Teddy has blown a golden chance that does'nt come along all that often and he need's to be held accountable.
    Travis Henry is not Packer people. He has 9 kids with 9 women he is not married to. I'm glad he's not a Packer. Eric Johnson is being held together bye duct tape and won't make it through the season. Graham hasn't ever done squat in the NFL.

      And that's what I hate about media-generated hype and pre-season projections. They act like if it wasn't a 1st round pick or a FA signing, then nothing happened.

      I've heard several pundits say "we have given Favre no weapons."

      On the contrary, we gave him Murphy (unfortunate, but it WAS an attempt at getting him a weapon), we gave him Jennings (who they do begrudgingly mention, depending on the analyst you're listening to), and now we gave him Jones and Brandon Jackson.

      Oh yeah, and 2 starting linemen and some very promising depth.

      But yeah, none of that stuff was in the 1st round, or overpaid for from some other team - so it won't matter

            They are 13 million under the cap right now.

            What happens if they want to extend Corey Williams or upgrade a player's contract that earns it? They have no flexibility then. They could potentially have Aaron Kampman and if he keeps playing how he has been Cullen Jenkins holding out because they're underpaid.

            What does TT do then? Let them walk?!?!

            1. What happened to Morency running for 1,500 yards? That ought to make us 16-0? right?
            2. What happened to you "rubbing" Justin Harrell's (the player) success in my face during Week 3? That ought to make us better than 9-7.
            3. They're $15mil under the cap after cutting Ferguson.

                ok, Morency got hurt. If Green was here, and his oft-injured knees acted up, we'd be in pretty much the same boat.

                I don't like the idea of counting on rookies. I don't think Jackson should have been counted on to even be a #2 this year. TT should have gotten another free agent. But, when you have 3 injuries at one position, particularly a specialty like RB, any GM is going to be caught with his pants down.

                There, I'm safely on both sides of the issue now.

                      Morency and Jackson will combine for that. Easily. That won't make us 16 and 0.

                      Looks like I was wrong on the Harrell thing. We'll know in time.

                      OK, so 2 million left over for future use.

                      4 is just plain retarded.

                        The best thing about Thompson is that he has the team getting consistantly better and their is no financial wall that we are nearing. We are getting better only to get better only to find ourselves in position to get better. That's acctually hard to do but is exactly what I have expected Thompson to do all along.

                        If anyone has anything to rub in over the next few months, it's us who have supported Thompson and saw the big picutre who should be rubbing the panic crowd's nose in their idiocy.

                          Any team with their top 2 running backs out is going to look to be in a bad position. Hell, if the Bears lost their top 2 running backs, they'd be down to a midget trying to run between defenders legs to gain some yardage.

                            TT is doing a lot of things well (draft, re-signing players, etc), but I can agree that he needs to be some what more aggressive in free agency. This team really isn't as bad as some people here think and if we had a little more on offense we would have a good chance this year.

                            I understand the argument of having a lot of free agents in 2008/2009 and needing the money to re-sign those players, but by then Favre, Harris, Woodson, Tauscher, and Clifton will be done or almost done. Why not take a chance now while we don't have lots of free agents? This is my main problem with TT.
                            TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

                              We're a boarderline six seed. If a lot of things go right, we might have a chance at getting back into the playoffs in a weak conference.

                              We're a long way away. I think by the end of the year we'll be as good as some of the playoff teams. We're not even close, now.

                              As for the criticism of TT from the national media being correct but the TT "bashers" on here being wrong, I think you're all unjustified in your shinanigans.

                              If we had Green and Grant back and went into the season with only the whole at TE, I still don't think we would be anywhere near a superbowl. Maybe I would consider us a lock to go 9-7 instead of likely to go 9-7.

                              Who is Grant; maybe I'm developing amnesia in my old age ?
