Whatevs guys, TT's hitting idkfa this year.
if we're bad again it's on tt for keeping capers and drafting for o in 2014.
If we don't upgrade at safety and our D struggles there again all of packerrats should call Ted Thompson a complete dipshit for missing the boat AGAIN at that position
On offense we've went long spells without several key players due to injury and we were just fine. Now w/o AROD we're screwed and we know that. But when AROD was there think of some of the injuries we've overcome and stayed well above water.
We're much better and deeper......... on that side of the ball.
^^^ Worthy, like everyone else, was injured. Even though it's right on cue, it is really difficult to assess the defense with all those guys hurt.
It would be nice if we could just toss Capers into a burlap sack, beat him with reeds, and have the whole defense fixed, but it's probably not that simple.
But, this is getting repetitive. I'm gonna take a pass on this subject from now 'til camp....
So if what I'm reading is correct,
Injuries do not matter. It's an all or nothing proposition. If all 11 starters on D miss 8 games this year, the D should still be good no matter what. Anyone that says injuries are a factor is an idiot homer.
Does this about sum it up?
injuries happen in football, deal with it
and most of the major injuries last year happened to guys on the offense, and the offense still ranked 3rd in the entire NFL in yards and 8th in points per game
the defense lost their #3 cb, their OLB (and best player for about half a year), and a situational d-lineman (worthy). others might have missed a game or two for some bumps and bruises. but for the most part this unit was intact minus their best player for half a year.
they still ranked as one of the worst in the nfl
on offense, the until lost its best player (rodgers) for half the year, and the backup QB for the year. their #2 WR (cobb) for 2/3rds of the year, the top TE for for 2/3rds of the year. the starting LT or RT for whole season (bulaga), the other possible starter at tackle, or at least top backup (sherrod) for the whole season. their top RB (lacy) for a couple games, and some games missed by other guys here and there for bumps and bruises
if any unit should have sucked because of injuries it was the offense, yet they managed to overcome the injuries to still rank near the top
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just telling you how you're acting and helping your fake internet points better reflect your actual reputation as an armchair GM on a throne of hubris, hyperbole, and militant argument from ignorance. I have no issue with you spouting your trash, everyone does that on this site, but being right about predicting opposition to an idea isn't the same as being right, its building a red herring to poison the well... aka being a dipshit.
Calling someone a little cry baby pussy over your fake internet points seems a little self-contradicting as well.
The playoff game is all that people remember but in 2012 we were the 11th ranked scoring defense despite the injury luck. At the beginning of 2013 it looked like we were building on that as well, I think at one point they even breached the top 10 before collapsing to 24th. Top 15 isn't just within reach it should be expected IMO.
4 years ago it was CB, then O-line, then HB, and now S....you guys do realize every team in the NFL has a weakest. Can't have pro bowlers at every position and while I agree he does need to upgrade the position the man is far from a dipshit just because we don't win the Super Bowl every season.
How about simply advancing to the NFC Championship game as we saw with the R. Wolf; M. Sherman; T. Thompson / B. Favre era.
The Brett Favre - Ron Wolf; Mike Sherman and Ted Thompson era (1992 - 2007 or 16 Seasons) produced Four (4) NFC Championship games and two (2) NFC Champonships under Green Bay Packers GM Ron Wolf and Brett Favre (1992 - 2007).
Vs:
The Ted Thompson era 2005 -2013 or nine (9) Seasons = One (1) NFC Championship game and one (1) Championship.
Is Ted Thompson wasting Aaron Rodgers outstanding skill set?
Fish in a barrel.
It seems that you're muddling Brett Favre's career into your TT vs Wolf comparison.
Wolf was GM for 9 seasons. His postseason record: 1992 missed; 1993, 1994 lost in divisional; 1995 lost NFCC; 1996 won SB; 1997 lost SB; 1998 lost WC; 1999 missed; 2000 missed
Ted Thompson has been GM for 9 seasons. His postseasons: 2005, 2006: missed; 2007: NFCC; 2008: missed; 2009: lost WC; 2010 won SB; 2011 lost div; 2012 lost div; 2013 lost WC.
Both made the playoffs 6/9 times as GM. Both had 1 SB victory, 1 lost NFCC, 2 divisional losses, and 1 WC loss. The main difference is that Wolf made it to a second Superbowl.
TT has gone all out IMO. I'm happy with what has happened. If it goes sour then goodbye Capers cuz I think TT is writing his swan song and wants a spectacular finish.
