Ok, first of all.. I don't HATE TT.. I just don't particularly like him

(NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE OFFSEASON BASH W/ FAVRE)

I might get torched from all you guys who seem to have endless explanations regarding his ''moves..''

BUT
in the offseason, something HAS GOT TO GIVE!

Sure he picked up woodson in 2006.. but come on..I've been checking nfl.com every 20 minutes since Friday hoping to see a packer report.. only thing that I've seen is that the packers have expressed interest in Chris Canty / Cowboys DE - and we've probably got beaten to him.

I know he's being conservative like last year but I'm sorry, if he screws up our draft this year.. I'm losing all hope in this man.

In free agency, I'm not looking for the #1 player, but just some people who can add depth to our roster.. and maybe those "people" can produce in our scheme.

I read an article today, it said Ted Thompson wouldn't sign Ray Lewis cause he was too old.. but let me say this.. I WANT A SUPERBOWL NEXT SEASON, IF NOT THE YEAR AFTER.. sure getting rid of favre may of been the best option in the long run.. but everyone thought it wouldnt be for 2008.. and Rodgers proved he has the ability to play at a top 5 qb level.. look all im trying to say is: If Ted dropped dead tomorrow, would he be satisfied with what he has done in preparation for 2009.. if the packers told him it would be his last year in their management would he sign a couple high calibur FAs.. i think so..

Well...we have what? 8 picks this year in the draft? Something like that.

I know a lot of you want us to chase after big names, but honestly, There are VERY few guys, available, that I would want on our team. Or, I think are worth the money.

Thats true. There are GM's that will throw a ton of money at a FA. And it doesn't always work out best for the team. When Reggie White came here, it was a HUGE piece. But he was still in his prime, and worth the money.
And if that FA isn't "the" piece that will put you on top, then it's wasted money.
Remember the Randy Moss fiasco? Ted Thompson thought the deal was done, and he was gonna be here. Moss' agent pulled the rug out.
That kind of stuff happens.
Look at how many teams have spent and spent, only to get little for their millions. Washington is proof of that.
There is ONLY one team that wins at the end of every season. The rest are losers.

TT gives me a boner

end of story.

Ray Lewis would have gotten us to a Super Bowl? President, please.

I have my train tickets ready because it is almost time for Ted Thompson and MM's train to leave the station. We are rebuilding again this year, it must be part of his 15 year plan on winning maybe 1 super bowl if we are lucky. But hey he got us alot of starters from the draft (just because thats the only place we get players) so he has that going for him lol. If we have another losing season time to punch TT's train ticket out of GB.

I'm not sure why this thread is in this section, but oh well.

What makes ya think we are rebuilding? You could be right, I could be not seeing it, but just explain how we are rebuilding? I think we are returning most if not all of our starters from last year. That doesn't sound like a rebuilding phase to me. Although, the jump to the 3 - 4 provides arguments otherwise.

The 3-4 on defense is the big thing, but we are still searching for the o-line help and a punter. That is alot of the team that needs help yet, so thats where i get the rebuilding from.

changing defensive scheme but keeping all same players is rebuilding?


The GM inTamap has been quoted as saying they aren't even rebuilding..

Maybe in 05 that could have been considered re-building but not now sorry

And we did have one SB in 15 years and no one complained then

Long i know you are trying to make your point but if we don't make any changes on the defense we will suck again this year. But i guess we will have to wait till opening day and compare the starters from last years d to next years d to see who is right. But your right no gm admits that they are rebuilding anymore, Hell like you said Tampa released a ton of players but still don't admit it, The Chiefs and Lions don't say it either so yes i see your point there.
