**Glazer Reports Lynch traded to Seahawks**

This is true, CAPack... I wasn't thinking. But I believe I would be OK with a 3rd rounder for a proven RB... especially given the current state of the backfield.

And a 4th rounder in 2012. It would have taken 2 picks. Not one.

Yes, absolutely.

Hmmm they also cut Evan Dietrich-Smith. That doesn't say much about him.

BTW Can one of those that think Thompson needs to be fired please explain to me why Marshawn Lynch is so great?

Never averaged more than 4.1/carry in his career. In his two "big" seasons he averaged 4.0 and 4.1

Not exactly amazing numbers really. So, why is this guy so great? Numbers seem like barely above average - a serviceable back.

What gives?

I think ARod will begin working his way out of Green Bay after this. He'll be Brett's replacement in Minnesota. It's all getting clearer and clearer now!!!

This thread is a hoot. Cant believe the, uuhhhhhmmmmm, discusion, over a fairly decent RB.

One for the archives. IBFTL

The Pack will somehow survive this injustice to humanity by not trading for the reincarnation of Walter Payton.

Maybe we should send the Lynch Mob after Teddy or at least his dog.

Now Forsett and Lynch - teammates at California - are reunited in Seattle. Lynch was a groomsman at Forsett's wedding earlier this year.

Gave us some fodder to post about at least.

On the story at JSONLINE, there are already 509 quality comments.

So it took two 4th rounders, eh? I'm sure it will come as no surprise that I'm bummed we didn't make that deal.

I wonder what deal was that the Bills backed out of last week?

These are the 4th round picks Thompson has made:

marviel underwood
brady poppinga
cory rodgers
will blackmon
allen barbre
jeremy thompson
josh sitton
tj lang

here are the 3rd rounders since people are of the opinion it would've taken a 3rd to get him

abdul hodge
jason spitz
james jones
aaron rouse
jermichael finley
morgan burnett

There are 2 budding stars - Sitton and Finley. Lots of busts - underwood, rodgers, barbre, thompson, hodge, rouse. Spitz is a decent backup, same for Poppinga, Jones is a solid #3 WR and Lang and Burnett still get incompletes (although Burnett looked good).

They still would have gotten a good player back to play this season. They also will likely have 2 third rounders in the upcoming draft.

I'd rather be collecting Lombardi's than draft picks, but maybe that's just me. If the Packers somehow win the Super with what they have at RB, I'll eat my share of crow, but I highly doubt it will happen.

At least we have established at least two facts now:
1. The Bills were showcasing Lynch and looking to move him.
2. The compensation was right there in that 3rd round pick range.

This is of course assuming Buffalo wanted to make a trade with Green Bay.

I guess with Lynch, the Lombardi was guaranteed.

I love the assumption that Lynch = SB title automatically as well. I'd have paid that price that was published if that's what GB could have paid, and I'm not happy it didn't get done. Let's stop with the GB would win the SB without a doubt BS to serve as a faux foundation for arguments - there's enough to bitch about as it is.

You guys have some serious problems with reading comprehension. I've said repeatedly that not having a respected running game - or running back - reduces our odds to the point where it's a long shot at best. However, improving the RB situation, improves the chances for a Super Bowl. NOT guarantees.

I know it's easier for you guys attempt to paint my viewpoint as extreme as possible, but putting words in my mouth isn't the way to go.

I'm no rocket jenious.

If TT doesn't want Lynch at that price, then I don't want Lynch at that price.

Simple.

Not sure how it's possible to misinterpret or slant this...

So, unless GB wins the SB, you'll retain your right to be pissed. What did I miss?

IMO, Lynch would've made the Packers a better team and given them a better shot to get to the Super Bowl. We'll see if Ted's right. He better be because another one and done in January could cost him. 1 playoff win in 6 years shouldn't be good enough for Murphy.

Hate to interrupt the mass , but I'm personally more concerned that we just lost a promising cover safety for the season AND our best coverage ILB for an undetermined period of time.

Before anyone counters that a more explosive RB is going to help TOP, check out the stats against the Bears.

And the reason TOP (and the game itself in many ways) wasn't at least a bit better against the Lions was that we kept giving the ball back to them in the 2nd half and the defense was gassed...and we still didn't give up a 2nd half TD.

Anyway, carry on.

It would have taken the Packers more than a 3rd to get him. As crazy as the Bills are, that for them, they to fill a lot of holes and realized that 2 picks are better than 1.

Changing an existing thread title is revisionist history.
Why not make a new thread when news breaks?
I clicked on 6 pages and couldn't find where the story broke -LAME.

As far as Lynch goes that ship has sailed. Either price was too high, he wasn't Packer People or both.

Page fifteen.

Nine pages of nearly wall-to-wall estrogen since.

1.) Packers lose Morgan Burnett for the season.

2.) Packers may lose Chillar for an extended period of time.

3.) Packers fail to acquire Lynch.

4.) Queens trade for Randy Moss.

And the topper...

X4 Admin's can't create a separate thread correctly forcing posters to undergo extended clicking/carpal tunnel.

Got it.

You just can't make this schit up.

We're fresh out from happy hour earlier. Time to place another order..

I hope they're paying you the $2 to drink it.

Don't forget to pick up the Vagisil on the way home. We'll need gallons of it if all of PBoi's list comes true.



We should also institute that new X4 name tag program.

I can't blame the Packers for being hesitant on him, his track record is really sketchy. I also wouldn't be surprised if Buffalo decided that a 4th round pick from the Seahawks might be more valuable than a 4th from the Packers because the Seahawks 4th might come long before the Packers'. Maybe they only would accept a 3 from the Packers. Who knows...

The guy I definitely would love to be a Packer would be D'angelo Williams, but I live in a world of reality, and that one just isn't gonna happen without a Herschel Walker type deal.

Tecate is a nice Mexican beer. Best on hot days after hiking/running or busting your ass in the yard. Tasty for a lighter beer. Outstanding beach beer.

Also...

We should conduct inspections all week to ensure all scissors, pencils, pens, matches, stale dorritos, Q tips, etc are removed from X4.

Have everyone fill one of these out and leave it at the door.

I was teasing.

There was a 12 pack of Tecate (and others) in the fridge in the RV on the drive from the ATL to NO for Super Bowl XXXI.

And I was the only person drinking it.
