Bishop's departure part of Packers' 'transition' on defense

Green Bay --- The Green Bay Packers won't know if they made the right decision on Desmond Bishop for a while. Letting a starting inside linebacker sign with a division rival could backfire, it could prove to be a footnote.

i really liked bishop alot , he is a true warrior out there, but his health is always a big concern. if he would have stayed healthy , he would still be a green bay packer !!

I miss him. I miss his intensity and his knack for making impact plays. I hope the new guys make me forget about him. This one hurt me more than Greg Jennings.

I think they liked Manning and possibly Barrington better than they like Bishop.

But who know? The injury was a big deal too.

Bishop may have been able to help Green Bay in that playoff embarrassment at San Francisco. But Capers also notes that the Packers' defense was better overall in 2012 (when Bishop was out) than it was in 2011.

“I think we have a more athletic group and you throw a couple new guys in there, when you compare 2011 to 2012, we made big strides," Capers said. "Unfortunately, that last game skewed everybody’s opinion. We went from 32nd (in total defense) to 11th with nine guys who didn’t have any plays the year before. So hopefully that ends up playing dividends this year."

Great quote.

I was really surprised to see Bishop let go, even despite the injuries. After all, Harrell and Neal stuck/have stuck around despite being hurt often. I also really liked Bishop as a guy who brought intensity to the field without making it into a Barnett-like circus. In hindsight though, with his and Hawk's ages weighing into the equation it seems like the coaches may be sacrificing a small amount in the short term in order to allow other players to step in and develop reaping - benefits in the future.

Capers said. "Unfortunately, that last game skewed everybody’s opinion.

That is because the real season is the playoffs. If you get beat like a red headed stepchild in the playoffs your season is not all that successful even if you did go 16-0. The real goal is to win championships not to go undefeated in the regular season.

This was 2 times Capers had a team with a "top 15" ranking and had an all-time bad showing in the playoffs so dont tell me what your ranking was.

I understand that sentimentality. But I propose this thought as an aside that you can scheme all you want, however at the end of the day, it is about playmakers making plays and there was not enough of that on either side of the ball with the Packers in that game.

The NFL playoff system is a CRUEL, CRUEL thing.

Win you move on, Lose you go home.

There is no best of llke Baseball and Basketball.

In the end there is only ONE completely satisfied Team and fan base..

Cliche time: Fans like players have to "Enjoy the Journey"

The Packers are not going to win The Super Bowl every year, take the good with the bad and enjoy.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : *winning MVP

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
