We had a bad year. Its everyone's fault. We didn't win the division for the 5th straight year, that sucks. We didn't win the super bowl, that also sucks. Thompson probably could do a better job in free agency. I'm willing to bet money we win the division next season. After that, the playoffs are any given Sunday. I can't handle another off season of the same whiny pointless shit. Bitching for the sake of bitching. Never do I read solutions, only hollow complaints.

We're not just bitching for the sake of bitching. We're fans. We're calling out the epic failure of the team of which we are part owners.

Anybody watching Carolina thoroughly destroy Arizona tonight? Now that's a well put together football team. A nice mixture of youth and veterans. Athleticism all over the field. A defensive scheme that is actually well executed, and an offense that is geared towards the strengths of its players.

We would be getting thoroughly thrashed right now too, and anybody that thinks otherwise is really foolish.

How many people wanted Dom Capers out of here years ago? That's not a solution? Have you read me type over and over and over how we need speed and a red zone TE that commands attention from opposing D coords? Speed at WR...speed from a 3rd down back who can catch and be a weapon on 3rd down. A GM with passion and energy with personality who will stand up and face the media when his team falls short not goes and buries his head like an ostrich. A GM who will use FA and not overpay guys like Bulaga who are nothing but major injury risks. A GM who will fix things before 4 or 5 years go by with terrible play at a position. No solutions? Just whining?

It's tired hearing R E L A X typed out in different forms around here. There is no reason to relax at all. Football is a game of emotion. There is little in Packers land. It's an emotionless stale organization...it was played out all over our MVP's face this season. A direct reflection of this moribund management.

I laugh at the thinking that points to the distant past as a reasoning for why we don't need to change. Welcome to 2016. There is a lot of things that need to change around 1265...the kind of things that happened the offseason before 2010 to get us back to where a team with a QB like 12 should be or very very close every single season.

Keep being happy...I'll keep typing what is wrong and what is right and what should be done. You can continue typing that you don't see anything but complaining. You only see what you want to see anyway so I'm not surprised.

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."

Ted doesn't care for media leaks. Ask Andrew Brandt about that.

If Mike really is talking shit about Ted behind Ted's back, he could be gone sooner than later. Let's not forget Aaron's antics this season either. He might be the source, trying to pit the two against each other. Hard to say.

Who cares about the source? Do you think this is true or not? How could it not be true? Mike McCarthy isn't going to say this publicly so the best you're going to get is something like this...now, it is up to you whether you believe it or not. I believe it 100%. Anyone who actually wants to win would feel this way.

I suspect MMs "fed up" somewhat exaggerated.

Why doesn't it surprise me though that you are loving this. Its more PROOF that you are right, right.

The irony with you is this... If you were in a very bad relationship with a woman you probably would never leave just because the relationship was bad simply because you didn't have a better solution lined up. The situation in Green Bay is stale and uninspiring. What I know is we need to get out of this bad relationship with the hope we won't jump right into another one. MM was coordinator of the 32nd ranked offense when we hired him. To this day, I do not understand his hiring. I get the Thompson thing as he was a Wolf guy but he is the exact opposite of his type A passionate risk taking mentor. We have a D. Coord that should be in mothballs somewhere. He barely had a job with the Patriots when we found him.

I've said I would prefer Eliot Wolf to Ted Thompson. Honestly, a person with personality would be really nice for this organization. Someone who'll use FA. I sat and watched Greg Olsen up there on the FOX set. FA tight end. Ted Ginn FA WR. Some nice draft picks in Benjamin and Kuechly and Gettleman makes a bunch of moves after most experts thought that OL was the worst in the NFL.

No. I want to see this team win SB rings not bow out in the playoffs while we have Aaron Rodgers. When he goes and we have less than an MVP QB only then can I relate to you about being okay with not making it to the show but then I'll be on let's find us a guy who can get us there. It should always be about the relentless pursuit of perfection and anything less sucking like Mike Tomlin said of his teams season. No excuses with injuries...just disappointment. That came from the HC and filters to the fans. Here it's we're proud blah blah blah and the focus of the fans becomes that things are just fine. Nope.

Panthers aren’t blinking this week, up 34-7 in third quarter

The Panthers managed to get through the third quarter without collapsing.

Must be nice.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
