Be nice if we could find a kicker who can hit a FG from outside 40 yards also.

I’m from Pennsylvania and a few years ago I went to my first game in Lambeau Field with my (Steeler fan) father. The Pack was playing the Bears and Chicago jumped out to a 14-6 lead at half. There was a very loud, annoying Bears fan behind us who would yell, “Super Bears, super bowl!” every time the bears would make a play. When the Pack came back out after half, they stomped the Bears and by the end of the game the Bears fan was yelling “Super Bears, super pick.” Well, it’s time for me to dejectedly say ‘Super Pack, super pick.” because there is just no salvaging this season, especially with TT and MM not committing to changing anything.

I hope TT and MM get canned this year, even if they do manage to make the playoffs. If we do pull off the miracle of making the playoffs, it will be solely because of our pathetically weak schedule. I don’t want to see them get the boot because of driving Favre’s old ass out, after all, I am quite pleased with Aaron Rodgers, but rather, because they just completely suck. They’ve done nothing but to bring our team back to mediocrity.

I agree with Jordan – why the hell was MM selected as head coach in the first place? He had no credentials to speak of; he was just a bad assistant for bad teams. There were other, better coachers available when MM took over. I also agree with nick, we need Cowher, or someone like him. Someone who can put the passion to win in our players and the drive to play hard on every down. Murphy needs to man up and get these idiots out of Wisconsin.

I also hate how MM and TT supporters point to the ’07 season as showing potential in these guys. It was Favre that drove the team to play good that season. Now we don’t have that veteran leadership anymore and MM just doesn’t discipline his players. He just seems like a moron anyway.

I hate seeing my team play like shit; I hate a season where there is just no hope of accomplishing anything. I’m almost on the verge of rooting for them to suck just to get better management in.

Problem though with how we’ve wasted a couple years with some great players is your going to see some problems in our corners soon. They are great, woodson is outstanding for their ages, but age will slow them down eventually and that may not be far away. We will have problems with our Oline, problems with our Dline, corners need attention, we need a star linebacker, give grant a chance once offence is clicking with a great oline, i think he can manage. And of course as always, lets find another jon ryan to replace our shi**y punter, to only release him when he’s doing too good. Courtesy of MM/TT. Hopefully the new GM/HC NEXT year won’t be so “nice to us”

And I think fixing oline for next year won’t be a big issue. That Zone blocking scheme McCarthy has sucks, I mean it hasn’t work since he got here and implemented it. So once thats gone I can only see sacks to slow down… well actually there’s no way in hell we can get more. So as long as we find some really good players we could be ok for oline.. our dline well its manageable.. the biggest thing will be our lb situation. For a 3-4 we need great LB’s and they need to be used properly. I mean we have to use them to give pressure, we need their help to cover. So Dom Capers better know what he’s doing if were able to pull in a couple really good LBs.

It might be a very interesting off season, and well expect the same long dried our one if MM/TT stay. And hopefully if Mark plans to do some firing, he acts real quick once the season ends. Lets not waste time in turning this freight train around cause it takes a long time to turn around a freight train.

I am so afraid that come year end–MM gets the axe, TT stays and in another brilliant move appoints Dom Capers as head coach.

If that happens I will personally drive to GB and “take that stupid pen from the band in his hat and stab” TT “with it”. I hate to plagiarize (I did put it in quotations) but I can think of no better fitting way for him to end.

Joe, your reference to Lindy “We were three plays away” Infante is apt. Both Infante and McCarthy use the same tired refrain week after weak, er, week. Bad coaches offer that kind of crap.

I hope that come the end of the season TT and MM are a package deal as firings go. I don’t trust that TT could make a decent hire for a new HC.

The culture at Packers HQ needs to change come next season.

Have enjoyed reading the comments on this site for a few years now. Everyone has commented on all the various problems with the team this year, so I won’t add anything further to that commentary. Instead, I would point to Ted Thompson as the source of most of the problems with the Packers. He picked a pretty unknown entity in McCarthy as head coach, and he has largely been responsible for the current roster. Everyone wanted to give McCarthy a shot, and the 2007 season seemed to point to McCarthy coming into his own. Of course Brett having a solid year along with a strong defense and Ryan Grant helped greatly with that 13-3 year. I think we need a new gm and probably a new head coach. We need to rebuild this team in the draft and with free agents. Offensive line, defensive line and probably another RB are must-haves. Thompson has to go. He is the source of the stingy manner in which we have maintained this roster. We have some star wr’s, a good qb and seasoned corners but none of that matters when you have a poor GM.
