The D&D can still work and I like a healthy cap. I don't entirely fault him for that.

Where I fault him his his defensive eye. How long has this been an obvious emphasis in the draft, or need for this team, yet this continues to be the downfall of this organization.

First off... didn't the turtle beat the hare? ... just checking.

Yes the Packers have had a number of bust in recent years which has hurt the Packers as well as the NFL is changing... like we're seeing the old SS types not being placed at LB. I'm not sure if the Packers have been keeping up with that... and I'm not sure changing Thompson will suddenly change that either.

But we need some help selecting defensive talents...

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 just needs to bring in more mid range FAs to compete with draft picks and add good depth instead of having 5 or 6 UDFAs need to play a good amout of snaps whenever someone gets hurt. He does pretty good on FA signings like Cook we just need some more of those. We already have too much money tied up on big deals and we've seen what happens when those guys don't play up to their contracts. The last thing we need is more of those. We can shave off contracts like Matthews/Shields/maybe Cobb and add some mid/high level FA in a few spots

I hope out "All in" QB is ready to take the pay cut when we need to "reload."

Regardless if Rodgers could play better or not (of course he could), he has largely carried the Packers for years, other than 2010, and he was still the main contributor then.

Going "all in" doesn't have to mean signing top free agents. A couple Jared Cook-type signings could make a huge difference, just like Jared Cook did this season. The Packers are not going to address all of their weakness with the 29th picks in the draft.

He could play better, and he probably would if he had a good defense and some type of running game with an actual starting running back rather than more change of pace players like Monty, Rip, and Michael.

beast (22h) : Martha? 😋
Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.
dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.
beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you
wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.
wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered
wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.
wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?
