What will the Packers’ first offensive play from scrimmage be against Jacksonville?

A “Hail Mary” to Jeff Janis.

Time is running out for a team of the decade to emerge. Could this be the first decade of the Super Bowl era without a defining franchise?

We still have four Super Bowl champions to crown. I think a defining team will emerge. Who are the candidates? I think the Seahawks are the No. 1 candidate right now, but it’s wide open to a team that can get hot in the final four years of the decade.

And if TT retires GB  has the right to hire away the Seattle GM.  And if he chooses to accept the GB offer he has the right to do so.  Weird.

Did you forget about the ’85 Bears in the conversation about most dominant? I have never seen a team that kicked butt on a regular basis like they did.

Teams in the all-time greatest team discussion must have great quarterbacks. That Bears team didn’t have a great quarterback.

Vic, have you ever seen a fourth-round pick with as high of expectations as Blake Martinez?

Not since David Bakhtiari became the Packers’ starting left tackle when Bryan Bulaga injured his knee on “Family Night” in 2013.

When I read all the negative comments from your readers about the color rush uniforms, I can’t stop but wonder how old they must be. Change is good, people!

If the color rush uniforms are a big hit in Green Bay, I’m thinking of marketing a line of color rush walkers in this column.

The Green Bay Packers have signed S Jermaine Whitehead. Ted Thompson, Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations, announced the signing Wednesday.

Whitehead, a 5-foot-11, 195-pound first-year player out of Auburn, entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the San Francisco 49ers on May 5, 2015. He spent most of his rookie season on the 49ers’ practice squad before being signed to the Baltimore Ravens’ active roster on Dec. 23, 2015. Whitehead was inactive for the final two games of the season and re-signed with the Ravens on April 19, 2016, before being waived on May 13. He will wear No. 35 for the Packers.

Why?  Because the  Bears had a great QB?

No because a great team does not need a great QB, if that team is a great team.

Not having a great QB and being that dominate proves how great a team it was.  If the "team" is driven by one player is it really a great team?

The Ravens winning it all and being dominate with Trent Dilfer also comes to mind as a GREAT team.

We need to define "great TEAM".

Only because Charles Martin body slammed McMahon.  Plus free agency. 

By the way I would take a "one hit wonder" year like that again any day!

And nobody would call Danny and the Juniors one of the greatest bands over the likes of The Beattles, The Rolling Stones or U2.
