Didn't you hear? Hundley is a year away from replacing Rodgers and destroying the league.

Also think we will be seeing more of Cobb and Montgomery out of the backfield as rub's.

1 FB
3 Rb's
6 Wr's.

My early roster prediction.

I think consistently getting to the door step and not being able to cross it does put more pressure on them. Two years in a row they were to a point where something small might have been the difference. If you are not getting better, you are getting worse.

Basically all the critical pieces of this team are under contract and should be coming back. There are regular decisions on those like Raji, Kuhn, Starks and such on whether to bring them back or not, though none are going to require huge money. If they don't bring some of them back, they need to have an equal or better replacement in order to maintain the status quo. After this coming season, we are looking at a more critical FA crop to be retained or replaced, Sitton, Lang, Peppers plus Lacy if he gets back into shape. If Ted doesn't go the extra distance this year, it may be a couple years or more before they are in as good a position.

As for Mike, he needs to get back to the roots of the system that won him a SB. Get back to using the short passing game to setup the deep shots. rather than just expecting our guys to win the matchups all the time.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

EVERY offseason is critical. Not putting emphasis on it being critical is the very reason this article is being written today. Perception is your reality. Too many lulled into a false sense of things being okay until this year came and the mask came off and...Oooooh, that's FUGLY. Now, all of a sudden things are critical? LOL. The critical clock started years ago.

Of course, Nerd, I wholeheartedly disagree on Adams...will never be anything but a borderline 3rd WR, if that. He may look good as a 4th or 5th guy but we all saw that he can't get it done and wasn't worthy of being a 2nd round pick. Another miss to pair with the miss of Richard Rodgers. You miss two times like that on guys you have to count on because you have no other pool to pull from and you get what you got this year. FUGLY football on offense.

I'm super curious to see if the pulse free Ted Thompson springs to life finally or if he's just content to be his old content not good enough self again this offseason? It is critical he actually participates a bit this offseason.

I didn't know McCarthy called the "Morgan Burnett take a knee with 40 yards of open turf in front of you play." Apparently he did, what a silly goose that Mike McCarthy is!

It almost seemed like they wanted to win, but not cover the spread. #verysuspicious

This forum is like watching an afternoon Soap opera.
A person can leave for a month, 3 months, 6 months, even a year, come back and find that nothing has really changed.
The same people talking the same stuff.
😄😄😄😄😄😄

What happened last year, in 2014, 2011, 2007 any year is old news.
Those that dwell in the past, are never going to be happy.

I am looking forward to this off season to see which players are going to stay and who is leaving.
The offense is probably going to stay pretty much the same,
Kuhn, Jones, Barclay probably won't be back, but there are guys. ready to take their places.
The ever improving D is what I am watching.
Who stays and who goes will determine what new players will be added.
Whatever's happens, 2016 is looking to be a formidable year for The Packers.

The Packers are not alone in having crazy endings.

THEY HAPPEN ALL THE TIME TO A LOT OF TEAMS.

Man.... I wish I was a fan of a good team, instead of the sucky PACKERS.
Let's see... How many teams have won more Super Bowls then the Packers in the last 49 years. THREE.
Pittsburgh has won 6, and Dallas and San Fran 5 each. And Dallas last won one in 1996, and San Francisco the year before that.
I just don't agree with the "doom and gloom" that some fans seem to enjoy.
The injuries really hurt the Packers this last season. To ignore that is ignoring facts.
Our defense looked better then it has in years.
I have a lot of hope for this next season.
Was I upset that we didn't "win it all" this year? Of course! But I see goods things ahead. Especially if Lacy can get his weight under control and Nelson can come back 100% healthy.

Shooting way off target, Cheesey. Manipulating stats with an agenda to quell unrest.

Tom Brady has 4 rings and 6 SB trips. When Brett and Aaron eras are over, combined, we'll have two rings and 3 appearances. Oops. Forgot Bart Starr. So, 3 HOF Qbs will produce less SB appearances than Brady and same amount of rings. FAIL. Open your eyes and think clearer and bigger.

New England has done much more with one HOF QB than we've done with THREE. We have failed and you can try deflecting from that but it's truth.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
