I actually think its funny how many people on here don't keep an open mind. If something is written that makes the Packers look good they are great writers but yet when someone writes bad they are idiots.

Lets take a look at our offseason:

We sign backup players in Smith, Preston , Williams (which everyone said should be paid big money a few months ago) and Bush.
Grade: F or optimistic D-

Defense: we sign a d cord that brings in a new defense ( I like the idea) but yet we have to change how or main players play. AK has to now work in wide spaces, Woody and Al now will have to goto zone (which Al sucks at) and now have Collins as the main guy to recognize the o-sets (he blows alot of coverages and now he has the defense)

Grade C- ( to much of the unknown to grade otherwise)


Draft we got 1 starter the way it looks. Our #9 pick is slated as a backup and then the rest of the draft was great to say we have bodies for backups.

Grade B because the rest of the media thinks we did well.


I think our offseason was below average but then again compared to most with Ted Thompson at the helm is was a popular one. Because he usually doesn't do shit.

Just because a team LOOKS like it did good by picking up FA's, or who APPEARS to be the next great thing from the draft, is no guarenteee that they will do well when the real games start.

So why shouldn't Packer fans look positively at this coming season?
Our D was the weak point last year, and we changed DC and scheme.
Shouldn't we see that as a positive step? Will it work? NO ONE knows for sure. But that goes with ANY team, right?
Just because a team did good last year, does that guarentee a good year this coming season?
Should we all look at this coming season as "doom and gloom" like some posters do?
Yes, it's true we didn't sign any "big name" FA's. So that means we did lousy and will suck this year?
I believe our offense will improve, and our D should improve.
So i prefer to think positive about the coming season.
Those that want to look at it as "doom and gloom", you have the right to do so...........but i don't know WHY you would want to.

But im still waiting on how you can give a shitty defense and A for the offseason because they brought in a new d-cord. So your saying we went from one extreme to the other because of a coach.

Agreed, funny how when Fran Tarkenton gives his opinion we care and state "thats his right" yet when someone gives one we disagree with they are idiots.

GB's off-season has been sub-par. All we did was replace a Def. Coord and in the process pissed off our best Def. player. We added a few draft picks, as did EVERY other team, and signed some stiffs in FA.

Nationally, the majority of people get it, in GB however the blinders get in the way.
