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!

Ron Wolf bailed the organization out by getting White/Favre/Keith Jackson/Desmond Howard through trade and free-agency. It remains to be seen whether Ted Thompson (who in my opinion drafts very well--not perfect, but overall very nice) will be able to accomplish the same thing. He shows some signs, bringing in Charles Woodson and Ryan Grant through free-agency and trade, but in my opinion hasn't yet risen to the Ron Wolf level.

You remind me of all the old codgers i know who reminisce about the good ol' days: when they had no shoes and had to eat wood. when they slept on the dirt and burned cow-pies for heat. when the only toy they had to play with when was their peepee. yeah, the good ol' days, before the world went to shit.

There is absolutely no logic to the implied syllogism I see reiterated all over the internet:

Major premise: We had 20 years of mediocrity before Brett Favre and Reggie White arrived in Green Bay.
Minor premise: Brett Favre and Reggie White are no longer in Green Bay.
Conclusion: Therefore, we are doomed to 20 more years of mediocrity in Green Bay.

It's nothing more nor less than pure speculation at best . . . and a moronic non sequitur at worst.

Season Over As Of Today

I know the playoffs are what it's all about. I know this has been a disappointing season with tight loss after tight loss, tough referee calls piling on top of huge numbers of penalties, a defense falling apart at the seams when we were expecting so much... but the season is NOT over. Let's see how this team performs when their pride is on the line. Let's see if they can play spoilers to a division rival and beat the bloody piss out of the Bears one more time this year. Let's see how this youngest team in the NFL develops game after game.

I'm as disappointed as anyone that we are basically out of the playoffs, but I am still going to watch the remaining 3 games and cheer this team on. It was a rough year, but I still love this team. We have a first year QB putting up a 90+ rating, a YOUNG team, and high expectations for next year. This is not the time for everyone to hang their heads. Let's hope for some crushing wins to build momentum for 2009, just like we did in 2006.

I really don't care how many times we make the playoffs. If anything, defeats in the playoffs are more disappointing than lousy seasons -- because expectations get so high. In the end, what I look forward to are Superbowl victories, and those have been pretty rare about these parts the last decade or so.

beast (9h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

beast (12h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (12h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games
