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.

And he has kept the Packers near the top his entire time as GM.
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.

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53
Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before
beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season
beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine
Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder
Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in
