Sure Would Be Nice

Sure would be nice if TT got off of his lackadaisical complacent stylie horse and pick up a few blue chippers.    This build from the draft ain't floating too many boats these days.

THE PACK WILL BE BACK !!!!!!!!

I agree with both of these sentiments, however, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO PREDICT A SUPER BOWL.

If I can't, (and I really can't) then I am unsatisfied with the state of my team.

Why is that so difficult to understand?

It's because, as Duck has clearly stated, he's HAPPY with the team.  He's HAPPY to win the little conquests.  8-7-1 and being handed the North crown by a very bad Lions team puts some sprung in his spandex--right where he likes it to be!  Look at all the shittier teams and count your blessings, muthafucka!  He's content.  He's complacent.  It's just easier for it all to be just fucking DANDY so get with the program, BITCH!

I just don't see all the gloom and doom scenarios.  More than likely we'll be the favorite to win the NFC North and be in the playoff mix somewhere.  Predicting a Super Bowl would be silly but I like our team.

There are many reasons for optimism.  Our offense is as good as it's ever been.  The emergence of Lacy and the running game is huge.  With a healthy Rodgers, we'll be balanced.  Our young line will get better with Bulaga back and Bakhtiari hitting the weights during the offseason.

The D is our problem and even if they retain Capers, which I expect them to do, one critical piece of the puzzle could turn things around.  We need a stud safety.  If we can find this player and get Matthews back, all of a sudden this unit looks decent.

Plus, the rest of our division has rebuilding issues.  In addition, the windows for Seattle and San Francisco might be closing because they have to resign their young QBs and all of their other players up for contract will be showcased during the playoffs.  The teams that advance the farthest in the playoffs are the ones that usually suffer the most free agent losses.

So, I ask you again, why all the pissing and moaning now?  Things look pretty good to me for 2014.

If I were McCarthy I'd say we will contend for the SB. But I am not. It is unRingolike to make bold predictions this early with so much in between now and next August. However, just for Thor's sake I'd say 9-7. Just about where we are now. Even with ARod and maybe Matthews on the field a lot more we have a tougher schedule. But the good thing is that we are in the NFC North. And that means MM and TT can win another division title going 8-7-1. And then anything can happen.

I feel your pain, Ringo.  This last season was painful.  Not winning a single game in five tries in November was downright ugly.

But to suggest that the Packers are unconcerned or complacent is ridiculous.  Do you really think they're just chuckling and saying "ah, fuck it" as they slack off to produce a mediocre product???

Let me ask you this.  WTF do you want to do if you really want change?  Fire Thompson?  Fire McCarthy?  Fire Capers?  That's what is going to have to happen if you want to get a radical change in the Packers' program.

I'm on board for letting Capers go and taking our chance with a new program.  He's disappointed me numerous times since 2009.  Thompson and McCarthy?  I'll keep them both, thank you very much.

No.........just have TT get off his butt and pick up some free agents to fill in the missing blanks.   Not that complicated really.    BLOCKING AND EFFEN TACKLING......the basics.  Been recording the Packers games off the DirecTV box to CDs.   Dang..........the Eagles marched right down the field on the Packers defense to finish the 4th quarter the same way as the Niners did..........and I AM EFFEN TIRED OF THIS !!

It's become a country club environment, Duck.  In your opinion, not mine.  The unique ownership structure coupled with a good 'ol boy CEO in Murphy equals a void in pressure/urgency from the very top.  TT feels no heat from above so TT, being a confrontation avoider to begin with (who admits he has cried in letting certain players go) has no shit from above to pass on down the line.  Whatever heat McCarthy feels therefore originates with TT...and an afternoon at the dog park would expose the fat man to more shit than he gets from that source.  Why do you think McFatty reflects the complacency he did, for example in his season wrap press conference?  I was astonished.  He clearly hadn't even THOUGHT OF or reflected one fucking bit on what could be the answers to several questions the softball league GB press pitched up there.    Seriously, you're trying to draw substantive conclusions from a friggin press conference?

Question:  How would you assess your job performance this season:

Answer:  MY job performance??  Ahhhh...uhhhh...    I don't know--that's maybe a better question to ask Ted.

Accountibility, Duck.  It starts at the top.  Any A-caliber GM would be ALL OVER shit like that given the season the Pack has had.  PLENTY of fucking accountibility to go around after that abysmal season...yet it hasn't even OCCURED to the Fats by SEASON'S END to allocate some thought to what he is doing wrong/right, identify problem areas and make corrections?  That's what a leader fucking DOES...and if you're too slow/weak to conclude self-assessment--then you never GROW and thus--NOTHING CHANGES!!  How do you know Thompson and McCarthy aren't vigorously reviewing and analyzing things right now?  Have you bugged their offices?  No, never mind that.  I don't know what kind of kinky shit the albino does behind closed doors.   

This fucker would need Pampers right now if he worked for me--but I guarantee you, if he worked for me that team would not have finished 8-7-1.  And I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down!

Finally--your black/white thinking is catching up to you again.  Firing people isn't always the answer.  A good leadership structure systemically forces change/accountibility by it's very process.  How do you know that's not happening right now?  McCarthy is taking the fat man approach--conveniently blaming the outcome on variables outside of his control.  The injury God has frowned upon him, right?  My ass.  Fat people also blame McDonalds for serving them the food that makes them fat...but they keep on eating it, don't they?  Some freak injuries happen--but beyond that--there's a reason for them--just like everything else.  For example--no Don Barclay--no broken collarbone...  Spare me.  It's football.  Shit happens.  Each and every lineman in the league gives up sacks and pressures.  It could have been our all-pro Sitton.  


You're optimistic for next year.  That's great.  Make it a spankfest...but there are others of us who are concerned that issues like these left unaddressed only become future problems waiting to be repeated--and that's called incompetence.  Too much can come out of left field to fuck up your plans in life--there's no excuse for the shit that repeats itself because you were either too weak or too stupid to correct it when it first was made apparent.  And Thompson and McCarthy are fucking dolts who are blithely twiddling their thumbs and ignoring problems?  You make it sound like they're total dipshit jackasses.


Watch the fucking press conference with an open mind yourself and tell me what you see.  You're not stupid, Duck.  Take it in parlay with the dickhead's 'tude in previous press conferences as the team lost over and over and over again...  Send me a link.  I'll check it out again.


Optimistic for next season?  What's gonna change if nothing changes?   Who says there won't be any changes?  Meet the new boss--same as the old boss.


Ringo is absolutely correct.
