this is nothing like the team from last year. If you take the starting DE, the starting MLB and the starting Safety off of a defense ... those teams are hardly the same.

Same team?

You must have missed that little thread.

If they get rid of the coach and the GM what makes one think the team would do well next year?

I see us being fine with the return of our 3 injured defensive starters, FA moves on the O and D lines and a shake up on the Defensive coaching staff. Not sure if Sanders needs to go but they definitely need something to light a fire under their collective asses.

I have been thinking and umm I really think we are going overboard with the reasons why we have the record we have. I know the analyzing of this stuff is important, but we don't have a situation like the Raiders. We are kind of like the Panthers right now but of what they were last year. Our foundation is good... this year just exposed depth issues and other factors. Yes, it sucks to be on a down year, but find solace that we aren't the Lions. Be happy! The players, staff behind them. The talent is there. Next year will be better 🙂

for the most part I agree, DR. however, winning teams remain winning teams by constantly evaluating, evolving, and growing.

I find it funny that if you go on every other teams message boards only about 5 teams don't want someone fired. To me a few situations make semce but otherwise it seems stupid. Maybe it's cause I always envy the way the Rooney's handle coaches in Pittsburgh. I wonder how many SB's they'd have if they always fire coaches when the fans got impatieant

I've said the same thing so many times over the past few months, Cdnfavre+Rodgersfan.

People seriously need to chill out and let things develop.

I say fire the whole damn staff and gm Ted Thompson has a losing record and Mike McCarthy is barely over .500 yes we were spoiled by being in the playoffs every year but now we have sucked in 2 out of the last 4 years.

They haven't proved that Parcels excellence in evaluation consistently yet but let's give it one or two more seasons before we run them out of town.

Every team has injuries, the really good teams fight through them, players step up, check The Colts, The Patriots, they have both had their share of injuries but have found a way to stay in the play-off race.

I make this point again even at 5-8, The Packers can still turn this around, finish 8-8, on a up-note, and who knows, could win The North.

The last 3 games are very winnable, no team has that elite running back or that top notch wide reciever who can make the difference(although Forte in Chicago is pretty good).

I want to see The Packers go down fighting, finish at 8-8, not just go through te motions and maybe win.

Pack finishes 5-11 and their will be some major rumblings for changes.
