    When are the Packers going to fire TT and McCarthy? I hear Holmgren is looking for a new GM/couch job! He had a pretty good run the last time he was in GB.

    Leave it to the Packers to be the first team to lose to the Bucs. Thompson and McCarthy both have to go.

    That sounds like what us Vikings fans have been saying about our team all these years. Then we got Favre. Everything is better now.

    when are the green bay packers going to start playing football again? we are a team that has become extremely complacent and totally predictable. It seems to be the same plays over and over again. We run when there is long yardage, the offensive line seems non existent at times. Poor Mr. Rogers has been sacked so many times, maybe he should wear burlap. Whats the answer Mr Coach and Mr. Manager????? We should not be a less than mediocre team. Changes must be made immediately or we will look forward to a failing season. The excuse "we just didn't play well" doesn't fly anymore. That is just too, too obvious. Lets begin to play well!!
