We can stop whining about Ross:
Packers just announced they have released WR/KR Jeremy Ross.
Cheers!

Problem was and is EDS. Counting on Tretter was not realistic this season.
So, it's ok to count on a rookie, except if he's from Cornell. Cornell players must be in their 2nd NFL season minimum before they can be relied on, because Matt Birk went to Harvard and didn't start right away. Am I getting this right?
1. My original post was that they went into this season relying on EDS at Center.
2. A poster responded and said that's why they drafted Tretter (indicating that Tretter was somehow going to win the spot this year - had he not been injured).
3. I stated that it was very unlikely that a rookie from Cornell would be the starting Center and the team was stuck with EDS for 2013.
4. The poster then brought up Birk.
5. I merely pointed out that this was meaningless as Birk did not start as a rookie, which was the original point regarding Tretter.
I think Henry needs to introduce excalibur to Jaymo!

Needed to be done. Still don't like Cobb on KR.

Bite your keyboard! They might reproduce!
I was surprised when MM put Ross back there for another KO yesterday.
After that muff he was done from my armchair GM seat.
Yep, needed to be done.

First round pick from a big time program with strength and conditioning programs well above what Cornell has.

Yes, but they lost that game.
Yes, but Pouncy was out injured for that game.

To explain the fallacy in that reasoning would set this board back about 9 years.
Will you stop quoting this guy! I put him on ignore and you keep quoting him. Is there no escape from the stupid?

Didn't have much choice...
-- didn't want to use Cobb after losing Finley - depleted receiving options.
-- didn't want to use Franklin - only healthy RB.
I really miss the whining. Any Bear fans want to use this?
Getting this baby warmed up, just in case.
Just once I'd like to enjoy a big win without the Pack getting potentially devastating injuries. Great game and yet knowing that a guy like Cobb may be seriously hurt totally takes the pleasure of a huge win away fom me.

Good call.
I agree Banjo needs to see some more time. What a difference having Burnett makes. Get healthy Hayward.
Clutch win. We have a chance to put a string together.
I got s fever, and the only prescription is more Banjo.
This easily has to be one of the toughest first quarters of a season in a long while. Physical and/or playoff teams. Run game is picking up but Rodgers needs to get his head screwed on right and sync with a new batch of receivers.
Boykins was the only reserve receiver. Myles White is on the practice squad, we'll probably see him next week. TT will have to scour other teams' practice squads. WE NEED MORE RECEIVERS!
Promote White, sign Tyrone Walker if he's available...maybe see if any WRs are on the trading block. Hope like hell Jones comes back at some point. I have no faith in Cobb playing the rest of this season.
There's no magic fixes here, I'm afraid.
Maybe they can make a trade and get Jennings back. Minnesota isn't going anywhere this year.

I agree. It sure looked bad for Cobb. Being wheeled out on the cart usually means the end of the season. I hope Jones can heal up quickly.

TT trade with the Vikings?? No way.

Sorry man, that's a one way street!
I think Jones might miss a week, maybe 2. Looked like a hyper extension. Finley had two huge catches in the 4th and Jordy's TD came with Cobb and Jones on the bench. let's get Boykin a week of reps with the starters. This offense is still dangerous thanks to what's shaping up as a nasty running game.

Yeah, it was more wishful thinking than anything.
Ummm....I have a suggestion.
Make a trade with Cleveland for Josh Gordon.
Yes I'm serious
Josh Gordon is a dynamic talent...that would be pretty cool. I'd be willing to bet he wouldn't be cheap.
I can't see TT bringing in anyone in during the season that would contend for cap dollars or upset the balance of Jordy and Jones very reasonable contracts.
Not sure but are the packers 4 and 1 the last 2 yrs without #52?
Problem with Josh Gordon is he's 1 mistake away from being suspended for an entire year.
