Re: Mike McCarthy Is Lost

geez, rookie, read my archieves for more information about how i posts. Until you do, i will ingore you.

Your view has been made quite clear Tank. Any person here with at least 4 total posts is crystal clear on your views. I have one question:

WILL

IT

EVER

END?

...........meaning your obsession with the pro Sherman/bash TT and M3?

If they take the Packers to the Superbowl would you be happy?

No, it won't..Tank is a fucking moron, plain and simple. It won't end and he'll never come up with anything worthhis weight in shit. That's a cold hard fact.

Re: Mike McCarthy Is Lost

Everything former coach Mike Sherman was, McCarthy is the opposite. Sherman was a disciplinarian when knew exactly where each of his players were in the off season.

APB, Sherman had many fine qualities and I think he was a good coach. But he was no disciplinarian.

And I'd bet he had just as many absences during his voluntary OTAs as McCarthy, esp. if you consider Sherman averaged many fewer practices in the offseason (esp last 5 seasons) than McCarthy is running right now.

McCarthy's biggest problem is learning how to distract the media from making the number 14 the biggest story of the week. He needs remedial PR work so he won't ever say again he doesn't know the answer to the question.

I'm not sure about this. I think Sherman had the respect of his players. They played very hard. Umm, the criticism of him that I find most valid is he too often made poor decisions under pressure. His game planning was good, but time-critical decisions not-so-hot.

His regular season game decisions where fine, especially at the end of the season but his playoff game decisions, when the pressure cooker was on, where very bad. If Sherm had been able to manage playoff games he would have made it to a SB. He had some loaded Os and in 2003 should have got there.

He couldn't figure out when to throw the red flag to save his life.

Sherm couldnt decide if he was a man a faith or a man of science. He always appeared to be fighting himself. Should just went with his gut feeling.

Re: Mike McCarthy Is Lost

So if they make it to the playoffs in 2006, the rhetoric stops, right?

Pack won't make the playoffs in '06, or not any time in the near future. The year 2045 is the next time Pack will make the Playoffs again, unless Thompson is fired after this season.

I will root for Pack to win every game this season, but some times we all must face the truth: BECAUSE OF TED THOMPSON'S DOING, THE PACKERS SUCK. If you think 4-12 doesn't suck, then you are delusional.

Did you watch any games last year? The reason the Packers were 4-12 last year is because the team was had a rash of INJURIES! They also lost 5 of their games by 3 points or less, If they would have won those 5 games the packers would have been 9-7 and it be a remarkable year. Due to the fact with all of the injuries. I was in Greenbay today with my wife and I read in the GreenBay Gazette that MM3 is doin a great job. Nick Barnett (the player not the poster) said so. For Ted Thompson, that draft he had was awesome! They will have a solid year.

bah, it was not just injuries. That is illogical. If Shermie the GM gave them quality depth, then those injuries wouldn't have mattered as much as they did.

New England got hit with more injuries then the Pack did. The difference is they have quality depth because they know how to draft. They made it to the divisional round of the playoffs.

Partial, the comparison to NE is not reasonable. NE did not lose their top 3 running backs to injury, plus 3 of their 5 wide receivers. No one could lose that many skill positions and bounce back.

NE has dealt well with their injuries but the comparison is pretty short-sighted.

Re: Mike McCarthy Is Lost

boy sure glad sherman isnt here anymore. wonder if he will sleep during a texans game

geez, rookie, read my archieves for more information about how i posts. Until you do, i will ingore you.

I'd read your "archieves", but I highly doubt you've ever "archieved" anything. If you want me to read your archives, all they would tell me is that 007 should never trust you to keep your word because you don't. Pay up. And all the crap you spout is from the past. It's over already. History. Wahle is gone. Sherman is gone. Get over it. Move on and look toward the future.

touche. However, they did lose a
pro bowl safety ( Rodney Harrison )
a pro bowl middle linebacker ( Teddy Bruschi )
a pro bowl defensive end ( Richard Seymore )
Corey Dillion missed several weeks
had defensive depth so depleted they had a receiver starting at corner


They had plenty of injuries. Just as many as we had if not more.

I agree with the number of injuries. They had a lot. Your point about depth with NE is well taken also. However, where depth helps is when you lose one player, not all of them.

For example, they lost Harrison, with THREE safeties remaining that started the season. Seymore was lost, but teams carry 4 DT's, Brucshi was gone with 5 able teamates to replace him, and corey dillon was out, with two other backs behind him.


Now, with GB, Green and Davenport go down, then Fisher goes down. Walt williams was brought back and breaks his foot. Now, you have an ENTIRE stable of backs on the roster that weren't even in training camp.

WR's - 3 of the 5 wide receivers weren't on the team opening weekend.

This is NOT a depth problem. Depth problems did exist, but NOT AS THE RESULT OF AN INJURY. You cannot overcome the number of injuries at few positions such as what GB experienced last year.

Your comparison to depth is apples/oranges. Bellichek could not have overcome what happened to GB last year. He needs knowlegable, informed bodies. You don't get those off of waivers or someone elses practice squad during week 7.

Except Samkon...

Except Samkon...

So, instead of being 3-13 they were 4-12? Doesn't this prove my point?

[MJZiggy]

Oh, I agree with what you said, I just didn't want Sam to be forgotten--he was such a happy exception.
