We actually might make it to the Super Bowl this year... Green bay won't be in the playoffs lol.
They still have a shot I think, especially the way the Bears and Vikings are playing. If Chicago and Minnesota keep losing like they are and GB wins a few, they are right back in it.

Believe it or not, it's actually not so easy to win multiple Super Bowls with a top QB unless you're Bill Belichick and can build a full roster. How many Super Bowls did Tony Dungy win with Peyton Manning, Payton with Brees, McCarthy with Rodgers? All just won a single championship.

The Packers have been needing more quality talent for about 5 years now but when you have a great QB, you are usually able to win 10+ games a season so you're picking at the end of each round in every draft. It took Sean Payton three straight 7-9 seasons to finally be able to retool and put together the team they have now.

Will BB ever leave New England?

There have been ramblings about Brady and Bill feeling the same about each other just like Aaron and Mike. Add to that the Packer/Patriot game earlier this year when Rodgers and BB met at midfield telling each other they're the best. Looks like a match made in heaven.

he has to wait until 2 years after brady retired

It's astounding to me how many of you would bring in Mike McCarthy as an HC 'upgrade.' If you think the HC is the issue in Dallas--he isn't, but if you really think that--why would you bring in a complete non-solution to the problem and ride the next 3 years on that guy? If you're going to upgrade, hire an upgrade. If one's not available, take a longshot from college and pray you get lucky while ignoring the actual issues in Dallas some more.

Bingo. All those pining for Mike McCarthy need to think about this - just heard the ESPN Packers beat writer interviewed on the radio about the situation. He said MM believed players shouldn't rely on scheme, that they should win their matchups 1v1 and not use the scheme as a crutch. Sound familiar?

Yeah, let's hire a guy who can't win consistently with Aaron Rodgers.
Define "win consistently."
1 SB
2 more NFC championships
Playoffs pretty much every year Rodgers is healthy except this year (I think it was 9 times total).

That's a lot better than most.

Still the defense?

Well, I don't think the players should rely on it, but the team should still implement those things.

They are getting more Garrett and no one else in 2019!

Not at all. If a dude's gotta go, he's gotta go.
This :thumbup:


Plus it's them ( not worthy of typing their team name)
I would have fired him with 1 minute left in the 4 th quarter and hired some one in a clown outfit to escort him out of the stadium.

Anybody think it's a little classless to fire a coach right after the game like that? You can't wait until the next day?
MY MAN TONY DUNGEE was incredulous that they unleashed it in the final 1/4 mile lap of the seasons race,,, classless?,,, that 'term' don't even draw within sight of what that "WHA-WHA" LUCY placeholder maneuver that FRANCHISE pulled with that CHARILY BROWN belittlement they handed out ,,,, if I was the fired former cheese head Coach?,,, I'd be thankful to be shucked free of that petty non factor for future DECADES ORGANIZATION sooner rather than laters, IMPENDING EMPIRE IMPLOSION,,, their CURRENT Q.B. threaten's NO ONE in the LEAGUE & IS PRETTY MUCH FIXING TO get ROMO'D,,, by all who've got him on the remaining seasons scheduleo_O


* Rodgers is richly deserving of it as well,:popcorn:*

Packers are not that good of a team Rogers is eating up a lot of cap and Ted Thompson was not a very good GM. Look at their drafts lately besides WRs not a lot to show. When you have a QB eating up your cap you better be able to draft.

:lmao: Too Funny, from the SNAKE-BIT,,,crew,,,,Man!,,, cannot you recall the whipped dog&beat down look on that whining prima-donas smug-mug for 3.95% of the 4 quarters in that one game? It's that very same year where that #10 Dude muffed the punt& single handedly LOST that RAMS game for uso_O
