I don't know that it's much different than what we've seen from our O in the playoffs...when we face a top flight D we fail on O. The same goes for our D but our D has never been good so those are the kinds of things we're going to continue seeing.

Finally, some common ground...at bare minimum there needs to be a completely new defensive staff brought in. Of course, I think the GM should've been gone years ago, but it appears we'll be stuck with him and MM, again, and those two are the poster boys for our failures. This org needs to be rocked to it's core to get some urgency and expectation back in them and the fanbase.

I've been an optimist all of my life, and I'm certainly not going to change now. I still feel confident that the Packers will win another Super Bowl in the Aaron Rodgers era. Changes definitely need to be made, especially on defense. But I do believe we'll get there. Hold on tight and think positive! 👍

As long as Ted Thompson is making personnel decisions, the Green Bay Packers will remain stuck in 2nd gear.

Yet another damning statistic from the Mike McCarthy era, talking about the period from 2011-2016:

"#Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is the first QB in #NFL history to make it to the playoffs 6 straight seasons and not reach a Superbowl. Awful."

Wow. Just wow. This stat in light of the fact that the only time we actually made it was vs. a 3rd string QB, shows an awful lot of our organizational failings. Hopefully, the fingers start coming out of the ears and eyes start opening to reality a little instead of holding on to 2010 as a justification for the last 6 failures and the failings before 2010. It's SHAMEFUL we've been to one bowl on the heels of beating (barely) a 3rd string QB.

Like the Brady Bunch once sang:

---

I backed "Uncle Ted", but now I think he needs to go. We have NO playmakers on defense, and he has been drafting for the D for several seasons now.
They haven't worked out.
Time for a change to see if that might shake things up.
Something has to change, or nothing will change.

1 - Dom
2- Dom's staff
3- Ted

^^^

Distant 4- Mike (only for not firing Dom and being too passive in the Seattle loss, other than that, his offense has been fairly consistent, enough to make the playoffs anyway)

This thread has given me more hope in our fanbase than any I've seen anywhere in years.

The faction that was the majority is shrinking. It's beautiful.

Thank you! You have saved us and eradicated the world of mindless servile Packer Fans.
Now can you just shut the fuck up.

Why did the Bears 2nd and 3rd string QB enter the game? Could it be because the Packers knocked out the starter and rendered the backup ineffective? Is that what happened?

Didn't the Packers lose their opening day starters at RB, both ILBs, TE, DB, RT and about 10 or so other players eradicating positional depth?

How about the fact that no team lead the Packers by more than 7 points, something that's NEVER been done before.

The Packers went on the road and beat the 3rd seed, the 1st seed and 2nd seed.

I never thought I would have to defend the 2010 season to a PACKERS fan. Un-fucking-real.
