Thompson Sucks!!!

[PackerBlues]

Of coarse I am referring to Orrin Thompson, the guy brought up from the practice squad.



3-0, Let me know when I will be allowed to take my foot out of my mouth. Thompson has built a winning team to be excited about. Packers sitting alone now at the top of the NFC North!!!

Bah take it out and just believe

I thought you might be up to something like that Blues!

By the way...here's a new idea for your avatar...



Photoshop a football G on that chest and you're in business!

Come on, I think it is natural to question the GM of any sports team that you are a fan of. Sure, we look at Randy Moss right now and wish we had him in Green and Gold, but there are so many things to consider with what Randy is doing now and what he could be doing in Green Bay, the Packers are not the Pats.

I think we all wanted a sure thing at running back, and many mentioned Ahman Green and resigning him, but he just went down with another knee injury. I don' know how serious, but a cheetah cant change its stripes.

The bottom line is whether or not we agree with things like play calling, or front office moves, we certainly aren't smart enough to call a football game or make personel decisions for a major professional sports franchise.

But I understand the frustration.

Hey, I like it swede. I don't think I have the blues anymore after that win. May be time for a different avatar.

Well said!

Also, I think that Orrin Thompson has some potential. He's got good size and adequate athleticism, but he needs polish. LTs are valuable enough that I could see a team in need of one poaching a guy like Thompson.

[FritzDontBlitz]

sign me up for the "ted thompson is a friggin genius!" bandwagon.

every move he made in the offseason seems to be paying off.

i was one of those who bitched and moaned cuz we lost ahman and didnt pursue randy moss.

boy, am i glad i was wrong.

I'm all for not holding PB and other's crazy anti-TT rants against them, but isn't it a bit early to flip-flop on this issue? What if we lose our next 4 games because we can only manage 40 yards rushing a game? Are you willing to simply flop back over?

The Pack is averaging 57 yards per game on the ground. Doesn't that still worry you TT detractors who've gone silent? I would argue that now is not the time for reconciliation, but rather for a time of great hand wringing and finger pointing. I myself point the finger at our manic depressant coach, but I could see where some could argue the GM is at fault... now that we have some real game statistics to work with.

I am not exactly going back on everything I have said. Hell, our run game does in fact appear to suck....... yet the Pack is still 3-0.

Moss does not appear to be a washed up, over priced, malcontent, so I guess I was not wrong about wanting him on our team......not that we seem to need him.


I am simply saying that Thompson has done a great job rebuilding this Packers team. Thats my flip flop, cause I thought for sure that we would have to wait another year or two to see any promising results. I was wrong.

Totally agree. I didn't think GB was ready to beat a team like SD this early in the season, I thought it would take them another year to reach that point. So that's a pleasant surprise. But I still don't see them being a consistent winner this year, especially into December and January, if they have absolutely no running game. Imagine how people would be responding to that disastrous adventure at !st and goal from the SD 1 if they had wound up losing the game--people would be calling for McCarthy's head. So surprising good? Yes. Ready to go deep into the playoffs? Not quite.
