But you honestly don't know what you're talking about when it comes to football. "Find some offensive lineman who can actually play." R U SERIOUS?! Keep in mind man, we played the best Dline in the league last sunday. Ryan grant wasn't the second leading rusher in the NFL after week 6 for no reason. We do need some more corners that will be able to start in a year or so. Bottom line, you either are trying to not get your hopes up for next season, or you're just insane man... sorry but its gotta be, we are just tooooo talented of a team to think Brett would be better off in Tampa... HAHA TAMPA?!?! What weapons do they have?!?! Cadillac? I'd rather have Grant. Galloway?? I'd rather have Jennings (not to mention DD & Jones). They have better safety play but that IS IT! sorry to sounds so upset but the Packers are my team as well and for someone to unrealistically characterize our/my team, just not gonna stand for it.

THIS TEAM WENT THIRTEEN AND THREE. They had ONE bad crucial game. And 13 triumphs before the playoffs. They CREAMED Seattle in the division. Your post is basically proclaiming that this team was a fluke. They got outplayed in the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT WAS THE GIANTS. This is the YOUNGEST team in the NFL. It's Super Bowl or bust, but you are playing with the YOUNGEST TEAM IN THE NFL. Do you want to know what is exposed? Exposed is the year Tampa Bay creamed the Raiders in the Super Bowl. Or the time the Rams slapped he Pack in the divisional round. Losing in OVERTIME in the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP is far from exposed. If so, the Eagles were exposed 4 straight years and STILL came back hard each of those years. The next NFC Championship, will Favre get us to the big game? I don't know. But Hh is clearly the Quarterback that can GET US THERE. Unless Aaron Rodgers is the next Tom Brady, you can't trade Favre. That is sooo foolish. Favre had one of his greatest seasons, we aren't talking about Drew Bledsoe here. I would say you need to take a vacation, but this is your pattern, following this season along with this site, I must say, you've worked your way up to this point. :( Al, I’m starting to question whether you know anything about football.

The Giants President John Mara received congratulations (not middle fingers) when he left his press box after the game, and then your equipment manager retrieved the game ball for Lawrence Tynes. First class, all the way, Packers fans. Hang your heads high and enjoy looking back on the season that you never thought for one second that you would be getting back in August.

The enthusiasm from a week ago was not there at all. My wife pointed that out to me right away, we were in our seats 40 minutes prior to kickoff and she said we looked just like we did in SD prior to losing the Super Bowl. 2) There is no doubt that the Packers are no longer a cold weather team, this was also evidenced from the start. Being the youngest team in the league virtually none of the new players were ever exposed to temps like this. 3) The fact that McCarthy did not have his team practice outdoors in the cold temps probably contributed to their inability. When asked about this he stated that prior Head Coach Sherman always had his team practice inside. McCarthy should have taken note that during Sherman's last year in GB we also went 4-12. 4) This probably had no bearing on McCarthy's coaching ability, but during the past week it was announced that he was given a five year extension to his contract with double the salary he had been getting, raising it to 4 Mil a year. I always was a firm believer that all contract and wage increases should not be discussed until the season was finished. I am sure many other reasons will be factored in but after watching the Packers for almost 70 years I have developed some thoughts which are not necessarily wrong.....Unless something of great interest is made public I will not discuss the Packers anymore for this season......erdbob AJ, take note of what I wrote earlier: Final thoughts are this.

He will perform much better when he is warm. What is so wrong with dressing for the weather? If there was some sort of heater that a player could wear to keep his 'core' warm, he could perform better because he wouldn't be thinking about how cold he is. I have seen how a warm core even keeps fingers and feet warmer. Especially lean players like DB's with less body fat would benefit the most, but all would notice the improvement.

I have read your posts and visited your website on countless ocassions, but you have to take a deep breath and stop writing on your website for a while. I understand that everyone can have their own opinion about it team, player, and coach. Do yourself a favor and take a break from writing another post for a week. WE HAD A GREAT SEASON!! IT WAS A SAD WAY TO END AND WE COULD HAVE PLAYED BETTER BUT WE HAD A GREAT SEASON. Al,

They don't have the greatest game and all of a sudden there are holes every where. i wish i could get the last 4 minutes it took me to read this garbage back – the OL & starting CB’s were solid all year long.

I've been out working in weather as cold and colder than that. I know I function better at all levels if I'm warm. If they block better, Grant's running better, and we're not in OT and Brett's not trying to beat the Giants all by himself. The only time Brett has trouble is when he's trying to win the game by himself. I just wonder how much of the O-Line’s inability to block had to do with them not wearing sleeves.
