"As I look to the future, I feel very confident that we can continue to compete for a Super Bowl championship. Yes, we haven’t won a Super Bowl since 2010, but it is very hard to win games in the NFL, let alone to win Super Bowls. We have given ourselves a chance in each of the past seven years. We have great leadership and stability with Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy. We continue to have a solid core of players, led by arguably the best quarterback in the league, Aaron Rodgers. As an organization, we are sound financially, and can provide the team with all the resources it needs to be successful. So, while the ending to the season was disappointing, and we didn’t achieve our ultimate goal, the season was not a failure, and we have much to build on for the future."

So glad The Packers have a strong stable organization who have produced a winner 90% of the time during their tenure.

I've been wanting to hear from the other "MM". Sadly, he's as culpable as the two below him. I couldn't have read a much more depressing bit of commentary. It's little wonder we don't win and won't with his attitude. He fits right in with the good is good enough mentality and it's so hard just to win games so we should be happy we aren't a Cleveland that has trickled down to most of the fanbase.

Anyone saying it's hard to win games much less championships has already given themselves and excuse for something less than a championship.

A giant LOL on the we "can" provide resources. Yes, you "can" but you "don't". Just keep shopping at Big Lots and Dollar Store adding our UDFA's and hoping and praying guys who weren't good enough the year before magically get better. Let's not go out and find viable difference makers. After all, there is a CHANCE the guys we've got MIGHT turn into one. The Packers are for people who love fantasies.

Contrast Mark Murphy with Mike Tomlin after the Steelers bowed out in same round as Packers and his team had multiple injuries (No Antonio Brown, no LeVeon Bell, Ben playing hurt, etc):

“I’m disappointed,” Tomlin said. “That’s just an honest answer. I think we all are. We appreciate the support that we get from others, the acknowledgment of the fight and all of that. But, we go into the journey with that understanding, that it’s going to be difficult (to win a championship), that’s it’s going to be a fight, that a fight is going to be required. We set out to be world champion. That was our goal. We meant it. It’s not us this year, so there’s disappointment.”

So, in Pittsburgh they see their season as a failure as they were short of what they set out to do...not just make the playoffs but be standing at the end. On the other side, we are proud of our team and it's okay...we had a chance and that's all that matters? We had a chance? Murphy spoke to CHANCES. LOL. The same tired CHANCES we had with Favre but rarely cashed in on. History is truly repeating itself. An org with two HOF QB's is going to end up with 2 rings while Brady wears 4. Celebrate good times, c'mon.

We have to just live with mamby pamby management. Well, at least most are happy and content with that so they can continue catering to that majority. That's something. Good truly is the enemy of great.

When will the eyes open to the fact that the very management they celebrate that gives us "chances" is the very management holding us back from actually winning? The "chances" we always seem to have oddly always end in failure. How about a management team whose "chances" actually lead to some Lombardi trophies?

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."

That game was there for the taking, but he put this team into a shell, as usual.

Arizona was terrible that game. Carson Palmer had never won a playoff game. He played tight as could be as did their entire team. We just didn't have the horses. That game was there for the taking because Arizona was a farce. The Vikings should've beaten them in the regular season there in the closing weeks. Turnover Teddy showed up and Arizona escaped them. This was truly a down down year in the NFL. Seattle wasn't themselves...SF fell off the table without Harbaugh. NYG collapsed. Dallas lost Romo. We had it set up perfectly to romp to an NFC Title. We lost Jordy and apparently everything else on O with him. It's maddening to not capitalize on this chance in a weak NFC this year and then add that to last year. This franchise is developing an aura of failure. The way you change that is with CHANGES. I don't think Jerry Fontenot and Sam Gash quite qualify.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
