Thompson Sucks!!!

[Deputy Nutz]

You two can kiss and make up over pm if you want.

[Tony Oday]

bahahaha you dont see this team winning consitant games? Shyt we won three in a row over playoff teams from last year. We are ahead in the division and our pass offense looks GREAT. This team reminds me of the early 90's when we used the pass to set up the run.

[bbbffl66]

God, I hate admitting I'm wrong. Maybe TT isn't as bad as I thought.

I am not an Orrin Thompson fan. Never have been.

[hoosier]

I thought you might like a little dinner...you can share if you'd like, there's lots to be served.

Mmmm good....What's the green stuff?

Other than his immediate family, does Orrin Thompson have fans?

Re: Thompson Sucks!!!

Packers sitting alone now at the top of the NFC North!!!

Sitting on top of the entire NFC. Alone....if the Cowboys lose.

I've read this theory several times, just curious: who were the running backs that made this work? Holmgren came in 93, If i recall.

well, they go the pass down, but the "set up the run" ain't happenin yet.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Holmgren came in 92. I think we had the likes of Reggie Cobb and Raymont Harris. Edgar came in 92, but played FB for 2-3 years. Levens started out as a FB also.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think Dorsey Levens was the first to bring them any real running success, and not until the superbowl year.

[Harlan Huckleby]

thanks for stats.

ya, pretty sucky, really.

Levens & Bennett finally clocked-in with good yards-per-carry in 96, I was looking at their stats a sec ago.

[pbmax]

So that would give you:

1992: Worman
1993: Thompson/Bennett
1994: Bennett/Cobb
1995: Bennett/Levens(barely)

One of those teams is a shell of its former self, the other two aren't yet hitting on all cylinders, and still the games against Philly and SD were close and could've gone either way. I'm impressed with how GB has played so far, and especially with how they've finished games. But I don't think we've seen them against a team that's playing really well. And I'll be even more surprised if they can carry over what they've done in the first three to the last thirteen. I like what they've shown so far, and I like TT's approach, but I don't think they're quite there yet.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Had SD won, it would have been said that SD is back. We beat them and Rivers had a near perfect day. I don't buy the bullshit about how SD is not "hitting on all cylinders".
