Last offseason was critical, but they obviously did NOT get it done. We'll give Mike a mulligan due to his family tragedy. But it needs to get done.

The Packers biggest mistakes was overestimating the talent of Adams, thinking Richard Rodgers is a threat at tight end, and not having enough experience at wide receiver. Nelson going down had a domino effect, exposing all of this.

Defensively, we had enough to get it done; but going into the season not filling the ILB position with a quality start and replacing Williams and House with rookies was a pretty big gamble. The rookie corners played well.

For me, the main failure was Mike's fear-based conservatism. Just like last year.

Let's all be honest.

Nothing is really broken beyond repair.

If not for injuries, the Packers could very well be 3 point favorites next Sunday Afternoon against the Broncos.

EVERY offseason is critical. Not putting emphasis on it being critical is the very reason this article is being written today. Perception is your reality. Too many lulled into a false sense of things being okay until this year came and the mask came off and...Oooooh, that's FUGLY. Now, all of a sudden things are critical? LOL. The critical clock started years ago.

Of course, Nerd, I wholeheartedly disagree on Adams...will never be anything but a borderline 3rd WR, if that. He may look good as a 4th or 5th guy but we all saw that he can't get it done and wasn't worthy of being a 2nd round pick. Another miss to pair with the miss of Richard Rodgers. You miss two times like that on guys you have to count on because you have no other pool to pull from and you get what you got this year. FUGLY football on offense.

I'm super curious to see if the pulse free Ted Thompson springs to life finally or if he's just content to be his old content not good enough self again this offseason? It is critical he actually participates a bit this offseason.

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."

What happened last year, in 2014, 2011, 2007 any year is old news.
Those that dwell in the past, are never going to be happy.

I am looking forward to this off season to see which players are going to stay and who is leaving.
The offense is probably going to stay pretty much the same,
Kuhn, Jones, Barclay probably won't be back, but there are guys. ready to take their places.
The ever improving D is what I am watching.
Who stays and who goes will determine what new players will be added.
Whatever's happens, 2016 is looking to be a formidable year for The Packers.

It is tough that this team has only been to the Super Bowl 3 times in the last 20 years with Back-to-Back HoF quality QBs. I am not event talking about winning Super Bowls just getting there.

I agree that this team takes up a lot more of my mental life than it should, but it is hard not to feel like we have under-achieved for many years. I want to cash in now before we have an average QB and are cheering just to make the playoffs.
