Im definitely not a Packer fan, but I’m kind of glad they had a good showing in the last few weeks. Considering the stink that Karen Rodgers made when they drafted Love, it makes him look like an even bigger ass.

Yeah, Purdy struggled throwing the ball all game until the last drive when he was 6/7. Guess he's never liked throwing a wet ball, even in college.

Lots of chirping by the Packer fans again after not being able to find them prior to week 15 with a search team of St. Bernards. They closed the season well but despite that weren't they like 10-9 for the whole year? Last year the Vikings had a good record and the wheels fell off this year for them. If Cousins stays with the Vikings the Packers are no closer to the Belichick Super Bowl Trophy than the Vikings.

As a final thought on this post... weren't the Green Bush fans calling for the head coach & d-coordinator to be fired DURING the season?

YES THEY WERE!!!!1

now there screaming the NFL is fixed and rigged it for the 49ers to win!!!!!

[Gunner55]

Waah!!!!!!!            

[Gunner55]

  Wide right!!!  The 1st time it was heard was in SB 25 in '91 but it's still the 2 most hated words in Buffalo Bills playoff history. 

[LPS]

Had fun watching games this weekend until the last minute.  LOL

[Gunner55]

  Knew there'd be at least 1 upset plus it's usually pretty hard for me to bet against Mahomes & Company, so I took KC. Seems like they kind of have the Bill's # too.

[Jerkbiat]

It was certainly a back and forth game.

[LPS]

I kicked my own ass for betting against Mahomes but I do like Allen too.  Big tough guy.  Would love to have him here.

[Gunner55]

It's hard not to like how he plays but he his new deal was right there with Mahomes' when he signed it back in August of 2021. Not sure he could've got that here. Josh Allen and the Bills have agreed to a six-year contract extension through 2028, the team announced Friday.

The total value of the deal is $258 million, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, who reported on Inside Training Camp Live that it will average $43 million per year, with more than 50% of the money guaranteed. Allen receives $150 million in total guarantees and $100 million fully guaranteed upon signing, which are each the highest in NFL history. With all the incentives it could be worth $288 mil.

Man that is a lot of money. 

[glenn57]

just think of all the stuff he could buy at Amazon or wallyworld!

[LPS]

Man you got that right!

[Gunner55]

  He'd probably even have enough left over to buy a new battery for his pickup too.    

[roony]

Sounds like the Bill's fans and organization is rivaling the Eagle's for reaching new lows.

Don't you think Josh would jump it a time or two to save money like Glenn???

Have we mentioned yet that this is Mahome's 6th season in the NFL and it is his 6th time in the AFC Championship game?!?  Isn't that unreal?  Just heard it and didn't realize that. 

[Jerkbiat]

That's cool. That's also why I am struggling with who to pick yet.

[Steve-o]

And the Chefs keep winning despite paying Mahomes record breaking money.

Kapt. Kirk says all the right things, but it doesn't bode well when the Vikes hope to get the home town discount when agents are involved.

[dutchboy]

Are the Wilfs clamoring for a hometown discount or the fans?

[KEN W]

Wilf's hometown is in New Jersey. Why should they give a home town here?

[Steve-o]

Call it what you will...  Teams are always looking for the most-team friendly deal they can make.

As a fan, I like to see the GM have as much flexibility with contracts and salary cap as possible to be able to make the team better.

[Gunner55]

No agent involved in Lamar Jackson's new $260 mil/5 yr deal as he's never had 1 & the Ravens are most people's pick to win it all. They have been very good in the draft though as 1/2 their starters have came since the 2020 draft.

[Gunner55]

Falcons have hired former Ram's DC, Raheem Morris, as their new HC.

[LPS]

And you all have heard that Harbaugh will be the new Chargers coach. 

[dutchboy]

My point was I haven't read anything from the Vikings or Wilfs that they expect a hometown discount. As far as I can tell it's just the fans that think Cousins should take a hometown discount. Again, I don't expect him to give one nor do I think he should. I think he should be paid whatever the market will bare.

[Gunner55]

  I believe the whole hometown discount thing originated in Foxboro & it wasn't the team's idea either. TB12 went to them with the contract restructuring idea as he wanted another ring more that he wanted more $.

[LPS]

I think Tommy wanted them to afford good players around him too with the discount money. 

[Jerkbiat]

And I believe it worked for him too.
