Lions won't beat Packers in Green Bay, at least I'd hope not.

Name one "random" turnover that the team has had this season. There are no such thing as random turnovers.

The calls have gone both ways this season. The Packers receivers get raped practically on every play and rarely is anything called.

The Saints are terrible? What about the Giants? The Chargers? The Lions? A team can only play against who they are scheduled. There are no terrible teams in the NFL. Every team can beat any other team.

Do you have a source to back-up that comment? Because you are the first person I have seen say that.

Not only is the GB offense not predictable but they are probably the least predictable in the league. Rodgers throws to 7 to 9 receivers every single game. How in the world is that predictable.

Yeah, because that is how to beat the Packers. Run the ball? You cannot be serious.

I think you need to go play with some dolls or something because football is not for you.

If I had been online, I would have deleted this as soon as this came on the board. When an organization who wins the last Super Bowl with 15 players on injured reserve and then goes undefeated so far this season, and I see a post like this come on the board, a deletion would be pretty easy. But as this post has been replied to by several longtime knowledgeable Packer fans, I'll keep it up. I expect a response however, come Monday morning.

ALSO: This is a team thread. The "sticky" at the top of the page explains what team threads are for on the pro football forum. And I made it clear in the "sticky" that fans of opposing teams can post so long as the parameters of the thread and the TOS is observed.

Packers are making roster moves. Quarless is on IR, Graham Harrell is on the active roster as 3rd QB. They did that last year, moved him from practice to roster towards end of season.

They added a player Jake Vermiglio to the practice squad. Big guy, 6'5, 329, he was released by the Cardinals in August.

OK, now I'm reading the Buffalo Bills were very interested in Graham and he decided to stay with the Pack so they had to add him to the roster. I guess teams can't block a practice squad player unless they sign him to active? I'm not smart on all the ins and outs. Flynn is probably gone this spring, Rodgers would rather have a guy backing him he knows, I'm sure.

It doesn't matter what Rodgers thinks. It's what McCarthy and Thompson think.

The reason I mentioned Rodgers, Graham said in an interview he talked to Rodgers and he felt good that Aaron wanted him to stay. It was Graham's to decide, stay in GB or go to Buffalo, so he stayed.

The Green Bay Packers said Thursday that fans from all 50 states had purchased more than 185,000 shares of stock in the first two days. The team said the organization netted approximately $43 million from the sale after costs for shipping and handling, as well as costs for the call center and website.

Mark Murphy, president and CEO of the Packers, released this statement: "The Packers are tremendously appreciative of the support we’ve received from our fans. The expansion will enhance the stadium experience for fans, increase our team’s home-field advantage and ensures that Lambeau Field continues be a source of pride for fans everywhere. We’re humbled by the response from our fans and their desire to help the Packers achieve long-term success.”

In addition to all 50 states, fans living in three U.S. territories bought shares. That would be Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Shares can be purchased for $250 plus a $25 handling charge. The online site is GREEN BAY PACKERS. Fans also can call 855-8-GOPACK.
