Ted Thompson’s Offseason Pays Off In Playoff Win

Ted Thompson's 2014 offseason might go down as one of his best ever, and the players he brought into Green Bay were a huge reason the Packers were able to beat the Dallas Cowboys 26-21 and advance to their first NFC Championship game since 2010. The headliner was Julius Peppers, and he was the best

Best offseason ever, and coincidentally no one had to retire (yet) due to a neck injury. Only ONE player lost for the year before it even started. Well two if you count Abbrederis.

Huge reason for this season and why the team is going on to the NFC Championship is because of Peppers acquisition and Guion much like a big contributor for the SB year was Howard Green.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I hope we can get Peppers to restructure and he comes back. His contract is a bit rich for next year based on the number of snaps he takes.

Two words: Corey Linsley. Just one piece to the puzzle (Lacy's blocking improvements help a lot too) but a big part of the reason why a limited-mobility Rodgers was able to absorb only one sack last game and once versus the Lion's vaunted line. Big help with the run game too.

Zero2Cool (12-May) : And for Ian Rapoport to announce Saints send 1st and 2nd rounder to Packers for Malik Willis.

dfosterf (12-May) : *Elgersma*

dfosterf (12-May) : Today would be a good day to discover the Pack signed Taylor Engersma, the Canadian QB

Zero2Cool (11-May) : It wasn't. He simply wanted his money back. They refused. Cops came. They gave him his money in end.

Martha Careful (5-May) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.
