After we all sit here waiting for the Packers to address their receiving situation with Randy Moss, and address their running back situation through free agency or the draft, basically nothing happened.

Not saying it was a bad off-season and draft for the Packers, but any moves made were made with the future in mind, not this upcoming season.

With what the Packers have done up to this point, do you think there is any chance of them having success in the playoffs? Or even making the playoffs?

I think Green Bay is going to look much the same as last season.

No, I don't think they make the playoffs. In fact, I think they're presently the worst team in the NFC North. Even Detroit, God knows how that happened, improved by leaps and bounds.

That is what my take is like. It sounded like they were going to bring in talent just to make a run on the short term and haven't. They will look dangerous one week and dudly the next.

Sorry that division is reserved for the Lion's.

If Greg Jennings is Healthy this season, unlike the second half of last year, the pack could be a 8-8/9-7 team in that division. No other team actually improved themselves very much, except maybe the Lions, and the Bears actually look like they could be a bit weaker. Brett Favre will have second thoughts mostly when he turns to hand the ball off and sees Vernand Morency or Brandon Jackson smiling back at him.

they cant be much worse than samkon gado or noah herron or najeh davenport or tony fisher or .....

It would not have shocked me at all once the draft was over if we had heard Brett Favre make an announcement that he changed his mind and decided to retire.

I really thought that Green Bay would reload for a final run with Favre.

All I can say is, poor Brett

It's his own fault for not bowing out gracefully about three years ago isntead of sputtering along and looking like half of his old self.

In quarterback Brett Favre's mind, the Green Bay Packers could have obtained wide receiver Randy Moss.

"I know what we could have signed him for," Favre told Memphis television station WMC-TV at his annual charity golf tournament Saturday in Tunica, Miss. "We could have gotten him for less money than New England did. He wanted to play in Green Bay for the amount of money we could have paid him. It (was) well worth the risk."

Moss, who was once represented by Favre's agent, James "Bus" Cook, and still has ties to him, was on the trading block before the NFL draft. The Packers and Patriots were the two teams seeking a deal with the Oakland Raiders for Moss' services.

On the night before the draft, the Packers thought they had a deal with the Raiders for a fifth-round pick, but New England stepped in and began making a strong pitch for Moss. Quarterback Tom Brady reportedly spent hours on the phone recruiting Moss, who eventually agreed to a one-year contract with the Patriots.

New England topped Green Bay's offer with a fourth-round pick. The Packers, sources said, weren't given the chance to increase their offer to the Raiders or Moss, although it's questionable whether general manager Ted Thompson would have done either. They were also offering a two-year contract, which wasn't ideal to Moss.

Favre talked with Moss several times leading up to the draft, but he apparently wasn't as convincing as Brady. Still, Favre thinks the Packers could have gotten Moss.

"The last thing I want to do is start anything," Favre said Saturday. "But I think he would have been a great addition. You throw Randy Moss, you throw Donald Driver and you throw Greg Jennings on the field at the same time, and go three-wide receiver set, I think it's pretty intimidating. And we lost out on that, and it's a shame because I know we could have had him."

Favre hasn't spoken to the media since undergoing left ankle surgery after the season, so it was unclear until Saturday how he viewed the Moss dealings and the draft class Thompson added. Coach Mike McCarthy expects Favre to attend a mandatory three-day minicamp beginning Friday, although the quarterback is not expected to take part in practice.

It's not known whether he will address the media during the camp.

In the interview at his golf tournament, Favre said his ankle was doing well.

"I had surgery in February; I could have played the following week - against doctors orders, but I could have played," Favre said. "Rehab's going fine, but everything's up to par right now. I think people who know me, know I will be ready.

"Am I ready at this moment? Probably not quite, but I will get myself ready and I think as they found out in the past, I will do everything I can do to help this team win."

Favre admitted he's not fired up about coming to minicamp, but he said the Packers can expect him to be the same guy he's always been.

"Do I feel like going to training camp and minicamp?" Favre said. "Most of the time no. But I still love to play and I think there are a lot of guys who have retired or have been let go that still love to play but don't feel they can, and I still feel I can play at a high level.

"I love to compete and I love to win and I would hate to give it up and say, 'I could be doing that.' So that's why I'm back."

I was surprised it took Brett Favre this long to say anything, but apparently it didn't take this long after all. According to a Fox Sports report, Brett Favre requested that the team trade him, saying he was fed up with the team.

This thread sounds a little prophetic right now considering Favre's remarks. I was among the many that was excited at the notion that the Packers were going to add talent in the off season. I guess wrs were too expensive.

I am still a little shocked that they didn't get Moss. He was right there for the taking. Apparently, Favre was a little shocked as well, LOL

The dfference between a forth and a fifth in the grand scheme of things is not very big.
