What would your word be for Theismann here? http://fanrankings.nfl.com/results/e...P11_hot_topics

[BloodBrother]

That he is an idiot who just continues to prove that...he's an idiot

Whatever, I hope the fickle media has jumped ship and has now latched on to some other team to slurp. They get paid to make kneejerk reactions to get viewers/hits, that's all this is by Theismann

[BloodBrother]

I like the 2nd link one's but do they come with glass?

[J-Mike88]

If it were up to me, these guys would not suit up next week vs Detroit:

• Rodgers
• Nelson
• Finley
• Matthews
• Woodson
• Tramon
• Raji
• Burnett

I'd also like to rest Pickett another week.... just freshen his legs up. We need the big fella in the playoffs as teams will run on us as much as possible.
Also might need to rest big Howard.

Not sure who that leaves left to play other than Jarius and CJ and #96. Call up some scrubs.

Rodgers, Kuhn, Jennings, Wells, Raji, Matthews, Woodson are the Packers' Pro Bowlers

I really wanted Jordy to make the PB hes been our big play WR all year, And jus helped me win the championship in my fantasy football league.

[J-Mike88]

Jordy seems to have deserved it ahead of Jennings this year.
If I had to make a choice between which of them earned it, I'd for sure say Nelson did.

But hopefully both will be busy for that week anyway.... with the Super Bowl.

Going into the playoffs in a couple weeks is ne1 else worried that our Def really doesnt look as good as last years. I know we got a lot of turnovers but we give up huge passing yrds and teams have been runing the ball on us of lately. And we hav no pass rush besides Matthews.

It is a problem but i think as long as we arent giving up tons of points its not much of a problem. People blamed the defense for the KC loss but asking Rodgers to score more than 17 points shouldnt be an issue.

Jerry Hughes, (6-2, 255 pounds) is stuck at the #3 spot at DE for the Colts, behind even Tyler Brayton and Jamaal Anderson.

He was a guy that in the 2009 NFL Draft, Ted Thompson did like and was prepared to select him with the pick in the 20's.

The reason I think I know this is because both Rick Gosselin and Bob McGinn predicted the picks and a source of Goose here in the DFW area (TCU country) expected Jerry to become a Packer in that 2010 Draft, to match up with Clay Matthews.

Of course, nobody expected Bryan Bulaga to fall out of the top-ten and be there at pick #23 for the Packers, who knew they had some aging OT's who needed to be replaced very soon. Bulaga to the Packers was a match made in heaven. He fit what they look for on the OL to a 'T'.

Now, 2 years later, Hughes has not done anything as a hand-on-the-ground DE for the Colts, languishing behind a couple of just guys, including Anderson who washed out of Atlanta.

What would it take for Packers to obtain Hughes from the Colts now?

Jerry Hughes is an interesting player that i think would be able to do a decent job for us but i doubt that would ever happen.

[J-Mike88]

I don't want to face the Giants, but I think Atlanta does match up well with them.
Good RB, good TE, 3 good WRs, and a clutch QB.....

This part isn't good though:

The Packers have finished the regular season dead last in total defense.

This is only the third time ever Green Bay has done so.

The 1956 team ranked 12th of 12 teams. The 1983 team ranked 28th of 28 teams. And now the 2011 team ranks 32nd of 32 teams. The Packers surrendered 411.6 yards per game this season -- slightly worst than the New England Patriots (411.1). Of course, both teams are No. 1 seeds the postseason. Turnovers have helped both units. Green Bay set a team record with 31 interceptions. The Patriots had 23 picks.

Opposing quarterbacks have feasted on the Packers most of this season, a problem that could catch up with them in the postseason. In the divisional round, Green Bay will face either Eli Manning (4,933 yards, 29 touchdowns), Matt Ryan (4,177, 29) or Matthew Stafford (5,038, 41)

With the Polians out in Indy, maybe they cut their losses with Hughes and TT can pick him up off the scrap heap. I'd still rather go there with the 1st rounder this year, but if Hughes could be picked up for cheap he'd be worth the gamble at this point.

If Hughes had served 2 years abroad for some Mormon missionary thing, I'd still have him ranked #1 for 34 OLB's right now.

I really really want Jerry Hughes, and I worry that a new GM will make it harder to get Hughes.

I'm still gonna contact Teddy on this one.

[J-Mike88]

Great write-up about the MVP Debate between Rodgers and the record-setting, red-hot Brees:

If anything I'd think a new GM is more likely to let go of guys he didn't pick. My concern with Hughes is that he hasn't shown anything. I know he was highly regarded coming out and didn't get drafted into the best situation for his skillset, but you'd think by now he'd have shown flashes of something. From what I see Indy fans saying that hasn't been the case.

I'd be willing to take a shot on him as long as the cost was low. Worst case he's at least as good as the UDFAs we have there now.

[RyanBraun8]

Said it a million times during the draft and I will say it again....Jerry Hughes is massively overrated. Guy just disappears in any film you watch of him. There is a reason he is on the bench and it is not that the guys in front of him a super stars or good players, it is because he is not that good. Hand down or stand up. He does have speed and a good motor but he really is not overly physical and not as willing to stick his nose in there. He wants to burn past the guy and if not, he is out of the play. He made some Mountain West OT's look foolish and slow but that hasn't and wont happen in NFL

[RyanBraun8]

I don't know what it will take J-Mike to lose this man crush on him. All draft you were all over him and now have 2 years of really being as big of a bust a Neil (still early though) you are still all over him. It is not like they have not gave him opportunities to suceed as a 1st round pick, he has just hasn't wanted to show anything on the field to get out there.

Maybe I am being too hard on him but I have not seen anything in college or NFL from him that gives me any sign of being successful. He just isn't physical enough.

[TimmG6376]

Scott Wells was a surprise DNP today. He was in attendance but did not participate. Hopefully just precautionary as that would be difficult to overcome.
