Good Reading. I'm getting hopeful Love is gonna be all right, and I'm . Glad to read the D was decent, but this probably wasn't against anything complicated or spphisticated that might trip up Barry. Jury is still out on the kicker, but reason to hope.

"Matt Schneidman
@mattschneidman

Elgton Jenkins vs. D.J. Reader in a scuffle now with the play far away.

Jenkins swings at Reader’s head and connects.

Jenkins is out of the drill now. OL coach Luke Butkus escorts him out."


I doubt our guy with the last name, Butkis, was telling Jenkins to back off and be gentle hahahahaha.

That media sucking puke!!!! How can you read that shit and think it is real!!!

LOL funny!
Seriously, Schneidman is pretty good.

The Bengals didn't have Burrow, and without him their offense sounded like it was pretty inept. I'm not sure how good of a measuring stick it is for the defense. I don't think GB's defense is bad, but I'm still waiting to see if it's good.

Sounds like the OL had some trouble with Reader and Hendrickson, but I know they were rotating guys and had a couple of the 2nd stringer OL in there with Love for a bit. Sean Rhyan has been getting some positive reviews in camp which is nice to hear.

The book on Doubs is that he has trouble with press, I wonder if he looks great in camp/practice because he sees less of it then vs. games? I know some have commented his release looks better, so maybe he'll be able to fight press this year. It's common for young WRs to struggle with it. Speaking of common issues with young WRs, I'm a little concerned with all the drops by the receivers. I think they'll eventually figure it out, but it may take a year or two. Drops are usually a fixable issue. Love's not the most accurate guy, but it also sounds like some of his on-target throws have been dropped.

They don't do too bad a job when they stick to the facts and leave their God damned speculation and opinions out of it. Nobody should get paid for that shit - they're no better at it than any of us.

We sometimes don’t agree on stuff, but on this we are totally aligned

[MadtownPacker]

Seems like Doubs had a good day.

Seems Love throws a sweet pass. Very catchable, caught my attention last year. His throws are decisive and trusting of the receiver to make the play for it.

Shit even Tex is onboard now (as we all knew would happen). He predicted Packers will have a better record than jets!

[Rutnstrut]

The cap issues from the last 2 years were a result of Gute going all in... Im glad they didnt go further because Love would not be given a fair chance at evaluation this year with a handicapped team.

That was far from all in. But it's as far as the Packers are willing to go anymore.

This time last year we were reading about how quick and in shape Amari Rodgers looked as I recall.

I guess we could also have no picks for 3 years with nothing to show for it. That would have satisfied you (no...it probably wouldn't)

[call_me_ishmael]

At least they would have went for it and put it all on the line. Life is about big moments - the Packers were afraid to go all in and try to get that big moment. It is a major bummer IMO.

How great would it have been to make memories with your friends and family during a big super bowl party? They had 3 legit shots in 2011, 2014 and 2020 and they never made it

[run pMc]

Sigh. They did go all in. They are paying for it this year.

Cap spending and FA signings don't guarantee a SB.

You could argue Ted didn't go "all in" because he wasn't a fan of FA spending, but they definitely went all in for 2020 and 2021. They had an MVP QB, Davante, A.Jones, Kenny Clark, Smith Bros, mid-year Mercilus, Jaylon Smith... they were trying everything and fell short. Sometimes you go all-in and someone else has a better hand (or better luck).

[call_me_ishmael]

I disagree they went all in. They went mostly in. They didn't go Denver 2013-2015 for example. They definitely could have shifted more money around and drafted immediate contributors. That is as in as they went since 2014 with Peppers. Man, they were so close. Having another pass catcher would have made a huge difference in that Tampa game.

Again, I recall meeting Jeffery Lurie's wife. She laughed and said "owners and fans always believe they are JUST ONE MORE PLAYER away". Its a joke of course because you assume that if only we had gone even MORE all in we would have won it. There is no evidence to support your theory as if it were true every owner would go all in every year and win it every year. 32 Lombardi Trophies per year. YEA. Otherwise known as participation trophies.

[Joemailman]

If Brandon Bostick doesn't try to field that onside kick, if Bakhtiari doesn't tear his ACL in New Years Eve practice in 2020, if Packers get punt off in 2021, would they have been all in?

[run pMc]

LOL good one!

CMI, we'll have to agree to disagree. Giving a QB, LT, and RB top dollar, plus loading up on FA and basically pulling every lever they could to get cap space at the risk of 2023 and beyond is going all-in. Bahktiari tearing up his knee weeks after his extension hurt them. Denver lost to BAL in the 2013 playoffs, got curbstomped in the 2014 SB, and won the SB in early 2015 in spite of Peyton, not because of him. They had a very good young defense led by Von Miller, and a strong running game...and they faced Cam Newton.
I have trouble understanding how extending your QB with a $59M bonus isn't going all in.
