To say he has proved me wrong would be the understatement of the year. (yeah, its a new year, but you know what I mean) While I wasn't the only one calling for his head, I was the loudest. And now its time to eat crow.

Things were not looking good after the Tampa game. Penalties were adding up at a record pace, the offensive line was a mess, the Vikings had swept us, and we had just lost to one of the worst teams in the NFL.

Since then, the Packers are 7-1. As I have always said, the buck stops with MM. He is responsible for what happens on the field. And what has happened this year is the Packers have rebounded, and are now one of the best teams in the NFL. MM deserves credit for that.

Another thing for which he deserves credit, is that the players never questioned him, and did not point fingers.

To make a long story short, I was wrong, I am glad I was wrong, and GO PACK GO!

It happens, but no worries, you weren't the loudest and there were many who were on board.

I don't understand how we can give up 37 sacks in eight games, then in the last 8 only 14 was it?

I was down with the 8 - 8 year, the 13 - 3 year and tried to understand the 6 - 10 year.

I did say if we won twice as many games as we lost, plus a playoff win, I'd be back on board. I'll gladly jump back on board the mm train in 7 days if we're still playing.

I couldn't agree more. I've been wrong an awful lot this year, and I like it.

Pre Draft, my dumbass said 7 - 9 and add one win with my homer pick of a win over the Steelers. I also said I didn't expect much from the defense at that time too. I can't honestly say that changed after the draft, although I was excited about the Raji selection and intrigued that we moved up to pick a player in the 1st round.

Sweet post Iron. Can't argue much with a top ten offense and defense, and if you do, you should have to sit in a room of Cleveland Brown fans explaining what you are whining about.

Isn't it time Uncle Ted got a little love for this young, talented team he has built as well. I know there is still work to do, but we are loaded with talent. Talk about a guy that has taken unwarranted shit from people just because he had the balls to take on Lord Favre and do what was best for the Green Bay Packers.

Yes, it is time for some Ted love. He is building/has built this team well and has the guts most GMs don't have. Thank you Ted for Clay Matthews! Brad Jones is looking very good and he was a 7th-rounder. Hats off to McCarthy for his coaching. He deserves credit for turning the team's season from mediocre to very good and potentially great.

I'm proud of the Green Bay Packers players and Mike McCarthy and his coaching staff for being able to turn this season around after the Tampa Bay debacle.

Sometimes it's good to be wrong. This is even better than being wrong about saying "that hot chick will never sleep with me." :thumbright:

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?
