[QUOTE="sschind, post: 907273, member: 10247"] A lot of speculation in that article and lots of 2020 hindsight as well. As far as your bullet points: -Promised trade: I'll wait for confirmation from Rodgers before I comment. Gute has denied it. He could be lying but only Aaron can refute it and he could lie about it too. -Only 1 offensive player: And yet they were in the NFCC game 2 years in a row with a historic offense last year. Yes due in large part to Rodgers but he is not the only offensive star. There are no guarantees a first round WR would have gotten them past the Bucs. And yes I understand that Love didn't help either but when you draft in April you aren't planning for one game the following February. -Bucs draft: The Bucs were playing catch up when they signed Brady. The Packers had been to the NFCC game the year before. Not saying you don't improve but the methods are a little different between teams trying to catch up and teams trying to stay on top. Its kind of the same way you often see teams that dominate in the first half of a game look flat in the second. If what you are doing is working what do you change, while the other team makes changes. Did you see what the Bucs did this offseason. They kept every starter from the SB team and drafted a replacement for Brady. Why didn't they trade for a TE or sign a running back and head case WR. Because they already had a wining team, that's why. They did sign a few outside free agents but they had the money to do it with. Something the Packers might have done had their QB had been willing to restructure his contract to give more cap space like Brady did. -King: No one they could have signed after that game would have helped. Gute was supposed to know King would be that bad. I guess his crystal ball was broken. -FG on 4th: yeah bad call -Not telling Rodgers: Maybe not smart but would he have went for it had Rodgers gotten the ball closer? I think he has said the result of the third down play played a huge factor in his decision to kick the FG had Rodgers ran and gotten to the 1 or 2 maybe MLF would have gone for it on 4th. -Rodgers vs love: I don't see what Rodgers draft status has to do with it unless he is pissed they didn't trade up to get him as well and only took him after he fell. Of course he says he was cool with the pick after having time to think about it so either that's a non factor in all this or he was lying about that and it still bothers him. -McCarthy: yup, agree on that one but its been 2 full seasons since they did move on.
