Re: Steelers Lead up
I didn't realize it until just looking but the season is basically over right now anyways. 4 games behind the Vikings for the division with 6 to play, 2 behind Carolina for the first wildcard and 1 behind Atlanta for the second but they have the tiebreaker so it's basically 2 games with them too.
Plus we'll likely be behind Detroit by a game after losing to the Steelers and probably 2 behind Seattle assuming we lose to Pittsburgh and they beat San Francisco.

We still have a game with the Panthers, so there is a chance for us to take their spot and Detroit's spot in the Wild Card race. However, everything hangs on Brett Hundley looking like a serviceable backup until Rodgers comes back. We have already lost one of the most winnable games during Aaron's injury, and we threw away a golden defensive game against the Saints where we shut down one of the best offenses in the league for a full half. A loss this week pretty much puts us away.

Re: Steelers Lead up
This would be a tough game even with Rodgers.
If we lose this, we have to win out. 10-6 team has a decent shot one way or another.

That would be fine if we were good at first round drafting
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

It'd be fine regardless because it'd amplify the attention on just how terrible MM and TT are without Rodgers. Get them the **** out.

Re: Steelers Lead up
A friend of mine claims to have sources saying Ted has taken a step back and that Wolf was the draft guy this off season. I don't know that I believe it at all or not but thought I would throw that out there.

Wonder if Ted stepped back in regards to FA signings too. Bringing House back, eh ok I could see that being a Ted move but the Bennett signing definitely didn’t seem like a Ted move.

There have been whispers that Ted has been considering retirement for the last couple offseasons. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the year. Especially if his staff continues to get poached by opposing teams.
I could see Murphy giving Ted a nudge.

He's gone. Packers save 11 mil if cut. He's going to pull a peppers and leave then lead the nfc in sacks.

He could do it if he had a fully healthy season. He always looks great in week 1 and then somewhere between week 3-6 he starts getting those nagging hamstring/groin injuries and drops off.

He didn’t have these injuries as much when he played ILB

Kendricks busted for weed. Lots of NFL players smoke and frankly it should be legal but packer players need to do a better job not getting busted for it. Its really not that hard.
One simple solution is to not drive around smoking weed. Stay at home and watch some netfix or take an uber.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

What a disaster the Packer free agents have been. May as well cut Kendricks now so he can join the Patriots.

Maybe that's the reason they don't sign free agents.

Still living in that dream world? Yeah, me too. But I think in the back of our minds, we all know that it'll remain the status quo going into 2018...
