ESPN is not the only ones crying. I listen to the SCORE all day and watched several podcasts. I, as you, dont think Love is a good enough QB to win a SB for them. I dont think we were one player away from getting to a SB , where GB thinks they are. This is BJs first year as coach, and I want to see the impact he has on the team. It was a big cost to get Parsons, and it may or may not pay off. Would I like to have him, absolutely but just not the time yet . We are capped out going into next year and I know they can play with the contracts but it would mean , if wrong, we will have a problem resigning Caleb if in fact he becomes worth it. Caleb will have to get paid in 2027 or 2028 and those contracts will over lap.

okay, I'll let him know. I dont think his roster has any good values left to take a 2nd one but I'll ask him anyways. He has a league with a live draft on Tuesday with the MyFantasyDraft website and has to do a big board physically. So with the other 5 leagues he's in , he gets lost for time. Also 3 weeks ago he was coming back from Canada fishing and totaled his vehicle but didnt get hurt.(lucky) So he normally would be paying attention more to his leagues.

Chad said he would keep Bowers and lose the 8th (9th round pick) and Justin Herbert and lose the lose the 14th ( 16th round pick)

According to OTC the Packers will have 35 mil in dead cap money over the next two yrs for Kenny Clark. Plus his salary which I havent found yet for this year. He was making 24 mil, but dont know how the new money applies. This is a big risk for GB but if it gets them to the SB , they will be praised for it, if they dont GB fans will be whining for the next 5 yrs. https://overthecap.com/micah-parsons-traded-to-the-packers

Scott said he picked one and Mike wants to keep Brian Thomas Jr that he picked in the 10th. I'll message Chad, he's in 6 leagues to remind him to pick one.

What would it have taken for us to get Parsons? 2 firsts is a no-brainer and being they wanted a DT instead of a DE, it probably would have been Dexter plus another 3rd round pick. 2 1s 1 3rd Dexter

I think everyone was happy we got BJ and all our new coaches. We have not seen one snap of the new season yet. and some people are nervous. I think our preseason showed us a lot of good things going forward. If you want to say KCs starters are better than our starters, I could have told you that 4 months ago. Here is a good discussion by some intelligent people about the trade. David Haugh is annoying so be ready for that.

A little humor never hurt anybody.

Do you mind if I steal (it all starts up front) for a fantasy football team name? I loved when Jim Finks came here and built the team that way.

How many times this year have you said (we should have drafted). I get the criticism of who we have but you cant change the draft by whining every week about who we could have got. I am a Bears cheerleader and hope who we did draft or acquired does well. I accept the reality of what we have and not whine about who we could have had. You act like I never criticize anyone we have and that is simply not true. I will try to whine about our weaknesses more so we can be buddies again.

Za'Darius Smith is the best one available.

I'll talk to them them today and get them for you. I dont think any of them follow this forum.

Actual I never thought of that but playing outdoors in cold weather will affect him. Parsons can get them 15 sacks every year but their success will depend on Love . This does not make them unbeatable. At Dallas they had a high end QB and won but they went no where in the playoffs. A great pass rusher guarantees them nothing especially having to give up a high quality DT.

I dont know if we did enough this year to beat Minny but having a rookie QB will help. Jefferson is not 100% yet and Addison will not be playing. BJ has did well against the Vikings in the past so I think he knows how to scheme a lot of success for us. The big key is will Caleb get the ball out quick because clearly in the preseason targets were open a lot. I think we could win this game but we may not be ready in the first game . I think after the bye week we will look much better.

You're really good at sticking words in my mouth but you get it wrong every time. I dont think Braxton is good enough or do I think we dont need a pass rusher. This is the hand we are dealt with, I love playing fantasy football but not in the real NFL. We wont know until the end of the year if this trade worked out or not. I will put words in my mouth,( If we traded for Parsons we would not get to the SB this year) . We are not there yet in team building. Our defense will get more sacks this year than last year without a great pass rusher. ( that's an opinion not a stated fact) DA will scheme some of them , Booker being hurt is not a good thing but we will still play the games anyway. You say stupid stuff like (Your participation trophy stuff is weird.), It has no context in anything being discussed. .

It made GB a better team but it hurts them going into their future . Teams are going to run the ball against them. We are weak at LT at pass protecting but Braxton is a above average run blocker. We are going to play Dallas this year so we were going to play Parsons anyways , so now two games. I dont think it has as big an impact as most people think.

If we had Parsons I would love it but the two most important points to winning a SB is a QB and coach. I think we have that now. How will BJ counter act a great pass rusher? Run the ball and quick passing plays. If you get the ball out in 2.1 seconds, no pass rusher will get to you. GB thought they were one player away from getting to the SB and they went for it, good for them. I dont think it is quite that simple but like someone mentioned, if they dont get there, it will affect there future in a big way. I would love if we had all pros at every position but NFL football just doesnt work that way. Eagles looked great last year but they didnt have a dominate pass rusher. We are not ready for prime time yet but we should start winning starting this year. Getting Khalil Mack was a lot of fun but it actual only got us one winning season.

Eagles sack leaders last year. Joel Sweat-8, Nolan Smith 6.5, Jalen Carter 4.5, Milton Williams 5, Brandon Graham 3.5

We didnt draft Banks, Ersery or Simmons, so you should probably get over it.

Parsons 47 mil a year. Love 30 mil this year. Gary 26 mil this year The Cap will not be a problem this year but going forward they better win a SB in the next two yrs because the cap will be upside down in the near future. 2 firsts and Kenny Clark for Parsons.

You like to talk, I will bet you 100 that the Packers dont go to the SB this year. We can send the money to Adam to hold. I am willing to lose to you and I would hate to do that.

If he continues making those bonehead plays, he will be turning the spot over to the next guy up.

Your talking about me and answer the question, how many SBs did he win in Dallas? How many SBs has Garrett won in Cleveland, Crosby with the Raiders. Absolutely it would be nice to have him and its sucks that GB got him but we arent going to forfeit the season because of this.
