Official Green Bay Packers discussion thread Part VII

[Upshall18]

What an end to the season for the offense. Defense is still terrible but has benefited from some very big missed throws by QBs. Hopefully QBs can continue to miss throws against the defense in the playoffs

Capers is a genius!

Depends if the Packers get Potato Manning or Eli Montana next week

It's the playoffs. I know what I'm expecting

[Upshall18]

On paper we've got a pretty tough schedule next year but we all know a lot can change between now and then.

Home:
Lions
Bears
Vikings
Saints
Bucs
Ravens
Bengals
Seacucks

Away:
Lions
Bears
Vikings
Falcons
Panthers
Browns
Steelers
Cowboys

This year was supposed to be a cake schedule and they ended up 4-6...and getting their asses whipped by the Titans and Redskins.

A cake walk by last years standards. Look at how some teams ended up this year. You've got the Panthers and Cardinals being crap, Miami and Raiders doing quite well, etc.

NFC North title is NFC North title

Looking back in this thread its funny to see how many people gave up on the team. So glad to be proven wrong.

I'll admit, I didnt think they could get it together in time. Rodgers and the offense is the reason, they bailed the defense out pretty much every game (except the Seattle game in which we got 6 TO's). If not for some timely turnovers in the other games, the defense still is not great. Hopefully they can continue to be opportunistic in the payoffs and make just enough stops to allow Rodgers and the boys to score more points.

We're so fukt at cornerback it's not even funny. Kinda sad Gunter is now our best CB. Randall can't seem to figure out NFL receivers are fast.

I'm hoping with Randall it's injuries he's forced to play with because of our lack of depth. He was so promising last year.

In before he turns into another Hayward situation

Sadly very true. Rollins really took a step back this year. He gets burned way to often. I was actually happy to see Hyde at corner, he did well when we first drafted him there (before they moved him to safety). As long as Burnett and Haha stay healthy, we can afford to use Hyde at corner.

Eliot Wolf...does he get the GM spot and Ted takes on an adviser role or does Wolf leave?

Wasn't Ted just extended recently?

Sad to see all our front office talent leave. Look at KC Oakland and Seattle thriving now

They don't let Wolf leave

Just the fact that they had to advance their timetable because so many other teams are interested shows how valuable this dude is.

They did, but other teams want Wolf before that TT's contract is up, so they have to pull the trigger sooner

Yup. I know the talks are that Ted won't be GM after this year, but will still be doing something within the franchise. Hopefully he hands out gatorade to the players or something. Watching that guy do a press conference is painful. When he talks a child loses its soul.

His eye for talent is pretty great, so I think he fits as an adviser and talent scout perfectly

Hopefully Wolf would be a little more aggressive in the FA market.

We have to be. We can't address our CB issue with drafting more. We already did that with Randall and Rollins and we all see how that turned out. The way it sounds, the plan is to re-sign Jared Cook too. Which I'm all for.

This draft is going to have to be defense heavy once again. With maybe a higher round RB in there pending what goes on with Eddie. I don't forsee him sticking around, but I see him going to Minnesota and gashing us twice a year or something fun like that.

I think Rollins has more potential than Randall. Idk what Randall's deal is but he is the king of getting burned. HaHa and Burnette played great this year. But the corners scare the sht outta me going into this game

[papi93]

A defensive coordinator that doesn't give them safety help when they are getting beat like a drum doesn't help things either.

[raytripp86]

Man I'm miss the beginning of the game tomorrow, hopefully I can leave my appointment early to catch it.

I think Randall could thrive as a ball hawking saftey in this defense. Especially when you see plays like the one he made against Seattle. And I think Rollins can be a very good slot corner.

The one problem I have with our corners right now is that Gunter is the only true outside corner. Losing Shields hurts a lot because Randall and Rollins aren't very good on the outside, and now Hyde is going to have to play outside more as well. But the experience he has might be the best thing for the secondary right now.

Going up against Eli and that WR corp could be rough, but I think potato manning is going to show up and the D will make a couple big plays.

lions or seahawks?

if lions win - winner of our game goes to ATL
if seahawks win - winner of our game goes to Dal

honestly for me it doesnt matter if we go to dal or atl. I feel like we will get revenge on ATL in ATL. Both defenses are very much torchable so we stand a good chance vs either. I think seattle will win and we go to DAL, tho.

Century Link gonna get hit hard by Isis

The country rejoices

Same, I think we play Dallas. No matter what though I think the Packers are "underdogs"(to talking heads) to either. But I would say they have the best chance against the cowboys simply due to the fact the cowboys are young and might get shook on offense.

[YOTTO]

Didn't realize Dorsey's contract was up after this season in KC.

We definitely have a lot of options but unfortunately we can't keep them all. Wolf, Ball, Gutekunst, Highsmith are all internal options and then throw Dorsey into the mix. I think San Fran ends up with at least one of these guys though.

Wolfe is on the short list but interviewed with San Fran last week. KC GM (Dorsey)is rumored to be a lead candidate now as well as Russ Ball (our VP of operations).
