I know that 2005 is a long time ago in NFL player years. But the team that Ted inherited is almost gone.

How Built
Year	Draft 		                        Free Agents 
1999 	WR Donald Driver D7b 		
2000 	T Chad Clifton D2
        T Mark Tauscher D7a (FA-09) 		
2003 	LB Nick Barnett D1 	
2004 	C Scott Wells D7 (FA-04) 		DE Cullen Jenkins

I don't think it will surprise many if Tauscher and Barnett are gone next year. Maybe even Clifton too.

In the event that GB should lose on Feb 6, it will almost certainly be because Pittsburgh exposes and takes advantage of their OL limitations.

That assessment is fair enough, but that can be said about the vast majority of the teams in the league. There are plenty of good WRs, RBs, QBs, DL, LBs, and DBs. Not nearly as many good OL. So take the relative lack of OL talent in the league, add to it the fact that no other position group requires more teamwork and chemistry to be effective than the OL, and it's no surprise that the ability (or lack of ability) of the OL to keep their QB clean is arguably the biggest factor in the game for both Super Bowl teams. These are the Super Bowl teams we're talking about, not the Lions, Panthers, or Cardinals. Generally weak OL play, in relation to the other position groups, is basically the landscape of the league right now.

Luckily we have a very mobile QB, who can make a poor showing by the OL almost go unnoticed. If Rodgers weren't mobile, he would have been destroyed against Atlanta, where he was able to flee the defense that was coming at him. Hopefully, he can do the same thing on the 6th, and if so this conversation will be null, because we all know that ARod almost makes more plays happen when he roles out and finds a receiver.

The '05 team won four games. What did you want him to do that he hasn't done considering any player that was an asset since that time were resigned including I believe everybody on the list you have here.

I do not think I was looking for Ted to do anything one way or another. As I recall the team was nearly maxed on it salary cap so Ted had to make some changes simply out of necessity.
I was curious to see how many players were still on the team from the time period before he took over. maybe I was wrong but I thought someone else might be curious too.
As I said 6 seasons is a long time and even if there quality players on the team some of them would have moved on by this time.

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Dan Campbell on onside kick with 12 minutes left: In hindsight, wish I didn’t do that

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : They have that whole 12th man thing so ...

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Of the times we've played there, I just can't recall hearing our fans.
