Can we forfeit the season thread?

[Bretsky]

I forfeit the idea of having a top tier OL
I forfeit the idea of sweeping the division
and I forfeit homerism !

Yeah fuck it. At this point fuck it. MM needs to be fired. TT needs to be fired. DC is a fucktard who doesn't know how to blitz. And the Packers will be worse than the Lions this year, mark my words. Fuck it all. Including the refs who are so full of shit it is coming out their ears. Oh yeah and forfeit the season too.

We have a good share of talent at the athletic positions; now in the offseason TTT may have to pull out his dictionary and look at that offseason thing some teams to to pull in guys like Steve Hutchinson and Darren Sharper to mix in with his developmental future studs.

I think the preseason had us all jumping the gun and thinking this team is closer than they might be.

I compared them to the Saints in the offseason. To me the teams had a lot of similarities. Except they've brought in some nice vets as well as of late. Right now they seem a solid step ahead of us

Ty thinks you that you are right on about acquiring free agents. And, i don't think TT will have to pull out the dictionary. I think that he will be comfortable doing it. Ty says this because we already saw how he reacted in the draft...most were surprised at him trading up. Ty was not.

TT will have a good idea of who can play in DC's defense and who can't. He will fill those positions thru the draft and free agency. Ty also thinks that the line is good, the LBs are solid enough and the secondary needs another CB and safety. So, we are really looking for 2 players..the CB and Safety. And, upgrading the LB. Now, here is what Ty also thinks....Kampman can bring us back a decent player that fits in our defensive scheme better than him....assuming that at the end of the season he still doesn't look comfortable and that we feel he won't make the jump the next year.

And, on offense...we are looking at getting a linemen or two...and possibly upgrading the rb.

Ty still believes this team is a 9-7/10-8 team. Worst case...8-8. And there seems to be a collective forgetting on this board that articles and opinion was that it would take some time for the defense to learn DC's system. Funny, how that is forgotten. ty remembers a certain thread extolling how great DC was...only idiots make judgements after a game or the preseason. You have to have a large enough sample size to make judgements.

Preseason: Ty was one of the few on this board that came out and said that preseason meant nothing and that we were game planning and other teams werent'. Lots of folks were down on Ty for saying this. Once poster was outright pissed that the packers almost lost to the Cards....like a preseason game mattered. Ty was right, they were wrong. Ty never bought into the preseason hype.

The other thing that Ty and only a few others (bobble for one) have said is that people are overrating our talent. Specifically, the WRs. Calling ours the best WR crew in the league. That is a laughable position...and complete homerism. Ty thinks we have some nice players...and some that may eventually prove their merit (jones and jordy), but anyone who thinks our receiving crew is the best is high.

Ty believes in a 5 year plan. This is year 5, however, Ty believes that it really is year 4 since TT didnt' get his own coach in right away. And, we had the Favre thing as well. Ty won't give TT slack on that..but, Ty will say it is year 4 of the MM regime.

Good post. Agree with the receiving corp not really being that good. I guess Ruvell couldn't be a 2nd or 3rd on most teams like someone was once suggesting.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Ruvell: Look, Ty will be the first one to call out that poster for making ridiculous statements, but he wasn't the only one. There were numerous others, not as vigorous or as demonstrative, in defense of RM.

But, you are correct...it pretty much shows the level of homerism, overrating, or misjudging of talent. There is something about the pack that makes folks feel that every player is a bit better than others...or that every low round pick or free agent is a "find" and on his way to becoming a very good player. Hate to break it to you folks....but, low round picks and free agents are that for a reason. Yes, you can find a gem, but you are mostly polishing turds.


And, btw, RM had ZERO catches last week. Thanx for reminding Ty. I'll bump that thread.

I am sticking with my pre-season inflated prediction of 12-3-1.

All we need to do now is go 10-1-1 the rest of the way. Sign Levi Jones, hire Larry Beightol as Line Coach Emeritus, we'll be right as rain.
