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 agree. But I'm glad we have TT, there are many more worse GMs in the League than there are better than him.

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 Aaron Rodgers wins the NFC title game.
Of course that's JUST my opinion, for what it's worth.

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.

    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
