Yoop that news is a couple days old. Edgar and Alex just happened. A surprise but as far as who's next?

I read that we were going to bring back Philbin and or McAdoo. So, don't be surprised if BOTH of them are coming here.

For those of us desiring accountability and change, we got it. There has been way too much thought inbreeding and I am extremely pleased change is occuring.

I think Mike McCarthy has been doing most of the coaching and is probably tired of carrying the load.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Pelissero is saying reassigned. Wilde saying might return in another capacity.

Thought McCarthy should have thought about redoing the offense coaching/structure after 2015. Even when the offense is good lately it's a struggle. Hitting a big play around here is like pulling teeth. We may be good at pulling teeth but lets try and make it a little easier from the get go.

I think McCarthy would be a better Head Coach as just that and not Head Coach/OC. It worked that way for a while because he was good at it but that has to be a hell of a lot of work. He's gotta be burning out some. That coupled with the mostly developmental coaching program with few outside voices let things get kind of stale maybe. Just have to make the right hire at OC.

Hey, if Marvin Lewis can get an extension, why would Mike McCarthy be fired?

Edgar ascended too quickly. Our offense has been shit since at least 15 though. Surprised too see him fired after they moved him up year after year. Fell out of love quickly. Very glad to see this though, needed to happen.

Look how long they stuck with Campen before he got it together. Same thing with our former ST coach, who never did get it together. I’d rather see Edgar calling old school WCO plays than getting shit canned. But we shall see.

Mike gets a shot at fixing this.

Gonna be tough to come back with a reassignment (read demotion) but he may catch on somewhere else.

I think part of what held GB back a bit was their loyalty to their own and those with ties to the team. I get that those are the guys you know best but it eliminates a lot of potential candidates. Kind of like the talk about bringing back Philbin and McAdoo. They couldn't cut it at the next level which is no indicator that they can't be successful in a lesser role but are they being considered simply because they know the system and if that is the case how much will really change.

Zero2Cool (53m) : Johnson didn't make it until 2020. Ring 2023. 🤷 Personally, he should have been in years prior to Hall.

Zero2Cool (54m) : HUMP DAY

beast (1h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (1h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (1h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (1h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (1h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (1h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (1h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (1h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (1h) : S Xavier McKinney named first-team All-Pro by NFLPA

beast (3h) : I missed it, sorry, but he got into the NFL Hall of Fame years before that

Zero2Cool (3h) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (3h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (3h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (3h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (3h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (17h) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats beast on 2024 !

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats porky on winning 2023 pick'em! (oops sorry)

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : Packers have $60M+ of 2025 cap space on paper TODAY.

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Missed FG into a Lions TD; that'll do pig, that'll do

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : I'm rooting for the Lions to lose.

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : God help me but I'm rooting for the Vikings to...Vikings to...Christ I can't say it
