[QUOTE="PackerDNA, post: 666253, member: 9965"] Some thoughts, some of which may cause a s**t storm, but what the hell, it's slow, right? - seeing injuries come up as an excuse for last season's disappointment. No sale here. Some have pointed out that our injury situation really wasn't all that bad compared to some other teams. This team's on field performance flat out sucked for the majority of the season. The players couldn't get out of their own way, and the coaches had no answers. This off season is beginning to sound like last off season- we should be on our way to the Super Bowl. I drank the kool aid then, I'm a little more cautious this time. Word of caution; the vast majority of players and coaches who'll be counted on to get to Houston.....[I]are the same ones as last year. -[/I]the loss of Nelson. It was huge, but beyond not having Jordy and his talents on the field, it exposed the teams WR's. There was a lot of talk here and elsewhere about the Packers WR group being among the best, if not the best, in the NFL. But without Jordy, they were exposed as a mediocre group with no balance. Where was the speed? Where were the outside and deep threats? Cobb is a very good #2 WR, but expect him to take on the role of a do it all #1, and he falls short. The rest of the group? Inexperienced and unproven. The most effective guy last year was an over the hill James Jones, and he wasn't even resigned. What if Jordy isn't Jordy or gets hurt again? It's pretty much the same group coming back, so I wouldn't expect much better without Nelson again. -the NFC title game of '14 is getting some mention again. "We should have won! We gave it away with that collapse of biblical proportions in the last 5 minutes!" Maybe a look at the other side of the coin is in order. The Seahawks offensively were historically bad for most of the game; what, 2 yards total offence in the first one and a half quarters? But here's the thing- [B][I]FIVE FREAKIN' TURNOVERS!!! You have an opponent who sleep walks for most of the game and turns the ball over 5 times, and you still lose?!?! [/I][/B] I would submit that maybe we weren't really 'all that', and that the right team went to the Super Bowl.
