I hope you are right, but there is very little to base it off of right now.


He's got rodgers trust and that's more than enough for me

That's more than anyone but Davante can say in the WR corps and Lazard has been there less time than ESB and MVS

My point is that using injuries as an excuse is pointless because there are teams much worse off than GB. Most of the big ones are on offense right now, but we're still in a good spot with the Bears dropping the last 2 games.

Sure they need help on offense, but how long have you been watching GB? Honestly. We've had some historically amazing offenses in the past but without having a supporting cast on D it literally doesn't matter. In the 7 playoff losses, the D gave up like 33 ppg with that only being brought down by the Seattle NFCCG and it's typically over 40. It doesn't matter who is catching or running the ball when we can't get good field position or get the D off the field.

Complaining about weapons in the Tampa game makes me think you didn't watch it because the O line got absolutely bodied and that was after Aaron forced it to Tae which was essentially 2 pick 6's against us.



Officially out.


And if you look at super bowl winning teams historically, they almost always have atop 10 defense. In the span of rodgers career there's only been 1 or 2 instances where this wasn't the case.

Disclaimer: I researched this a year or two ago and going off memory so there might be more

I never said injuries are an excuse. I basically said they need insurance because the people they are relying on right now are missing games consistently between them.

You keep talking about improving the defense but haven't mentioned any ideas or how to fix it. Who can they sign Darius?

Why do you think he was forcing the ball to Adams? Because everyone else is garbage and has very limited trust in them. My point exactly.

Why do I need to offer impossible solutions of players that literally can't be acquired right now? You're obsessed with this hypothetical wasteland that literally doesn't matter because the FO is keeping the roster as is and hoping for the best. It sucks, but that's what it is.

Improving the defense doesn't even have to be players, but since you're crazed about bringing in guys, did you even think that maybe Pettine is the problem? Having players line up 9 yards off the ball on a 3rd and 2 is probably not the way to go when your secondary is the only "strong" part of your defense. Gap control and getting consistent pressure have been issues most of the year but it's been disguised because we've been playing from ahead.

GB fans have been beating this dead horse since the moment a WR wasn't taken in the early rounds of the draft. Anyone who has watched a game at all this year knows they could benefit from adding another guy, but after 2 months of the season and the deadline passing they didn't add anyone that wasn't already on the PS. It's frustrating as fuck, but we're locked in now

That's all I'm saying is that is sucks and I feel it's a bad decision and they are wasting another year of just being good while having one of the best QB's who's ever played. If you are happy just making the playoffs then that's your thing. I want them to win a superbowl and they clearly aren't making an extra push to do that.

The Packers 100% need better personal for the run D. Lowry, Barnes, Summers aren't ideal by any means. Those players need to be improved to have an improved run D, it doesn't matter who is the DC. Pettine isn't without blame but look at the names I just listed, do you think anyone who isn't a Packers fan knows who any of those guys are?

I wanted a WR last year. Plus they can still try adding someone from the FA pool. Their isn't a lot available but definitely improvements can be made for the right amount of money. Sanu, Gabriel would be somewhat better than what they have. Not a big splash like Fuller would of been but still better.

They needed help offensively and they didn't get enough. Good luck trying to beat KC if you can't score points.
