Even a great QB needs a solid defense. Mediocre QBs need great defenses.

Our defense did shit itself mightily, but Hundley played well enough to go .500. You can’t have 13 drops two weeks in a row and expect to win. Even with Aaron Rodgers.

Some teams have won the super bowl with very average QB's. You NEED a excellent defense. We had one in 2010.
We SHOULD have gone all the way in 2014.
If our D and new coordinator can turn us into at LEAST a decent D, we might have a chance.

It is hard to win when most of your top paid talent is either injured or not living up to what they are being paid.

Defense AND offense under produced.
Had Aaron Rodgers stayed healthy, we would have made the playoffs, and would have at most won one playoff game.
I'm glad now what happened did happen. It caused the major changes too happen. Otherwise nothing would have changed.
Maybe we will have a chance now, before Rodgers' career ends.

I mean let's face it, that Pittsburgh game was just a damn lightning bolt. Ben does that to alot of teams. I mean, Hundley is what he is. He needs to work in his accuracy mid to deep, and he needs to anticipate better. Know the routes, know the WRs, throw them open by leading them with the ball. Know when the dude is gonna make his move to separate. Put the ball on the dime.

I don't want to hear anymore bullshit about how the franchise is "wasting" Aaron's career, when dude is accounting for $20+ per. And btw, he wants to redo that to get more.

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

dfosterf (24-Apr) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.
