Am I understanding this correctly.... you thought when GB exited the playoffs from 2011- 2019 the problems were on offense? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special teams undoubtedly played a role, as did defense in places. But, when you fail to put up points down the stretch, I think that's cause for concern. Losses to NFC West opponents in the playoffs standout to me during that stretch. JMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMHO When did GB fail to put up points? What teams/ division GB lost to in the playoffs should dictate positional drafting??? That last sentence seems largely irrelevant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That last sentence seems largely irrelevant I was speaking to their losses to the 49ers, Seahawks, and cardinals during those years that you stated. Specifically they struggled to score in those games. Nothing divisional specific was my intention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who remembers the pre-Favre days, or was alive for it seems to understand that it could happen again. It's almost like a weird social experiment. I may be misremembering but wasn’t Don Majkowski before Favre and he was pretty good for a bit I seem to recall, maybe five years or so……… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pf9 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I hope he is now. The Packers have have had more losses in two months this year than over an 18-week span last year. It's not even November yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the problem. They should have devoted at least a two to receiver a couple years ago. Then they could have actually gotten a starting lineman this year in round 2. Maybe earlier if they don't get all cute with building the bestest defense ever by taking an ILB round one. Right now, I would give up a couple picks for a DC though.

Nabbs4u Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) That's the problem in a nutshell though in GB. Having a FO who doesn't believe they need to spend 1st rd picks on WR's because over the past 3 Decades "both" elite QB's have turned water into wine with drafted 2nd-5th rounders instead. That said. Drafting 1st rd WR is a crapshoot at best, regardless of recent WR success the past 5-10 years. Signing a FA, trading for a Stud #1 is a better and more reliable option. Problem is GB doesn't believe in doing that either! Edited October 31, 2022 by Nabbs4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggie. Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Drafting for need gets you Sam Bowie instead of Michael Jordan. Draft BPA, sign FA's to fill needs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone's opinion is they want to jump start a rebuild to get out of it faster, fair enough. But the tone of the 'replace Rodgers' brigade is that he's simply not good enough anymore and the team needs to win more immediately. There's unstated arrogance in the opinion that GB deserves a better QB than the current Aaron Rodgers, who would still walk in as the starter for most teams in the league, when you have fanbases rooting for Baker Mayfield, Andy Dalton, and Justin Fields. That's gonna rub people the wrong way. Don't even bother. These guys are delusional enough to think Jordan Love would actually be an improvement.
