My God, every thread I read on this site reminds me so much of the hopeless optimism and hubris of the 70's and 80's! Seriously, I'm sh itting myself laughing here reading all of these comments! "Just wait until next year" "The coach and GM are doing a good job; they just need time" etc. ad nauseum. You people are priceless! And obviously too young to know that this situation occurred here before. I sat through 20+ years of other Mike McCarthy's and Ted Thompson's a long time ago, and it took two guys, Reggie White and Favre to come here and bail this outfit out of those 20 years of failure, when we had no right to expect it.
A little prognostication here: Reggie White and Brett Favre, much like Jesus Christ and John the Baptist, aren't likely to reappear anytime soon.
But keep up the optimism; it keeps me smiling!

Lets see..............Favre and White gained us how many Super Bowl wins? Yup......ONE. Compairing them to Jesus and John the Baptist is pretty lame.
They were good football players, but not the best there ever was, and CERTAINLY not perfect.
I think your line of thinking is wrong. I think we will be a great TEAM next year and beyond. We have been close in almost all games this year, and a bounce here or there and we could be on top of the division.
I didn't think we'd win the SB this year anyway. But i have HIGH expectations for next season.
You automatically write the team off for the future. Thats ok......you can do that if thats what makes you happy.
I prefer to "keep the faith".
I was around for the lousy 70's and 80's, and i don't see that kind of mentality from the guys running the show now.
