[QUOTE="PackerfaninCarolina, post: 831890, member: 9364"] I think this is fair, I also tend to notice there's kind of a polarization here between those who love offensive football and those who love defensive slugfests. Take last year for example, you had people like me who loved the Rams and Chiefs 54-51 shootout because of all the big plays and fireworks that went off in that game. And you had some who didn't like it and complained about there being too much offense. And then you had the polar opposite in the Superbowl with a pretty ugly one there. It was a little reminiscent of Superbowl V where a lot of experts thought Unitas and Morton were going to blow the scoreboard up in that game and it ended up being a major slop fest. And one can't deny that some of our offensive juggernaut teams in the past like 2007 and 2011 were exciting to watch. I still consider that season opener against the Saints when Rodgers and Brees were shredding the defenses to be the best season opener on prime time to be the best I ever saw as a Packer fan. I don't think anyone can really fault the fans who have nostalgia for those days and want to see the team return to that kind of excitement. On the flipside, I do think the defense will have to step it up and perhaps Gute will have gotten right what Thompson failed to in his defensive draft picks. If so, there will be good reason to be excited about things. I don't think anyone here truly thinks they can run our front office, but I don't think there's anything wrong with them not warming up to all the picks until they see them on the field. I certainly don't think I could have done Mike Sherman's job better than he did when he was here, but he obviously got a lot wrong as GM when he was here and got replaced because of it. Gute's held to the same standard so ... Let the chips fall where they may. [/QUOTE]
