This is shaping up to be a great race down the finish likely culminating in a week 17 showdown for the division.

This week @ Minn is the other game that is critical for the pack because of divisional tiebreakers. 10-6 is looking good for

the division with maybe no wildcards out of the Norris.

 

The @ Detroit games should be interesting for both of us. Swamp dog will be off the hook if Detroit should upset either one of us.

Will swamp even return here after the Lions got beat by the Bills?

Did they just feel sorry for them and didn't want the Bills to go through the embarrassment of going 0-16?

[Walter34 3]

 

We'd still get the division on a tiebreaker ...

Nope

Swamp only sticks his chest out when the Kitties whip on some poor slobs.

They got beat ( ) by the previously winless and truly pathetic Buffalo Bills yesterday, so I expect him to stay quiet for a couple of days.

Thompson deserves credit for Packers' success

 

 

By Andrew Wagner

Senior Staff Writer

 

Published Nov. 22, 2010 at 5:28 a.m.

 

The Packers are 49-41 during Ted Thompson's five-plus seasons as general manager.

The chances of Ted Thompson having a street named after him in Green Bay are pretty slim but at some point, you have to wonder just when the Packers' general manager is going to get the respect he deserves.

 

Thompson was already an unpopular figure in 2008, when he allowed Brett Favre to sulk off to New York when he wasn't given the chance to reclaim his job after un-retiring.

 

The man was vilified last season while Favre was tearing up the league, even though his successor, Aaron Rodgers, was showing the makings of a franchise quarterback for years to come.

 

He came under fire for not trading for Randy Moss -- several times -- though later reports indicated that a deal was offered and it was Moss who was unwilling to come to terms, not Thompson. Remember when the Packers could have had tight end Tony Gonzalez? The Chiefs, not Thompson, backed out at the last minute. Same thing happened earlier this year when Marshawn Lynch became expendable in Buffalo -- the Packers made an offer, the Seahawks made a better one. It happens.

 

(By the way, Lynch has 217 yards on 74 carries in five games with the Seahawks.)

 

He's still the subject of barbs from fans disgruntled over Thompson's preference to draft and develop players instead of making high-priced free agent signings, yet all evidence at the moment points to Thompson being totally and completely correct, though you won't hear him say "I told you so."

 

At first glance, a 49-41 record in five-plus seasons at the helm shouldn't get Thompson thinking about his Packers Hall of Fame acceptance speech, but when you take into account the development necessary to turn a young roster of potential playmakers into a cohesive unit, eight-games above .500 is a respectable mark -- especially with the team now considered a favorite in the NFC.

 

Rodgers, Thompson's first draft pick in Green Bay, has emerged as a true leader and roster cornerstone. Watching him, cool and collected, Sunday against the Vikings while Favre could barely lead his offense to a first down should have won over those remaining stragglers who still think that Thompson should never be forgiven for letting Favre leave.

 

Let's face the facts: had Thompson relented, that very easily could have been the Packers looking like lost souls on the Metrodome turf. Rodgers, remember, would have been eligible for free agency after last season (he signed a six-year extension in Oct. 2008).

 

If Favre would have remained with the Packers, would Rodgers have stayed? It's pretty doubtful. The kid would have been a hot commodity and despite any relationship with Thompson, Rodgers would have been smart to walk.

 

Fortunately, though, Thompson did the right thing and sent Favre on his way. Parting with a legend was an ugly experience, but it was the right thing to do for the future of the franchise -- something that was obvious Sunday afternoon.

 

Thompson doesn't have the media savvy of Ron Wolf, who built the Packers into respectability, contention and champions during the 1990s. Wolf was the unquestioned leader of the team's football operations, working along side team president Bob Harlan -- another no-nonsense type -- and employing Mike Holmgren as a stern but effective head coach.

 

Those three left little doubt as to what direction the franchise was heading. Thompson, McCarthy and Harlan's successor, Mark Murphy, are much quieter than their predecessors, but have put the franchise on solid ground heading forward.

 

Nope, Thompson won't be beloved like Wolf, but considering what's he's accomplished, it's well past time the man starts getting a little bit of credit for what's transpired at 1265 Lombardi Avenue.

[Sho Nuff 720]

11 guys on the IR, 5 starters.

And the team is 7-3 and playing well.

On D...undrafted FA Sam Shields is playing well, and another former undrafted player is having a pro-bowl year (Tramon Williams).

Add in Woodson playing well, Clay Matthews, Raji...then you have the depth guys like Peprah and Bishop being huge contributors and you have to give Thompson credit for what he has done with this roster.

