Something that bothered me last night

[packers11]

Watching the pats/saints game, I saw both Mike McKenzie and chris mcalister both playing very well for the Saints. The packers are very thin at CB at the moment, why wouldn't T.T. look @ 1 of these players (considering they both got picked up last week).

1 of them would be an upgrade over bush. imo.

Thoughts?

McAlister was signed when Al was still healthy. Scratch him off the list.

McKenzie napalmed his way out of GB. He might be the player in the league least likely to play for the Pack. Especially since he was similar to Tausher, injured and recovering, the team wanted him back when he was ready to play. If you think that any other team had a serious chance to steal him away from NO, you apparently haven't looked at NO's record.

I'll tell ya what bothered me. Sean Payton has got a team that is no more talented on paper then us...fired up! Taking guys off the street and plugging them in and having them play like all pros. That teams success is coming from the sidelines..our mediocrity is coming from ours.

It is terrible how much the 7-4 Packers suck.

Mediocre does not equal suck. The Bears suck, we're mediocre.

It sure is.

Sean Peyton has 2 more wins than McCarthy over the same time period, and an identical playoff record. I can't believe Mark Murphy is tolerating these stooges who are destroying our franchise! Fire them all!

Isn't this a bit of an over-reaction? 7-4 doesn't mean suck, but really, outside of the Dallas game have they played anyone with a good record and looked convincing doing it?

This team has a ways to go to be considered a "good team" in my book. Maybe they'll start that trend this week.

Well, looking at it the other way around, two of their losses are to a 10-1 team.

IMO, 7-4 is 7-4.

Emotion will not carry a team past a few plays. Many players have made this point as have coaches. They had a good game, and that success led to more enthusiasm as the game wore on. Don't you find it odd that there is always more enthusiasm on the winning sideline than the losing one? It hardly seems a predictor of success.

Like Mike McKenzie, who was released last spring and couldn't make the Seahawks roster during a tryout this summer, they had a great game. Time will tell if it will continue. I did read last night night that based on W-L records this year, the Saints have faced a top five schedule and the Vikings (and possibly the Packers) are at the bottom.

Doesn't count, doesn't count. I'm so sick of arguments that discount things so the argument can't be made to look stupid. We flat out PUNKED the cowboys and you somehow want to discount it. We have the #1 ranked defense, but it doesn't count either. We have a top 10 offense....doesn't count cuz we are the only team to play bad teams and you can't actually count when we played good teams. Horrible argument.

Bullshit. With parity the way it is in the NFL now, coaching is everything. So many people rip TT, but TT has given Mike Mornhinweg plenty of talent. This team is underachieving at too many levels. If we played inspired football for 60 minutes the way the Saints are right now, we might be 10-1 ' 11-0 too.

How about this one, the Minnesota Vikings had only beaten 1 team with a winning record this season before BALT beat PITT Sunday night. The GREEN BAY PACKERS. Why do they get a pass? They have played DET (2x), CHI, CLE, STL, SEA and SF. Nobody is even suggesting that they should discount these wins for the Vikings!

Favre has injected life into that team, the way he did here in the past. Maybe we're lacking leadership on the field as well. I havent seen it on defense since Butler left really. I still say it has to come from the sidelines first.
