Packers to work out Matt Flynn

[Guiness]

One other thought I had was that TT was being especially thrifty/budget conscious/cheap regarding Flynn. I think if the Pack picked him up on waivers that they would have inherited whatever contract he was under (please correct me if I'm wrong). He's a free agent now so TT can dictate the terms/price for his services - my guess is the veterans minimum with maybe an incentive or 2.

We all agree that the big IF here is whether or not the medical staff passes his arm/elbow.

Has Flynn even been sighted or rumored to even in Green Bay yet?

I don't think there is any contract to inherit this time, or if so it's not a big one.

When Oakland released him, there was, but no one claimed him so the contract voided (or whatever it is they do). That was the big one...when Buffalo signed him, it might not have been for the vet minimum, but it certainly wasn't much more.

if we had put in a waiver claim then we have to take him no matter what.

if the team had concerns about his elbow, then it would have been stupid to put in a claim. there would have been a chance that you just signed a guy only to put him on IR

for them to bring him in for a workout and not sign him, then i think that tells us that something is wrong. if not, i could see us picking him up on monday if wallace has a so-so game again like last week

How many superbowls did miami/Marino win? Must have been a bunch to have used it as an example.

No, no, I have read that running games are only necessary in cold weather. I am certain of it.

[Pugger]

Have we given Matt a tryout yet or are we waiting until next week? I wonder why we didn't bring him in for a look-see after he cleared waivers last week...

FWIW.....I just read that Wallace will be the first black starting QB in Packers history

Wow.....I'd be more shocked if you guys did't have the position locked down for the last 20 years.......

OK, we have found a point of agreement then. Running the ball is always important. In fairness I think you have read that its even MORE important in the cold when its harder to execute the passing game.

i.e. "Its especially important to run the ball effectively in December in Lambeau."

I believe Favre was considered an honorary brother

I'm just hoping that Wallace can give us a so-so game.

I hope he plays the game of his lifetime. That he plays over his head good.

PACKERS !

he gave us a so-so game last week and we couldn't win

the rest of the team needs to step up, because like you said, wallace should just be able to give us so-so games and we should still be able to win with a 200 yard+ running game

The Philly 'O' runs on high octane. That offense runs a lot of plays ... and fast.

Our running game has to be more than 'just' solid. We must win possession on offense to rest our 'D' as much as possible or the Eagle offense will play our defense out before the end of the game.

[digitaldean]

The Packers D must tackle and cover the pass better than last week or we won't stand a chance. Wallace has to make plays, pure and simple. He won't make Rodgers' patented back shoulder passes that he and Nelson have perfected. We lose the turnover battle and we have zero chance.

Nick Foles has been up and down all year. He has a record game last week, but the week previous to his big/decent games he's stunk.

Assuming Eagles will do 8 man fronts to stuff the run. No matter how you slice it, the next 4-6 weeks will be a huge uphill battle. There will be drop off to be sure at the QB level, but we just can't have a freefall.
