In The Arena

Let me make my stance on the Josh Jacobs situation CRYSTAL CLEAR! First and foremost, I’m a GREEN BAY PACKERS FAN! But if that surveillance footage comes out and shows Josh Jacobs doing something absolutely EGREGIOUS, then his ass shouldn’t just be suspended he should be BANNED from the NFL, à la Ray Rice! PERIOD! NO EXCUSES! But until additional evidence warrants further punishment, LET THE MAN PLAY! Here’s what I find interesting… BOTH Jacobs and the victim have fought to keep the surveillance footage from being publicly released. The victim has expressed concerns about her privacy, identity, and potential harassment. Jacobs has raised concerns about footage exposing the layout of his home and creating potential security risks. And before anyone dismisses those concerns, DO YOUR RESEARCH! Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Joe Burrow, and several other professional athletes have had their homes targeted by thieves. The FBI has even investigated organized burglary rings specifically targeting professional athletes! So those security concerns aren’t necessarily unreasonable. Now, let’s be CLEAR! Josh Jacobs pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges. He has accepted responsibility for his actions, faced legal consequences, and already missed games while on the Commissioner’s Exempt List. That DOES NOT mean he should automatically be absolved of any additional wrongdoing if further evidence warrants discipline. But it also doesn’t mean we should automatically assume the absolute WORST without seeing all the evidence! And before Bears, Lions, or Vikings fans accuse me of being biased, my position would be EXACTLY THE SAME if he played for your team! I’m a Packers fan, but I’m a FAIRNESS fan FIRST! We live in a society where people are sometimes so quick to convict someone in the court of public opinion before all the facts are established. ACCOUNTABILITY MATTERS. EVIDENCE MATTERS. FAIRNESS MATTERS. If the evidence warrants a lifetime ban, BAN HIM! If it doesn’t, let the man continue his career while the NFL completes its process. You can support accountability AND due process at the same time! #JoshJacobs #Packers #NFL #GoPackGo🧀

Credit this Packers defense and Johnathan Gannon over the last 5 games… They have clamped down to allow just 14.6 points per game over this stretch. The defense has forced 13 total takeaways (9 interceptions, 4 fumble recoveries) averaging 2.6 per game 15 sacksacross these five matchups WITHOUT MICAH WHO IS RETURNING TO PRACTICE NEXT WEEK!! #GoPackGo🧀

Jordan Love didn’t see Zakee Wheatley lurking!!! #GoPackGo🧀

You can tell Tucker Kraft is starting to get his footing and groove back!! I love it! #GoPackGo🧀

This defense that Gannon is dialing up is amazing, especially without 2 starting LB’s, a couple of D lineman out… Oh yea….MICAH RETURNS TO PRACTICE NEXT WEEK!!! Can’t wait to see the pressure we can get on QB’s when he returns! #GoPackGo 🧀

Christian Watson re-enters Lambeau!! #GoPackGo🧀 #ChristianWatson

Christian Watson has returned from the local hospital!! He is seen wearing a bandage on his right arm from an IV and is listed as questionable!! #GoPackGo🧀

Christian Watson has returned!!! Thank god it doesn’t seem to be anything serious!! #GoPackGo🧀

Josh Jacobs with his 2nd TD of the night!! This one receiving!! #GoPackGo🧀

A DAMN DRONE OVER LAMBEAU!! This night has been pretty bizarre to say the least!! #GoPackGo🧀

Christian Watson is heading back to the stadium!! All tests have come back clean.. The tests that were taken are not being disclosed!! #GoPackGo🧀

GREAT STAND ON 4th DOWN!!! #GoPackGo🧀

This has to be mental at this point!! There is no way as good as Matthew Golden is, that he keeps dropping these passes!! He’s got to be thinking too much! #GoPackGo🧀

After a dropped TD on the previous play… Matthew Golden catches a TD on the very next play!!! #GoPackGo🧀

Man… we literally can’t catch a break with all of the injuries. As soon as we get someone back, 2-3 players got down!!! #GoPackGo🧀

🚨Update… Christian Watson is heading to a local hospital for precautionary measures with a chest injury!! Praying he is ok!! #GoPackGo🧀 #KeepPounding

Ty’Ron Hopper with the pick on Bryce Young!! #GoPackGo🧀#KeepPounding

Josh Jacobs finds pay dirt!!! #GoPackGo🧀 #KeepPounding

Praying for Will Lee, Hopefully it’s nothing too serious!! I HATE INJURIES!! #GoPackGo🧀 #KeepPounding

Great catch by Christian Watson….. BUT HE SEEMS TO HAVE HURT HIMSELF!!! Hopefully he is ok!!! #GoPackGo🧀 #KeepPounding
