But so many free agents has it’s own problems. Most of those guys were retired or gone to other teams by 99, the window shut hard on that team after the 97 season.

But there were several plays with completely blown assignments. Capers can’t do much in those cases. For instance on the long run for a TD… Walden didn’t even try to find the ball. Pretty much the whole D bit on the fake. That isn’t scheme or play call, just bad football.

56, I’ve read that about Capers too. Although, I’m not sure how much stock to put in it.

For me the bottom line is they played an awful game.

Let’s also bring up one guy… Nick Collins. He made Capers look a lot smarter. Losing the best safety in the league unexpectedly is hard to overcome.

Kaepernick put up almost 300 yrs on us & we never got a good solid hit on him. Look @ Vick & RG3. No ah that runs that much can stay healthy long. Wish we could have got that big hit but I think he was just too fat & we were never in position. He won’t last long playing college ball in the NFL.

Guys! Guys! Come On! Packers defensive line during 96 was not drafted! Wolf made the line! Reggie, Gilbert, Sean jones and too drunk to remember the dt from the buccaneers! Thompson needs to learn from Wolf and pickup key defensive linemen! Capers needs to go and Thompson has to get over his lds and get key defensive linemen! I trust Thompson except his philosophy of completely thru the draft! Love my pack but come on! Go Pack Go

The defense let Kaepernick set the all-time record for rushing yards by a quarterback.

This wasn’t totally the D’s fault, but they sure weren’t helping, either.

Maybe I,ll wait a few days to post anymore but it always seems thuere’s one or two players that we must can,t account for. Hey he,s a DC & I sell retail so I place him in much higher regard than me.

Frankly, I’d chalk it up to that more than Capers or any one player. Meanwhile, the Packers spotted them 14 with two of the worst turnovers of the season. You can change coordinator, but I’m not sure that was the problem.

One should also consider the injury situation… I’d bet that the Packers are the only team in the playoffs with this number of injuries. Fact is their top tier depth was gone at several positions. How many teams can place their last three #1 draft picks on IR and still win 11/12 games? Their IR list is about 1/3 of a game day roster.

He’s been with GB 4 seasons now, and fielded a sold defense one time. Should he get one more year?
