Way to go packers!!!!!! You got clobbered by one of the worst teams to ever qualify for the playoffs in 73 years of NFL playoff history. 31-17. Not even close. Even Brett Favre in all his glory and one of the best RB (Ahman Green) could do nothing agst a DEF like that of a DIV I college team. Must be proud to be a packer fan. and it happened at that , "hollowed LAMBEAU FIELD". Way to go Pack!!!! Thanks for lettin' us whip your candy ####.!!!!! Sherman's gone to LSU. Nothing more to look forward to in that dismal sportin' state until next fall. Happy Winter packer fans!!!!!!!! grin.gif

Boy I agree. Its hard to believe that they won the division and that the rest of them in it are even worse.

You know the saying "even a blind squirell finds a nut sometimes"??

Well I guess it fits. It will also be interesting to see if they can sign Wahle and Rivera???

Sounds like Wahle and Rivera are waiting for Farve to decide. If Farve is back, the Pack is in the hunt. If not, I think the Purple will win the division next year. That said, the NFC North will still be one of the worst.

From the packer page....

By Dylan B. Tomlinson

PackersNews.com

Mike Wahle and Marco Rivera are excited about what changes this offseason could bring.

Whether those changes will include either player in a Green Bay Packers uniform next season remains to be seen.

“I’m looking forward to it,” Wahle said. “It’s an exciting part of my life. The uncertainty of it makes it a little interesting, but we’ll see what happens.”

Rivera will become a free agent in March. Wahle is under contract through the 2007 season, but because of salary cap reasons, the Packers will have to release him or owe him a $6 million roster bonus and a $5 million base salary for the 2005 season.

“We put this huge cap number in the middle so they would have to re-sign me or release me,” Wahle said.

If the Packers release him, Wahle will join Rivera in free agency and likely will be one of the most sought-after offensive linemen of this season’s free-agent class. While Rivera is a three-time Pro Bowler, Wahle will be the more coveted of the two since at 27, he is five years younger than Rivera, 32.

Both players indicated a desire to remain with the Packers, but know that may be difficult.

“It’s really up to Mike Wahle and the Packers as to who is going to stay and who’s going to go,” Rivera said. “It’d be nice if they could keep all of us together, but that would be tough to do.”

Rivera has been with the Packers since 1996 and said with the roots he has in Green Bay it would be very difficult for him to leave.

“My family definitely has a lot to do with it. I’ve got three boys, and two of my boys go to school here in town. The decision becomes harder to make,” Rivera said. “If you’re a single guy in this league, you don’t have to worry about moving around. When you’re married and you have a home here and you have boys go to school here, it makes it tougher.”

That said, Rivera said he has to make a decision that will be best for his family, and if that involves leaving Green Bay, he’s prepared to do that.

“This is the part of the business that nobody likes to talk about. The money comes to mind and you’ve got to think about that,” Rivera said. “I’m going to sit down with my agent and my wife and figure out where we’re at and what we want to do. I hope we can come to an agreement. If not, I’ve got to move on.”

Wahle said he’s anxious to see what will happen over the next few months, and said there will a lot of different things that factor in his decision.

“It’s not always about the money. You want to put yourself in a good situation,” Wahle said. “If they want to get me back, they’ll have an opportunity to do so. If they feel like they want to let me go, then on March 2, I’ll have to go find another job. It doesn’t start until March, so we’ll have plenty of time to get something done if they want to.”

Jackson surgery: Nose tackle Grady Jackson said he will have knee surgery in about two weeks to help correct an injury that has plagued him throughout the season. Jackson injured his knee in the season opener against the Carolina Panthers. He then missed five games and also was held out of the season finale against the Chicago Bears.

“It’s pretty bad,” Jackson said. “I could have had surgery when I got hurt. But I refused to. I wanted to still play. That’s why I just kept playing.”

Jackson said he would have the knee scoped initially, but expected to eventually have surgery on the knee. Despite the pain he played with during the season, Jackson said he doesn’t regret the decision to come back when he did.

“I don’t regret it because I love playing football and I couldn’t watch my team play defense and play the way they played,” Jackson said. “I had to do something to come back and help them.”

Pederson’s future: Backup quarterback Doug Pederson spent most of the season on injured reserve with rib and back injuries, and he said he has yet to decide whether he will return or retire.

“I’m not going to make it right away. I’m just going to keep doors open,” Pederson said. “Given everything that’s going to happen this spring at quarterback, with Craig (Nall) and J.T. (O’Sullivan), I think that plays into my decision.”

Pederson said if he decides to retire, he may decide to pursue a coaching job.

“It’s still in the back of my mind. ... I haven’t decided at what level I would want to do that at yet. There are pros and cons at all levels,” Pederson said.

“To me it’s determining which headache you want, which one can you take the most Tylenol and deal with.”

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
