Fair and balanced. No QB is better than AR at snapping the TO signal AND getting it with .00 on the play lock. All that practice payed off.
I respect AR's immense talent at the QB position. However, that doesn't change the fact that he's a pompous douche and has been for years. His job is to listen to the coach, make plays and win football games. He gets caught up in the "I'm smarter than everybody else" game. Play within the offense superstar.
Need to be honest, especially since Week 1 is @Chicago followed by Minnesota:
This sounds like a giant cluster-f*** waiting to happen. I suspect it won’t be until week 4 or 5 until this entirely new system has some sort of collective recognizable rhythm. I don’t see this being an easy adjustment, or one the entire offense will simply execute. I also wonder what it does to AR’s 12-man opportunities.
Regardless, this certainly isn’t to say the last few years have been smooth: poor play calling, injuries, and general malaise hit the entire team hard. But at least we’ll find out right away if this new system is the real deal or not.
I kind of think Rodgers is too smart to sabotage a team by being some kind of contrarian.
Can pretty much guarantee the offense will look better in week 1 than the warm stale bag of dogsh#t we’ve been watching the last 4 years.
Viks win the off-season Superb Owl year after year, while Packers fan grips over out-of-context comments in click-bait articles.
Each year the H5 household plans their summer trip north to God's country between this Viks off-season triumph, Packers fan angst, and the time shit gets real in mid August.
Silverstein has flipped and flopped on the front office and will on the Rosgers/Lafleur relationship.
What a shock. It was taken out of context and then labeled in a way to get dumb people to click their mouse.
Woulda coulda shoulda, but Guy LaFleur needs to work on stamina and finishing games with this team. Teams that finish games are 12-4, teams that can’t seal the deal are 6-9-1. Lots of youth in 2018 that hopefully will learn from this. If they do then there’s reason for optimism.
Packers were 6-4 besides these 6 games:
— Andy Herman (@SconnieSports) June 23, 2019
Up 29-21 w/ 1:45 to go vs Min = Tie
Up 27-26 w/ 8:50 to go @ Rams = Loss
Tied 17-17 to start the 4th @ Pats = Loss
Up 24-20 w/ 8:23 left @ Seattle = Loss
Tied 17-17 w/ 5:26 left vs. Cards = Loss
Tied 14-14 to start the 4th @ Chi = Loss
If I am not mistaken all three phases of the team had a hand in those defeats.
The O could not convert 3rd down in some, the D could not get off the field in some and who can forget Mr Ty out there in La La Land.
Hammer it home MLF.

Meaningless tweet. Any fan of a losing team can say something similar. In fact, this is what every Jets fan I know has been telling me for 20 years. Not finishing games is the MO of all bad teams.
Having a bright, talented HC who is motivated to excel ought to help. The additional talent that Gutekunst has replaced bummers with over past 2 years is stellar.
This new staff will rock, as will this team. I'm fully confident in that. Starting week 1. Look out Bears, look out Queens... ditto Broncos, Eagles, Cowboys, Detroilet, Raiders, Chiefs, Chargers, Panthers, Niners, Giants, Skins...
MLF and his team will be a nice wake up call to the rest of the NFL this year. Seriously, we have not seen this level of talent assembled here in GB in nearly a decade.
(I can't believe I didn't say anything bad about Mike McPizzabox in that, but, just imply the inverse of my first sentence for my feelings on that blind squirrel who found a nut. Oh, yeah, and Ron Zook can kiss my a$$).
Nice job by Murphy and Gutekunst not to hire a dumb, untalented HC who is motivated to fail.
Any analysis of the team's repeated failure to finish under MM has to include the playoff choke in Seattle.

Gute utilizing advanced metrics and C-BFI (Coach Belly Fire Index) to pick the right man.

Yeah that’s true, that’s what I said as well. Thanks.

Disagree tho I would throw out the last 2 games. By then the wheels came off.
At Rams, at Pats, at Seattle? Most teams with losing records are not competitive by the 4th quarter. Rams made the SB. Barring the infamous kickoff return, fumble, the game is winnable in LA with a couple minutes left.
The point is the Packers were competitive with both SB teams away into the 4th quarter. Most losing teams absolutely would not be,
It's a valid point.
I think there is a difference between "being competitive with a SB team" in the middle of the regular season vs in the post season or actually in the SB. It may sound like nitpicking but I get tired of the "but they almost beat the Rams" argument when someone is trying to suggest this team was better than they actually were last year.
Any team with 12 at QB should always be competitive - even against Super Bowl teams. The Packers have been a bad team the past two seasons. Their 13-18-1 record is proof of that.
I agree Heyward. This is going to be a completely different team this season. Looks great on paper. We'll just have to see. At least the info we've gleaned thus far is encouraging. Best to be reserved and see what they do.
I'll venture, 19-0, and we will be the ones popping champagne every year... I'm sick of those '72 Fish.
Probably start off at 3-3. You'll be popping valium during film study.

I actually do not think that loss was on McCarthy at all. There were repeated clusterfuks by the players on the field that combined to lose that game.
The Packers have simply had too many dumb players.

3-3? You assuming Yosh Nijam gets hurt in the pre-season?
Whoa... if that dude goes down we’re probably 0-6. 1-5 max.

Running Lacey into the line three times while trying to take time off the clock instead of abusing a one-armed Richard Sherman was MM's main contribution.
That and keeping Dumb Dom around for way too long
Did anyone on the sidelines tell AJ Hawk that Seattle was going to fake the FG? I think everyone watching at home knew it.

The coach is ultimately responsible for the product on the field. Think a coach that took special teams more seriously likely may have ended up with a different result. Game really did alter my view of MM as a head coach.
Was MM responsible for Peppers telling Burnett to take a powder on his INT return with only Wilson to beat to the EZ and blockers leading the way?
You can go back and forth forever on who was "ultimately responsible" for that collapse. And we have. How about it was everyone's fault.
It wasn't mine. I had watched thousands of hours of tape on Seattle.... it was McPizzabox's fault. I just know it.
Nor mine, other than a premature celebration I played it perfectly.
Do they even make tape reels anymore? Asking for a friend.
If I saw this correctly, just exactly 3 weeks from today rookies report into GB Training Camp. I honestly didn't realize training camp was that close until I saw that on the NFL Network scroll last night.
For me personally, these are the lowest expectations I've had for a Packers' team in a long long time. The last time I felt this way was 2006. Now 2006 itself wasn't a particularly good year, but holy cow did things get better after that for the next 10 seasons. Here's to hoping that whatever transpires this year can lead to a 10 season span as great or greater than 2007-2016 was.

This.
MM was also chiefly responsible for the environment and accountability level he fostered and allowed in the locker room as well. Later in his regime, players from guys like DaTone Jones, Nick Perry, Jason Spriggs, Quinten Rollins, HHCD etc were allowed to grossly underperform or be chronically hurt, and have no worries about losing their spots on the team or even their starting roles despite contributing next to nothing in games.
And prior to Gutey, rogue players like Ty Montgomery and Damarius Randall were allowed to flat out disregard coaches orders and calls and nothing would happen (recall Randall's hissy fit at half time that didn't result in reduction in playing time the following game). Not to mention Bak's stories of guys being late to the plane, late to practices, and again, nothing happened to them.
Yes, individual players certainly have responsibility for their performance on the field. But when you know your HC ain't going to do shit to you if you do screw up or do what you want, that's a huge problem and you begin to understand why there was a lack of accountability. It starts and ends with the coach.

Maybe if another league has a championship game and calls it the Supper Bowl or something. That's as close as you're coming, bro.
