Official Fire Dom Capers Thread

Fire Dom now!

Not sure what they've got to lose. I think the game - and many opposing quarterbacks - have passed him by. Or by him.

I've been off the Capers train since 579!

Pay attention to common sense.

I've been on the Fire Capers bandwagon since last year. There is talent on this defense. I don't think it's being coached up.

Is there though? Where exactly is this talent you speak of? Now maybe the complexity and nuance of the system don't fit the kind of players we keep drafting. And that's an entire separate issue, maddening in its own right.
But this defense is simply not talented. As a DC how do you implement an effective defense with a front 7 that doesn't get pressure, and DBS that rarely win individual matchups. Slow, timid, flat footed, soft players all over the field. Us Anti-Teds were right, and we've been saying it for years. This team has been competive and a contender almost exclusively because they have the greatest qb of all time who pulls miracles out of his ass and makes plays and throws no one else can.
I feel confident saying that if you removed every starting qb from every team and evaluated each roster, the Packers would be bottom 3 or 4 talent wise.

579 is about 4 games worth of Hundley.

Oh, anyone else catch this from Matthew Stafford last night? Matthew Stafford, “We had some success because we knew what blitz’s or which blitz’s would be coming, especially on third down. The screen that almost went for the touchdown, we went to the line with 3 plays. If they were doing a middle blitz, which they did, we ran the screen. If they ran a slot blitz, we were running a bubble, if they weren’t running any, we had another play in mind. When they blitz the middle, they’ll drop one of their safeties close to the line, typically Dix because in dime or Nickel Burnett is usually up already anyway, for middle protection. If they brought their slot guy, they would slide Martinez over to cover for his blitz. So when Dix slid down, and both Perry & Matthew slid into an inside gap, we knew exactly what blitz was coming. That happened on almost all our 3rd down plays tonight.”

That is one hell of an indictment of Capers. Maybe if they don't want to fire him now, Don de don don can come up with some sort of health issue that will sideline him for the year and then let him slide into retirement (and take TT with him). I'm not quite ready to give up on MM yet, but I might be there by the end of the season.

In a Capers defense, not the dish posted above, it all starts with the OLB.

What does Green Bay have there ?

I have supported Thompson, because I think he does a pretty good job...now when you're a draft only type of team you better strike it rich, and since we haven't, and he's lacked signing free agents, it gets us to where we are today.

I have long not been a fan of either McCarthy or Capers. Even the super bowl year I brought up numerous issues I had with each. You can go through the draft picks all the way back to JUSTIN HARRELL and place blame on Thompson, but the fact is that it isn't just Thompson who makes those picks, he works hand in hand with the coaches who also make evaluations on those picks. Any good team doesn't just have the GM pick whom ever he wants, he works with scouts and coaches. The thing is who has really developed? Daniels? Clark? Burnett? Dix has fallen off this year. Matthews is still OK, but obviously isn't who he once was, and age and injuries has a lot to do with that. Perry....I want to love him, but he kind of is who he is, last year was almost a fluke. Martinez is looking nice, Ryan should be one of those develop guys who hasn't. Rollins and Randall have disappointed. Jones has huge potential. I was a big fan of King, but am seeing flaws in him that need coaching...but I'm not sure if he's getting the coaching to improve. Lowry has improved, but his ceiling was rather low to start with. My hope is Adams and Biegel start to get some snaps and show signs of life, because we need it.

Capers has to go. Radio today they said if you believe it's the players, then it's on Thompson. If you believe it's the scheme, it's on Capers. I believe it's the scheme.

I do too. There is talent on this team but we are becoming too predictable on defense. I too am on the Fire Capers train.

We have to let Dom stay on for a while longer so we tank the rest of the season and get a high draft position for the first time since we drafted Raji and Clay.

What does Green Bay have there ?

A banged up - as always - Nick Perry.
An over the hill Clay Matthews. Clay can be effective but it is past time that he should be an every down pass rusher.
An ineffective Fackrell.
A FA in Brooks who could have helped us but has a bad back and has been out for weeks.

NO NO NO Way !

Your 'only' giving it some small chance that he will be retained in'THE PACKER FAMILY'.

It's just this ASAP:

Let's hope McCarthy gets on the Fire Capers train in January.

If we tank and have the worst defense in the league at the end of the season there is no way in hell Capers job is secure.

Nope !

This is the REAL and TOTAL Answer FIRE DOM and Mike McCarthy and Certainly FIRE Ted Thompson he has tried and tried and tried for too long now and simply failing Packer Nation.

It's time for a brand new set of Packer Brass.

Take the OLD and Tired and BULLSHIT and Burn it UP:
