New philosophy, fresh blood needed for Rodgers’ success

Clearly, it was Aaron Rodgers that carried this team beyond expectations in 2016. It certainly wasn’t the defense.

And because the Packers’ defense has been nothing better than so-so the past few years, the chances for Rodgers and the team from Titletown making it back to the big game look pretty slim.

-- This is for the few here who actually expect to see another SB w/12. Mostly the wrong demographic here.

I feel the same way, it's now or never time to upgrade the defense in regards to Rodgers success and getting the Pack back to the Super Bowl.

Unless we can add 4 or 5 more all pro type players the defense won't really improve much under Capers

Interesting thread.........here you are complaining that the Packers need to upgrade their defense and in the same breath you want Capers fired?
Can't have it both ways...........Capers can only work with what he has to work with. The blame lies on Thompson for his ineptness on the bad defense

Naw, Uncle Ted is simply going to draft the next HoF QB before he rides off into the sunset. (Maybe he already has.) 😁

I mean, people were saying he should trade Rodgers while he's worth more than a bag of kicking balls and start our HOF QB of the present and future Brett Huntley...

He did look like a stud handing off the ball at the end of the NFCCG. He also runs a little faster than Rodgers.

If Rodgers wants a ring, he can start throwing to the open guy, then we wouldn't be 4-6 and having to win 10 in a row. FACT. This franchise has won more world championships without Rodgers, than with him.

We don't NEED Aaron Rodgers. Is he a good player? Most of the time, when he decides to show up. Do we NEED him to win it all? NO.

As bad as the NFC Championship looked, I don't think the team is as far off as some would like to think now. We played about 1/2 the season with what should be the bottom of the depth at CB as starters. How many here without searching name the #4 & #5 CB from the team in 2010?

Yes the secondary got picked on, but in the games where they were really bad, how much pass rush did we have? Not much. We need a middle rusher on the line to complement Daniels. Clark did OK and might improve but the center needs more pass rush which will help the edge rush. and we have to find somebody who can cover the middle of the field. whether that is another Safety or a fast LBer. Do that and our secondary becomes much better automatically.

It also seemed to me that it was another game where for a large portion we either forgot about short routes or ignored them. There is nothing wrong with throwing a 3 yard slant. Heck two of the TDs were on them but away from the goal line we barely ever see them.

It will always be that we're never far off because we have Aaron Rodgers. Same crap we heard with Brett. With the ol' gunslinger you always have a chance. Sad that we're never really that far off but can't ever get there. There's a reason. Why is that?
