The chants to fire the Packers' special teams coordinator have been continual over the past years. We analyze whether those chants are deserved.

If it was just one guy who didn't know when to run the KO out of the end zone, maybe I could blame the player.

Although I would have to ask myself why he was out there.

Funny Thing, maybe this WTMJ guy is confused. I remember chants or whatever to fire that guy who had Special Teams before him (the old timer - I can't even recall his name), but to my recollection, there hasn't been any particular pressure on Slocum or any great reason for it. The Packers special teams may have had a few ups and downs, but they have generally been more good than bad in his tenure.

The teams best special teams player just did return after being out for 4 weeks, most of the other players who excelled on Special Teams are now playing offense or defense.

No big secret Special teams suffer when there are a rash of injuries to a team.

Players are starting to get healthy, which means little by little players will return to their special teams duties.

The new guys are getting experience with every new week.

The Packers are 5-2, and are only going to get healthier, to call for the firing of a coach is just ridiculous.

I guess that is just todays world, everyone thinks they know better than the GM and HC.

I don't remember a game in the past 3 years where special teams play cost The Packers a win, I could be wrong, but none stick out in my mind.

Some just need something to complain about, worry about, IMHO, The Packers coaching staff have done a terrific job this year keeping the team in the playoff mix.

Plenty of other teams(Ie: Atlanta) have fallen by the wayside because they couln't overcome injuries.

ENJOY THE JOURNEY!!!!!

Mucky Tundra (8m) : this game is over
Mucky Tundra (12m) : This might be the kill shot here
Mucky Tundra (22m) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop
TheKanataThrilla (29m) : Philly DL has come to play
TheKanataThrilla (30m) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night
Mucky Tundra (35m) : ok scratch that
Mucky Tundra (40m) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it
TheKanataThrilla (41m) : KC jumped and they call it on Eagles. WTF refs
TheKanataThrilla (1h) : If he was offside why did you let him pop the QB?
TheKanataThrilla (1h) : I like that Eagles are controlling time of possession so far.
Mucky Tundra (1h) : If the Eagles are going to win, this is how they do it: jump all over the Chiefs and don't let it turn into a close one
TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Bad throw created that penalty.
TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Amazed Philly got that hit to the helmet call.
packerfanoutwest (1h) : refs just called an OPI,,,bullshit
dhazer (2h) : final score Chefs 24 Eagles 21 Refs 3
Mucky Tundra (4h) : feels like it hurts everyone but starters
Mucky Tundra (4h) : *cut down on snaps that
Mucky Tundra (4h) : beast, no not at all. Just seems counterproductive to cut down on snaps to help back ups get playing time and get potential money after cuts
Zero2Cool (5h) : So, Jets tell Rodgers they're moving on? QB2 for Packers haha
Zero2Cool (5h) : Hey, I'm not saying it's the great idea. I'm saying, it's what I think will happen.
beast (5h) : You think they give a crap enough about bubble guys to make rules for them?
Mucky Tundra (6h) : So games that will be even *more* sloppy the first two or three weeks of the season?
Zero2Cool (9h) : I think you can figure most starters won't be playing either of the two games at all.
Mucky Tundra (22h) : is 2 preseason games enough for bubble guys to make a mark?
packerfanoutwest (8-Feb) : true.forgot about that
Zero2Cool (8-Feb) : Unless they reduce preseason from three to two games.
packerfanoutwest (8-Feb) : If Goodell allows an 18 game season, there will be a SB on Valentines Day
Zero2Cool (8-Feb) : Perfect football player. - Ron Wolf on Sharpe
Zero2Cool (8-Feb) : Sharpe didn't celebrate TD's ... crazy I didn't realize it back then
Martha Careful (7-Feb) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe
Mucky Tundra (7-Feb) : beast, you didn't miss much with that one. Raiders didn't update their play calls, audibles etc so the Bucs D steamrolled
buckeyepackfan (6-Feb) : That was quick, one thing Jordan said was he doesn't agree with Josh Jacobs, that the Packers need to go get a proven #1 wr
buckeyepackfan (6-Feb) : J-10VE on ESPN NOW!
beast (6-Feb) : I was young and didn't get enough sleep... fell asleep during the Buccaneers/Raiders Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : Patriots / Panthers feeling is what I got. didn't watch that one either
Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : Easier to get a camera on her in the suite where she can't impact the game by being distraction???
TheKanataThrilla (5-Feb) : This is the least excited I have been in a long time for a Super Bowl. Unfortunately they both can't lose.
wpr (5-Feb) : So why don;'t they have her on the sidelines and doing the halftime fandango instead of sitting on her but in a $1,000,000 suite?
Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : Think more eyes on Super Bowl with Swift fans pulling for her TE boyfriend?
Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : She dating the TE of the Chiefs.
Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : Taylor Swift has millions of fans, yeah?
Zero2Cool (5-Feb) : They did. They are going to show the post production Sunday with plethora of ads.
wpr (5-Feb) : I thought KC already won
Zero2Cool (4-Feb) : If you wanna post about the Super Bowl, please, by all means, open a topic. They are free this month! 😁
Zero2Cool (4-Feb) : There doesn't need to be a topic. There's a playoff prediction thread.
