Why didn't we trade for Marshawn Lynch again?

What was the deal breaker again? a 3rd rounder? a 4th rounder?

even a blind mouse finds cheese. he had one good game so what

1 74 yard run? Didn't BJax do something like that?

After that run, I knew it would be a thread today. Other than that, what's done is done. Let's not play "I told you so!"

YEAH we should have signed Connolly too! Can you imagine that 300pnd+ juggernaut returning kickoffs as a Packer? SWEEET!!! I don't know what the hell TT is thinking he should be fired for not picking him up, never mind his epic failure involving Lynch!

/sarcasm

Don't be dissing TT for the failed Lynch trade, he tried, Buffalo wanted more than a 4th rounder or 3rd rounder, they also wanted a player too. They knew Green Bay would have more to trade than Seattle. And TT has done an amazing job with depth for our team, so shut up haters. We have 6 running backs on the roster not including Grant.

According to nfl stats we rushed 3.8 yards per carry this season. Lynch rushed 3.5 yds per carry for Seattle. We fumbled 4 times in 16 games; Lynch 3 times in 12.

As bland as our running game is, he was worse.

That was a great run though.

Most experts felt that the Packers should have obtained Lynch.
And comparing Marshawns stats in Seattle is unfair. Their OL was horrible.
If you watched their games instead of just the stat line, you will see that Lynch was often hit by 3 defensive guys in the backfield. Anyone else watch any Seahawk games? You saw that.

Anyway, the main reason why they felt the Packers should have gotten Lynch is to keep the defenses honest.

You think D-coordinators worry at all about Bran Jackson, or John Kuhn, Jim Starks? They don't, and that's why good defenses like the Bears are able to keep their safeties back, and their LBers are able to clog the seams.... because they simply do not respect our running backs. That's made Rodgers passing windows smaller than ever.

Now, the flip side there is that since defenses are sitting back a bit and not respecting our runners, we need to take advantage of that and hit their asses with some big runs... a heavy dose of James Starks I hope today. He's capable of making them pay.... looks to be able to hit some home runs.

Lynch has 1 good run the entire year and now everyone wants him on the team again? ridiculous!

Worst.thread.ever

Did you see jsonline do a write up on lynchs run last night in the packers section? Just as bad as some of the posters on here

This is about as productive of a conversation as, what would do if you won the lottery??

It's pointless. Let it go. He's gone. We missed him. Case closed.


Lock 'er up!!

I knew this thread was coming...but hey like LTF said we have a game in 6.5 freaken hours!!!! Screw lynch let's go packers beat some eagle arse!!!

YES. It's crazy...I'd say 80% of the users there are ridiculous =[

Right, but it's no excuse that our o-line's run blocking has been horrible and that Jackson also get's hit by 3 defenders in the back?

Have YOU seen and Packers games? If so, you would see Jackson dealt with the same circumstances Lynch did, so can we please stop with the "We should have traded for Lynch" bullshit now?

Why are people so hostile this is a discussion, we know where not getting lynch hes a hawk now. In that game last night lynch showed he was a good rb he broke (ALOT) of tackles. what i think alot of guys was trying to say if we had lynch do to our O-line it would have been pick your poison sorda like what we had with grant. Imo i think marshawn is better than grant more shifty and power.

Lynch is nowhere near grant. It's funny how one 67 yard run (longest of his career) makes ppl want lynch, why wasn't anyone saying this when he had 13 carries for 8 yards a couple weeks ago???

remember when everyone wanted to trade hawk for lynch?
