    I think Callahan has a shot to be a decent QB. He showed some arm strength and moxie in college. Always thought he had potential.

    I always thought Callahan looked better than Hundley.

    Well, I didn't always think that. But after one flat performance by the starter, I'm certain the backup is better. (Not JUST mocking you, I actually do suspect Callahan might be a steadier presence. Time to rally the fan club...)

    That deep shot to Cobb was a decent throw, especially since no one else was open.

    Both Janis and Davis should be used as deep threats. Why not 5-10 snaps. But the underthrow on the deep ball to Nelson off the play action makes me a little skeptical about Hundleys arm strength and/or deep accuracy.

    I'm going to revisit my theme of put up or shut up. So far there has been ZERO put up from Hundley. I can excuse the coming in cold against minnesota. I can forgive MM for pampering him in N.O. This is the must put up game though. Coming off a bye week against a familiar opponent, MM MUST have Hundley ready. If he turns in a clunker than forget draft and develop. Its time for a new HC, GM and definitely DC. We need to win or be in it with less than 5 minutes to go. Hundley has to look serviceable. If not, heads should roll.

    The Packers could lose out and there is a 0% chance MM is not the coach next year and TT isn't the GM if he wants to be. Capers... now that's another story and he would almost certainly be let go.

    We can only hope. Perhaps he'll "retire"?

    I don't know. The colts lost Peyton and got the #1 pick and the entire regime was fired.

    Funny, just had lunch with 1 of the Packers front office staff CPAs, he said there is nothing else the Packers can do with their profits but reinvest in the facilities and the team. The can’t declare a dividend and payout their cash. They don’t have an owner that draws a salary and takes a distribution. So the stupid notion that the Packers don’t care as long as the stadium is full is complete bs.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    Doesn't Mark Murphy draw a salary?

    Yes, all the executives get a salary and the BOD gets paid for being on the board. I am sure he gets paid a lot less than the owner/executives and he doesn't get to take a distribution of the profits.

    I was talking to Paul Baniel, VP of Financial & Administration.

    Really, nice guy.

    I said the one thing I would love as a ticket holder is 4 more inches for my seat. I said I knew they could never do it. Paul said he has tickets at the end of a row and he is lucky to have 1 butt cheek on the bleachers during the cold games.

    Then another guy at our table said the Packers should put seats in instead of bleachers. Paul just laughed. He said when the Packers put the south endzone addition on it was briefly looked at. They would have lost more than 10,000 seats.

    I would volunteer to host another ticket holder on my lap in exchange for a seat.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    I would say the verdict is in on this dumpster fire. MM was ill prepared with his hand trained backup QB. I can't recall who our punt returner is anymore. The only 3rd down stop we had all day our best defensive player headbutted someone. And this was all after a bye week.

    I do believe that the collective bargaining rule changes have hurt team stubby. Draft and develop is much harder and teams around the NFL are putting forth shit products (except the eagles). Also if this doesn't do Dom Capers in, mail in next year too.

    I say fire Dom now. Shake it up a little; that performance, given the relative health of the defense and the bye week, was inexcusable. You can't change the whole scheme, but you can change some of the calls and the emphasis.

    Mike McCarthy gives max credit for the Lions win last night to their success on 3rd downs differential.

    He said words to this effect ' looking at it Stafford threw the heck out of the ball '.

    An honest or more forthright Head Coach might have simply said 'we simply stunk out there that Packer team looked bad onbothsides of the ball '.

    It sure appears to me that we're stuck with both TT and MM and likely because 'it's just one Big Family' Dom Capers too.


    Read this 'loud and clear':

    Brett Hundley is not an NFL quality QB.

    If Colin Kapernick is being Black Balled we are about to find out as either the Texans or the GREEN BAY Packers should logically sign him like today. Ted Thompson will get another fail if he doesn't do something and QB today because right now he doesn't have an NFL QB that is capable of winning unless all the Packer WR's get on board and trying to catch not much more than a 30 yard pass. Brett Hundley looks really bad, really rattled. He's not a decent QB with the temperment I see.

    Ted Thompson sign Colin Kapernick today or do something else
    that's more positive and another obvious miss and drafting Bret Hundley. What were you thinking TT given how he played the position in College; a miracle !?
