Over/Under On The Thompson Bashers

[MJZiggy]

Some of the folks on the other side of the debate can be very in-your-face at times

wait ... which side is that? is the other side like the opposite sex?

No, the opposite sex is much cuter.

[woodbuck27]

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.

Pot calling kettle.

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

First of all we are people of various backgrounds that love the Packers.

We should not be taking any different views to the extreme of judging or pidgeon holeing. WE are just all Packer fans and Rastak.

Just for you to ponder.

Maybe you could examine this silly feud a tad closer before you jump on either band wagon cpk1994.

Just maybe. It is best to remain a neutral and not pick sides or gang on. It will all come out in the wash despite some ruffled feathers at hthe present time.

I will to go out on the edge and imform all on this board, that the people like myself who are afflicted with the accusations of being the hateful are actually quite the opposite.

We want a win - win for all Packer fans.

We (the so called and labeled TT haters. . .Haha) are the fact based, truthfully accountable objective posters that only want the Packers to move towords winning and real growth.

For our Packer team GM Ted Thompson to do something more not less.

I see it in terms of the big picture and major goal of winning as Brett Favre does. The duty of the Packer GM is to do all he can to ensure a status of consistency in winning as well as maintain financial restraint for our teams future.

Not all one way or the other.

The chief reason that some here have stood against Ted Thompson is that we feel he should take advantage of the fact we still have Brett Favre. Have encouraged more talent (experience) in our offence and specifically at the position of obvious concern, Runningback.

I would be the last person to rub it in a mans face. I will not argue.

I felt our running game would be weaker and that is the way it appears to be. Ted Thompson went with the status quo after encouraging Ahman Green to change loyalities. I felt that he ran too high of a risk to make that assessment.

We have the worst running game in the NFL. Why is that now. . .

Some of us could see that from a long way off but Ted Thompson did not or is it something else in Ted Thompson . . .

That is the root of the debate.

Fact based? PULEEEEEZE. Anyway, I merely stated the fact that it is hypocritcal of you to call someone a villiage idiot for raining on the parade of others when you have been doing the exact same thing. Also, the fact that you have an obsession with Moss and can't get over it. You continue to take shots at TT for not signing Moss in every thread you post it in, even when the topic isn't about either. It is getting old, boring, repetitve and stupid. You hate TT and are mad the Pack didn't sign Moss. We get it. NOW GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and once again, 4-0 with out your boy Moss.

OK so here it lies and it seems that you want to take this to the personal in the full view of the forum.

Is that correct Packer fan. . .

and by the way. . .

Just exactly where in this thread do I make any reference to TT not landing Randy Moss (question mark). I believe that the conversation in this thread has been confined to the fact our running game really is nowhere cpk1994. Not landing Moss only supports an argument that TT cannot exercise assertiveness or conviction in acquiring really potential talent on the offensive side of the ball.

Just what does last place in the NFL in rushing suggest to you Packer fan. . .

That TT was correct or incorrect about not going after any other RB because it was his assessment that what he had was adequate.

You tell me please where I am wrong here.

WTF.

This is a time when all here should be celebrating our good fortunes, not attempting to sabotage any poster that believes different from another based in the past good or bad decisions of the Packer GM.

Calling out another member here over an issue of management positions or style (in our past) when we are on top of the NFLN, and tied with NE and Indy at 4-0 . . . . Excuse me.

That is wrong at this time to call out anyone that deserves a different view than any other here. That is over the top accusation or persecution that borders on the ridiculous.

If there are any members of this board that believe that members here have no right of disappointment over Ted Thompson and his ways then you are mistaken.

I have every right to hope for change in Ted Thompson while retaining disappintment after disappointment as a result of my teams GM. it is common sense that we have ZILCH in our offensive backfield at RB.

Persecution????
Throttle back a bit on the drama there, Laurence Olivier!

[son of a vic]

99% of the posters here are great. I hate contributing to a thread like this because it always seems like we are ripping on 50% of the posters when really it's one or two.

Well, I'm sure that the "one or two" includes me. Whatever. If you "hate" contributing, why not just move on and not post? Your post reeks of insincerity. You very much enjoy jabbing your fingers into others eyes.

