Honestly, the last thing I think of would be any of our players detractors. And with the exception of Stephen A, most people on ESPN usually speak pretty highly of Rayne and Zeke.

Forget about what others say. As long as your happy with their performance, why give a flip ?

Making it the the NFC Championship game is irrefutable proof that they and the rest of the team are achieving,........but like I've said before, the mammoth salaries invite a higher level of scrutiny.

Yeah many have said that but I can't get involved with it. My standard doesn't change with salary. I want every guy on my team to go out there and kick arse. Don't much care how much he's being paid. My level of excitement when they win is not affected by who is getting paid what and neither is my level of depression when they lose. I will never be "he is paid more so he should play better" guy. Anybody that has ever played the game knows the former has nothing to do with the latter. I understand that people often do it and think that way.. I just don't .... and won't.

The only reason I factor it in is not because I personally care what another man makes. It's because a mammoth salary prevents other talent from being acquired through free agency or not being able to resign current players......take the cap away and most of us could care less what a player makes

And most importantly....i don't blame the player.....the contract is on the owner, however if the team reaches the promised land, the thought process was justified.

Dal and Zeke are still playing so the final judgment can't be made yet but with the defense imoroving, there's a real chance of grabbing a Lombardi in the next few years

You need to change Dal to Dak, RonnieT24 is a stickler for that kinda thing! LOL!

Unless the defense gets some points, I do not see us getting passed the first round. It’s just not there vs great teams.

My glass stays half full but.....from what I’ve been seeing of this team last 8-9 weeks there may be a crack in my glass

We won Against five teams this season with winning records at one point. When we lose it stupid loss. Missed field goal.

Since this is the first year of Dak's "mammoth" salary there is no way it interfered with signing anybody who is on the team this year.. In fact isn't his cap hit like 20-21 million this year? We also know that Zeke's cap numbers were relatively low on the first 2-3 years of HIS deal .. so again.. not impacting what's on the field this year. When the team has to be dismantled because of salaries like that team in the late 90's did THEN I will be mad about it. I have yet to see that happen with this group.. The Jones boys seem to have learned their lesson and have constructed nearly all the contracts with relatively painless outs.. I'm good with that..

Just air it out and play defense. I think they can beat the Rams but GB and Tampa scare me.

You want to be peaking going into the playoffs. This team isnt. I predict the draft zone will be a busy place well before the Super Bowl.

If we play a clean game in the first round, I think we can get past the Cardinals. Dak has to play a complete game though.

If it's the Rams, I don't see us winning. I don't like Dak and this offense against the playmakers they have on defense. And coaching matters a lot more in the playoffs. We saw how outclassed we were in that department last time we met them in the playoffs.

Either way, I don't see this team beating the Packers. Rodgers is too good and doesn't turn it over. I don't see this defense faring well against him by forcing punts.

Not getting my hopes up for this team. Haven’t proven a damn thing since probably the Patriots win. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t see much momentum, or improvement on the offense. And now everyone is getting kicked out with that virus. What a bummer year.
