on attitude...getting 12 and ALL his disciples out of the building was huge. the MLF offense finally got installed. a coachable QB1 was installed to run it. everyone knew they'd have a big part to play in the offense (no more rookies to ignore...no more ignoring the middle of the field...and EVERYONE using the same playbook once and for all). no more eye rolling, no more doghouses, no more pettiness.

[@WoodyZappa1]

No more freakin’ hand signals that the rookies have to piece together like they’re on a fraternity pledge scavenger hunt. Sammy Watkins was released within a week of being quoted in the Atlantic article , a piece 12 called “horse$hit” and his Barney Rubble pal, McAfee, trashed without reading it. Man, do I ever not miss that Diva.

[@gbgary]

@@WoodyZappa1 lol...absolutely!

[@TheBrotherHoodSports]

So much different than when Favre left. I started to hate 12.

[@williamhermann6635]

@@TheBrotherHoodSports Same. I think everybody got a little annoyed with Favre's "will he or wont he retire" thing at the end, but we all still loved and respected him. Rodgers was different. He was sucking the joy out of Green Bay Packer football and as a fan who spends a lot of money on tv packages, tickets, hotels, and travel expenses every football season, Rodgers' increasingly selfish behavior became unforgivable. Probably should've traded a year earlier when he had his petty little holdout.

[@Rayven_cat]

Gutey handled it perfectly

[@ThomasZupan-kv3pe]

Good morning Packers 😎 Fan's

[@victorreyes3029]

Haven’t been interested listening or reading Packers news since Ray nitchke left packer report, Pete you changed all that keep up the great work!👍

Peter is the best!!! Huge fan!

The Green Bay Packers receiver Christian Watson feels like he is 100% after hamstring injuries derailed his 2023 season, and he’s confident fixing an “asymmetry” problem discovered during a visit with hamstring specialists at UW-Madison will give him a better chance to stay healthy and avoid injuries in 2024 and beyond. Christian Watson said building symmetry in the strength of his legs is the key moving forward. He also said lingering weakness resulting from past injuries likely contributed to the asymmetry. Now, building strength to create balance is the goal, and it’s working so far. Christian Watson was on the field as a full participant during QTA’s on Tuesday. Christian Watson missed the 1st 3 games of the 2023 NFL season with a hamstring injury and then re-injured his hamstring against the Kansas City Chiefs in early December, which forced him out of the final 5 games of the 2023-24 regular season. Christian Watson has missed 11 games in 2 NFL seasons. Our head coach Matt Lafluer has said that Christian Watson is in “a really good place” at this point of the offseason workout program. Can Christian Watson continue building strength, find symmetry, avoid fatigue and stress and eliminate the injuries that have prevented him from being a consistent difference maker for the Green Bay Packers? A 6-4 receiver with elite speed and athletic ability, Christian Watson has proved he can create big plays and score touchdowns when he’s on the field. Now, he’s armed with the information required to stay on the field. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛

[@yoyo-ml3dx]

Watson if when he is on the field not bothered by injury is their most explosive wr probably their best wr when he is healthy Jordan Love having Watson for a full season would be scary

[@cell9899]

I don't mean to be a pessimist but he's injury prone. He's gotten injured during training camp, during games. I can't trust him. When he is healthy, he's not one to fight for air balls, he wants them right at the tip of his fingers. He's missing that hustle required to win 2 on 1 or 1v1s

[@Blonkinman]

24 season is the year this changes!

[@packback7045]

Awesome show

[@thetruthis5981]

Fundamentally and skill wise Dontayvion Wicks is the best receiver of the group. Watson just has speed but his route running is not that great. His speed disguises his other flaws

[@shanepeterson3085]

I mean I got a signed Christian Watson jersey for a reason

[@brentinnes5151]

you definitely not stupid

[@Rayven_cat]

Year 3 is when receivers bloom.

[@jdb2722]

The big problem with Watson is his connection with Love. Well the hamstring too

[@attilathorbjornsson1519]

I'm excited to see Kesean Nixon again this year, he's been great since arriving 2 seasons ago! Exciting to see our whole ensemble this year, I have great hopes and faith in this Packers team!💚💛💯🍻

[@ddamrow1975]

Why isn't the 'cast on Amazon Music anymore? Is it coming back?

[@cmstache]

Unlikely. Google and Amazon hate each other.

[@victorreyes3029]

I hope and pray all them playoffs and conference losses over the years Has built up, ENOUGH it is time, not to take anything from Kevin Greens comment.

[@Pccpy]

I don't think any D in the NFL can stop this Packers offense if Watson is fully healthy.

[@TimSpangler-rd6vs]

You stole my phraseology. I said Watson was X Factor last week.You owe me royalties

[@TimSpangler-rd6vs]

POTENTIALLY Watson is vastly superior to MVS

[@christiano0426]

Is J Reed really a big leader in that locker room? Where did we find that out ?

[@tom62Football]

Bo could take the top off. Watson needs to be there stop being so tight. He needs to slow down a touch to get a way from hamstring injury.

[@Lootbot90]

Hopefully he will play more than a few games.

[@rigitdigit]

Id take Wicks over Watson any day.

[@corrinnesawyer4676]

Smart man

[@kathykorbel1101]

Detroit has the same motivation to win.

[@drink_with_the_dead]

You must live a very sad life. Honestly, you're acting like a very troubled person... Being Here everyday just to troll. Actually spending your time on something you don't even like...everyday! Just go be happy somewhere!

[@jankelsey9738]

They definitely do, even though they have comparable offensive talent GB’s QB is clearly better & their offensive talent is much deeper, although less proven but equally talented. Both defenses are the question marks, however again, GB has much more depth and less question marks. It’s going to be a dog fight for the division title this year with injuries always being a factor; GBs overall depth will take this team over the top.

[@LLcLL314]

Window was last year. Holmes drafted his defensive talent one year too late. Goff regresses this season, his prime is over.

[@rlh5870]

Goff still is a good QB. Last two years 4438, 4575 yards. 29 TD’s, 30TD’s, 7, 12 INT’s. Montgomery, Gibbs. Very good tandem at RB. Good WR’s, possible a top 5 TE in LaPorta. Pack and Lions will be top two in NFC North for the future. As a Packer owner, I believe this year will be crucial in our future. If we avoid sophomore slump for the WR’s and Watson’s hammy issues are better, we should go 11-6, 12-5. Also Hafley improves D to top 5-10 will help the O also. GPG

[@AngryCharizard3]

I’m thinking 11-6 for the packers

[@williamglover459]

I’m sorry…..but I’m not a c. Watson fan……I think he’s too streaky and injury prone……

[@travisbaker2001]

Then get off a Packer site

[@brokentubing]

Go Lions
