The drama has begun.

---

It's not Ted's GMing that has caused us to be bounced from the playoffs the last two years.

It's Mike's "go into a shell in the 4th quarter" fear-based football philosophy that has taken a huge pile of steaming shit on this team.

---

Ummm...that GM you are so quick to excuse gave the guy you're bashing relentlessly a contract extension. Ted Thompson has direct control over the HC position so how can you excuse the "GMing"?

---

I'll try to type slower for you.

It is hypocritical of Mike to bitch about Ted costing us seasons, when it's his own fear-based playcalling philosophy and self shitting that has cost us the last two seasons.

---

Why is MM in position to complain and use fear based play calling?

None of that happens if he's not extended. Who extended him, again? You can't answer a simple question.

---

I'm tired of Tightwad Ted's approach to free agency too.

---

Ted's not the one running his pie hole.

There's a vacancy in Detroit currently isn't there? Maybe Mike would like to try his luck with another GM.

---

Good sign Von Miller, and trade the 1st round pick for Calvin Johnson.

*waits for disappointment*

November 3rd, 2014...two months before the Seattle debacle:
Ted Thompson on MM's contract extension:

"We are very happy to extend our relationship with Mike," Thompson said in a statement. "Over the past nine years, he's provided great stability and consistency to the Packers organization and our community as an excellent coach and leader. He's a good man and we look forward to the future with Mike as our head coach."

--Yup. What a great day for Packers fans everywhere. 😒 😠

The players that Ted Thompson put on the roster and the players that Mike McCarthy put on the field came within 1 play of advancing in the playoffs each of the last 3 years. One of those would have put them in the SB. I'm not sure what more the coach or GM could have done on each of those plays. That's three plays in three years for a minimum of three more playoff wins. If we get those three plays this conversation is much much shorter if it happens at all.

Yes, McCarthy has a tendency to go conservative too soon in many games. He should keep going for it all and blitzing every play until the final whistle no matter what the score is. He should also foresee a player having a great game in the playoffs and play him a lot more in the regular season despite perhaps not knowing the offense. No matter that that WR was one of only two realistic options in that playoff game so his big numbers are not all that surprising.

Granted Ted should probably utilize FA a bit more and make trades to address weak positions like TE where we maybe could have gotten a player who would have given us 20 receptions for 200 yards and 0 TDs instead of the player that got us 30 receptions for 286 yards and 4 tds over the same time frame. I know I 'd rather have the 20/200/0 wouldn't you.

Still, three plays and three more wins, minimum. That's not to to shabby. Ted Thompson signs players and MM coaches players to make plays and they make a lot of them. Sadly they don't make all of them but no player does.

Our coach and our GM are not perfect. They are like every other coach and GM in the league in that respect. That said I think they are better than the vast majority of them. It wouldn't surprise me if MM wants a few more weapons. What coach wouldn't? But how does that translate to being "fed up" I read through Mike Florio's article where he mentions Bob McGinn's article so I read Bobs article and never saw anything where he indicated MM was fed up. Its obvious BM is fed up but according to several sources BM is a moron so take what he says with a grain of salt.
