It's a pay site for the most part, so that may have been why he couldn't put the link in the article. See, this is all Duane's fault! :lol: I knew that Dylan writes for them, so I guess I had inside info on that.

If memory serves, he's got about a 2 to 1 interception to touchdown ratio over the last five postseason games. In fact, as the weather turns, I expect them to fall quite a bit.[/quote] Postseason for the Packers has definitely sucked the past several years. As much as I'd like them to win the Super Bowl, I'll take a consistently competitive team instead. No team has won more games over the past ten seasons than GB. Regarding the weather...bring it on. The Packers are toughest when it's colder. The colder, the better.

Part of me actually wishes they would get to the super bowl and get absolutely shellacked by new england, say 55-7....just be embarrased on national tv

Notwithstanding Darren Sharper's rhetoric, I'd give it a 50/50 chance for at least one INT. I doubt there'll be four though. As far as being embarrassed on national TV, the Packers already took care of that with their numbskullery against the Bears. :)

Status: offline 		Donald Lee Contract Cap Ramifications Wed Nov 7, 2007 The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports the Green Bay Packers nailed down a potential unrestricted free agent and moved some valuable salary cap room from this year to next with the signing of TE Donald Lee to a contract extension. Lee's four-year, $11.88 million contract eats up $4.295 million worth of salary cap room in 2007, in part because incentives worth $1.7 million were added to the contract. If those so-called "likely to be earned" incentives aren't earned, the salary cap room they take up will carry over to next season. According to a source with NFL salary information, Lee has to block six punts and play on 65% of the snaps on special teams this season to earn the incentives. Given that he doesn't play on special teams and won't be blocking a punt any time soon, it's virtually guaranteed the $1.7 million of salary cap room will be moved to next year. The Packers have already pushed almost $6 million of cap room into next year using this tactic. Such "dummy" incentives are used by teams that have a considerable amount of salary cap room left near season's end. The Packers now have a little over $3 million left under the cap this year. Lee's contract is structured such that it will pay him $2 million on top of his $595,000 base salary this year, a $1 million roster bonus in March, and base salaries of $1.6 million in '08, $1.8 million in '09, $2.0 million in '10 and $2.2 million in '11. In addition, he will earn $10,000 for every game he is on the 45-man game day active list, beginning next season. Lee also can earn a bonus of $125,000 each year for taking part in a set minimum of off-season workouts. According to a source with NFL salary information, Lee has to block six punts and play on 65% of the snaps on special teams this season to earn the incentives :lol: I love the salary cap :lol:

I think your RB's suck just as much as your OL at this point. I've never thought much of Jackson at all.

However, Colledge is terrible. There was an article this week in the Milwaukee paper about how bad he's been. I wouldn't be surprised if he's replaced next season.

I know I'm biased on him, but he's always been the 'hard worker' type and as such just might take longer than most. For instance, if you had told me coming out of high school that he would be a top G in the country in college, I would have said you were crazy. I think he added something like 80 pounds of muscle over a couple years there. We'll see I guess. Obviously good for my Vikes if he DOESN'T pan out. ;)

Plus Boise State is renowned for their development program. Still takes hard work to do it though.
