delusional Packers fans, you're really showing them!
  15. 1) Big Ben deserves some heat for his poor performance. the two picks were his fault, and he missed a host of pretty wide-open throws 2) the Chrysler ad was the best commercial
  16. so, Jarius Wynn had a pretty good day
  17. On one hand, a rapist gets to celebrate and thousands of wisconsin women are beaten senseless. On the other, the Packers and their douchebag redneck yokel fans win. Wear a helmet women of wisconsin! Never understood the redneck connection considering Wisconsin is actually north of Illinois. Yes, there are fatties there but I translate rednecks to people that live in Kentucky and further south. rednecks aren't just from the south. in colorado and washington state, they're known as mountain people. in the midwest, the closer you are to the UP, the closer you are to being a simpleton. hey sulley, where are you from, anyway?
  18. you are obsessed with me. please stop it, it's starting to scare me. you need at least 10,000 posts to start obsessing other NSBB members. [expletive], it all makes sense now erik has a 2nd account
  19. signing TE Chris Barnett helped ease the sting of missing on Darian Cooper & Jake Fisher it'd be nice if we can get Leilon Willingham too and secure a pretty good class
  20. where are you seeing that he's decided yet?
  21. it was a joke; Jackson's always pretty hyperbolic
  22. considering we just signed a better Mark Ingram, that still seems a little low “Honestly, I did get a chance to watch Mark Ingram a few times,” [Fred Jackson Jr.] told The Flint Journal. “Mark is probably one of the best guys ever to come through here. Mark was great, but there’s something about this kid Thomas. If I was to compare them as high school backs, give me Thomas Rawls.”
  23. just such a great spaz attack
  24. why not? he's been terrific so far for them
  25. kinda dumb, our pass protection was one of the best in the league but people assumed since Stafford got hurt, it must have been abysmal i'll take a new RG though