 

And yes, as predicted, no sign of swamp since that Bills loss.

[Sho Nuff 720]

From 2008 til present.

Packers with Rodgers 24-18

Teams with Favre 24-18

 

Packers are set up to keep being competitive and challenge for the division and the NFC for years.

Jets moved on from Favre and are in position and set up to compete for years.

The Vikings are in a downward spiral, just fired their coach, and have no answer at QB and are not set up for years.

 

Yeah...seems Ted knows what the hell he is doing.

Good Post.

[donhaas 18]

The sad thing is, if Brett plays again next year, he will likely make it 4 in a row vs. the Pack.

 

:doublethumbsup:

[donhaas 18]

I think the lesson that we learned in this thread is that being a GM -- much like being a football fan -- should be a long-term thing...

 

 

You notice all the Bears, Vikings, and Lions fans that were spouting off in this thread like crazy have all completely disappeared..... they simply aren't in it for the long haul...

 

It was all short-term foolishness.... and their team's management reflects a strategy and an agenda to keep that type of fanbase happy.... let's not take the time to research and draft our own great young players... let's just steal them from other teams.... Hutchinson, J. Allen, B. Favre, R. Moss, J. Cutler, Peppers, etc. Let's make a splash and keep our dumbass bandwagon fans happy... Let's not build this thing from the ground up with a sound foundation... our bandwagon fans don't have time for that!

 

And look at you all now! HAHAHAHA

 

Meanwhile, everybody makes fun of the Packers for doing the non-splashy thing: Drafting well, grooming their own young players

 

Yes, Packer fans took a lot of heat from the above-mentioned fans.... But how did it all work out?

 

But, Min/Chi/Det fan.... instead of running away like little girls after all the smack you talked in this thread (400 combined posts), you should come back... take notes, and ask... no DEMAND, from your franchises the same type of professionalism and long-range thinking that the Packers enjoy...

 

 

 

Dumb and dumber?

 

I think not

[FeelingMN 273]

Yes, Packer fans took a lot of heat from the above-mentioned fans.... But how did it all work out?

 

To think Green Bay used to be called Titletown USA.

 

Now it's....We're 2nd in the division and have only beaten one team with a winning record when we played them....ville

 

People with downhaas syndrome celebrate the littlest things in life.

Poor FeelingDownsSyndrome (just made that up! HAHAHAHAHA! LOL!) is relegated to playing the bitter Swampdog role... really stretching to try to make some point.... nobody knows what...

 

Packers have overcome a ton of injuries this year.... hats of to them... They've beaten the 7-3 Eagles in Philadelphia and shutout the 8-2 Jets in New York and are just getting better and better as the season progresses (they remind me of the Badgers in that regard )

 

If you really think the Packers are the second-best team in the division.... we can set up some PayPal bet for who will finish first Bears or Packers...

 

No?

 

Ok...

 

You were just making a funny.... Nice work

 

But don't get bitter; get better....

 

Starts with drafting your own players and getting good coaches in.... Yes, you can steal a little of both from the Packers and Badgers, but you won't really turn the corner until you do things on your own...

 

Instead of stealing an old Favre, you should be looking for an old Ron Wolf or TT... it all starts on top

Well, we are tied for 1st and a legit contender.

And they are set up to be a contender for several years.

Meanwhile the Vikings who went with Favre are not a contender this year and look to be a mess going into the offseason and next year.

Did I say the Packers were second best in the division?

 

Or did I say they were second in the division....because they have the same record as, but lost to Chicago....so if the season ended today....Chicago is NFC North Champs. World Class University my ass.

 

Rather than take advice from drunk Packer fans and their genius GM who has 1 playoff win under his belt, and two winning seasons out of five...I think I'll look at the World Champion New Orleans Saints who have a mix of good young talent and key free agent additions. That's a model that actually gets results.

 

Good luck this weekend at Atlanta....and hey, I'll say it now...if the Packers win, it'll be impressive. Atlanta doesn't lose at home....so I'm giving preemptive props. But.....BUT.....if they lose, I don't wanna hear any b!tching and moaning about the refs or how banged up the Packers are or there's always next year or whatever other excuse you Facker Fans can come up with. Just tip your hat and call Atlanta the better team.

Why did you bring up the point that the Packer fans were crowing about being in 2nd place when you knew (and everybody knows) that they are the best team in the division and will be at the end... I think you were being dishonest there... Classic Swampdoggian tactic....

