More Banjo: Week 16 @ Minnesota

[Bretsky]

I get what you're saying, but I spend about 90 % of my time on this site thinking the Packers aren't as good as the other team, or will fall into a trap of complacency against a team like the Lions. That Monday night victory was one of the sweetest we've had in a while, especially the way the defense smothered Minnesota - so I'm going to enjoy that Christmas gift.

VERY TRUE

I've been thinking for weeks Green Bay is a step down from the two elite teams and a half step down from team #3 in Seattle. I also thought Minnesota would defeat us handily last week and help prove that GB is a playoff team but no threat there.

the NFL is an emotional roller coaster, but GB has earned more respect from me based on their last win.

No I don't think GB is going to New Orleans OR San Fran and winning; but if they can get homefield they have a real shot to get back to the Super Bowl if the road comes through GB.

I too an enjoying the win !!!!!!

put your cheese back in your pants , people.
the Packers are still a team who lost to SF 37-8and scored 11 vs Chargers. Its not the Packers year and leading the nfc north is no better than leading nfc east

You remind me of so many posters in the past who can only see one possible outcome and its always negative. Must suck to go through life that way. I had this same debate with some idiot who's handle I can't recall in 2010. It went on much longer, but the basis was the same. Trolls gonna troll and when you have 166 lifetime posts and show up at this point to be negative, it speaks volumes.

I was thinking that Rbaloha had signed up with a new account after he got banned or whatever happened to him. He was the 579 poster.

It was nice not seeing Cousins just go off.

Interesting to see that Cousins' two worst performances vs. GB were this year. Then again, Pettine got some big upgrades in the Smiths + Amos.

I don't watch a lot of the games, but it seems to me that the Packers consistently do well when Aaron Jones gets the ball a lot. I'd like to see the Packers continue to keep defenses on their toes with alignments and how they intend to feed Jones. I'd like to see them even work in some i-formation stuff and use him out of the flat, angle routes, etc. Different stuff to keep DBs off him.

They looked like a contender on Monday night. Z'Darius clearly looked PO'd about the pro bowl vote!

I've come around to the idea of drafting a WR in about the second round too - that or signing a quality FA.

I've been thinking this since before Adams got hurt, and nothing has really changed for me. They have proven they can win with Adams and the UDFA gang at WR, but to really make the offense hum they need to give Rodgers more talent. (Jimmy Graham was supposed to help but he's well past his prime.) 2020 draft is supposed to be deep at WR so I'd be very disappointed if they don't draft at least one if not two WRs.

A really good post there, pMc. Excellent use of that quote hahahaha.

rodgers' contract gets restructured to create more cap room next year...https://thespun.com/nfl/aaron-rodger...20-free-agency

[pbmax]

The maneuver would seem to indicate they won’t sign one of their top players, such as nose tackle Kenny Clark or linebacker Blake Martinez, to an extension before the season ends. The deadline for applying money from a contract extension or moving money from future years of an existing contract into the ’19 cap is Saturday at 3 p.m.
