    I'd love to see a gamble taken on Dez Bryant. If they could get him on a mostly performance based/pay-to-play contract he'd be worth it.

    Possibly...but fairly clear they expect more production from the about 6 receivers they have for next season.

    I think this is it. They expect more from Lazard, mvs and with st brown coming back and fuchess added, funnily enough the patriots with a similar wide receiver group didn’t draft any wide receiver either, so maybe this group is deep but not as highly touted. In terms of the draft, I think we will be leaning more in the run game and use allot more play action. I like the guard from Michigan

    Don’t forget Kumerow TE Sternberger, the punt return guy, and AaaronJones can catch too.

    I guess Funchess won't be making much of an impact this season anyway...

    Understandable from his point of view, but a big shame. Was looking forward to seeing how he fit into our system.

    Yes, but not the worst guy who could opt out

    Respect his decision, but really not a season changing event.

    Oooooooookaaay

    Almost ready to rumble

    Let’s look at the O-Line

    As I see it

    Bachtiari....Jenkins....Linsley....Taylor....Turner.

    Wagner seems injured but how does that look.

    Now moving on..... any ‘big names’ likely to be cut tomorrow Sat.

    Go Packers....

    Turner has a knee injury, likely to miss at least some of the season

    Right side of the line looking very ropey to me, especially playing Minnesota week 1

    Very good win. I didn't think we would go to Minnesota and come away with the win to be honest.

    Run defence was sh1t again. D kept coughing up scores too. Great to see the offence rolling like that.
    A win on the road against a divisional rival....I’ll take that!

    good performance from the offence, a bit of everything which is nice to see. i don't want to tempt faith but Aaron looks back to his old self, the throw to Adams for the first td was a beaut, vintage Rodgers. the defence held the vikings to 10 points over 3 quarters and im hoping they just took there foot of the gas for the final quarter. go pack go.

    Yes, as I saw it too, Kenny Clarke injury was a factor I’m sure.

    However, how the Vikes carved thru the Packers D in quarter four was concerning.

    Thielen roasted Jaire big and I mean big... so let’s not get too cocky.

    I'm going with the "no news is good news" for Kenny Clark at the minute. Hopefully that's the case!

    Luckily we are hitting the Lions when their injury list in the secondary is fairly long.

    Would expect a fairly routine win.

    Then the boy Thomas for the Saints is out for several weeks..........

    Anyone think this could be like last season when the Packers racked up a pretty impressive record without being particularly impressive or ever really looking like contenders...

    No, meeting a lot more top tier QBs this year.

    11-5 would be good.

    I'd agree with this. It's a tougher schedule this year so I wouldn't expect the record to be as impressive as last year. In saying that, I think we're in better shape than previous.

    Kenny Clark out for Lions.......hopefully won’t make a huge difference.

    What the Packers have to do

    1....Get to Stafford

    2... Stop Peterson.

    Would make it much easier.
