Bad Bob strikes again: Pack needs to be like Donkeys

Draft and develop isn't the problem- when seemingly all of you top picks are being lost to injury every season, you're drafting and not developing. I've said this many times- ever season ending injury has a severe consequence not necessarily in lost physical ability, but more importantly lost practice and game reps. Bulaga, Sherrod, Perry, Neal, Worthy, Hayward, even Cobb to a certain degree- all top picks, all missing a ton if games and practices between them.

They can't draft and develop like this. Sometimes injuries force your hand. I believe at this point they have. They can no longer afford to sit and hope. They need durable veteran help.

In addition to all of the injuries, our 2 highest drafted defensive players, Hawk & Raji played no where near where their draft position would indicate they should. 

There is no such thing as durable. I'm sure Denver thought Von Miller was a durable vet since he had started 92 games in a row until he tore an ACL.  I bet the Packers thought Aaron Rodgers was durable until he broke his collar bone.  Yep there are lots of durable guys until they get injured.

Adding more veteran presence on D has less to do with durability and more to do with putting an experienced backup on the field vs a rookie backup who is still learning the D.

I'm still mad GB had a chance to sign a durable FA like Steven Jackson but opted to develop an injury risk draft pick like Eddy Lacy. 

 

 

Satori:

Capers used Woodson more like Polamalu, moving him all over , while Collins speed was more of an asset on the back-end.

That is my take as well.

 

As a pass defender - Collins > Polamalu

At LoS, run stopping, rushing - Polamalu > Collins

 

Overall, my guess Polamalu > Collins

 

but maybe not by much, especially had Collins had a full career.

That is way to extreme an example to justify the overall philosophy of near-avoiding picking up FA's.

 

You are talking a RB with more tread loss on his wheels than a car that's turned its odometer 3 times versus a back fresh out of college.

Draft position indicates how players should play.

disagree.

 

French fry consumption slightly surpasses BFI as a gold standard for player evaluation. 

 

 

 

 

If the Packers were more like the broncos, we'd be 2-5 in the Super Bowl

 

Only the donkeys have lost more Super Bowls than the ****ingvikings

 

 

 

Apparently we're supposed to be more like the seahawks:

We're going to have to pick up the pace on PED suspensions if we hope to catch the league- leading seattle team

 

 

 

 

One of the short comings for the packers was how little they got from their 2012 draft. That is big since according to the packers players make their biggest jump from their rookie to sophomore year.

Packers are like the Broncos. Great QB, very good skill players, shaky O-line and mediocre defense.

GB ain't losing 43-8 to Seattle on a nuetral field, Seattle's field, or home field.

Strawberry Fields?

GB won the last time they played on Seattle's field.

Comments from JSONLINE article about ticket prices going up again this year:

 

and 2010 was just a fluke super bowl

 

#6 seed....on the road the entire playoffs. Then in the Super Bowl beat the #1 defense & hung 31 points on them.

 

Yes, just a fluke...::

Yes, it was a fluke. Mark Murphy said as much when he handed the Lombardi back to Goodell.

TT has done a very good job keeping the Packers in the mix.   Currently they are ranked in the 8th spot at 16-1 to go to the 2015 Super Bowl.  The Packers are right up there with all the other heavy weights in the NFL. 

Seven teams have better odds?  SF SEA NE DEN KC PHI NO?

Bovada 2015 odds posted last night:

Seattle Seahawks: 9/2
San Francisco 49ers: 15/2
Denver Broncos: 8/1
New England Patriots: 14/1
Green Bay Packers: 16/1
New Orleans Saints: 18/1
Atlanta Falcons: 25/1
Carolina Panthers: 25/1
Chicago Bears: 25/1
Cincinnati Bengals: 25/1

Pretty glaring how sad the AFC is when Denver is the odds on favorite immediately following getting dump trucked

Denver has the easiest road back to the Super Bowl.  Much easier than the team that destroyed them does.

Some big bets on GB.  Down to 14/1 now.

Denver has a much tougher schedule next year.  They play the NFC West, Colts, Bengals, and Patriots.
