Trade deadline day for Packers fans is like being a Jewish kid on Christmas morning.

Another playoff hopeful adds a player. So far, Buffalo, Baltimore, Houston, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Dallas, Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota, the Giants, Seattle, and San Francisco have all made in-season trades. These trades may or may not make a difference, but at least these GMs are trying.

Will this drop his compensatory value from a 3 to a 4?

OC Adam Stenavich: "The plan was Aaron Banks was our left guard, and Laken Tomlinson was our right guard, and let's see what happens. Zeitler was obviously the next man in. So, Banks went down. Zeitler stepped up, went in there, did a nice job. Now, we're kind of seeing where everyone's at." They're going to fuck this up, aren't they?

This will make Sunday a tougher game for the Packers, but the defense should be fine as long as the rush is formidable. Give Cousins time, and he'll be effective. Pressure the 38-year-old human statue, and he'll crumble to pieces.

Happy trade deadline day, or as Packers fans call it, Tuesday.

Respectfully, I don't give a rat's ass what Stenovich believes. He believed that Jacob Monk was a starting right guard.

I heard someone say Josh Jacobs getting hurt early actually benefitted the Packers on Sunday by forcing Matt LaFleur to keep throwing the ball in the second half. 🤔

Isaiah McDuffie has proven himself to be the ideal backup linebacker. He's good on special teams and holds his own on defense - exactly what a team is looking for in that role.

I assume Laken Tomlinson and Kevin Zeitler will be the starting guards on Sunday, but you know what they say about assuming, especially when the front office and coaching staff have badly mismanaged the offensive line for the past four-plus months.

I don't expect Brian Gutekunst to trade for a running back, but if he does, it should be a smaller back with some twitch and the ability to get to the corner. Someone similar to Aaron Jones. Maybe a back like that would have more success running behind an O-line that just doesn't create much movement at the point of attack.

Brooks to the rescue. 🙄 If Jacobs is headed to IR, no serious GM would let his team go into the next four games with a running back room of Brooks, Kaleb Johnson, MarShawn Lloyd, and Pierre Strong Jr.

I know the first-round pick will be very late, but that's still a very good return for Davis, who's not having a particularly good season and is being paid a lot of money.

The Packers have fought their asses off to be 6-3. GM Brian Gutekunst should reward their efforts by making a move to improve the roster in the next 24 hours. Adding the right player would not only help the team on the field, but it would also be well-received in the locker room.

For a third-string center, John Williams has been more than adequate.

The 10 players who cover kicks for the Packers are: Karl Brooks, Dani Dennis-Sutton, Kamal Hadden, Bo Melton, Nick Niemann, Kitan Oladapo, Benjamin St-Juste, J. Michael Sturdivant, Kristian Welch, and Evan Williams. Why is arguably your best defensive player lumped in with these guys? Surely, somebody far less important can do this job.

Nice job blocking by the right side of the offensive line, the tight end, and the wide receiver. Nice job bouncing outside by the running back. No idea what was happening on the left side.

Brian Gutekunst will have to trade for a veteran running back, won't he? The Packers are paying Josh Jacobs over $10M this season. In exchange, they've gotten 148 yards of offense, 2.2 yards per carry, and the stigma of sticking by a player charged with battery.
