They staunchly denied it while Mike McCarthy served as head coach, but they're admitting it now. The Packers had grown satisfied, and it was time to rid the team of that feeling. During Wednesday's press conference introducing new coach Matt LaFleur, CEO Mark Murphy explained that he gathered information from nine players (one from each [more]

Mike is certainly part of the issue but I think it began with Teddy. Many have been saying so for years. There is very little incentive to put a more competitive team on the field. Every game is sold out. They have the longest waiting list for any team. Merchandise sales are always among the top franchises. Just win the division every other year. Get bounced the first round playoff and the gold will roll in. No worries.

Could be something to it.

Add to that my earlier comments. If the front office isn't supplying the talent needed to honestly be considered SB material, why will the players feel the need to do much more than punch the clock and get their check?

Murphy did Mike a favor, only it was a year to late .
Can't believe what is being said.

Good luck to the new HC.

This shit wouldn't happen in New England!

Nerd, I disagree.
The talent level is not fine..we've got some very good players, and many below (and well below) average players. And our depth is well below average.

Shout comments merit discussing this topic up anew.

I think it is great to give Matt LaFleur an entire new staff team. They are HIS choices and HE is accountable.

Its just like when an owner of a company retires or sells, you should not allow the element of "we used to do it 'this way'." On the offensive side of the ball "This way" is done....and that's a good thing.

Pure conjecture, but a shiny new dime says that Pettine, after he saw what he saw, wanted to get rid of the old guys as well. Good, he can be accountable too.

OK, I may owe you a shiny new dime...notwithstanding for the foregoing, I am skeptical that Russ Ball would have had much input....perhaps Murphy. I am fine with it regardless.

beast (16-Dec) : Damn, should have picked the Buccaneers over Chargers

beast (15-Dec) : Note: DuBose was just going all out for questionable location ball, probably never saw the defender. Bad idea to throw it there.

beast (15-Dec) : Yeah, DuBose head went down and he nailed the defender with the top of his helmet, full head, neck, spine potential injury there

Mucky Tundra (15-Dec) : Grant DuBose carted off after taking a hard hit

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : LaFleur said Jaire Alexander will NOT play Sunday

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : LaFleur says he thinks LB Edgerrin Cooper will play this Sunday.

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : Made copy/paste super fun

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : CTRL and DEL weren't working consistently at all.

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : Amazon steps were annoying. I already tried it on multiple computers, did restart, updated G Hub, ...keys no work.

beast (13-Dec) : Turns out we simply needed to restart the computer, it had no physical keyboard issue

beast (13-Dec) : Demanding that I change the keyboard as they needed that key (h I think) and changed it out and the issue stayed.

beast (13-Dec) : I remember when I was the new hire and default tech guy for an office, one letter on a common use keyboard when out and the top person was
