    Who is Mike Spofford and Vic Ketchem? When did you two play for the Packers? When did either one of you start following the Packers? Who hired you? What makes you a Packers expert? Were you two fellas friends of Mike Murphy’s that he brought in? Who the hell is Mark Murphy? He wasn’t even from Wisconsin. How did he get this job?

    The Packers should really make a move to sign Jason Babin to a 1-2 year deal. They need help at DE to create more pressure on opposing QB’s, and this guy has 5.5 sacks this season so far. It would also provide a nice complement to clay mathews blitz scheme on qbs as the double team may have to go to babin instead. Also, Babin is coming off of an 18 sack season, this guy has stuff left in the tank

    Okay, lifelong Packer fan and bleed green and gold. Here is my rant: get an athletic offensive line!!! I’m tired seeing our “franchise” running for his life and getting hit. I don’t see any of the Mannings or Brady getting hammered. Maybe a line that can run block as well. I’m tired of our O-line.
    Next, how can a PROFESSIONAL team come out flat. I’ve coached many sports at many levels and there is no reason for “being flat.” (especially if your are getting paid like they are.) Some of these game checks would pay off my mortgage that I’m working so hard to pay off (30 Yr). You can’t tell me that you come out flat.

    Anyways…go Pack go!!! Protect Aaron, defend Adrian, and RESIGN JENNINGS!!!!!!!!!

    Back in the days of Lombardi the Packers executed the sweep. Every team new we were going to run that play at least several times every game.

    Defenses practiced on trying to stop it. The opponents new the play was coming. But no matter how much preperation opposing defenses put into it, they couldn’t stop the Packer Sweep. Why?

    Because Lombardi wasn’t a “finesse” coach. He believed in a “strong”, “talented”, “quick”, “dedicated” and “committed” offensive line.

    Finesse only works for one or two seasons. Every finesse team has proven it. And now, McCarthy and the Packers are proving it once again. Zone blocking and a finesse team are sending the Packers down the tubes.

    Take a look at the league leaders. What do they all have in common? Strong attacking offensive and defensive lines.I don’t see the Packers gettig by any of the physical teams in the playoffs – throw wishful thinking out the window.

    It’s time to get to work on planning next season’s offensive and defensive lines.
