    Fire McGinn!
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

      Yeah, when you are relying on deep psychological analysis of someone you barely know to support your point, you have officially gone off the deep end.

      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

          OK, now he has me hooked. 7 players to jettison, 2 starters.

          On offense it could be Jones or Rodgers. But I am not sure even Bob is advocating cutting your TE off to spite your offense. So Jones on offense.

          Masthay on ST? Might deserve it, and punters are the one commodity you can usually find in a day laborer line.

          On defense it could be Guion (what was that contract?) since Pennell is taking his snaps, Palmer or Mulumba at LB and I am guessing Hayward at CB.

          So I have six, but 3 starters. Anyone else?

          Backups could be anyone on PS, hardly a challenge. Backups on roster: Backman, Tolzien (? maybe he looked funny at Michael Cohen), Goodson (goldbrick with illness), Gunter (be inactive on the unemployment line), Kuhn (age discrimination my ass), Janis (? counter-intuitive Bob pick-if Packers don't trust him, why keep his around?).

            Fire some players. You think you are hurt Cobb? Watch me cut James Jones. That'll heal you right up.



            Funny. Bob was singing hosannas about Nowak prior to Week 1.
            Yay! More sensationalist, scare-tactics journalism! I'm already reading more articles!

              Is McGinn feeling the heat from the merger?

              Firing as a performance motivational factor?

                  Have the Patriots and Seahawks won that many more Super Bowls than the Packers the last 10 years?

                          Questionable character - Guion for sure. I think he also advocated releasing Quarless immediately, didn't he?
                          Injury history - Abbrederis has to be at the top of that list. Shields could be there too. Neal, Perry, Bulaga. Lots of candidates here.
                          Age - Kuhn, they have a replacement available anyway
                          Performance - any non starter. Guion, Masthay, Palmer, R Rodgers, Adams. The first two might be released, the others merely demoted.

                          Releasing James Jones would be just the opposite of what you want to encourage. This is a guy who is always available, even when injured, and never complains. It's not his fault he is thrust into more of a role than he is suited for.

                            Well, I think that reflects his season in general. His current completion percentage of 60.5 is the lowest of his career as a starter, and is 23rd in the NFL.

                              I agree the messages will be mixed for a lot of these. Is any player going to not go to the tub if they cut Abby? He's missed so much time some of his teammates don't know who he is yet.

                              Jones would be production drop-off. But that could cost everyone but Tretter and Lang their jobs on the O line.

                              Bob is just an idiot. Seahawks' Nowak wasn't released as part of some get tough, shape up or ship out effort. They blew their O line position to smithereens last offseason and they are still rebuilding it.

                                Only the Giants and Steelers have done it twice in the last 10 years. And the Steelers had 2 different HCs. Tom Coughlin sits alone as the winningest HC of the last decade.

                                All hail Grandpa Coughlin!
