Roster rehab, creative coaching lead to Packers' turnaround

[Scott Campbell]

I hope my golden years aren't spent in the fog of bewilderment - like Woody's.

[Scott Campbell]

I just got tired of making a fool out of you.

We certainly don't want to go there again Scott?

I don't think so, Eh?

Woody has that Canadian Mounty bluster, but he was hurt very badly.

Yeah, you really got the best of me last time.

CVCan't you simply admit that Ted Thompson blew on that weak attempt to acquire Randy Moss.

It's baqck to that Poker game analogy mj.

Sometimes a decent poker player has to go all in when the value is in the hand and the pot will reward.

Ted Thompson wasn't in the game on that hand mj. A goo0d GM can,t be3 that and half heartedly go about his business.

Define "all in." If you wanna convince me TT made a mistake, you're gonna have to convince me of what mistake he made, not make poker analogies. I don't want "shoulda got him," You think he made a mistake, I want you to tell me EXACTLY what he did wrong. So define it for me.

Two teams were actively bidding on Moss, two, the Pats, and the Pack. I guess along with the Packers there were 30 other teams out their that had GMs that blew it with Randy Moss. Even considering bringing Randy Moss in to Green Bay was a huge step, Randy Moss isn't the most liked player that has ever graced Lambeau Field, and image the media outcry if Randy Moss proved to be a jack off in Green Bay? Thompson would have been hanged in effigy.

But you don't want to see that side, do you Woody? You simply want to be an attention whore by keeping up the same argument over and over again. Like I said if you're so much of a fucking idiot that you can't see past Randy fucking Moss, then you better question what kind of fucking Packer fan you are.

Nutz, you sure like the F word, don't you?

[Deputy Nutz]

Nutz, you sure like the F word, don't you?

I only used it three times, and I never use it in articles.

[Tarlam!]

I never understand why Nutz holds back with his opinions. For such a knowledgeable fan, I can't but help feeling he sits on the fence far too often.

Great post, Nutz!

[packrat]

TT does get ALL the credit. Sure, MM has done a great job, but if it was up to me we'd have taken Bates and other posters might even have taken Childress. Sure Jennings and Jones have done a great job, and Grant has contributed, but without TT who would we have? Green and Walker, like other posters pounded the table for? The buck stops on TT's desk--screw up and he gets the blame. 14-2 and he gets the credit. A team is the sum of its players and coaches and only one person decides who they are, so only one person gets the credit for the sum of the parts.

Scott. Got any friends? By the way Merry Christmas Scott.

You must have caught me on a really bad day earlier this week, as I don't allow chumps like you to ever get to me. You are one regular bite in the arse AO though sonny.

I'd loved to have come across you in the old neighborhood. I re-call what we did to straighten people like you out before they got to what you have become Scott.

SADLY - a mess.

NO SCOTT YOU GOT THE BEST of YOUR DELUDED SELF.

YOU exposed just what YOU are to Harlan and I.

The rest of the Forum was kept away fr. the facts through OUR pity for YOU Scott; our compassion and grace spared you any reputation of decency you may need to preserve here. NOT deserve to maintain.

As a matter of fact you allowed your click here to believe that Harlan was the bad guy and that realy burned me. Harlan stayed strong through all of that bullshit and you go away with your crap ways Scott free. Pardon the pun.

I'm so sick of you Scott. This won't be done behind the scenes anymore if you call it. It will be right out in the open. YOU CAN't HANDLE THAT Scott.

YOUR absolutely corrupt. NO GOOD !! SCOTT CAMPBELL. WEAK.

So piss off sonny or I'll take it right at YOU.Right in full view of all here to see. The thread count for this one will really grow if you want it to Scott.

TRUST just this .YOU won't like it Scott. NOT IN YOUR PSYCHE. You'll explode all over yourself. You always have once your backed into a corner.

It's entirely YOUR call - your poison Scott. I'm really tired of your crap. I place YOU in the worst category of all people Scott Campbell.

So bring it on small man if you desire to play the fool again. I've had it with your stupidity.

Hey Nutz.

Don't lay your heavy handed weak ass BS on me. Who in hell do you think you are? Were you into the sauce when you made that post. Your certainly not goin to challenge me successfully Nutz with your onipotence that is tired.

I'll take my position with OUR GM just as I see it Nutz.

You are over the top too prejudiced on the likes of Randy Moss and Terrell Owens to possible question whether or not your a bigot and a Redneck? Don't ever imagine that your tactics and I have to take stock of my Packer fanism will ever shake with me.

I'm as solid a Packer fan as you are mister, and just as qualified to use whatever I see as proof that Ted Thompson isn't the best slice of cheese so far in his tenure as our GM.

Maybe we should take a really close lookat all those terrific draft picks.ealy examine him for what is deemed noteable about his skills as a GM.

What a joke that will make of the delusion Ted Thompson and Master of the Draft that exists and deludes so many on this forum except those of us that have no fear to express the facts.

Nutz.You have never intimadated me Man. Get that and straighten up.

PACKERS FOREVER!

Tarlam! and Nutz and Scott Campbell. Almost the three Amigo's ??
No. Not nearly as much fun, and only half a scary.

So. . what's that I see? Ohhh Noooo ! NOT the Packerrat mafia now ? Heaven's sake I'd better duck, Haha.

I'm trembling in my boots.

Ok, forget those 3 for a minute. You still haven't answered my question. If you want me to buy your schtick you're going to have to answer it and questioning my intelligence if I don't see what you do on its face is not gonna cut it this time. Answer it and be specific. What exactly should TT have done to be more aggressive. No analogies, no generalizations, no telling me "he should have gotten it done." Rumor has it he went to bed thinking he had a deal in place so what should he have done before shutting off that light?

Easy one mj. This isn't at all even brialliant. Just simple common sense.

Secure the DAM deal not assume he had it done and hit the sack. I feel like Im repeating myself.

Ted Thompson makes and offer and it's simply a matter of informing the man in Oakland (wasn't it Al Davis mj?) to get back to him with all effort if any other team better's his (TT's offer).

Getting it mj??

Straight talk - straight action should follow that.

No Ted Thompson just decides to asume that he had a deal done for Randy Moss. He must have wanted him or he wouldn't have benin the market place for him.

NOT GOOD MANAGING by any means mj.

A clear screw-up.

It's not evenn debateable or is it mj?

Still having a problem here mj.Maybe it's time you slam me for being a Canadian or not really a Packer fan.

Jeeeee who's in second place in the Pickem this season (Ohhh Hank Bosch or woodbuck27) and the incumbant Champion. How can that be explained?

Let's see.

woodbuck27 - a Canadian (mmmmm pretty bright people generally) and woodbuck27 knowing the NFL and a Packer fan for at least 49 year's.

Ahhh . . .

There's the answer. It's called experience as a dedicated fan and backing myself up when I have to. I'm a fan with a sight for the facts. imagine that.

I seldom fail to back myself up mj.

Woody, it's pretty much you against yourself. I don't think you really need to worry about anybody else.
