Yup, and then he'll draft rookies like Kenny Clark and Shaq Lawson to take their place. It's how TT rolls.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.

Would your heart be in it on the Lions? He will sign a $6 mil one year contract.Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.Comment

Really think we are going to re-sign Sitton after next season? I don't... :/Originally posted by Cheesehead Craig View PostComment

He's not yet 30, but will be this summer. I think he will get one more contract from the packers, unless they find a couple young Sitton-like players during next season.Originally posted by smuggler View PostComment

I would like to see all of the front seven FA's back... the front seven actually played pretty well - in spite of dunderdummy.
If we take another step backward on defense - we won't be able to compete again for another year.
And that is the poison pill of TT's philosophy - it is unlikely that he will ever bring it all together in a given year. As he restricts himself to one avenue of player procurement, it becomes a whack-a-mole situation. When does it all come together, unless he fills holes enough to get us over the top??
We had our best chance last year - and MM blew it; but this year TT and MM blew it together; now, that slightly open window is going to close, and it is right back to the drawing board.
As I said a decade ago, TT's philosophy, if strictly adhered to, will land up perpetually at 10-6, a playoff team that can't cash the check. Sans '10 (the fart in the wind), that has been the case.wistComment

2010 - SB Win.
2011 - Preseason favorite to win, 15-1 record, but deficiencies exposed.
2012 - Win Division, 1-1 in playoffs.
2013 - AR injured, out 8 games; backup QB injured, out 7 games; team still win division.
2014 - Injury to AR, but made it to within a few minutes game time of being in the SB.
2015 - A preseason SB favorite, offense fails due to injury and poor play, lose division for first time in forever, 1-1 in playoffs.
So, in the past 6 seasons, they won one SB, were within a Bostick second of a return to the SB, and were a preseason favorite to get there in two other seasons. In four of six seasons they won SB, were almost there, or picked preseason to be there; and made playoffs in the other two seasons while winning their Division.
I guess I never realized just how awful TT is at assembling a team.Comment

Unfortunately, professional sports is an industry in which success is described as winning a championship, in football, that's winning the Super Bowl. This isn't my crazy notion, it's what each team freely admits and sells to its fans. So you can't blame the fans for holding teams to the standard the owners and players set.
Obviously, the odds are against any one team winning the Super Bowl year after year. Obviously, some fans, if not most fans, enjoy the game and their home teams for what they are and for their hard fought attempts to win every year.
But that doesn't make illegitimate some fans' complaints that their team seldom wins the big enchilada.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.

Sure, but a little perspective couldn't hurt, especially when you are one of the best franchises in football. And even the very best come up short more often than not. Wist is just a doom and gloom negative conspiratorial guy. It's what he does.Originally posted by Maxie the Taxi View Post"Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand.

Yeah, I know that...but Wist is Wist so I don't try to change his mind.Originally posted by mraynrand View Post
I'm one of those who wants the Pack to play in the Super Bowl every year, though I realize it's not practical. When they fail, I get surly and analytical about what went wrong, even though reason tells me luck plays a part. On the other hand, Stubby's game management in the playoff game last year and his failure to go for two this year are not luck IMO. So I want that fixed for next year. And that's open to discussion. But that's just me...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."

I think its time you unveil the next generation moniker for Capers. We loved spraypaint hair for a season or two, we've endured dunderdummy for ages yet somehow it still feels contrived, what's next already?Originally posted by wist43 View Post70% of the Earth is covered by water.
