Yes.
Way to go, Packers!
Great job to win on the road in a (usually) hostile environment.
Everybody rest and heal and be ready to take care o' business next Monday night. They might even get to play JA for some snaps to get him back up to speed for the stretch run vs the Vikes and Bores.
@titmfatied posted:He likely isn't, but I think that's just his baseline. Makes it a real tough call on giving him a second contract. Some people just come with factory settings that make them unpredictable. Packers are going to want protecton clauses in that contract or he'll be on his way.
My concern is with his mental health. He seems like someone who really struggles. I hope the team pays a lot of attention to it.

I think they knew since the day they drafted him. He went in the 4th because of some pre draft concerns. I think it's a miracle a guy like that can perform as well as he can. The man has a supernatural ability to focus on the field during live action at an elite level. Might just be that hyperfocus talent works against him during life's quiter moments. I hope for the best for him whether he stays with the Packers or continues on elsewhere. It's impossible to know the circumstances he's overcome to go this far.
Re-signing second contracts is going to be crucial to moving forward. Have to think 85 and 11 get taken care of before anyone else and then they work things out from there. I feel pretty confident 18 is closer to 87 than anyone else on the roster is or will be to 9. That they're feeding him right now makes me think there's some prioritization going on.

According to the American Cancer Society, the 5-year survival rate for bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma) is around 18% when the cancer is localized to the bile ducts, dropping significantly to only 2% if the cancer has spread to distant parts of the body (metastasized).

Some teams took Doubs off their board after the combine, where he locked himself in his room after the first day, citing food poisoning, but leaving teams to wonder about mental health issues. I still find it suspicious that the day after MLF reveals that he didn't make the proper adjustment to a route as the cause for an interception, he misses practice and is suspended. Not very smart of MLF, given what you know about the player.
@Packwarrior posted:We won going away but made it interesting in the 2nd half. Glad Geno did not play and Sam gifted us one on their side.
Yes, the 6 points they put up with Geno in 38 minutes was a problem that was going to catch up with the Packers.
The soft spoken, big hearted Romeo Doubs. 🙂
Stay strong, stay true to yourself and keep doing what you do.
