That Rodgers tattoo is insanely good. Not the overall theme or anything but the quality is bonkers.

This is the most excited I’ve been for a Packers defense in long, long time. The offense will be interesting too with Adams and MVS gone. To see Rodgers with such a changed WR group. The O line and who plays where after everyone is healthy again. Hope MLF uses a backfield with Jones and Dillon together. The way they both can attack a defense from running or receiving is just to much to not try.

Bahk will be one to watch. I don’t expect him to practice much or play preseason but if game 1 comes around and he’s still not ready to go that’s very concerning. Next year he’ll be 32 and his cap hit will go from $13 million to $29 million. This is either his last season or he’ll have to have a reworked contract to come back in 2023.

They will have to use both together. The play calling must be much more creative without Adams to bail the offense out.

Adams is the best WR the packers have had in decades... but he didn't bail this offense out... Rodgers is now forced to spread the ball around and its MLF's job to utilize everyone. Rodgers rep of not throwing to guys he doesn't trust will be tested. The only guys he trusts are cobb/lazard and cobb stinks.

It will be interesting to see what Sammy Watkins can do... If healthy(BIG IF!), he could have a good year...

If the defense can be top 5, i think rodgers and co only need to score 24ish points a game, play ball control, and rodgers elite efficiency and knack for not turning it over is a recipe for top 3 seed in the NFC. That style of football travels too and I doesn't matter if they have home field (which i hope they don't due to the last 2 failures).

Creative play-calling is about the least of my worries with MLF still manning the offense. If enough of the draft picks hit, this might seriously be the most talented Packers team since 1997.

Adams was a crutch for Rodgers. Adams is amazing so it mostly worked but forcing Rodgers not to have tunnel vision will likely be a good thing.

I think this Packers team can have a top 5-10 defense and a top 10-12 offense. I trust Rodgers and MLF to create a pretty good offense, it will likely fall off from the last 2 years but that should be OK if our defense can make up that ground which seems like a reasonable expectation. That said I am a little worried about our depth on defense. We need Gary & Preston to stay healthy and for Preston not to resort to his play 2 seasons ago. We need Amos & Savage to stay healthy and for Savage to not pull a HHCD and fall off after a promising start to his career.

I think this team can win the Superbowl this year and barring any injuries to 12 is likely a lock to make the playoffs(heck considering how weak the NFC is they might even make it with Love at QB). But there are real concerns to be on the lookout for(as with every team). I think overall though we're probably in that top tier of NFL teams with the likes of Buffalo, Tampa, the Rams, and Kansas City.

Hall signed today so hopefully that means Watson will sign soon.

MLF dropped the ball last season on the Jones/Dillon backfield together. When it was literally right in his face as a mismatch and quick read of the defense. So I don’t trust he’ll do it until I actually see him use it. As all of last year they had a total of 23 snaps together.

I predict that count will triple (barring injuries). I don't know that it should be more than that.

Not at 60+ snaps per game. That number needs to skyrocket. Like 4-5 per quarter. So like 15- 20ish per game. At least 10 per game or it’s under used again.

I see no way that happens. You're asking the coach to change the offensive scheme.

this will be Brown's age 32 season and the last time he was good was 3 years ago. Maybe if he's magically recovered from whatever injury he had.

Name that stood out to me was Sal Cannella. Played decently with the Breakers. I see they just added him to the 90 man just now too.
