6-10 ............. Who is to blame?

[Gunakor]

As far as Thompson, this should be the year that he goes out and gets some veteran talent. While I have bitched about this for quite a while, now I think it would be in Thompsons best interest to look for a big name player to appease the fans. If going from 13-3 to 6-10 isnt enough to light a fire under his ass to bring in better talent........

I agree with you. It's a lot easier to notice where the holes are on your team after a 6-10 season than it is when you finish 13-3, which is why I don't blame Thompson for what did and did not transpire last offseason. But it is also why I am holding his feet to the fire this offseason. The problems are much more evident now, and now that we know what they are, they must be fixed.

If after the disappointment that was 2008 these problems are not fixed, I and many other Thompson supporters will hold Thompson responsible for not doing so. His legacy hinges on what happens between now and next August. He doesn't have to win a Super Bowl next season, but he must fill the holes on this team that have become ever more glaring since the end of the 2007 season. If he fails, that's what he'll be remembered as here in Green Bay. If he succeeds, Packer Nation will acknowlege that success. It's all dependent on what he does or doesn't do in the coming months.
