  • Ted Thompson's scalp

    I told you so.

    TT went into the season with more cap room than all but a handful of teams, and only one playable backup on the offensive line, Wells.

    You can't blame the problem on injuries, injuries are expected.

    Ah, Harlan. You're not one to waste time, are you?

    Maybe he'll extend the contracts of Colledge and Spitz and use up that cap room!

      I dont think its out of line to be pissed at TT for the shit that happened on the field today. -I have been a big supporter, but the defense still gets a free pass as they are making a big adjustment to a new scheme. The Offense should be better, and so far they look like shit in the regular season.

      I am pissed about what I saw today from the offense.

      What the hell is going on out there?

        I'm pissed and I haven't even watched the game yet! I post first because I don't want my analysis to be clouded by too much information. (I have a vague idea what happened from the talk radio in the car.)

          Because there were so many options available in FA.

          The line needs to play like pros which they can and will.

            I think we have the horses to go deep into the payoffs. That hasnt changed. I think this coaching staff is in deep shit if we dont win 10-11 games.

              This team has major problems. Unfortunately, winning 11 games is a pipe dream. Not behind this O-line.

                And that's the problem. I've been reading from some good posters that our o-line is fine, not to worry, but man, no run game, and constant pass pro breakdowns.

                My biggest problem is putting all our hopes on a 10-year guy with a history of injury. Now the shuffle begins, and it's not going to be pretty.

                  Rodgers is on pace to get sacked about 80 times this year.

                  Jeez, even David Carr only had 76 sacks in his worst year.

                    A veteran back up or two on the offensive line would be nice.

                      music to my ears. we're just too inexperienced there for a team who has an "open window". we aren't rebuilding anymore. we need some veteran depth that can fill in like this. we've got a center. that's IT. the rest of the guys have little game experience.

                        24 hours ago, I would have disagreed.

                        I'm beginning to think your argument might have merit...

                          I would love to see Tauscher brought back if only because I feel he has been a loyal Packer for years and deserves to retire in the G&G on his own terms and eventually enter the PHOF.

                            Disagree completely.

                            I'd love to see Tauscher brought back if he'd be an improvement on the line (and at this point, that might be a possibility).

                            The rest of your reasons don't justify making the move.

                              last week when barbre had lost it, we really didn't have anyone to fill in. this week with the injury, the replacement at least had game experience. the end result wasn't better this week, but probably will next week.

                              barbre played better, but was responsible for one of the sacks and several pressures.

                              no one but the coaches to work with these guys in practice. guys like runyan have been around the block. they may be old, but know every little trick in the book. even and old runyan wouldn't have looked like barbre did last week. he'd have known enough tricks to keep the guy honest.

                              colledge? Hell I hope he was just rusty from little play there during the preseason. if not, well, we're screwed.
