      "Snowflakes" originated from one of my all time favorite flick, "Fight Club." I love watching the film's protagonist annihilates that abomination, Cap It Alism.

        Hmm. Maybe it will stimulate other parts as well.

        • so this was one giant FAIL

          fat mike still doesn't know how to use a receiving TE

          graham might be the slowest human alive at this point, and he can no longer jump

          he was suppose to be the answer to our red zone woes. but our redzone is just as fucked as ever

            As I said, way back at the signing, losing Jordy and signing Graham was at best standing pat. And if QB/Graham combo played out like in Seattle, it'd be a coach killer.

              Graham has been sitting out some practices because of a knee problem. After a couple of those end zone misses yesterday, I wonder if the knee is more of a problem than they're letting on. Looked like he could barely jump on the one throw.

              That said, he's on a pace for about 70 catches for 800 yards, which would be the most by a Packer TE in a long time. Maybe ever. So he's not a total fail.

              If people thought that Graham at age 32 was going to do for the Packers what he did for New Orleans when he was 26, I think they were a bit naive.

                Sure, maybe. And that seems like what you'd get out of Jordy this year.

                  800 yards from a TE is better than 800 yards from a WR. Jordy has been replaced by Allison who has similar numbers to Jordy. Graham/Allison> Jordy/Kendricks.

                    Good point, but overall not necessarily different. I think the Packers use him more as a WR anyway, But like I said, if they don't make effective use of him, it's a disaster (obviously). If the trajectory he's on continues, it's better than Seattle I think, but you'll have to look at overall receiving numbers to see if he has a positive impact above having Jordy (not to mention eyeball evidence - we will be able to see this by redone TDs, exploited mismatches, critical conversions, etc.). (Allison taking Jordy's numbers also means you have to look at Allison's numbers and see who is compensating for him at WR 3/4. What if Graham is compensating for/taking those receptions? Still, there's a lot of season left to be played. Hopefully he will be more than Bob Lanier posting up here and there.

                    • He’s also on pace for 3 tds on the year

                      He’s suppose to be our huge red zone target

                      • Could Jimmy's issues with AR be stemming from Rodgers' injury and not practicing much since the season started?

                          they should have had all training camp and pre season

                          oh wait, a-rod doesn't practice during those times

                          i have said more then a few times that a-rod may not need the practice, but other guys sure as hell need the practice time with him

                          • if they'll use him like a TE, and Rodgers not look past him for some prayer down field, he'll have more of an impact. the scramble drill is not his thing.
