I know that 2005 is a long time ago in NFL player years. But the team that Ted inherited is almost gone.

How Built
Year	Draft 		                        Free Agents 
1999 	WR Donald Driver D7b 		
2000 	T Chad Clifton D2
        T Mark Tauscher D7a (FA-09) 		
2003 	LB Nick Barnett D1 	
2004 	C Scott Wells D7 (FA-04) 		DE Cullen Jenkins

I don't think it will surprise many if Tauscher and Barnett are gone next year. Maybe even Clifton too.

In the event that GB should lose on Feb 6, it will almost certainly be because Pittsburgh exposes and takes advantage of their OL limitations.

That assessment is fair enough, but that can be said about the vast majority of the teams in the league. There are plenty of good WRs, RBs, QBs, DL, LBs, and DBs. Not nearly as many good OL. So take the relative lack of OL talent in the league, add to it the fact that no other position group requires more teamwork and chemistry to be effective than the OL, and it's no surprise that the ability (or lack of ability) of the OL to keep their QB clean is arguably the biggest factor in the game for both Super Bowl teams. These are the Super Bowl teams we're talking about, not the Lions, Panthers, or Cardinals. Generally weak OL play, in relation to the other position groups, is basically the landscape of the league right now.

Luckily we have a very mobile QB, who can make a poor showing by the OL almost go unnoticed. If Rodgers weren't mobile, he would have been destroyed against Atlanta, where he was able to flee the defense that was coming at him. Hopefully, he can do the same thing on the 6th, and if so this conversation will be null, because we all know that ARod almost makes more plays happen when he roles out and finds a receiver.

The '05 team won four games. What did you want him to do that he hasn't done considering any player that was an asset since that time were resigned including I believe everybody on the list you have here.

I do not think I was looking for Ted to do anything one way or another. As I recall the team was nearly maxed on it salary cap so Ted had to make some changes simply out of necessity.
I was curious to see how many players were still on the team from the time period before he took over. maybe I was wrong but I thought someone else might be curious too.
As I said 6 seasons is a long time and even if there quality players on the team some of them would have moved on by this time.
