Some teams, including the Packers, are having their rookies report tomorrow. Most camps are beginning in earnest on July 25. The HOF Game is on Thursday, August 2nd with the Bears playing the Ravens.

Manziel gets traded in the CFL. No big deal but his new coach is Mike Sherman. I had no idea Sherman is coaching in the CFL.

Did Packers rookies report yesterday? Thought the full squad reported Wednesday this week?

NVM, I see I was wrong now!

I'm going to savor every game we have left with Rodgers. The odds of getting 3 HOF QB's in a row are tiny indeed. Yeah I know it sucks to win just 2 titles with those 2 guys (although I think we win at least one more with AR), but it's fun to at least be legit contenders. Some of you born before the Wolf/Holmgren era. It was rough. Very rough.

How do you guys think our division stacks up? I personally think the Bears will be better then the Lions

Bears got some weapons for Trubisky so if he shows anything they might win some games. I don't think Cousins is all that but their defense is still good. Detroit is average at best.

Entitled Packer fans are the worst. I've never known an extended period of time that the Packers have been "bad", save for the random non-playoff season once every 7-8 years. It's a god damn privilege to watch this organization considering that I also force myself to watch the Bucks and Brewers.

You'd think with many of us also being Bucks fans many would be able to appreciate the Packers more.

I've experienced what two or three??? sub .500 season since I've started watching football as a kid with two championships and many other years in contention..... I've seen the Bucks win a PO series once.... 17 years ago..... when I was still in HS.......

It's why I've stated many times on the Bucks board no matter what happens some fans will bitch and moan no matter what. Precedence has already been set

Cousins is good but really not better then what they got last year out of the position. They'll be good. Could see the Bears and Lions flip flopping in the division but really that just means I see one as a 5-11/6-10 team and the other as a 7-9/8-8. Flip a coin for which will be which

Bielema was officially hired by the Pats as a "consultant to the HC." :lol:

Yeah really, it's like getting to watch the best QB to ever step on a football field every Sunday isn't enough for these people. These entitled clowns actually expect trips to Super Bowls too on top of that?? I swear, these idiots will never be happy until Aaron Rodgers plays in more Super Bowls than Trent Dilfer.

Fair attempt at sarcasm. But you kinda just proved his point.

(btw Favre played in more SBs then Dilfer and the entitled fans in question still consider that a sin against humanity so probably not the best example)

Ya I'm at peace with it. I'm just thankful I got to see both qbs bring home the trophy.

I grew up as a kid thinking beating the bears once was a successful season. My expectations were so low. Things were so bad. I would watch the second half of games just hoping we could cross the 50 yard line.

It was like watching the Brent Hundley Era but for more than a decade.

That dynasty that came together in the early 90s was incredible and it was a joy to watch it unfold and experience the journey.

Same for the Rodgers superbowl journey.

Am I the only one that thinks the Rams are going to end up making a mistake when they give Donald "QB money"?

Great player but paying that much money, over an extended period of time, to a guy that makes a living battling against 2 other 300 pound men at once rarely will be a good long term investment.

Not saying he doesnt deserve to get PAID. But if its 20 guaranteed with huge guaranteed money (which you'd assume it would be) that's a huge risk for a guy who takes hits to the body every snap hes on the field

Idk, dude may legit be the best defensive player in football. I usually wouldn't touch any skill position or defensive player at that price tag, but he's probably one of a handful of guys that you just say screw it and pay the man. He's also been incredibly durable (only missed two games in 4 seasons).
