Classic McGinn--JS---"Packers should take Page out of Broncos Book"

[JohnMexico]

Well as the stock continues to plummet, why not take the whole damn book!

Settles Gm has built such a complete team. Best drafter in the league.

I'm having a difficult time getting enthused for Seattle. Too many drug violations coupled with the USC issues under Carrol make it hard for me to get behind them.

I can't say I'm a big fan of anybody there but Russell Wilson
But they have achieved greatness and you have to admire that and how they got there

[Cheesehead Craig]

So would that page involve getting blown out in the SB?

Meh....I like our approach better. The one where you win the superbowl and not the one where you get blown out.

McGinn really completed a trifecta of sorts - a collection of fantastically ill-timed and incredibly wrong predictions this year. Now he knows how I feel!

Next up this Sunday a blistering expose of why the Packers need to stop throwing so much and run the ball to help the defense play like Seattle's.

that would be silly..............to play defense like Seattles....we just need several new defensive players on that side of the ball.

Nah, they've only won a Super Bowl. There is a ways to go before they achieve greatness.
When they Packers won the Super Bowl three years ago, had they achieved greatness?

The Packers followed up their SB championship with a 15-1 record, but a Divisional round exit. I think Seattle who has young and cheap (rookie contract) players like Wilson, Sherman, etc. that give them a leg up on rest of NFL.

[Guiness]

In 2012 GB did exactly what Denver did for two positions, center and RB, only to be starter, not backups. The tried desperately to do that at DL bringing in Hargrove, Muir and Merling. It didn't work out so well at any of the three positions.

This year they did it at QB three times with Young, Wallace and Flynn. In effect, they did it at DL with Jolly. The tried to do it at TE with Mulligan.

Perhaps they should have done it at safety either or both years, but they did have a relatively high draft pick in MacMillian who just didn't pan out. Perhaps their biggest mistake was when they released him and didn't find someone better to replace him with.

yup, dice were rolled, some got snake eyes, some got boxcars. I get back to the fact that the Packers are in a damn good position year after year and honestly feel like anything beyond that is as much luck as anything else. If Saturday plays like an pro-bowler instead of just getting voted to it and Benson doesn't hurt his foot, how does last year turn out? I do have to hand it to Seattle though - with Harvin contributing nothing during the season, and Rice being a flop they put it all together regardless.

Thats called being a hater.

IT's what I dislike about Seattle as well. Hater? For Carrol, OK, guilty as charged for me. I can't stand the guy, but it doesn't mean that he isn't a good coach.
