We had a bad year. Its everyone's fault. We didn't win the division for the 5th straight year, that sucks. We didn't win the super bowl, that also sucks. Thompson probably could do a better job in free agency. I'm willing to bet money we win the division next season. After that, the playoffs are any given Sunday. I can't handle another off season of the same whiny pointless shit. Bitching for the sake of bitching. Never do I read solutions, only hollow complaints.

We're not just bitching for the sake of bitching. We're fans. We're calling out the epic failure of the team of which we are part owners.

Anybody watching Carolina thoroughly destroy Arizona tonight? Now that's a well put together football team. A nice mixture of youth and veterans. Athleticism all over the field. A defensive scheme that is actually well executed, and an offense that is geared towards the strengths of its players.

We would be getting thoroughly thrashed right now too, and anybody that thinks otherwise is really foolish.

Have you read me type over and over and over how we need speed and a red zone TE that commands attention from opposing D coords? Speed at WR...speed from a 3rd down back who can catch and be a weapon on 3rd down. A GM with passion and energy with personality who will stand up and face the media when his team falls short not goes and buries his head like an ostrich. A GM who will use FA and not overpay guys like Bulaga who are nothing but major injury risks. A GM who will fix things before 4 or 5 years go by with terrible play at a position. No solutions? Just whining?

It's tired hearing R E L A X typed out in different forms around here. There is no reason to relax at all. Football is a game of emotion. There is little in Packers land. It's an emotionless stale organization...it was played out all over our MVP's face this season. A direct reflection of this moribund management.

I laugh at the thinking that points to the distant past as a reasoning for why we don't need to change. Welcome to 2016. There is a lot of things that need to change around 1265...the kind of things that happened the offseason before 2010 to get us back to where a team with a QB like 12 should be or very very close every single season.

Keep being happy...I'll keep typing what is wrong and what is right and what should be done. You can continue typing that you don't see anything but complaining. You only see what you want to see anyway so I'm not surprised.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Ted doesn't care for media leaks. Ask Andrew Brandt about that.

If Mike really is talking shit about Ted behind Ted's back, he could be gone sooner than later. Let's not forget Aaron's antics this season either. He might be the source, trying to pit the two against each other. Hard to say.

Who cares about the source? Do you think this is true or not? How could it not be true? Mike McCarthy isn't going to say this publicly so the best you're going to get is something like this...now, it is up to you whether you believe it or not. I believe it 100%. Anyone who actually wants to win would feel this way.

I suspect MMs "fed up" somewhat exaggerated.

Why doesn't it surprise me though that you are loving this. Its more PROOF that you are right, right.

The irony with you is this... If you were in a very bad relationship with a woman you probably would never leave just because the relationship was bad simply because you didn't have a better solution lined up. The situation in Green Bay is stale and uninspiring. What I know is we need to get out of this bad relationship with the hope we won't jump right into another one. MM was coordinator of the 32nd ranked offense when we hired him. To this day, I do not understand his hiring. I get the Thompson thing as he was a Wolf guy but he is the exact opposite of his type A passionate risk taking mentor. We have a D. Coord that should be in mothballs somewhere. He barely had a job with the Patriots when we found him.

I've said I would prefer Eliot Wolf to Ted Thompson. Honestly, a person with personality would be really nice for this organization. Someone who'll use FA. I sat and watched Greg Olsen up there on the FOX set. FA tight end. Ted Ginn FA WR. Some nice draft picks in Benjamin and Kuechly and Gettleman makes a bunch of moves after most experts thought that OL was the worst in the NFL.

No. I want to see this team win SB rings not bow out in the playoffs while we have Aaron Rodgers. When he goes and we have less than an MVP QB only then can I relate to you about being okay with not making it to the show but then I'll be on let's find us a guy who can get us there. It should always be about the relentless pursuit of perfection and anything less sucking like Mike Tomlin said of his teams season. No excuses with injuries...just disappointment. That came from the HC and filters to the fans. Here it's we're proud blah blah blah and the focus of the fans becomes that things are just fine. Nope.

Panthers aren’t blinking this week, up 34-7 in third quarter

The Panthers managed to get through the third quarter without collapsing.

Must be nice.

Zero2Cool (11h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (15h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (15h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (17h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (17h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (17h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (17h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (18h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (19h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (19h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
