Official Packers thumping the Panthers Gameday Thread

[Bretsky]

Say, does anybody know how many games the Pack has lost this year after leading with, say, five or six minutes left in the game?

The special teams were atrocious. I agree with Fred's Slacks - we kept all these guys for ST cuz they were supposedly so good on ST, but the coverage keeps getting gashed up the middle.

Fire Stock at season's end, please.

And Why can't this defense hold a lead? Is it time to jettison Vanilla Bob?

I thought our last two drafts had such am emphasis on specials

I've found my new Fraud; I'd bet they keep Vanilla Bob around for longer but if they do it will be a tragedy

Bretsky, you've been pounding the fire Vanilla Bob drum for awhile and it looks like you have new ammunition.

I'm definitely on the fire Stock bandwagon and am seriously considering joining the fire the Vanilla Bob train.

By my count, the Pack has lost 4 games in which they had a 4th quarter lead. That says all you need to know about the killer instinct of this defense. But while I'm at it... In the Packers last 3 losses, they have scored 27, 29 and 31 points. The defense hasn't even needed to be very good. They just needed to not be very terrible.

We'll we're finding new ways to lose. This time its kick coverage. I want to puke. Not getting the TD at the goal line was huge. Snapping the ball over the QB's head was also huge. All could have been overcome if we just had average kick coverage. Stock needs to go. We've kept so many guys because they are supposedly good on specials. Hunter, Pettaway, Bush, Hall, Kuhn, Peprah, yet carolina starts at mid field after every kick. What a joke.

you hit on something i was also thinking

we did keep a lot of guys because they were better special teams players over guys that were better depth. so now our depth sucks, and our special teams sucks

i didn't like it then, when i thought we would have a good special teams, and i really hate it now

so there is absolutely no reason to keep jarrett bush on the roster, right?

The season was really over when the Packers failed to make the kick and win against the vikings.

Now the Packers have to find 2 or 3 DT's, an OT, an OG, an RB as well as the normal replacement to to attrition (Safety, DT(not redundant), CB, TE, Center).

I would not be suprised if the first round pick by Thompson is a MLB.

Surely, you cannot be suggesting that we deviate from the BPA strategy, can you? After all, thats the ONLY way to draft.

Besides we'll have 22 7th round picks to draft some positions of need. Never fear. Ted is here.
