Re: Dreamin

that he is resigning?



Great minds think alike?

More like dumbasses think alike. Do you not realize that we are still in a rebuilding mode? This is all Sherman's fault, TT is doing a great job fixing the crap Sherman left behind.

Yeah, keep dreaming. I'll tell ya what, you live in your dream world and I'll stay in the real one. The facts speak for themselves. In 2 seasons, TT has accomplished starting 2 OL last season that SUCKED and now he's gonna start 2 rookies this season. There are other teams with the same talent level we have, yet they are not starting 2 rookie lineman.

It's obvious he has sacrificed this season and most likely the next one in the HOPES that his picks work out. Wake up- any run of the mill GM could go this route, but it's the good ones who make the right picks and sign the right FA's. That's HIS JOB and why he gets paid the big bucks.

WOW !! Packnut.

The TRUTH from someone.

A reality check.

Handle it ROY's.

I just think TT has done a lousy job. He underestimated the offensive line importance and thought he could just plug anyone in there. I really do think the facts back me up. There was nothing in MM's past that even remotely suggest that he's HC material. I hope and pray I'm wrong and I would like nothing more than a big plate of crow to eat, but if you look at the patterns that he has formed since taking over, they are disturbing to say the least.

Like replacing 2 starting guards? Great job!!!

Thompson did not wear a shirt with collar and obviously no tie.

He slurped crudely from the waterbottle in front of the microphone.

Ted seems very inarticulate and not to have any longterm goals.

It would be nice if he answered a direct question.

Lighten up, we're just kidding around...DUMB ASS

Your making me homesick for Tex.

This is how ridiculous it has gotten: Favre loses the football in the rain, and DD tipped a ball intended for Bubba that ended up being intercepted by the safety; two mistakes (neither of them "bad decisions") that lead to 10 points. 10 STINKING POINTS!!

Yet the idiot crowd is out there shouting about how turnovers caused this loss.

WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER 38 POINTS THE DEFENSE LET SLIP BY?

I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet, because the last time I watched the Bears, Lions or Vikes, none of their offenses looked powerful, smooth and practiced like the Bengals did last night. But I will get on these boards and SCREAM when observers blame a loss like this on turnovers.

And that includes the coaching staff. (Yeah, I'm talking to you, Jagodzinski. Why don't you tell us why the offense can't run the damn ball?)

He gets hand cramps all the time.

Maybe Thompson should run for governor of WI. Considering who the candidates are, I think he would have a legitimate shot.

Well, not 'more like' actually, but, yes, it's true - dumbasses also think alike. But so what? Actually, geniuses are more likely to think alike than dumbasses. And the rude tend to think alike also. Or at least they post alike.

Boy for a moment I thought they were talking about Martin needing Midol.

He sure seems to cramp up enough to drop the darn ball.

Well at some point Ted Thompson has to be held accountable.

1) For the coaching staff because he fired the old one including Jim Bates(900K this year) the packer bottom line is affected by paying multiple coaching staffs.
2) The departure of players without getting value. Wahle, Sharper, Roman, Thomas, Longwell were all starters that not only have not been adequately replaced but nothing was obtained in exchange. Several back up players as well.
3) The drafts. 2005 1st round player and one of the second rounders have no production while the 3rd round was traded away. The production of the other draft picks has yet to been demonstrated.
4) Few of the players acquired by Sherman remain. Over 50% of the players are Thompson acquired. Blaming the former GM is no longer valid. There is cap room.
5) Winning games. The 4 years proceeding Ted Thompson's arrival the Packers were a contender reaching the playoffs. Since his arrival they have only won 25% of their games. Changing the coaching staff this year has the team winning 33% of their games.

It is time for some light and heat to be applied to Ted Thompson in order to at least get him recognize he is responsible to win first and foremost. All other considerations are secondary.

The big problem I fear is the # of fans who just take for granted that he should have a few years to prove himself. They accept losing and being embarrassed like Monday night. For them it's natural to have "re-building years". I have seen enough to know that TT is a clown who does'nt have a clue. This guy lives in a fantasy world where O lineman are a dime a dozen.

I also agree that the Sherman excuse is over. This is TT's team and he's had ample time.

You just showed how much of a dumbass you are. Everyone is allowed to voice their own thoughts, and if you have a different view, there's no reason to resort to childish name calling.
