If we would have had any sort of a defense those years when we had Dickey would have been a lot more successful. We could score at will but couldn't stop a Pop Warner offense.

Frustrating, but entertaining during the Dickey years.

If you can stand it, go back and watch that playoff game in 1982 against the Cowboys, and remember too that the Pack had won an earlier playoff game against what was then the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Cowboys went up and down the field, seemingly at will. Dickey would get the team into the end zone, and zip! The Cowboys would come right back and score. I still shudder.

The whole season in 1983 was that way.

offense - 429 points scored, 26.8 points/game
defense - 439 points surrendered, 27.44 points/game.

Average of 54 points scored in each game.

Lofton had 1300 yards on just 58 receptions, for 22.4 yards/reception.
Dickey threw for 4400+ yards.

[Fritz]

Dickey had a lot of interceptions, too. Three in the Dallas game. But my perception is that he was often throwing out of a kind of desperation to keep up with the other team. Heck, in the big St. Louis playoff victory, the Cards only scored sixteen points, but man, did they ever have a lot of yards.

Had Dickey had better knees and a better defense, he might've been seen as Starr's successor, instead of all of us having to wait for Favre.

If Richard Rodgers hadn't caught the Rodgers Hail Mary in Detroit, good chance that Davante Adams comes down with it.

Bears have released kicker Chris Blewitt. This had to happen.

Did it really take you 8 years to come up with that come-back?

I had two posts ready to go and I really wanted the bring back the random thought of the day, so I bumped both threads.

Michael Cohen is leaving GB for an East Coast gig. He did a podcast to say goodbye and revealed some interesting things about himself and the folks in GB.

He suffers from bouts of depression and being in a completely new town doesn't seem like it was easy. If you read a bit between the lines, it seems like this combo made this job a bit of a lonely outpost.

He underwent two knee surgeries while in GB and Pat McKenzie did both. Also worked with McKenzie's chief PT person at Bellin.

Closest advisers on the team were Matthews, Adams, Bulaga and King. King started off the relationship by asking of reporters had to pass a test on football like they do at the combine to become team reporters Said all three, especially Adams and Bulaga, went out of their way to help him understand what we had seen on the field the previous Sunday. Joe Whitt would send corrections by email on Tuesday, his off day

Liked the head of the Packers PR/Comms team, whose name I cannot recall now. VP of Communications though.

Its a good listen, even if you don't regularly listen to podcasts, I'd give it a try. You can just use your computer here: https://soundcloud.com/user-120486194

The problems the Packers face are nothing compared to the horror in Houston over the past two years, and I'm not talking about the weather.

And I thought baseball had the most immaturity given all the drafted HS players.

Then again, what does Chris Paul have to lose at this point?
