DAMMIT.....Is SAN FRAN our new DALLAS of the 90's ?????

[Bretsky]

They are making us our bitch and it's been frustrating

Back in the Holmgren Days.....we'd get to the playoffs every year...but they had our number

Making general comparisons.............


Dallas had an INCREDIBLE OL
Niners hav an INCREDIBLE OL...

Dallas would handle our DL; San Fran seems to more than handle or OL

Dallas had an incredible NFL Coach who was a bit arrogant
San Fran seems to have a very solid NFL coach tha is also arrogant

Both seemed to always have their teams ready to play.

Dallas DL always gave our OL troubles it seemed; Favre was often on the run
San Fran DL seems and LB's seem to dominate us; Rodgers, like Favre, needs to create



The comparisons only start here.............feel free to offer your own or your thoughts

I have a bad feeling going into every game against SF; same way I felt playing the Cowobys long ago


HAPPY COLD DAYS !!!

[Bretsky]

And since they have made us our bith........what do we need to do to stop the onslaught ????

I wonder if we need a defensive overhaul. At the least, we need to get stronger and faster......and faster and faster....bad sign when it seems the QB is faster than some of your LB's

[Tony Oday]

If Hyde makes that pick we win. This was a close game.

Last year 49ers dominated both games. This year, Packers actually had a 4th quarter lead in both games, so they made strides. The Packers defense just isn't good enough right now, although they played respectably yesterday. The 49ers have more playmakers on defense, and I think that's the difference. But let's face it, that game could easily have gone the either way. I don't think the situation is similar to the '90's Dallas situation. Last year it was, but not now.

For me, this is all on Thompson. Most of his first round selections have been very subpar, especially in the last 3-4 years. If he's not going to add anything through free agency, then he damn well better hit on more than half of his 1st round picks. The current strategy has not been effective in accumulating talent over the last 3 years. To me, Thompson also screwed up royally this past offseason by having such a damn hissy fit over the kicking position and neglecting to acquire a capable backup QB.

The Green Bay media needs to be far more critical of Thompson this offseason and put some pressure on him. I'm not saying he needs to go...he's a very good GM, and I think he'll respond well to the challenge. He's been subpar lately and he needs to step it up just as much as Raji or Finley or Burnett...that needs to be expressed. Teams like SF and SEA have made themselves better this past few offseasons with decent FA pickups like Boldin and very solid drafts. We have been spinning our wheels it seems. We are elite because of Rodgers...without him, our team is mostly crap.

Good post King. Not sure what kind of pressure TT actually gets from the directors, local media or the fans. I liked the Tramon comments earlier that were pointed in TTs direction.

[Joemailman]

I agree with much of what King said, although I think 2013 might be his best draft in a while. Lacy is his best pick since Matthews, and Bakhtiari might be another Sitton-type pick. I suspect the backup QB situation was probably as much the fault of McCarthy/Clements as it was Thompson.

Thompson is the GM, therefore the body of work is at his doorstep. 5 straight playoff appearances. Great record. Superbowl title. 15-1 season.

Also: Defense that bleeds yards even when mostly healthy.

But on OP topic, offense was healthier yesterday and was awful, especially QB. Defense outplayed them even though they allowed the late scores.

[KYPack]

I think Carolina will tear SF's asses up.

I think Carolina will tear SF's asses up.

I am of two minds about this. One, sure would love to see SF routed.

But who wants to see the vanquisher proven hollow? Plus I was convinced the Packers could beat Carolina on the road, for no particular reason other than it wasn't a Seattle level crowd.

[Cheesehead Craig]

I have been thinking the same thing Bretsky. I just want the Pack to get over the SF hump.

I hope Sf is our Dallas of the 90s.

We went to two Super Bowls in a row and won one.

If we have to look at ourselves and improve and kick their asses in a couple of years to go to two Super Bowls in a row, I say Bring It On!

Problem is.... Greenbay didn't play Dallas in the playoffs during the 96 and 97 Super Bowl runs. Carolina beat them in 96 and they missed the playoffs in 97.

It's a bit weird to see this thread B.

I was just reading this Article ... LINK below. It's an interesting read that covers what it was like to lose "eight straight games" to the Dallas Cowboys from 1991-96. Back then that record redefined domination for the Dallas Cowboys over the Green Bay Packers. The Dallas Cowboys were a huge obstacle against the Green Bay Packers achieving with a very decent team led by the likes of Brett Favre and Reggie White as they came on board.

This isn't meant to rub any salt in any Packer fan wounds. It's a difficult time now after seeing our Packers lose the fourth straight game to the San Francisco 49ers. Those 90's Packers lost twice as many straight. I have informed Packerrats how last Sundays 23-20 loss to the 49ers has affected me. I hate that the Green Bay Packers didn't handle their arch rivals in conditions that should have certainly allowed the team to do so. I watched the Packers blow time after time opportunity's to get more points on the score board to seal a victory and over and over ...and over again that didn't happen. I was shocked to witness that defeat of our team.

That the Packers failed to win left me simply so frustrated I cannot properly express the exact disappointment I felt. I really don't know when I felt so defeated as a Packer fan. Maybe it's my age and what I see as a narrowing opportunity with a terrific leader at the QB position. I see and don't simply sense the waste of Aaron Rodgers. I know that the Green Bay Packers need something more to ever compete with teams like the San Fran 49ers. I take this fact seriously.

This article gets up close and personal and will take you back to the 1990's and what that Era of Green Bay Packers had to overcome. By far the majority of you experienced the total frustration of all those consecutive defeats for the team we love. The Big Bad Dallas Cowboys as Bretsky so accurately informs us. Owned the Green Bay Packers back then.

Have a look Packerrats:

All of that frustration is back on our laps in the form of the San Francisco 49ers.

That team does own the current edition of the Green Bay Packers. We couldn't find enough ways not to win last Sunday.

So it's now four straight loss's and will it be counting? It certainly will Packerrats unless something huge happens.

Everyone of you get this message.

How long before all of you become enlightened and to fully realize and demand change? Without such change your Green Bay Packers will not win another Super Bowl.

Is that too severe for 'YOU'?

If that's the case. I simply ask that you take a real strong look at the current Green Bay Packers. Ask yourself what's wrong? I request that you all be simply honest with yourselves. Ask yourself what has to be done with that wrong to get back on course? Back to having even a reasonable opportunity of winning a Super Bowl.

Again... I challenge you as Packer fans to be totally honest with yourselves.

Going 1-3 in the playoffs since our 2010 Super Bowl Victory isn't cutting it. Isn't even close to cutting it. That record with Aaron Rodgers as the Green bay Packer QB and him being arguably the finest player at any position in the NFL and he's the Packer QB !!

The Packers 1-3 playoff record since winning a Super Bowl in the 2010 Season is far worse than unimpressive ... it's terrible.

The 2011 and 2012 season and now this 2013 season playoff loss !? Managing to win 'only' one playoff game in three Seasons !? Is that acceptable? Does that record predict a bright 2014 Season?

This article ( LINK Below ) is a flashback to a time one and a half to over two decades ago. It's about what was in the minds of Green Bay Packers back then when it was time to face a team that continually defeated them. It's about the positive mindset of a current Packer team before this latest loss to the San Fran 49ers just two days ago. The taste of that defeat so bitter inside of me.

It's an article that stimulates an obvious question (s). What went wrong on Sunday? What may the Green Bay Packers Organization do to overcome this San Francisco 49ers team? To create a team situation that can handle a west coast team that's simply a real thorn in the sides of a collective Green Bay Packers Nation?
