If you're referring to me, that's rich. Please, tell me the evidence I've dismissed that counters my viewpoint.

They were probably going to cut him. One thing about when we've kept other guys around longer is we didn't have as good of DL depth that we do now. They probably just see guys like Boyd and Thornton as at least similar talent wise as Worthy but they aren't coming off ACL and back surgery. No need to keep a guy around when you've got similar talent that's healthy.

While we don't have any overwhelming studs on our D Line, we have a lot of depth and even if healthy Worthy may have been odd man out.

Hey, I LOVE psychology and sociology. Subjectivity vs. objectivity is always going to be an issue. Ethnocentrism as well. Wiring is hard to unwire.

However, if you want to throw out that term for me and not others, I find that hysterical, especially here. I try very hard to be fair....not supportive. I do not enjoy Ted Thompson as a GM and that is not because I just don't like him it is based on how I view his hits and misses. I'm beyond thankful Rodgers is our QB, but I'm disappointed Ted Thompson has failed to put a team around him especially on D. If you really want to be frank as Ted Thompson would say, he's done a terrible job on that side of the ball. How many years is Clay not going to have an adequate complement? How many years is safety going to be a black hole? How many years are we going to get pedestrian play from our ILB's? How many years are we going to fail to trot out a quality DL with depth for rotation purposes.

My interpretive view is based on the failings of this team. Many others interpretive view is based on the fact we get to the playoffs. That is a simple thing to do when you have the best QB in the history of the NFL under center. You should get to the playoffs with that guy. To lose out like we regularly do is embarrassing considering we have the best QB. Manning didn't have all that good of teams in Indy either. They give him a team...and he's in the bowl with the highest scoring O in NFL history. Favre goes to Minny and finally gets some stud weapons and posts his best season as a pro. Ted Thompson needs to build a team before Rodgers ends up one and done in the career ring category. Tick, tick, tick but it's all just great in Green Bay because we make the playoffs????? I will never ever get that...ever.

My major? It was El Ed but I graduated with highest honors in broadcasting after a switch.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I didn't throw out the term. I just admired it being used in a sentence. Why is this being made out to be anything more than that?

Anyways, it's all relative. People tend to argue when their opinions are formed from different premises. That's all well and good. That's why we have forums. I'm just enjoying the show my friend.

Many teams would KILL to win their division and make the playoffs every year. I am fairly young, so I am lucky. The packers have been contenders almost every year I have been a coherent fan. Only 1 of 32 teams can ultimately be the winner any given year and I feel Thompson puts us in position each year. I WANT TO HEAR WHAT YOU WANT IN A GM!!!

The focus is different as I said earlier...you want to celebrate divisional championships ( a pet peeve of mine) while I believe rings are all that should matter. Lombardi was a winning is the ONLY thing guy. The fans of today can't relate to that sentiment...too busy basking in the glory of things that aren't even penultimate.

I don't know a fan of any team that goes into the year with the sole goal of hoping to win the division championship. I watch in the hopes we can luckily win one when I should be watching us as favorites considering who our QB is... we're barely top 3 in the NFC. That is sad.

There's no way it could be schematic considering New England runs the same scheme. They just have a better coach.

[palm] My goodness. You didn't watch it, did you? Go back and explain to me which teams had a need at QB who drafted before the Packers. I believe there is even a clip on YouTube where it shows him in the green room picks before we picked and the ESPN crew talking about Green Bay being the logical place for him to go.

So let me get this straight, because other teams have been mediocre GB fans should be happy that their team is winning a division and the others are not? GB fans should never expect their team to try and achieve more because other teams can't do that? Doesn't make sense to me at all. Winning the division is just the first step. Once a team is in place to do that then they need to sake the next step and try to put a team out there that will consistently go deep into the playoffs. This bubble GB has been on will not last forever. That GB has ben able to ride it for so long is an amazing feat. Most of which is due to the 2 starting QBs they have had during this period. It would be a shame to walk away with only 2 SBs in 25 years.

Fan Shout
beast (1h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status
Zero2Cool (1h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha
TheKanataThrilla (2h) : That was terrible.
TheKanataThrilla (2h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.
beast (2h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent
beast (2h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime
beast (2h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing
Zero2Cool (3h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is
Zero2Cool (3h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true
beast (4h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management
wpr (6h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Mucky Tundra (13h) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago
beast (14h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years
Zero2Cool (21h) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.
packerfanoutwest (21h) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it
beast (22h) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done
Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.
Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore
packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!
Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!
beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won
Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky
