Packers have business to take care of

Yan, you seem to forget that two seasons ago TT had his NFL's youngest team playing at home in OT for the right to go to the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, the team's oldest player tossed up another crunch time pick.

This is a big year for TT and MM. Both need a winning season and development on defense. Gonna be a fun season.

VinnyMac,
Boy, you may be right. I was at the championship game and remember thinking how bad Favre was looking during the entire second half. There are probably only a handful of coaches that would have done it, but inserting Rodgers at that point would have been the right thing to do. Of course, hindsight is 20/20...

i like how every time someone says anything bad about tt , you tt lovers start bashing favre and say we cant get over the fact that favre is gone. yes favre is gone and we are still packer fans but your beloved tt has already cost the pack 1 superbowl and now instead of hoping to go to the superbowl we pray for playoffs but we know 8 and 8 may be a reach.

In addition to the previous comments to "Yan" (is this the Chinese version of Jan?) is the fallacy of the GBP as a small-market team. This is not baseball, and GB is a state-loved, even national-loved team. GB is well in the top 10 of all team revenue not shared by the TV deal, not in the bottom 10.

Thompson has been an average GM at best. He has one winning season since his arrival. His only winning season and non-losing season came via the bane of all you Thompson fans, Brett Favre. Last year's team was basically the same team that went 13-3, minus Favre and C-Will and the team went 6-10. What do you Thompson fans have to say to that? Let me guess, "Guys got hurt". Well if that is your excuse for Thompson, then to that I say, isn't it Thompson's job to have capable back-ups and good depth if a starter is injuried?

Thompson doesn't even bring in a vet to back-up A-Rod last year. I am sure all the Thompson fans were jumping for joy on that spectacular move. It was like going with 3 rookies at QB last year. I can bet the Packers would have won or at least had a better chance to win the game versus the Bucs if a vet was the back-up?

His best draft pick thus far is Greg Jennings. I cannot understand why it took this long to extend Jennings. He is the Packers only impact player. Thompson extended A-Rod after only seven games,who at the time was an unproven commodity.

Thompson has drafted two complete bust in Harrell and Hawk. Harrell is Humpty Dumpty, he is broken and all the king's men can't put him back together again. Hawk for being the 5th overall pick, is average. By now, Hawk should be mentioned among the top LBs in league. He isn't even close to holding Demeco Ryan's jock( a LB drafted in the 2nd round the same year Hawk was drafted). Oh yeah, Ryan was the Defensive Rookie of the Year.

I give Teddy credit for building for the future, but the building has to be completed sometime soon. You just can't keep propping up the building with pole supports and hope the building stays up for now. It's like the 3 little pigs syndrome. There has never been a championship team that was also one of the youngest teams in the league. Developing the younger talent and keeping them in fold, along with quality vets is the foundation to a championship team. Please see the Steelers of last season.

I will just say it like this, the Packers play a 8-8 schedule and go 13-3. The following year, the Packers play a 13-3 schedule and go 6-10. Not even close to being a contender.

NUFF SAID.

"There has never been a championship team that was also one of the youngest teams in the league" The Colts were one of the youngest the year they won the Super Bowl.

Also, just wanted to point out that in my original post above, I did not once mention Favre.

Cheers.
