P.S.
I'm retiring "Up the road" from Arizona State.
I win.
You should have been a professional athlete.
Is that some kind of euphemism Keelya?
Like I know what that word means?
Look at my damn GPA.
As I said perfessional aflete.

I guess that means TT is going all out to resign Cobb since his replacement was waived.
Gillett was active in the NFC Championship game.
He just got open this moment.

I've determined you continuing to think I'm a huge Pac 12 guy simply because of my user name or because I picked Oregonis funnier than chicky thinking I was a huge Angels fan because of my user name even though I posted all over the Brewers board.
I attended and have degrees from 2 different Big Ten schools. BS in Engineering from Illinois and an MBA from Michigan. I couldn't give a rip about Pac 12 football, other than watching it like any college football game. And, let's be honest, anything is more interesting to watch than Illinois football.
But, just because I'm a Big Ten guy doesn't make it less funny when the annual DRAFT EVERY BADGER cacophony starts up.
Rip the Pac 12 all day. Couldn't care less.
That said, if I could do it all over, I would so go to Arizona State. Weather, girls, easy schooling, girls, great campus, and girls.
Careful CAP, ASU leads the nation in STDs. 2 of those girls probably have chlamydia 
In 2015 we need to do four things:
1 - Find a competent ILB.
2 - Fix red zone play calling.
3 - Replace special teams coach.
4 - Retain Bulaga.
I love Cobb, he is clutch and versitial, but he isn't a top 10 wr outside of GB, NE or Den. If he demands that kind of money, we role with Abby in the slot and Jordy / Adams out wide. With our ground game and QB we don't require two game breakers at WR to be a top offense. We do require an O line for Rodgers.

I get the feeling the Giants are going to make a strong run for Bulaga and drive his price up to something TT won't be willing to invest. The Giants are absolutely desperate for offensive line help and I'm sure McAdoo will be singing Bulaga's praises to anyone who will listen.
I think the Packers advantage with making a decision on Bulaga is they know his entire medical history since he's been in the NFL. Not just what a team can determine from a one time physical, but the details of how he was during his rehab and how his repaired body actually held up this year.
I certainly hope he's back. He's not just the starting right tackle. He'd be at LT pretty quick if anything happened to Bak. Have to figure that increases what GB would be willing to pay.
According to Over the Cap we have two sixth round compensatory picks headed our way.
Projecting the Compensatory Draft Picks for 2015
overthecap.com
Compensation over 32-pick limit; not awarded
GB 7 Marshall Newhouse $805,000 GB 7 CJ Wilson $795,000
How much do the Packers lose for signing Peppers?
You don't lose picks for signing FAs.
Otherwise TT would never sign any!
You lose picks for signing guys that go into free agency after their contracts expire. But the Bears released Peppers, so I don't think he counts in the compensatory selection formula. Same thing with Letroy Guion, the Vikings released him.
Correct. Guion & Peppers were released. No comp picks for their previous teams
Thunderbird, I'm not sure if any of those girls have chlamydia but they all seem to like two in the pink and one in the stink 
Thanks, PackerJoe and Boris. I knew the formula had to do with free agents lost vs. free agents signed, but forgot that Peppers and Guion had both been cut.
I used to live close to ASU. Yes, those female college co-eds are mighty fine there!!

No draft guru here, but I believe you lose potential compensatory pick(s). You would lose regular draft picks if you sign a restricted free agent. You are correct about Peppers' and Guion's status.
****. i think one is my niece. plays on their softball team too.
There is some serious male/female gene pool inequality in that pic.
@RobDemovsky: Change in plans for the #Packers today. McCarthy's last presser/assistant coaches postponed due to a personal matter within the staff.
@RobDemovsky: I'm told this is a non-football matter the #Packers are dealing with.
@RobDemovsky: Stop with the coaches-are-getting-fired Tweets. Like I said, this is a non-football, personal (not personnel) matter.
@jasonjwilde: Just spoke with #Packers PR man @JTWahlers. Very serious matter relating to one of the coaches. Completely non-football, non-work related.
I know I'm disappointed about how this year ended, but I'm still going watch GB football next year.
but notice who's in the pic, boss? Cobbs ain't goin' nowhere.
Only the biggest drooling dip****s around here think Cobb won't be back

Me too! That game really hurts bad and I mean bad. That doesn't change the fact that we root for a professional sports team that is the epitome of what a sports team should be. The Green Bay Packers have more class and tradition than any other team in football and maybe professional sports all together. That keeps me coming back every year, win or lose. Go Packers!
One poster, who I called out yesterday, was complaining that he has only witnessed two super bowl wins. Boo F'n Hoo. I live in Pennsylvania and am surrounded by Eagle fans. Imagine being a fan of that catastrophe. I'll be more than happy cheering for the Packers next year.

And looking at next years schedule I foresee 2 Sunday Night games, Dallas and Seattle at Green Bay. I also see the Packers @ Lions on Thanksgiving Day. Lions at Packers will be the week 17 game again. Maybe a Monday Night game of Packers @ Cards. Also Packers will open at Chicago and give John Fox a rude introduction as Bears head coach.

Keep Rodgers healthy, unlike 2013, and 2014.

I think the first game will be at Green Bay, so week 17 is out. I hate Thanksgiving games vs. the Lions. The Packers, who have played more Thanksgiving road games, deserve the third game in Lambeau on Thanksgiving Night,

Under MM with the exception of 2011, MM's teams have began rather slow. This season we went 2-3 and the Boss was claiming season's over.
A single win more and we would hosted these mo fo's at Lambeau. McMarthy has gotta find a way to start fast out of the gate. Way too many lethargic starts to the season

Almost makes up for the colossal choke job.
The ex-Badger I think TT would be most likely to draft is not Gordon, but a later pick on Rob Havenstein. He's versatile enough to be a swing lineman with Tretter as a rookie and could probably become a starter in the near future somewhere.
Barclay's just a guy as he lacks athleticism and size, though I have a soft spot for him.

I don't know about that. If you look at how MM's teams have played in the last quarters of seasons, they're usually peaking around that time. At least vs. some doldrums earlier in the year. I think he has a really good sense of where the team is at during the season and how to get it to hit its stride going into the playoffs. Come out of the gate fast and you risk burning out fast too. Look at a lot of the teams that go on win streaks out of the gate and then flop in the second half of the schedule. One more win would have been all we needed to get HFA but really, it was all there in WK16 vs. BUF.
Havenstein is having a hard time at the Senior Bowl right now.
Everything I'm reading since I posted that is Havenstein is showing well at the Senior Bowl, including being about the only guy to shut down Nate Orchard at all. He's never been an early-round pick but he's huge and smart.
There's no way they can move to #1. If Mariotta somehow fell to around #10, then sure, they could probably do it (and still cost a relative fortune) but moving up from #20? No way in Hades.
One player who struggled was Wisconsin right tackle Rob Havenstein. In the run blocking one-on-ones, Penn State's Deon Barnes shed Havenstein to get in the backfield before Shelton tossed him into the turf with force. In a rematch, Havenstein held Barnes to get a win.
Havenstein did get a win locking up Harvard linebacker Zach Hodges, but he lost a number of pass rushing one-on-ones. Utah defensive end Nate Orchard beat him with a bull rush and Arizona State defensive tackle Marcus Hardison got by him with speed. In the run scrimmage, Havenstein was pushed backward into the backfield by Kentucky defensive end Za'Darius Smith.
