I can’t believe some of the personal attacks on here.

Anyways, what an awful performance in the 2nd half yesterday. Two straight games of disastrous 3rd quarters. Last week, we managed to survive thanks to a missed field goal. This week, we were on the other hand.

Let’s face it, this team is MEDIOCRE. They are not terrible, as some people have said. But, I would argue that considering the talent they have, being mediocre is even more frustrating that being Cleveland Browns terrible.

I find it fascinating to read the posts that “PackerBob” brought back from 2010. I remember very well after the Monday night Bears game people on this site calling for James Jones and MM’s head. Just as I did two years ago, I will continue to defend MM.

People have said MM has shown he can’t make halftime adjustments. That’s silly. He made perfect adjustments in Seattle (running the ball more) that got the offense in motion. I really don’t know what we could have done Sunday. Jennings, Finley, Benson were all out and the offense line couldn’t block. Aaron went back to his rookie season ways of holding the ball way too long and the defense looked porous. Plus, Crosby missed two kicks. Hard to win when that happens, regardless of the play calling.

I simply do not understand how people can bash a GM that is 2 years removed from a Super Bowl (with the #5 defense in the league) and one year removed from a 15-1 record. Being the repeating SB champs is hard. The Packers have had a pretty damn good two seasons. That doesn’t make this current mediocrity acceptable by any means, but it does mean that Thompson has done a damn good job.

Horrendous third down defense, horrible o-line play, shitty kicking, and coaching inability to adapt is ridiculous

Crosby wasnt sharp. Not being able to get to Luck was a disappointment too. But still, lets face it, the D isnt what is wrong with this team anymore. They may not be dominating…but they’re playing at or around their potential & good enough to win. The Defense IS improved.

Our problem is the Offense & more specifically, Rodgers. Its not ALL his fault or even close and I’m not saying he sucks or anything retarded like that….just that he isnt making enough plays with his feet. THAT & his accuracy are the pillars of his greatness. He had 5 carries for 57yds yesterday. 11yds a pop. Yet he’s forcing throws & took 5 sacks yesterday….when probably 4 of them he held on to the ball too long or stayed in the crumbling pocket too long. Running is a last resort for him now….something the Seattle & Indy games highlighted….he’ll only take off now if there is 20yds of open space in front of him. Dude, take the 5yds & slide instead of the sack! Move the chains! Use your athleticism! He’s too good & too athletic to be taking the sacks he’s taking & he’s conceding to pressure and forcing throws that in the past…..he used his feet to get out of & buy time to find better options & turn a negative play into a positive one. He still does it….he just needs to do it more….because the sacks he is taking are MASSIVE momentum builders for the opponent & the crowd. I understand the concussion worries nor do I want to get him killed…but the QB has to deliver. Period. He used to play with a chip on his shoulder…. I just dont know if that is still there. IMO, If he’s got time to do all those commercials….he’s got time to get out of the pocket. lol

Sure, we blew a big lead. And yes, our season is probably over. But I do recall the same rhetoric about two years ago when the Packers were 3-3 and then went on to win the Superbowl …without Ryan Grant, or Jermichael Finely, or Cullen Jenkins, and about 10 other players who went on IR.

Let’s take a quick trip back in time, shall we? About two years…

Damn, how many times did you post under my name???
In posting under my name, couldn’t you at least apply some measure of intellect to make possible the belief that it was I, not you, making the posts? You don’t need to be me just slow down & think about what your writing. It’s that easy!

I read these posts & I see refusal to adhere to blind devotion to mediocrity! And why should you? This team has potential. You fans have much more insight into this team than myself & what I’m concluding with this team may lack deep insight (conversely, I argue it’s a basic observation that is the primary problem) but it seems to me, they (Pack) have lost sight of the basic fundamentals of football. To neglect the O-line (most important component) & the D-line issue (both? again?) & suffer it’s continued deterioration (a criminal act) followed closely by predictable package schemes (both sides of the ball) is what, I believe, has hurt this team.
