Memo To Ted Thompson

[woodbuck27]

Who is this kid you speak of that we could draft? I'd like to learn more about him. What safeties do you think will be FAs this offseason?

See ** red's Post that you responded to:

college ranks are very week except for one guy, who we might now be able to draft.

there are a handfull of free agents that would be a nice improvement over md jennings/ mcmillian

i don't know if we need to replace burnett too, or just replace the one guy and hope that helps burnett enough for him to become serviceable

and not all those guys are gonna "break the bank"

The loss of Aaron Rodgers has REALLY exposed this team.
From player personnel, to the coaching AND to the front office ... drastic changes are needed. (Hello, Mark Murphy?)
Words.....
More words....
More words.......

Thompson is a complete piece of shit. All the talk about him being this great GM should finally be put to an end (but knowing the idiots around here, it won’t be). This team is designed around 1 player, the D is trash, the majority of the draft picks are complete busts, there is no depth, no development, no adjustments, no coaching — what am I missing here? Fuck McCarthy and Thompson, they’ve lost this team and this franchise."

Either a troll or an idiot. Either way you're a jackwagon not worthy of an internet connection.

See other/better replies to your shit for an actual rebuttal.

I am pretty sure M3 does not have final say over coaches only because I don't think the GM (any GM with leverage) would write that into a contract. Its not the norm. But I do believe T2 does defer to McCarthy on this. McGinn tried to insinuate that Thompson had a to do list and getting rid of Sanders was on it, but like bigger and tougher, Ted didn't seem to get the memo.

Know what the Defense needs? Speed. Saw the Washington and New York game tonight and lots of tackles were made by defenders crashing into O players by just catching up to them or hitting them in the open field before the O could juke them. Speed kills. Lotta tackles after catches made in that game that you do not see when Green Bay is playing D.

As I have said before, and I am saying again, the defense has been a huge, huge, disappointment to me.

I understand the offense blowing chunks. You cycle through three backups - well, any one of them, and about 30 of the 32 league backups would give you a very mediocre showing compared to the starter. So I get that. And throw in the clusterfuck of injuries to the offense - EDS lately, Finley, Cobb, Barclay - and I can understand why points have been so hard to come by.

And I understand that when the other team has a TOP advantage as big as it's been, the defense may not be able to hold up all the time. However, this defense looks like they need to be competing in Pop Warner, not the NFL. The defensive line gets shoved around now, the linebackers are slow, the defensive backfield can't seem to tackle.

But I don't know enough to know if it's the coaching or coaches, or if it's a lack of talent, or what it is. Thompson's invested in the defense in terms of the draft, but they continue to suck.

What is the problem? Just a lack of speed? That and something else? Or something else?

God this is maddening.

Honestly, if they had the same record but lost all these games by scores like 17-16 or 19-10 or something, I'd be frustrated for sure, but I'd be able to write it off as the injuries on offense. I could live with that. But this defense laying down like a three penny whore, well, I can't stand that. I can't figure it out.

This is actually when teams make move that look good initially, and then backfire. A new scheme by a proven guy would immediately look better (if its any kind of personnel fit) because no one would know what to expect. The 2nd year would be the adventure.

So perhaps they should change the scheme once a year.

Denver did that for several years at the end of Shanny's time here. He'd fire the DC and start over the following year. It didn't work out so well.

In a lot of these threads i see people saying the offense is down because a-rod is out

Lets not forget that our offense looked to be having an "off" year even before a rod and cobb went down

And things might not just get magically better once a rod gets back because things were not all that great before the injury

The offense might not have been clicking at 2011/2012 levels but it was good enough for us to be 5-2 before The Injury.

Of course you noted :

That the Packers with Aaron Rodgers lost those two games Vs two playoff bound teams:

The San Francisco 49ers (8-4) and Cincinnati Bengals (8-4).

Merely edged another team 19-17 or the Baltimore Ravens (6-6) that's * still in contention for a playoff berth in the AFC.

You learn from the loss's and 'almost loss's' not the big wins.

Who did the Packers defeat with Aaron Rodgers?

Washington (3-9) OUT ! ; Minny (3-8-1) OUT ! ; Cleveland (4-8) OUT ! Those teams have a combined 10-25-1 record. Not exactly anything they would cheer about. Do Packer fans cheer defeating such teams? I certainly don't.

The Packers defeated the Detroit Lions 22-9 (7-5)* on 6 Oct. 2013 with Calvin Johnson out of the lineup.

The Lions are leading the NFCN today and the Packers (5-6-1) in 3rd place ahead of the Vikings.

I want more and certainly the potential for more.

What the Green Bay Packers did last week or last month / last year or two years ago or in the last two decades means diddly squat to me and what we can count on to do this week or next month/year in the NFL.

GO PACKERS !
