Ted Thompson is NOT the reason the Packers won the SB in 2010. AARON RODGERS is the reason.

I will agree that the team had full blown motivation, but they rode Rodgers back to the championship...there was no one else even close in being the reason this team won it all that year. Rodgers was SB MVP followed by league MVP. He hasn't been anywhere near as good since those two things. I really was worried about "Rocky Syndrome" after all his accolades...throw in the big contract and he can't possibly be motivated as he was.

Who was it if not Aaron Rodgers? If you say the defense, I will smile a little recalling that Caleb Hanie, yes, the Caleb Hanie 3rd string QB nearly ended us in the NFC Championship game.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

It was the defense that ripped the Falcons throat out with the INT TD return at the end of the first half that blew the game open. They gave up 14 points to Hanie but don't forget they also created the 7 points that won the game after the offense sputtered thanks to the hit Peppers put on Rodgers. It was the defense that scored an INT TD return in a 6 point win as well as stole the momentum away from the Steelers in the 2nd half off the Mendenhall fumble. 11 TOs, 11 sacks, 3 TDs scored over 4 games on the road every game against 3 division winners all played during the regular season (2X with the Bears) and in the Super Bowl.

back2reality - The flaws to Draft and Develop approach are zero, none. Just like any approach, if executed properly, it is effective. For whatever reason, the Packers coaching staff is unable to develop a lot of the draft picks in the upper rounds.

Food for thought. What does it mean when undrafted players are routinely making the Packers roster? 🤔

Yes, obviously Aaron Rodgers was a big part, likely the single biggest contributor. But he had a lot of help. That's the reason the Packers can't advance in the playoffs recently. Aaron Rodgers isn't good enough to truly do it by himself, and he needs more help. From every facet of the team from blocking, tackling, pressure, coverage, special teams, etc.

buckeyepackfan (15h) : 1 NFC South @ NFC West @ AFC West other 3 games,

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Geeze Zero get it right!😋

Zero2Cool (18h) : I guess 3 games. Whatever

Zero2Cool (18h) : Bleh, that only impacts two games.

Zero2Cool (18h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Kanata, seek help! lol

beast (22h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (22h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (22h) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (22h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (22h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (22h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (22h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (23h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (23h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (27-Dec) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (27-Dec) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (27-Dec) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (27-Dec) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
