Over/Under On The Thompson Bashers

[RashanGary]

Yeah, shadow, WTF

[woodbuck27]

If we go 19-0, but the running game doesn't start producing better there are still one or two around here that will say that he's failed because we can't run the ball and you can't win without a running game.

Yup and your just the smartest Packer fan that has ever shit in a bucket mj.

How high is that horse mj. . .

and by the way we cannot go on as we have without a running game. Our defense will wear down mj.

We are 4-0 because we got really fortunate Vs the Eagles and since been in two words:

Brett Favre

Favre is playing the best of his career right now. He looks amazing during the last three games.

Re: Over/Under On The Thompson Bashers

This is hilarious. The Packers are 4-0 due to Brett Favre. Anyone with half a brain knows this. You have been one of his biggest critics. You've been ripping Favre for how long now? Man, some people have no shame......

Bull shit. They were 4-12 with Brett Favre two years ago. This team improved around Brett Favre and Brett Favre improved with Ted Thompson's coaching hire.

Is that your best impression of a bag of wind JH. . .

If so then . . . really good job.

This team would have improved a lot more with a running game.

Try harder to understand the basics of football then come back to us.

The season is 16 games long before any playoff and that means that the defense cannot get too much time on the field.

Check out the battle of the clock JH. Why is that even a factor JH. . .

Of course you know why, so why pretend that we do not need a running game.

Please . . . for your self esteem JH.

Re: Over/Under On The Thompson Bashers

Ok, we are 4-0; no team in the entire NFL has a better record after 1/4 of the regular season.
One of the chronic TT bashers seems to have softened in the face of the significant improvement in the team, but at least 2 others have adamantly, petulantly dug in their heels and refused to face the painfully obvious.
One gets the feeling that they are now down in the bunker, just waiting for a Packer loss to jump back in to once again spew more blasts of their ridiculous vitriol. Their claims : "Thompson is trying to wreck the Packers" (to lose his own job?), "Thompson hates Favre so much he is wrecking the Packers" (to lose his own job?) "Thompson is trying to wreck the entire universe" have been a source of amusement to many of us for a long time, and, in all fairness, might wind up being actually missed for their comedic value if & when the misguided return to reality.
Now then : just how many wins will it take for them to extend even the tiniest bit of credit to Ted Thompson for the job he's done?
5?
6?
8?
12?
16-0??????????

Now YOU.

Seems to me that your resembling the Village Idiot that shits on the parade.

WTF.

TIME OF POSSESSION 30:58 for us, and if we run the ball we would try very hard to extend that.

Of course you know why, so why pretend that we do not need a running game.

Just a couple things I'd like to clarify, Buck:
1. I've never shit in a bucket--eeewww,
2. I much prefer smaller horses (or at least skinny ones), and
3. that was a joke.

Pot calling kettle.

BTW, 4-0 without your boy Moss. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

[SkinBasket]

I agree. Packers are winning. Be happy. Save your ire for the Bears, not fellow Packer fans.

Not to fuel the fire, because I agree, but that same sentiment fell on completely deaf ears for months this offseason when so many were certain the shoe would be on the other foot by now.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Some of the same people who were savagely abusing Thompson before the season started are now calling for everyone to be happy because we are winning.

[Scott Campbell]

OK. ENOUGH ALREADY. I CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE. I'LL ADMIT IT.

I was wrong about Thompson. Very, very wrong. So wrong, that I shall not make another prediction about his success or lack thereof for at least one entire week.

I especially apologize to Shadow and JH, who I know acknowledge as having the finest football minds on this board. I'd wash and wax their cars if only I lived a little closer.

Humbly, and with a deep sense of shame,

Scott Campbell

It bothers me when users state opinions as facts.

Include an "I think" or an "In my opinion", etc.

Unfortunately, any criticism of Thompson for posters like you is taken to the extreme. It turns into an all or nothing concept. Also, where were your kind comments about Thompson when we were 4-12? What about 4-8, 5-8? I just love it when people take hindsight and then act like they were full supporters all along. Just because I disagree with his moves doesn't mean that I don't give him some credit. I don't that credit to the extreme like a lot of people are because it isn't warranted. Thompson has done some things right, but he has done many more wrong. He is no Ron Wolf when it comes to judging talent or team needs. Right now you have a QB who is on fire and thankfully he is because our "top 10" defense looks like a bottom 5 one right now. A lot of things have gone right for us to be 4-0. Most of which has had nothing to do with Thompson. Right now, Favre is the one carrying the team. Our tight ends are catching the ball which is a huge improvement over the past two seasons. Somehow, I don't credit our tight ends or Farve's performance on Thompson. Even if we do go 19-0, the only credit Thompson will get from me is that he hired McCarthy. It may be the biggest addition in the Thompson era to the Packers. So far we have gotten a few gems out of the draft. Every GM has those so it isn't that Thompson is a genius in that department. It's the BIG draft picks where he falls miserably short. You know the draft slots where you take a guy who can make an immediate impact? Yeah those ones, he has fallen way short.

[Scott Campbell]

I get it. So now they're winning despite Thompson.

Is it too late to retract my apology?

[Merlin]

In certain terms, yes. But then again, if you bother to read my post instead of taking some whacked out interpretation of it, you will see credit was given for hiring McCarthy. Thompson has failed in judging the draft choices that would make an immediate impact on the team. He has also failed in his judgment of FA talent with few exceptions.

Once again, try reading and digesting an entire post before you make irrational judgments about it.
