There you go again Zero. Being satisfied with the division championship. Settling for another playoff loss. Sticking your head in the sand and pretending nothing is wrong. Putting up with incompetent leadership. Content with making the playoffs, proud of substandard play, Happy with being good

... lets see, did I miss anything?

Oh yeah, the most important one, being a reasonable fan who can appreciate a great effort on the season as a whole put forth by a team who played its heart out when its back was against the wall. A fan who realizes that not winning the SB means the team may have failed to win the SB but that doesn't mean the season was a failure. I'm as guilty as you are.

It was a good season, not lousy or great.
I didn't expect us to win the Atlanta game, but I thought we would be competitive.
The missed FG, the fumble by Rip.....there was 10 points lost, which would have tied the game at that point. Maybe it would have been a game then.
But when you are down as far as the Packers were, and come out in the 2nd half ice cold, you are done.
Rodgers was getting killed, while Matt Ryan had ALL DAY to find a receiver. And tackling? We had NONE. Julio Jones was like a ball in a pinball machine, bouncing off our DB's like they were not even there.
In an NFC title game, and you can't tackle? Surprised we got that far.

One thread says that it is completely unnacceptable for The Packers to finish the regular season 10-6 WITH ALL THE TALENT THAT IS ON THIS TEAM.

Then there are the threads that say Ted Thompson needs to be replaced because he has failed to supply Mike and Co. the talent to make The Packers a winner.

Seems some just talk out both sides of their mouths just to push their personal agendas.

Every year we make our predictions and what would be deemed a successful season.

I read these predictions and they ran anywhere from 6-10 to 16-0(that was me 😁 )

Everyone, of course wants The Packers to win The Super Bowl at the beginning of EVERY year, but most do understand that reality is it's not going to happen.

Most seasons are going to end in disapointment.

That doesn't mean the season wasn't a success.

Did The Packers meet the expectations that they and the fans were hoping for? No

They faced early adversity, some on this forum wrote them off after 10 games.

Thankfully The Packers wouldn't listen, they came together as a team and made one of the most improbable and impressive runs in recent history.


The Packers ran out of healthy players and made the early mistakes(missed FG, fumble, couple of dropped passes) that they could not afford to do against a high powered Falcon team that was playing to get to the Super Bowl for the 1st time in 18 years.

Accept it, for one game, The Packers were out manned, out coached, and out played.


The 2016 Packers finished 10-6 in the regular season.
The 2016 Packers won The North Division .
The 2016 Packers made a deep playoff run going 2-1.

ENJOY THE GAME!!!

Buck...I don't think anyone is saying or has said we're so talented we should win the SB. What has been consistently said is we have AARON RODGERS, and when you have that talent advantage at the most critical position in the NFL winning becomes so much easier. You won't find many years guys like Young, Montana, Elway, Favre, Rodgers, Manning or Brady had a poor regular season. Having a guy like one of those elites almost ensures an annual playoff trip. We get that we're going to the playoff every year. Some of us would actually like to see a team assembled that doesn't fold when it gets toward show time.

Nobody has said Ted's stocked this team so full of talent that it's a shame we're not winning. Again, we know our fortunes rise and fall on #12. Would be nice if we had another component to rely on. The D has been such a sinkhole as to our winning. Could it at least not be that? Could it just be akin to a game manager at QB for our D? Just a unit that won't get embarrassed and destroyed year after year or fail in big moments routinely?

I'm glad to see the tide turning a little bit in some of our fanbase. 6 years is a lot of evidence to go on when the dyed in the wools used to say it's just one year, we still are this that and the other thing. That is getting harder to promote because the audience for it is slowly starting to shrink. Not quite enough for the change we need to see but at least the train has left the station.

It's too bad Atlanta didn't have to go with their 3rd string QB on Sunday. We may have stood a chance but no guarantees. The Bears 3rd stringer drilled us on the road, too, but we eeked by with our terrible defense in that one. Oops, had to face a QB who can actually throw it and had some real WR's. That has always spelled disaster for this D. ANY above average veteran QB routinely dismantles our defense save for Russell Wilson who is the one outlier.

Don't know about you, but I'd like to see a real force assembled instead of hoping and praying we get to face a 3rd string QB to get to the SuperBowl.

Maybe 4 more years with AR, then what?
Think where we would have been the last 5 years with an "average" QB?
If the Packers really care about getting another SB trophy with Rodgers still here, they need some SERIOUS moves NOW!
Jettison Ted, and see what Eliot Wolf can do to raise this team to the next level.

Pacing back and forth?

Jesus, how big is your shower?

Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.

dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
