But in this sport, unlike the other 3 major ones, you only play 16 games. Getting into the post season has a tighter margin for error. You cannot have a horrible first half and rally to just get in. You can actually do that in baseball, basketball, and hockey. Failure to go get that one player can prove fatal. And he just rarely ever did that. Being conservative is one thing but you just cannot home grow everything.His worst move ( and he admitted it later ) was his failure to sign EITHER of Marco Rivera or Mike Wahle in 2005. Instead of drafting a top guard or trading to get one, he fills the holes with William Whitaker and Adrian Klemm, two of the biggest, cheapest stiffs that ever donned a Packer uniform. This not only put his HOF QB under duress all year but it resulted in serious season ending injuries to Ahman Green and Najeh Davenport. The team was not going to win a SB but they lost a lot of close games which still could have meant a playoff spot. In 2003 and 2004 our rushing attack was the best in football. And he destroyed it. No wonder Favre wanted to get back at him.</blockquote>
