Let’s take a look at some highly notable free agents that Thompson let walk and evaluate if it was a good or bad decision. Hindsight is always fun, isn’t it?

I agree mostly with Teds approach. but I do feel he has missed now a couple opportunities where he could have made moves to give the team a better chance at the SB and failed to do so.

I DO believe that NOW is the time that they better get it together if they want a realistic shot at another SB. Rodgers isn't getting any younger.
I really think they would have gone all the way had Rodgers not been hurt last year. That really cost them. A healthy AR wins the NFC title game.
Of course that's JUST my opinion, for what it's worth.

I'm not sure how one slight upgrade in one position could have prevented that complete team failure versus Seattle. The result of the game had nothing to do with talent level (the first half shows that quite clearly) and quite everything about coaching problems, specifically not being able to prevent this team from imploding once it starts going downhill. Everyone not named Mason Crosby was responsible for that loss to a notable degree.

The only other thing is the Rodgers INT on what he thought would be a free play. Unless he was way off base or should have seen a flag before releasing the ball, I don't think he can be faulted for that.
