[QUOTE="net, post: 23225, member: 200"] The best thing to do at this point is to EXHALE, and realize better days are ahead. My take on this team is something that few seem to to discuss: Retooling and rebuilding. The Packers don't like to talk about it because the fans tend to lose interest when you know it. But it's as plain as the record. Lets face the first fact: 1) While not impossible, it's highly unlikely the Packers will make the playoffs. Although anything is possible in the NFC North. How would you like to be a Vikings fan today? Think the Packers have it bad? The Vikings have looked pathetic,(with all those WONDERFUL AND EXPENSIVE FREE AGENTS that everyone said would put them in the Super Bowl) as I watched both of their games. Dulpecker looks like a rookie. Losing Scott Linehan to Miami and a couple guys on the offensive line (plus Moss) have them reeling. The Bears for goodness sake, are tied with the Lions for the division lead...that's how pathetic it is. Chris Hovan ate Minnesota's linemen alive, to show you how bad it is there. 2)The defense will begin to play better as the season goes on. This is a new defense with new faces in most places. Quite honestly, they have played better than I thought at times. Roman and Collins gave up two big plays or the Packers would have won on Sunday. Roman isn't the answer at safety. 3)The offense misses Wahle and Rivera, no doubt. But only the most stupid would have argued that the Packers should have released Walker, Green, etc. to make enough room for 49 million dollars to keep two guards. I think you will see a fairly radical shift coming soon, like Tauscher to guard and Barry at tackle, perhaps Ruegemer to left guard. If you look at the numbers from Sunday, the offense did better than the Browns. Brett played better this week. Ted Thompson made the calculated decision...based on the fact that he has a five year contract...to rebuild his first year. Faced next year with a large number of veteran contracts up for renewal, look for another year of change. You will see a much stronger team(barring nasty injuries) by the end of this year. The team needs to find two, maybe three defensive linemen. Now we will see if the 'fans' will hang in there, or simply slather at the mouth about firing everybody which isn't going to do anything THIS YEAR. How about a new coach for next year with a bunch of rookies and first year players? Think they will win anymore? It's time to sit tight and ride out the storm. Better days are coming if we don't think that(figuratively) cutting pieces off our body and eating it will make your stronger. [/QUOTE]
