Comment on Gunslinger throws another interception by Bob

The second line of my note above should say ” . . . as many meaningful games . . . “. And OK while probably inaccurate, the point is Favre got us the Lombardi Trophy ony once . . . heck, Big Ben has 2 and he’s barely a quarterback!

Loved the article! Been a Packers fan my whole life — now 51. Have ALWAYS thought Favre was over-rated and over-blown (by himself and the media). He lost 3X as many games as he won in his career, particularly in the playoffs. I was pleased when we drafted Aaron, and wish we had rid our Team of Favre earlier. We owe Favre nothing. He was an under-achiever — big deal one Super Bowl victory in all of those years, with some great talent around him. Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl for god’s sake! Bart Star is our greatest quarterback ever because he was a winner, and let’s hope Aaron gets another Super Bowl ring or a few so that Brett will be a far distant memory. Aaron, the Packers, and our fans don’t deserve to be associated with the diminishing legacy of Mr. Favre.

Congrats to the Pack but….
Very disappointed that myself, Debbie and the kids waited hours outside to welcome back the Pack just to find out that Arron Rogers did not even come home to the welcome and very few of the other players even bothered to have their windows down for us to see with the exception of the classy DD who is always one for the fans.
Thanks Donald Driver.

Comment on Ted & Mike flirting with fire on punt returns if they use Jennings by Official Green Bay Packers Thread - Page 44 - Operation Sports Forums

[...] Packers Thread Tramon returning punts is one thing. I don't like that either. But the idea of Greg Jennings returning punts scares the hell out of me. Hate it, hate it, hate it. __________________ Packers | Badgers | [...]

Comment on My guess for the Packers Opening Day 53-man roster by aaronqb

aaronqb — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 05:32:53 +0000

Way off …

- Lee or Havner get traded or cut. Crabtree and Quarless make the team
- Either Colledge or Spitz gets traded or cut
- Giacomini makes the 53 man. He may start in 2011
- Peprah does not make the 53 man
- Bush goes when Harris returns from PUP
- EDS gets cut
- They go with a 5th WR – Swain or Dillon
- Toribio out. Pickett is the backup NT and no way they keep 7 DL in a 3-4

Comment on Packers Mock Draft v5.0 by brian

OK. I can see how people get the impression that Clifton and Tausch are superb, and dont get me wrong theyre very good. However, of those 84 sacks, Tausher was in the games for over 23 of a possible 32 (regl season only)and Clifton in closer to 26 of 32 games. Yes theyre good. But 84 sacks that both had large parts in giving up (as well as Colledge, absolute scrub), he will start to feel it, pressure that isnt there, ghost steps, he will not feel comfortable, passes will be rushed, bad decisions start to get made. Our saviour turns into our curse. You have to get someone who will not let Aaron get rocked, like a big 6’7 330lb blanket, make him feel safe and secure. Impact defensive players can definitely be found in the later rounds, Im not so sure the same argument can be made for high quality OL.

The sacks were ridiculous last year earlier in the season when we were using stiffs at RT and when Clifton was out hurt at LT.
It was Ogunleye week one, Antwan Odom week two who really killed Arod, and that was around Barbre and then mostly Colledge. Of course, same with Jared Allen.

The fact is that when Clifton and Tauscher had healed up and Mark gotten the cob webs off him, they only allowed 10 sacks the final 7 games, which is fine. Everyone gets sacked sometimes. And some of those 10 were Arod’s fault, case in point the last one where the little CB from Arizona got him in OT.

Our offense is great. That’s why TT paid the big money to keep Clifton and Tauscher right now. They protected Arod pretty well the last half of the year, and they made Ryan Grant look like Heisman Eddie George. If our offense is the same as last year, not even improving, then we have a great offense.

We lost because our PASS DEFENSE looked like the Minnesota Golden Gophers against Texas Tech 2008. Even with Woodson NOT MISSING ONE GAME, we still made Favre twice, Roethlisberger, and Kurt Warner look like 1984 Dan Marino on steroids. We were embarassed. Despite a great offense and great rush defense, we were torched like the Olympic Flame. All because of our pass defense.

The pass rush needs to step way up.
And we need to have guys that know how to cover, which means no more Jarrett Bush and no more street stiffs like Josh Bell. We can do a lot better than that, as long as Ted is willing to bring in some veterans for once, instead of always looking for some fresh young meat.
