I really don't think Ted Thompson is the problem. MM can't motivate his guys to move their play up, and stop making penalties. MM needs to be shown the door, along with the special teams coach and O-line coach.
There's alot of talent on the team, but no one seems to know what they are doing. Ted Thompson can pick the guys, but they have to be able to play well together. And thats not happening right now.

TO HELL WITH TED THOMPSON!!!!!! Ultimately he is the one responsible for this whole mess!!!

He Hired MM, who hired his guys to coach, or kept the ones he wanted to.

Ted Thompson has had 5 years to bring in THE PLAYERS HE WANTED!!!!

It's real simple, either TT's players aren't good enough or MM can't coach them?

Either way, it doesn't matter..IT IS TIME FOR THEM BOTH TO GO!!!!

I backed off my rants after last week after seeing who we lost to and how close the games were, but Sunday pretty much showed what this team is, MEDIOCRE AT BEST!!!!!

While thery are at it, they might as well get rid of that red-headed clown who thinks he knows what he is doing.(Teddy's Boss)

CLEAN HOUSE, IMHO there is plenty of talent on this team, get someone in here who can develope that talent, use the next 8 weeks to build for 2010!!!!

Can we please stop putting any blame on rodgers? We put up 28 points!!!!
Maybe if we did not give teams great field position, teams like Tampa would not put up 38 points....

True. Most of the problem was with special teams. You give the other team the ball on inside your own 20, you arn't going to win very often. Plus a D that once again, when their backs are against the wall, they can't deliver.

The throw to Jennings that was intercepted was on Jennings in my opinion. Yes, there were 3 defenders there, but the ball went right through his hands. He catches it, it's a TD for us or at least inside their 5. Instead, it's intercepted. AR put the ball right where it had to be, and GJ blew it.
I hate to even say this, but he hasn't impressed me this year.
What has happened to him? Is he hurt, and not telling anyone? I just don't know.

I really don't think Ted Thompson is the problem. Mike McCarthy can't motivate his guys to move their play up, and stop making penalties. Mike McCarthy needs to be shown the door, along with the special teams coach and O-line coach.

I agree. I think it's mostly on mm. Yes, Ted has made some mistakes, all GM's do. I think his good outweighs his bad. mm I jus have had it with him.

Not to be argumentative, but if there's plenty of talent why would they can the guy who got that talent? I know he hired McCarthy, who's not getting it done, but that happens to even the best front office guys.

Full disclosure: I wouldn't be upset if Thompson did get replaced, as long as it was with someone who's proven they can do better, but firing him just because his first head coach hire didn't pan out seems a bit extreme to me.

Firing McCarthy: you betcha. Firing Thompson: maybe, but only if the new GM is demonstrably better. Change for change's sake in that position doesn't make sense.

Who would be available that fits that bill? I'm asking, because I don't know of anyone.

I 100 percent agree that Thompson gave us talent. Look at what hes done. We have Jennings, Jones, Nelson, Driver was resigned, He signed woodson, resigned Harriss, We have Great D-line players, Our linebackers are beast, He signed Bigby, Grant, and FInely was a great pick. Its obvious our players have talent, and thompson found many gems in the draft. Its frikin Mike Mccarthy and the rest of his staff. Woodson even Criticized our d scheme!

Vent... I have a laundry list of things I would love to vent about.. but I will just put down one.

MM and his circle jerk of a weekly presser of word and little action to correct the repetitive issues has zapped my excitement for this seasons team... I wanna believe he can right the ship, but I have zero confidence in his ability to do so.

Again.. I think he is a smart man.. but can't seem to objectively look at the shortcomings of this team and make the proper adjustment... IE.. Campen is a first time position coach and is failing... yet can't see it or to loyal to make the necessary change to remedy the shortcomings.

Oh and Raji not being in camp on time hasn't hurt his performance? BullllllllllllllShiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttt!

I can take the losses, the horrible line play, terrible punting, terrible coverage teams, quarterback getting beaten like red heade step child; but seeing you wearing a Viking helmut with braids holding Bill Bellichek wearing a dress is the last fricken straw for me. Exactly what were you thinking taking that bet? And how long do we all have to suffer with this?

wpr (2h) : 5 days

beast (21h) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
