Where do we go from here?

I think the WR corps will be ok. Funny how Abby/Janis managed to get open downfield all game long when that seemed an impossibility for half the season with the other guys. Montgomery I think will be very good for us next year - losing him is what I think started the slide. Adams caught a million balls in college - they need to figure out what's wrong with him now and fix it.

OJ HOWARD for TE!!!!!

Our D Backfield is loaded with talent IMHO.

Fat Eddie is on a contract year next season, right? He'll be ready - lol.

We need OL and LB improvements, DL always need depth there.

Re-tool that offense by looking at how teams this year shut us down. I think they're smart enough to get that done.

Red, what you saw last night in my opinion was the QB slinging it a bit early. I think a lot of the blame for this season can fall on Rodgers A) not throwing it when there isn't massive separation and B) not being as accurate/confident as in years past.

If you listen to some of the reporters around the team, namely Mike Clements from WSSP, he says that if you watch the coaches tape where you see a birds eye view vs the side view, there are many cases where people are open enough and Aaron simply wouldn't throw the ball.

This was a weird year. I expect there to be some changes in the coaching staff. I think we will see Rodgers/MM continue to operate very closely next year as they did at the end of this year, and we will see more direct coaching of both the WR and QB. I expect to see some shuffling of the offensive coaching staff to have clear roles for QB coach and WR coach.

When you consider the mess that our receiving corps was last night it was remarkable what Aaron and company did against that team. Our D chose the worst possible moment to break down in OT.

last night our offense looked just as inept as it has all season

and all season until last night, we had our #1b (cobb), #3 (adams), and our #4 (jones) all healthy

we lost our 1a, which was a big loss, and monty which was around our #4 or #5

last night when we lost cobb and didn't have adams is not when our passing game started going down hill

The biggest problem is the coaching staff and office people think like a lot of the people on this board. That this was a good season, They will use injuries for an excuse as they always do.

I'm happy that the Packers don't think like you. Then we'd look more like Cleveland with changing leadership every year.

myself and other on here have been saying that exact thing for many weeks now

a-rod lost his accuracy somehow, and because of that and/or his ultra conservativeness with the ball, he was unwilling to throw to anyone who was even slightly covered

I disagree. Did you see no difference between last night and three weeks ago? If you didn't, you must have been drinking more than imaginable.

I seriously doubt Adams and JJ were 100% healthy for most the season this year. Earlier in the year Cobb was beat up too. Kudos to Abby and Janis for stepping up last night.

[Rutnstrut]

While we are talking about players we hope they do/don't bring back. I hope Peppers is one that they don't, he makes a play once in a while that's it. I would rather see a young all out effort guy.

instead we look like the rams clinging to jeff fisher because he once took a team to the super bowl

or like bucs fans who are pissed after two horrible seasons that the team fired lovie because he's such a good coach since he went to the SB once

I've never heard a coach on this staff use injuries as an excuse. It is mostly fans who do that. Personally I thought the coaches did a nice job getting this rag tag bunch ready to play they way they did in regulation. Too bad a missed assignment in OT did us in.

sorry but our offense was shit last night until the 2 hail mary's to end regulation

our defense looked a whole hell of a lot better then they did 3 weeks ago, until OT

and the o-line did do better. but they just gave a-rod more time to NOT make plays until the very end

We look like the Rams and Bucs? Neither of those teams are gonna sniff a SB in the near future.

I thought you said our passing game improved after Cobb went down? You hate McCarthy and are pissed because we lost. Did you really think we had a prayer in hell to win that game before it started?

i'm book marking this post. if either of those teams win the super bowl the year following the firing of their HC, you'll be the first one i remind

I would sure like to see a QB coach AND a WR coach next season instead of the combo act they pulled with Van Pelt this year, which was ridiculous. Made no sense.
