Agreed, funny how when Fran Tarkenton gives his opinion we care and state "thats his right" yet when someone gives one we disagree with they are idiots.

GB's off-season has been sub-par. All we did was replace a Def. Coord and in the process pissed off our best Def. player. We added a few draft picks, as did EVERY other team, and signed some stiffs in FA.

Nationally, the majority of people get it, in GB however the blinders get in the way.

There is no way Packers are number one.. Better not hope his weapons get hurt? Bears all better hope Cutler don't get hurt also Pats watch out lets hope Brady doesn't get hurt again... Giants? really? come on they added to their massive d line and got rid of WR who was a pain in the locker room and that might not even play this year?
I also like how some Viking fans said Fran Tarkenton needs to shut up and is just hating on Favre when most of them said the same thing about Favre when he was playing for the Packers.

I disagree

They also said Dallas had the best offseason by losing 6 of their starters lol.

These kids that wrote that article have no more weight than you or I.

Fran Tarkenton is entitled to his opinion...I didn't agree with it, but it was most definitely worth hearing, imo.

GB's off-season would seem sub-par to many, I have no problem with that. You have that opinion, I disagree. The weight of your arguments are superior to the authors that wrote this article...to me. I "know" you and your biases, or lack of them , as it were.

As far as nationally, I'll barely go there... Instead, I will tell you what happened in my neighborhood this week here in Harrisburg, PA.

My neighborhood, being outside the friendly confines of Lambeau, would be considered part of the "National" perspective, agreed?

Well, Monday was Memorial day, a holiday. In my township, our normal trash day is Thursday. If there is a holiday, however, the trash day is moved back one day to Friday. It has been like that probably since William Penn was running the show here. This is way too complicated for my little piece of the national perspective. On Wednesday evening (and it's pouring-assed rain, btw) 90% of my neighborhood had their trash out in preparation for Thursday pickup. You see, one moron forgets, puts his trash out, his moron neighbor sees the trash, puts his out, and so forth, and so on.

My wife cracked this week. You see, I am stubborn. In the teeth of 9 out of 10 of my neighbors having their trash out, my trash stayed put. My wife asked me why the hell I wasn't taking the trash out. (She is from here, btw--somehow that seems important for me to tell you, lol)

I told her that the reason I didn't put the trash out is because I feel that Tavaris Jackson will be a better option for the Vikes this year than Brett Favre. She gave me that classic WTF?-wife look, rolled her eyes, and went back to whatever female stuff she was doing before she made the mistake of attempting to talk to her crazy-assed husband.

She didn't get it. My neighbors wouldn't have got it, imo. I don't know if you get it, but many will. I will be happy to discuss it with anyone that cares to partake, because I definitely get it.

They guy that wrote it is Keith Roberts, he isnt even listed on the "staff" of The End Zone Report.


Just some noodle head that might not even know where Green Bay is..and Keith if you by chance read this..

Do you really live in your parents basement?

TT and MM will know more then me; I would of liked Ted Thompson to FA up a nice DE for us - like carter.

I was a bit worried about our Oline pre draft but I am feeling much better about it; hopefully our Oline coach will figure out whom will be best as starters and have appropriate backups so we dont play musical chairs.

Ever wonder why those QBs out there could throw so well? Oline
just watched the saints/pack game again. Well besides some great receivers their Oline rocked (and our D blew chunks).
Brees ate us up.

Looks like he was the one with the cheese

errr - got off subject there

ya us as #1 in fudgeup off season; bah -

3-4 D hiring one of the best DC out there
one of the best drafts in the league
and having cap room for all our guys coming up

I say we got one of the best; I honestly couldnt ask for more ... well maybe signing of carter but we wont need him if jenkins, harrell and jolly can play

While Fran and this writer from the site have their rights to express their opinions, the writer failed to mention a few things.

Like what you just said..They have a whole new D coaching staff..Why didnt he touch on that? Why didnt he mention that out of all the teams that Capers has gone to in the 1st year that defense doubled in ranking in the 1st year ( at least 80% of the time )

That BJ according to ALL experts was the perfect fit for this new defense....


to make his point, the writer only mentioned one player to suit his argument.

Where as Fran made a point to explain his point by a few examples.

That is why the writer is a noodle head and Fran just sounds bitter

I actually think its funny how many people on here don't keep an open mind. If something is written that makes the Packers look good they are great writers but yet when someone writes bad they are idiots.
Lets take a look at our offseason:

We sign backup players in Smith, Preston , Williams (which everyone said should be paid big money a few months ago) and Bush.
Grade: F or optimistic D-

Defense: we sign a d cord that brings in a new defense ( I like the idea) but yet we have to change how or main players play. AK has to now work in wide spaces, Woody and Al now will have to goto zone (which Al sucks at) and now have Collins as the main guy to recognize the o-sets (he blows alot of coverages and now he has the defense)

Grade C- ( to much of the unknown to grade otherwise)


Draft we got 1 starter the way it looks. Our #9 pick is slated as a backup and then the rest of the draft was great to say we have bodies for backups.

Grade B because the rest of the media thinks we did well.


I think our offseason was below average but then again compared to most with Ted Thompson at the helm is was a popular one. Because he usually doesn't do shit.

I bet dhazer's trash was out Wednesday and he's bitter about it.

:icon_smile:
