I find it humorous to read people's posts where they accuse me of saying things I have never said or accusing me of opinions that are totally wrong. Either these guy's are not reading my posts or they can't read very well.
The Packers have made a huge mistake in bringing the inexperienced and incompetent Mike Sherman to Green Bay. I put the blame on Bob Harlan for allowing the senile Ron Wolf make that decision.
If you take a glance at the 2000 Packer's roster you will find that Sherman inherited plenty of talent that underachieved under Ray Rhodes. After a very respectable 12-4 2001 season with a 7-1 record at Lambeau, it became evident to the most casual of football observers, that the Packers could not match up to the top teams in the NFL. The 45-17 beating by the St. Louis Rams in the NFC Divisional Playoffs confirmed that fact.
In 2002 the Packers again had a respectable regular season record at 12-4 with a 8-0 record at Lambeau. But they still could not match up to the best teams in the NFL. 2002 season facts:
1. Wk 12 tied for the lead in the NFC with Tampa Bay at 8-2, the Packers lose to the Buc's 21-7 in one of the worst coaching jobs by Mike Sherman in NFL history.
2. Wk 17 where a win gives the Packers # 1 seed in the NFC and HFA throughout the Playoffs. Instead they get a beating 42-17 by the NY Jets.
3. Packers suffer first playoff loss at Lambeau in history of franchise 27-7 to the Atlanta Falcons in another poorly coached game by Mike Sherman.
Over the past 4 seasons the Packers have a respectable 44-20 regular season record but still do not match up to the big teams in the NFL. Nothing has changed that in the past 3 seasons under Mike Sherman since it became evident in the 2001 Division Playoff defeat at the hands of the St. Louis Rams 45-17.
Coupled with the Packers 2-4 playoff record under Mike Sherman, including 2 at Lambeau, their defense has dwindled over the past 3 seasons. In 2001 the Packer's defense gave up 266 pts which rated them 3rd in the NFC and 5th in the NFL. In 2004 the Packer's defense gave up 380 pts rating them 11th in the NFC and 23rd in the NFL and was the worst defense in Packer history.
Over the past 2 seasons the Packers HFA has dwindled with a 9-7 record at Lambeau. The bottom line is that Sherman has been a poor GM and equally as poor as a HC. The Packers record has been inflated over the past 3 seasons with a 14-4 record vs NFC north teams which is one of the weakest divisions in the NFL.
To set the record straight I have never said the Packers wouldn't win the NFC North Division . What I have said in the past and will say again now, the Packers will NEVER win a NFC Championship under Mike Sherman as HC in Geen Bay. Sherman is not capable of getting the job done in Green Bay.
Look for the Packers to go 8-8 (plus or minus 1) in 2005. Mike Sherman will not be resigned for 2006.
