Seriously what are you talking about?Yoop wrote: ↑13 Dec 2022 11:46never said ya don't need quality OL play, but imo ya don't need pro bowl talent there to be a good offense, first thing Ted did was dump the high priced guards and draft replacements, and add a couple receivers for Favre, and then another 3 in the next few years for Rodgers, cause thats what it takes to win in this league, building a great defense is a act in futility, minus a ton of top 15 picks it's doubtful it will ever be top 10, and if it should beat the odds and become that good, it has such a short shelf life it rarely lives up to that investment for long, soooooo, IMHO you do your do diligence and draft both sides of the ball, but with a preference for players that put points on the score board, Ted new that, then since 2015 he neglected to do that, and we've been losing PO games ever since.Labrev wrote: ↑13 Dec 2022 09:37Which you complained we were doing with bad OL play, now inexplicably act like OL is not on par with skills for importance because they... don't score points.
Weird that your own post history agrees with what I'm saying, until you randomly decide you want to die on the hill of a totally different opinion.
for the last 3 to 4 years this defense has had all star talent, hows that worked out?
You are trying to make connections of "winning" Ted prioritizing WR but not Oline which is completely false. He prioritized both. You mention he took Greg Jennings when he also took Daryn Colledge in the SAME ROUND in that draft.
Wide Receivers taken top 2 rounds: (5) - Murphy, Jennings, Nelson, Adams, Cobb
Oline taken top 2 rounds: (4) - Colledge, Bulaga, Sherrod, Spriggs
You are also trying to make a connection of Ted focusing on offense when his SB team was largely won due to contributions of his prioritization of defense in the 2009 NFL Draft.
You finally try to make a connection that Ted suddenly "pivoted" in 2015 and lost PO games ever since. When in reality the amount of seasons Ted Thompson had of winning playoff records is 1 season.
I get it. You're grasping. But nothing you are grasping at makes any sense. The Packers have always had a top offense and that top offense has given us the same results year after year. We also have had some seasons with great defenses. One season it was good enough. The others the rest of the team let us down. But this pigeon holing to all our problems being linked to lack of attention at the WR position is so wrong. There were many, many variables why we lost.
WR (including the best in the game) dropped balls. Rodgers missed reads. Rodgers missed throws. Lewis and Jones fumbled. The STs blundered. The defense broke down. The refs had a questionable call. There are so many damn variables that are in play.
I feel horrible I got sucked in this stupid argument because this response won't change anything. Your "7 drops in the PO's" will grow to 9 next week when you get even more heated on this topic.
