On The Stock Sale, Erik Walden, and Desmond Bishop

by Brandon on Dec 28, 2011 7:01 AM CST in Green Bay Packers News

Packers Sell Nearly 250,000 Shares Of Stock - SBNation.com. I'm proud to be a shareholder of the Green Bay Packers, and help the team build a stadium addition. Even if I have no chance of getting a season ticket out of it. Now I've got to get a frame for my new share.

Green Bay Packers news | Trial date set for Packers LB Erik Walden in domestic disturbance | Green Bay Press Gazette. The pre-trial hearing is on February 13. He faces up to 90 days in jail. The punishment by the NFL might even be more severe.

Packersnews.com | Green Bay Packers | Insiders Blog " Capers on Bishop: Good first step, still has some rust. He missed the last three games, and he played like it at first. He seemed a little lost, and had trouble getting off blocks. He looked better as the game went on, so I've got no worries about him going into the playoffs. D.J. Smith is a promising rookie, but I'd rather see Bishop starting.

would gladly pay a few extra bones for a nice Packer themed frame

But may have to go to the local trophy shop and just have them put something together. Anyone know of something offered out there?

Does the shareholder part of the Packers Pro Shop have anything?

I’d check myself, except I still haven’t received anything related to my purchase – got a purchase confirmation number, and my dad received the share I bought him, but nothing for me, yet.

Eh, other than DL4E they've been nice

And yeah DL4E is delusional nut his team is finally good after a billion losing seasons, let him enjoy it and ignore him. Either way, always leave a battle in another thread in the other thread, so let’s drop it.

So, Lions will probably meet the Saints..

Which means the Pack probably will get the Giants/Cowboy/Falcon winner..

Sound right?

Still too much up in the air to say for certain

Supposing everything goes as expected, the Lions will face the Saints. I don’t necessarily think that the Saints have that as an automatic win. It will be tough for the Lions to win, but I think they’ve at least got a chance. Stafford plays better in domes, so at least the venue itself won’t have too much of a factor for him (though the fans inside might).

I'd think so too..

but didnt they (the Lions) just get throttled there a few weeks ago? Maybe Satfford was hurt?

Not sure who I want to see in first round. Probably Falcons or Cowboys

Different game means different results.

I think that Stafford was still wearing the glove at that time (not sure about that), but even so, past games mean nothing once postseason hits. Last year, during the reg season, the Falcons beat the Packers at home; the Seahawks beat the Bears on the road, and the Bears beat the Packers at home. Those results were all reversed come playoff time, and those were just off the top of my head. Throttlings are also meaningless, as the Patriots & Jets proved last season, where the games at Foxborough were quite different from the reg season to the post season. NE won 45-3 in the reg season, but lost 21-28 in the postseason.

Maybe..

I guess I think it’s still a claimer vs a stakes horse. I could be wrong..

as I said, could be way off. It will be an interesting game for sure.

I'd definitely think the Saints have a 75% or better shot at winning

Should be an interesting game, if it happens.

I think I'd rather see SF-Det, from an entertainment perspective, though.

I think it would be better for the Pack if SF is the 2 seed

Schwartz-Harbaugh II would be hilarious, though.

I think that was his first game without the glove

not entirely sure though

I don't think they're overrated at this point in the season, it's pretty obvious they suck

They didn't really get throttled

If the Lions cut down on those stupid penalties in that game, they actually would have had a shot at winning it. The Saints never put them away in that game.

by Shoes31 on Dec 29, 2011 9:06 AM CST up reply actions

Maybe throttled was an overstatement..

but Saints were up 24-7 at the half. Lions did close to 24-17 and had the ball, but I don’t think Saints ever trailed.

the Lions were never in any danger of winning that game

I absolutely think the Lions have a realistic shot against the Saints in the playoffs

the Lions can keep up with any of the high scoring teams if they play a good offensive game, they’re capable of putting up major points in a hurry, as is to be expected when you’ve got Calvin Johnson

Got one Packers share for my dad and one for myself...

…My dad isn’t really a Packers fan (although I suppose that may now change), but he always said he wanted me to buy him a football team when I was rich and famous. Part of that formulation is seemingly unlikely to occur in the near future, so I did what I could.
