Did they give McGinn and Cohen the boot? That Nagler guy might as well be my neighbor, recording videos on his backyard patio. Also, am I the only person who does NOT want to stare at pasty faced strangers giving/having interviews over their crappy phones?
I actually agree with a chunk of the article, although I find it interesting that they chose to go with comparing with Denver and NE instead of the NYJ. Also, the Jets have had much higher draft position than GB, so maybe they have more reason to complain?
Injuries will derail a season or a career.
We light up McGinn like he's the devil, but there are writers all over making similar points
Ah, so you were starting this thread to troll certain posters.Quote:

One could only hope that Cohen got the boot.
That goober needs to go back to writing for high school newspapers
The article is fine. They haven't got a blockbuster D out of those draft picks. Nothing like the 49ers had after 10 years of drafting in the Top 10.
But the article doesn't mention that the Defense, despite several high visibility meltdowns, has actually outperformed the Offense in several of the last few playoffs.
The problem is the variability.
At times, the unit has performed near expectations for such an investment. The fantastic start last year was probably not sustainable, but CB and ILB injuries took that defense apart in quick order. I am far more disappointed in the depth than I am in the first round draft picks.
This is a great time to withold judgement for one more year. CBs should take a step, ILB both still young. Not sure who we draft, but I could see this D improving a lot. Of course that means they will only be average if they do.
OK let me try it in this thread... MM says dunderdummy is a coaching God, and Ted needs to be fired??
Dom is no genius neither is Ted. Can you agree with that ?Quote:

Then Ted needs to be fired for failing to provide talent??Quote:

You've convinced me. I'm going to stop watching the Packers. I don't want to follow something that gives me so much displeasure.
Like I said about you homers 12 years ago... 10-6 is fine for u. Whereas I want to win championships.Quote:

That is close to a perfect season
