Ted Thompson came to The Packers in 2005, that year The Patriots win their 3rd Super Bowl in 4 years.
5 years later after the 2010 season The Packers won Their 4th Super Bowl. 1st under Ted Thompson.
Jump ahead to 2015.
The Patriots win.their 4th SB.
Took them 10 years to win another.
I wonder if The Patriot fans wanted the GM/Coach fired for not putting a good enough defense on the field ?
I wonder if Patriot fans complained every year that Belicheck was wasting their future HOF qb's career by not putting a good enough defense on the field?
I wonder if other Patriot fans blamed Tom Brady for not performing at a HOF level when it came to crunch time in the playoffs 2006-2014?
Losing in the playoffs sucks!
Never getting a chance to lose in the playoffs REALLY SUCKS!

Keep in mind since Ted has been GM, THE ONLY team to win more games then The Packers is The Patriots!
Up until last year The both had the same number of rings .......1.

Keep in mind it took THE WORST call ever made by a HC for The Patriots to beat Seattle.

Keep in mind it took THE BIGGEST COLLAPSE in SB history for them to beat Atlanta.

Another season is right around the corner .
The goal of EVERY team this time of year, EVERY year, is to win The Super Bowl.
In reality there are only 12 teams that have that chance at the end.
The Packers have been part of that 12, 9 years running
Looks to me that they have once again assembled a pretty good group of guys to field another SB contender
Enjoy the games, let's see where The Packers are at in January !
I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

To be fair, the Packers have been in three NFC Championships during that period, so they certainly "sniffed" it. There is a pretty small margin between the team that loses in the championship round and the team that loses in the SB. In some years you would have a good argument to say that one of the teams that loses in the CC is probably better than the SB loser, depending on overall conference strength.

In the last 10 years, only one team has been to the CC game more than the Packers (3), the Patriots.

The Pats have been 5 times in a row which is pretty insane. 3/2 in CC games, 1/3 in superbowls.

The 49ers went 3 times in a row, with two CC loses and a SB loss to show for it.

The Seahawks, for all of their hype have been to the CC twice, won both times but only have one SB win to show for it, so it's hard to say they've done better than GB. Ditto for Denver.

So, if the argument is the Packers suck or aren't doing enough because they haven't been as successful as the Patriots - I guess that's technically correct, but only barely.

Coach McCarthy knows that few in the NFL have the knowledge and experience that Dom Capers brings to the job of GB's Defensive Coordinator . Yet we all know that there is a point where the coaching must translate into on field performance. Last seasons final contest made that crystal clear as Matt Ryan burned the Packers with over 380 yds and 4 TDs . It is for just that reason that Kevin King was drafted and Davon House brought back as a FA .

GB's CB play should look radically different in 2017 . In turn , their coverage of opposing WR/TE could increase LB's pressure on opposing QBs.

The 2017 GB Training Camp will be extremely interesting . [cheers]

I would say this is a make or break year for Capers. If he can't get the D to play decently, then I think he will be gone.
He supposedly has better players then he had last year, so he better prove he can motivate these guys.
Ted Thompson let Casey Hayward go.....I STILL don't forgive him for that bonehead move.

I almost completely agree, but I would go further and say the entire team is missing motivation and swag skills... and while the Packers have a lot of men on and off the field, they let those leader of men types.

Once again, it's not Capers... and that's why he's not in a make or break year.
Also why even have a make/break year? If you get to that point, why not just release him and start over? I guess I'm asking, if it's really that bad (which it's not) then why wait a year? Do it now, or [zipmouth] it. (FYI, I'm not telling you to zip, just saying I don't understand why someone would wait if there was no reason to wait)

Umm, fans say that every year, on every single team. Just because that's being said doesn't mean it's true... also as long as the NFL has cap limits and injuries, there will away be holes or gaps.

So teams fill the gaps in the offseason and suddenly, we're better and everything is going to be perfect! ... but in reality, you fix one hole, and another hole might open up... (which also assume you correct fixed the first hole, which is often a wrong assumption in the NFL).

But I think it's fair to say that the Packers CBs should be better than last year if they're able to stay healthy (because they weren't healthy last year and we got two new guys in House and King).

But there are also new holes, namely behind Matthews and Perry...
I mean if OLB didn't rotated that often, and they were a sure thing to stay healthy and at 100%, I don't think there would be a problem... but pass rushers rotate quite a bit, and Matthews and Perry don't exactly have the best track records of staying healthy. Also their #1 back-up in Fackrell doesn't either... while he clearly flashed a couple of times which his pass rush, he also dealt with injuries last year (and I believe two of his last three years).

And there are always hidden holes... like CB was last year... with Shields, Randall, Rollins and Gunter most didn't think CB would be a problem... they were perfectly fine going into the season without Hayward and even a CB short (as they normally keep 6 and only were carrying 5).