Tis still early in the season... Lets just enjoy one week at a time and see what happens, ok?

shadow - Good things come to those who are patient and wait. Bad things come to those with bad motives. enjoy the wins, if us "Ted bashers" need to apologize and seek forgiveness from the many relatives of Nostradamus who have settled here, there will be PLENTY of time... Patience.

This is somewhat surreal. Two years ago Retail thought I was the anti-christ, because I was calling for Sherm's head. Now he has a hard on for Ted, for supposedly being a "lyin' prick", and other opinions based on nothing more than than his hatred for the man. Oh how thee worm has turned.

[SkinBasket]

No shit. Here we go again with the majority versus the minority nonsense. Persecution! Witch hunts! Inquisitions!

If you have an opinion that is in the minority, don't blame the majority for responding to you. The reason people with opinions in the minority get "ganged up on" is because there are many, many more people with a differing opinion, thus the term MAJORITY, than there are those with a similar opinion, thus the term MINORITY, not because there is some grand conspiracy to silence unpopular opinions.

Why does this always have to be about "popularity" and "majorities" and claims of forced conformity instead of what it is about - someone's stupid opinion that a lot of other people happen to not agree with?

Don't believe me? Revert to the original post, and Shadow's basic point - 2. I WAS CORRECT and the rest of you fools just didn't believe me. IT IS WEEK FOUR, for heavens sake. Lots can still happen, however, but Shadow decided that TODAY, all of those "negativists" need to own up to the "facts" right now, no more waiting because it's clear. We don't need to watch the team play the other 12 games, because today at 4-0 his "opinion" is forever validated, even if the team goes off the ski slope and ends the year at 4-12, I guess...

Or it could be that all the people who were calling him an idiot, among other things, decided that BEFORE THE SEASON STARTED, was when all the optimists needed to "own up to the 'facts.'" And maybe the people who had to listen to post after post about how fucking doomed this team was are saying, "Hey, guess what? We're 4-0 bitches!" because it supports their argument that Thompson is trying to build a winning team.

And don't tell me that if we were 0-4 right now all the "negetivists" wouldn't be doing the same goddamn thing.

[RashanGary]

Great summary, skinbasket.

[Lurker64]

I don't really like this "Us vs. Them" stuff.

Clearly, some of the players that Thompson had faith in that most of us didn't have surprised us pleasantly. We should all be happy about that, and Thompson deserves some credit for having faith in these guys. I freely admit to being very pleasantly surprised with Bigby and the TE play, notably.

Clearly, some things aren't working as well as they could or should, and some blame probably should be distributed between the coaches, talent, and GM. I fully expected the run blocking of the OL to be a lot better than it has been, notably.

Regardless, we should all be happy that we're 4-0 and arguing about the GM during the season is silly and pointless. General Managers don't do much during the season, and until the season's over it's a little to early to fully grade out their plan. A man that could see the future would probably have set up this team better than Ted Thompson did. But regardless, Ted built a team that's undefeated through a quarter of the season and he at least deserves credit for not screwing that up.

But how the Packers do the rest of the season is a lot more on Mike McCarthy than it is on Ted Thompson. Give Ted a break, we fight about him during the offseason. Until we lose a game, let's not even bother fighting during the season.

[Scott Campbell]

I've done the best I know how to leave the "drama" out of my posts above. I do not know if I've succeeded as I have some strong views on the topic.

I've noticed the effort.

[ZachMN]

Let me just say this, I will never shy away from saying anything, I can take a beating; I just didn't want to be seen a pessemistic about the start. I just feel as if some of the fans are getting ahead of the season. A lot can change and we need a running game badly. But, that beign said, anything can happen and if we have to throw our way to the playoffs, so be it.

I think TT is doing an awesome job. No GM is perfect, look at how many first round busts threr are and how many 5, 6, and 7th round picks do very well. But for me, he struck gold with this coach. MM hasgot something that Sherman didn't have.

I'm excited but trying to remain grounded. I hope we see deep playoffs, title game vs Dallas perhaps?