 

I think Packer fans are crowing more about the direction of their team. They weathered the worst of it, yet are still in first place and are getting better each week... I know Vikingsfan would panic and look at the short-term (We're technically in 2nd place... Oh no! Let's get Favre/Moss/fire our coach/do something drastic so our fans don't turn on us).... but true to my point, Packer fans are smarter and relying on their own talent... 11 key players on the IR; including 5 starters... but we trust the backups that TT drafted to fill in.... Yes, this team should be 10-0 right now; but we're not going to panic over 7-3

That's a model that actually gets results.

 

The Packers have been the youngest team in the league for four years running... Again, a snobby Vikings or Lions fan (with their gigantic empty trophy case ) might look at playoff wins and demand things NOW, NOW, NOW.... but that's how you end up with a 41-year-old quarterback, a d!ckweed wide receiver, a fired coach who looks like Mr. Noodle and absolutely no future in this league....

 

So we will absorb your fairweather taunts about our team not yet reaching the standards that your own team has never set.... but we will be patient and revisit this later.... because we are fans for life... and the Packers are built for this next decade

Sounds good... Likewise for you and the Redskins

Big tilt this weekend for Min.

3-8 is tough to come back and make the playoffs

If the season ended today...that is the dumbest thing ever.

If the season ended today, the Packers have yet to finish their division schedule including another game against the Bears that they do, in fact, get to play.

The half game and tiebreaker talk before the two teams have played their 2nd game against each other is just mindnumbingly stupid.

Ahhh yes...there it is....the whole....there's always next year....or there's always the next 12 years. Classic defense mechanism. If things don't work out this year....there's always next year. That's taking a page out of the Lions playbook. I mean, they're kinda in the same boat. A good young QB...who's never won a playoff game....but aren't they too set up for future success? Shouldn't they be crowing too? Now....we both know why they aren't. And that's because they're realists. And that's what's funny about Packer....and judging by your Bucky thread, Badger fans too. They're deluded. They've got all kinds of hyperbolic assumptions about the worth of their team and built in defense mechanisms for their eventual defeat. Ay criticism...no matter how fair and factually correct is blasphemous. That's why you guys are freaks.

 

The mere fact that I state Green Bay is in second place really seems to bother you guys....when in fact, it's true. I can't help it that your team committed 20 penalties that night and lost. I'm not making a qualitative argument for who's better. Who cares.....there's only one way to judge who's better, and that's by wins and losses. Ultimately, the success of your season depends on winning it all....and if you don't, it's a disappointment. We can talk about the Vikings disappointment over the years....but maybe that discussion should take place in another thread. We're here to talk about the Packers right? And to that point, I think it's foolish for any fan to drill TT and the Packers for everything they've done....ala sweetness. That's stupid....TT has done a good job assembling this team. At the same time, it's stupid for fans to defend everything about TT and the Packers.....like you do.

 

Case in point....I'm calling my shot right now....when the Packers lose in the playoffs, you'll find something extraneous to pin the loss on. It won't be a costly turnover in overtime....it won't be a coaching decision....it won't be a lack of discipline....it'll be a bad call....or the weather....or some other bullsh!t excuse. It's just the Sconny mentality.

 

If the season ended today...that is the dumbest thing ever.

If the season ended today, the Packers have yet to finish their division schedule including another game against the Bears that they do, in fact, get to play.

So, in a nutshell... you are at angry at Packer fans for being optimistic after their young team weathered a tremendous injury storm to sit on top of their division and completely dominate their last 3 opponents (all pre-season Super Bowl favorites)....

 

 

This is hilarious coming from a fanbase who all but guaranteed a Super Bowl this year (talk about delusionial!) "We got everybody coming back; we're one play away... suck on that, puckerfan!"

A fanbase, mind you, that has all but completely disappeared off the face of the earth save your own weak-sauce Swampdoggian last throes (propertyCheneyCorp™)

 

 

 

I think you guys are, by far, the bigger freaks....

And I never pounded my chest about anything with the Vikings. I guess I'm not a prototypical meathead....no offense.

 

Like I've always said....I'll be here win or lose...and if the Packers win, I'll be here to congratulate you. And when they lose, I'll call you out for making excuses.

Laugh all you want...the two teams are tied.

But keep thinking they are in 2nd if it makes you feel better.

They are tied for 1st. Sorry you can't handle that FACT.

So, at the beginning of the season when every single one of your Hovan jersey wearing, GrainBelt drinking meathead Minnesotan friends were proclaiming "This is the Super Bowl year, Puckerfans!!!! Suck it!"... you were sitting quietly in the corner browsing your Maritime Sentry and whispering "No, 5-11... Team implodes... Favre cockshots and INTs pile up... Chilly fired... worst season ever "

 

 

Well, I say, kudos to you, good sir!

