The Patriots won it in like 1996, I think. Everyone forgets that the Packers won 19 games in a row a few years ago, so that means we are super good now, even though our roster is completely different.

Mx – bingo !
QBs will transition from resource to commodity.
Just as RBs are now only good for 4-5 years of life with clear peak at 3 yrs.
As long as colleges keep supplying new material ( Johnny Football) this will be the way of the future.
BTW….Constant rule changes geared towards protecting passers is only going to make this mire than the “…flavor of the month…”

Watch a Patriots game and tell me the Packers line is good to go. It is wishful thinking that Sherrod, after a catastrophic leg injury and virtually no NFL game experience, will be back next year and take over LT. Another year with Newhouse can’t wait.

People stand away from the ledge!

Let me throw in my 2 cents.

Heres the changes we need for next year, all completely doable.

-Draft a running back ( a good one). Its time. Look I know we arent going to be a big running team while MM is coach. But as someone here already brilliantly said, one of the ways to improve our defense is to improve our TOP on offense. Also having a real threat at RB for catching swing passes and screens would be HUGE for Rodgers. Lets do this thing.

- Get our oline healthy and draft a center.

- Spend the rest of our draft picks on defense. Look we have some talent there but we have to find a couple of linebackers. Hawk is too slow and we need someone to rush the QB other than CMIII.

Finally we have to sign Jennings. Let Finley go if we have to, but Jennings needs to be back. James Jones has proven his worth but he is no #1 receiver. He’s a slower Antonio Freeman and I never thought Free should be a #1 either (and I was right). Jordy cant stay healthy and honestly why should we expect that to change? I know Jennings has been hurt too, but with both Jordy and Jennings we should hopefully always have one on the field.

As long as we have Rodgers and CMIII we are going to be competitive. I look forward to next year.

Thanks and Peace Out Fools.

icebowl…it may seem running QB’s are the future of football, but running QB’s usually have a short shelf life. The 3 QB’s you’ve named are basically all 1st year players….Defense’s will adjust, running QB’s get hurt. I dont recall seeing running QB’s winning Super Bowls, because of Wilson, Kaepernick and RG3, running QB’s are just the flavor of the month, so to speak. I would take Rodgers over all 3 of those QB’s in a heartbeat.

Charles Woodson was asked after the game by a reporter………..What adjustments did the defense make at 1/2 time. Charles said ” there wasn’t any adjustments”…….Therein lies the problem with Capers….get rid of him. I’ll help him pack.

Iltarian in all his wisdom also states ” The only problem we had was guys not playing their fricking assignment. Play the way they did against the Vikings in Lambeau, and they would have been fine.”……The ONLY problem?.<——lmao……Iltarian, listen up…….Here's the problem …..The 49ers are NOT the Vikings……Joe Webb isn't Colin Kaepernick. The 49ers are a physical, tough football team…The Packers defense got an old fashion beat down, among the worst in NFL history…..Thats the bottom line. Promote Kevin Green to D C…..We need to see a pulse on defense.

Again…iltarian..put down the green and gold kool-aid for a second…..We don’t have questions and problems because we lost a game, we had questions and problems, before….we lost the game…….Itarian says the O line is fine….Really?…lol….Its so fine, it can’t run block, its so fine, it constantly gets pushed back into Rodgers…….Then iltarian, blames Rodgers for the sacks. Brady has 4 or 5 seconds to pass. If Rodgers holds the ball for 3 seconds, Morons like iltarian blame Rodgers for holding the ball too long. Newhouse and Barclay are at best, back-ups. Why do you think they always have to give them help?

After saying most of the year that there is no way they let go of Tramon Williams, I almost feel he’s the representation of what is wrong with our defense. Inconsistent effort, lack of physical toughness, unwillingness to make tackles in key situations, etc.

I would have never said this at the start of the season, but we can’t have a high-priced guy on the roster with these characteristics. It’s time to get rid of all the softies on this defense and he is softie number one. His high salary and inconsistent play is a constant reminder to this defense that that type of thing is more than acceptable.

I bet that Pro Football Focus stat was on pass coverage which they are decent at….at times. They are pretty damn awful in knowing assignments, playing with violence, being consistent, flying to the ball, wrapping up, etc.
