If picking late in the draft is the reason for the decline, then explain the Patriots. Their success is not based on just their draft - they do what Ted should do, and that is SIGN SOME PROVEN TALENT AND FILL THE FUCKING HOLES IN THE ROSTER!

Injuries play their part - but that could have been minimized had Ted gone out and made a deal or two so we had at least someone at CB with some experience. I had hope when he made a deal for Knile, but then went back to sitting on his hands and watching it all burn to the ground.

Does anyone seriously think we can't find a better GM?

One extra play in Colts and Atl games and we win.

and one ST TD and pic 6 [like Minnesota needed to beat a bad Ariz team] in Wash game and GB is 3 and 1 instead of 0-4 in last 4 games.

Now the rosters, talent and players are all the exact same in both scenarios. Regardless of being 3-1 under the alternate scenario, the team played like crap. But because we lost 4 Ted is a poor drafter; and if we won 3 of 4, Ted would be a genius.

There's way too much uffda-like wilda$$ irrational emotion. Dont look at stats, dont look at Ws and Ls...WATCH THE GAMES. Last year before Denver game Uffda said we'd go undefeated; now he says we wont win another. The GB media is a bunch of stooges, search their articles for the facts and question those to be sure there's no McSpinn-like objective; but for god sake dont absorb their idiotic opinions.

I'm still laughing about the WRs cant get open stoogery..😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

But, there is no better GM, because he gets it. Look at all the FA acquisitions Detroit and Jax have had. See that dont work either. Only difference between NE and GB is QB play; cant hold a GM and HC responsible for a great Qb suddenly changing and deciding he's so KING CRAP he can crap on his family and the staff, his teammates and the system.

The reason for the drop off due to injuries is not talent or more FAs; IT IS PRACTICE TIME. There isn’t enough practice time for the starters; let alone getting back-ups ready and forget the back-ups of back-ups. There should be something like one hour a day of extra practice for back-up players with less than 4 years experience.

I don't think I'd blame drafting for what we're seeing. I think the biggest problem is we are getting very little from several guys with very large contracts and our depth for injuries is Undrafted guys and rookies. We could do for some medium ranged priced free agents I think where the young guys on the roster actually have some competition but if they step up and make the spot there is good experiences depth. I think our roster is getting a little too top heavy where it's devastating when a couple of those guys go down.

That's not the only option.

But I think you're mistaken about the Patriots... the Patriots sign guys cheaply... both proven AND unproven... and then adjust their systems to the talent of their players. It's rare that the Patriots go out and sign a proven talent for market value.

A lot of teams have tried very hard to find the best GM possible... and most have delivered worse results than Thompson. And that's with Thompson picking lower than most.

I seriously and strongly believe picking the right GM is a lot tougher than people think... why? Because so many people have completely failed at doing it. So it much be tougher than people think.

The funny thing about injuries, you can't predict you are going to get depleted a position and math says you can't load up on every single position.

If we had matched the 3 year $15,300,000 contract, I wouldn't have been upset, but I know many fans would have bemoaned the whole Sam Shields, D. Randal and Q. Rollins AND investing into a CB who had hamstring issues and didn't show he could play anything other than the slot.

Besides, it won't matter until we have a defensive coordinator that adapts scheme to players, instead of players to scheme, it won't matter if we have 11 first round draft picks on defense.