You are a gentleman and a scholar

Yes, on the inside you all deep-down know what the end result has been for exactly a century and what it will inevitably be this year, but on the outside you Michelle Bachmann lovers are constantly verbally sparring with your northern Wisconsin Ron Johnson-loving step-brothers....

 

MN Fan: We're going to the Super Bowl this year, Puckerheads! Everybody is back and we should have won it this year. Go drink some more paint-thinner, Sconnies!

Northern Wis.: Well, how many Super Bowls have you won? HAAHAHAHA

MN Fan: That doesn't matter. This is our year! Why are your women so ugly and fat* ?

Northern Wis.: haha, ViQueens suck! They're moving to LA!

 

[and scene]

 

This was 99 percent the reality and conversation of VIkingFan going into the season despite FeelingMN's quiet, rational, and sensitive disposition....

 

 

 

*Somehow the women get ugly and fat when you magically cross an imaginary line that separates extremely rural Minnesota with extremely rural northern Wisconsin... Still an excellent diss, as little sense as it makes...

[FeelingMN 273]

Northern Wis.: haha, ViQueens suck! They're moving to LA!

 

WHere did all the Los Angeles Vikings fans go?

 

I miss them already....

 

That imaginary line you keep talking about between Minny and Sconny.....actually separates Northern Sconny from Southern Sconny. Why do you keep trying to differntiate the two....when they're the same?

 

Sconny is Sconny man. Just accept what you are.

[dj88 0]

To think Green Bay used to be called Titletown USA.

Last I checked the Vikings are 0-4 in Superbowls...

[flynsqrls 1]

First of all, the season does NOT end today!

So anything beyond that is a WASTE of time...

 

First place is decided by number of wins/losses,

so the Packers are tied with Chicago for 1st after the end of week 11.

Since the division standings CANNOT list two or more teams on the same line,

the team with the "preceived" better statistics is usually listed first.

If none can be found, it goes in alphabetical order...

Baltimore beat Pitts, Chicago beat GB hence the order.

 

If you want to argue about wins or losses before the end of the season,

I'd HATE to see you at a Casino or horse track. Everyone there knows, it's NOT

what you're doing NOW, it's what you leave with that counts! LOL

 

Last season, I read soooo many posts about how B. Favre and the Vikings were the rage,

and they were!!! Beat my Packers twice, and it hurt real bad... but not as bad as or loss

to Arizona!!! As every true Packers fan knows, Good Brett would eventually yield to Bad Brett,

and Vikings fans found out the same we Packers fans did in the NFC championship game in Lambeau.

 

Green Bay has a very competent QB for years to come, the Vikings have TJ and???

Green Bay has overcome many injuries this year and are still in the thick of things...

The Packers turned it around somewhere during the J-E-T-s game, a win against Atlanta would

truly be sweet!!! If the Badgers can play the way they have been this Saturday against Northwerstern,

it will be a wonderful season for Bucky fans!!!

 

*** I am a Packers fan first and foremost, when Brett Favre left...

I welcomed and stood behind Rodgers, as I did with Scott Hunter, Jerry Tagge, Jim Del Gaizo(?), John Hadl,

Anthony Dilweg, David Whitehurst, etc... My biggest complaint about Favre, he threw too many INTs for a 15-20

year NFL veteran QB.

First place is decided by number of wins/losses,

so the Packers are tied with Chicago for 1st after the end of week 11.

Since the division standings CANNOT list two or more teams on the same line,

the team with the "preceived" better statistics is usually listed first.

If none can be found, it goes in alphabetical order...

Baltimore beat Pitts, Chicago beat GB hence the order.

 

Cheeseheads

Rodgers played about as well in this last game as I have ever seen him play

The Coach is still dumb though.

For not running the ball more?

For not challenging what was a failed conversion on 4th and 3?

For not having good special teams players (that would be Dumber's fault, too... no?)?

There are 12 players (6 starters) on IR; your comment shows your in depth knowledge of the game.

The fact is, Green Bay could have won this game IF McCarthy doesn't channel his inner Childress and screw up a challenge and if Green Bay trusted any of their backs in close to the goaline. Ryan Grant has been injured for 12 weeks. You'd think the Pack would have addressed that issue by now. But I guess you...and McCarthy want your franchise QB slugging it up in goaline situations the rest of the way?

 

Like I said....dumb.

 

Quit crying about all the injuries. The Packers had enough talent on the field to win on Sunday. The issue then is...why didn't they?
