As the post season rolls on I am sure there will be more discussions about what the Packers need to get back to the Super Bowl. Some of these discussions will be intense.
Just a reminder that personal attacks are not allowed.

But, everyone does know that McCarthy executed a well performed parody of the outside perception of Ted, right?
I've always thought it was an inherit thought that when a team of any type doesn't win the championship that all could have done more from the top to the bottom.
We all want the Packers to do more, it's just that most aren't irrationally wanting to lop off everyone's head and ranting about doing precisely that in every thread.

This team played to its potential for 8 games. It proved standing pat that Ted collected more than enough depth and talent to get a bye, probably get #1 seed and play Atlanta in GB.
It's like having MD Jennings at safety is not good and the angry vocal minority clamors “all in” and "Ted is dumb" for doing nothing to improve the position. Really? Maybe Dashon Golden didn’t want to come to GB at any cost. OR maybe Ted employing more than the “eyeball test” realized Golden wont upgrade the position very much, so paying $8.2M per for a small upgrade is just out right stupid. It’s the cap era, sometimes standing pat is the very best move.
This article proves there was nothing that Ted could do this year. Even with hate and hindsight McGinn failed miserably to make a cogent argument. And McGinn knows it, that why he chose not to lay out all the evidence fairly. He knew to try to justify his headline he had to puff the players that Ted failed to acquire to get over the top. And he failed to mention that Ted cant just do what he wants, he’s competing against 31 other teams for an Eric Rowe. I bet if Ted offered a 1st for Rowe, Philly tells NE what they have to beat. Philly didn’t want Rowe going to a 2016 opponent and conference adversary. And of course since when does a team with a bad secondary look to move a #47 pick at start of 2nd year. Something bad was up about Rowe.
