mighty_thor 115 Posted September 30, 2015 Â So Im supposed to be jealous of that? Nope...still not. Back to back HOF caliber QBs....pretty much happy with who has been QBing the Packers for the last 23 years or so. You should be happy but it's natural to be a little envious of a QB who is 21-8 in the playoffs and has won 4 Super Bowls when your two great qbs combined are 18-15 in the playoffs with 2 rings. You are looking backwards at 23 years and no matter who you think was the greatest QB of all time, there is no doubt that Tom Brady is the most accomplished QB ever.

But slow was walking around thinking he was in the midst of a dynasty when in actuality it's been a series of under achievements and choke jobs. Thought his team was elite but it ain't.

Kanil 520 Posted September 30, 2015 Â they don't go .500 or under 4 times in 12 years. Â Giants fans were calling for his head at least 2 seasons out of those 12 Â even McCarthy has only had 2 such seasons Good coaches cant go .500 or less 4 times in 12 years? Your words, not mine. Â So what if a coach went say 6-10 (.375), 7-9 (.438), 7-9 (.438), 11-5 (.688), 5-11 (.313), 5-11 (.313) in a 6 year stretch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magnificent Bastard 191 Posted September 30, 2015 Ok, so no excuses this year. The division stinks, they have a 3 game lead on Seattle, nothing coming out of the NFC east to be concerned about. So right now it's the Cardinals and the Panthers/Falcons. GB should beat any of them at home. They have the best QB and the best coach according to Slow Nuff. And seeing as they beat the Pats last year, a championship shouldn't be a problem. Get er done. Or Mc Carthy should go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it will be done again  yada yada yada...you keep acting like I think McCarthy is some all time great. Just because I said he is a damn good coach and up there with what is in the league right now. In this era, with what they have invested in Rodgers...you can't lose such a thing and expect to win. With what % they have of their cap in Rodgers, the Oline, and mostly on O...they can't afford to lose their big weapon on D in Matthews. Can they survive without Bulaga like they have? Sure. If Linsley goes out at C..they may be ok with Tretter. But lose another tackle or Lang or Sitton...would be hard if its for long.  Similar on D. Lose another backup LB or Perry or Neal...maybe they handle that. Lose Peppers...even then they may be ok. Lose Raji right now or Shields or Matthews...its over on D. Makes Rodgers and the O have to do too much to just think they will win. Still can? Sure...but percentages obviously go down significantly with those types of hits.  They have already lost the starting RT for a few more weeks and their #1 WR.

Part of that is that the D can be very good at times, but overall is not great. Seahawks game was a combo of ridiculous things having to happen. Odds are, we don't ever see that again. You have a limited mobility at QB, bonehead play by Bostick, bonehead play by HaHa...along with some questionable other plays during the game (and yes, some of that is on McCarty as well as other coaches).

TD Ryan2 316 Posted October 1, 2015 I remember when beating the Yankees was a huge deal for Sox fans. It's like that now for Packer and Giants fans with the Patriots.  NE sets the standard for excellence. Everyone measures themselves by how they fare vs. NE and when they win, even in pre-season, it's a memorable accomplishment.  Same for Brady - he is the standard of excellence by which all his contemporaries are measured. Brady vs Manning Brady vs Brees Brady vs Roethlisburger Brady vs Rodgers Brady vs Luck  ... and on and on.

Herbivore 1,134 Posted October 1, 2015 Its funny that people look at Belichicks time with the Browns negatively. Â granted this is from the Pats website. Prior to joining the Patriots as an assistant, Belichick spent five seasons (1991-95) rebuilding the Cleveland Browns, whose 3-13 finish the year prior to his arrival was, up until that point, the worst in the history of the franchise. By 1994, the Browns were again one of NFL's best teams, boasting the second-best record in the AFC. Belichick's first head coaching opportunity came following the 1990 season, when his defensive efforts with the New York Giants helped claim a second Super Bowl title in five years. At the age of 38, he became the NFL's youngest head coach. In his first season, Belichick began the rebuilding process by restoring the foundation of the aging squad he inherited. In 1991, the Browns improved to 6-10 and played in 11 games that were decided by a touchdown or less. Following back-to-back 7-9 campaigns in 1992 and 1993, the Browns improved to 11-5 in 1994, a mark that is still tied for the second highest victory total in the 61-year history of the Browns franchise. The 1994 squad was defined by its defense, which allowed a league-low 204 points. In their return to the playoffs, the Browns defeated the Patriots, 20-13, in a first-round Wild Card game on New Year's Day 1995. The 1995 season was disrupted by the mid-season announcement that the Cleveland Browns franchise would be moved to Baltimore at the conclusion of the campaign. The announcement caused an undeniable mid-season distraction contributing to a 5-11 finish. Belichick did not accompany the franchise's move to Baltimore after the 1995 season.

It takes a certain amount of smarts to play receiver with the patriots and Brady won't throw to you unless he trusts that you will run the routes correctly. Johnson, Galloway and Lloyd were on the tail end of their careers as well. Moss by the way was called the "smartest receiver he has ever been around" by Belichick.
