Green Bay Packers Need To Part Ways With Their Current Regime

Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson are doing their best to ruin the Green Bay Packers.

Anyone still think McCarthy and Thompson are doing a good job? I've never been a fan of theirs, and have made that known several times.

Seeing the Packers lose to Tampa today just set me off. The "dynamic (moronic) duo" fired the defensive coordinator last year, making him the scapegoat instead of simply looking in the mirror at themselves.

McCarthy was the reason they lost seven games by four points or less last year, and he's part of the reason they can't put teams away this year.

Thompson has made no moves to protect quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Instead over the last three years he has undercut the interior of the offensive line while adding little to no depth among the five. (But glad he kept four fullbacks to start this season.)

Special teams, one of the biggest problems last year and moreso than the defense, were not addressed. The same problems exist this year (see the Minnesota games and Tampa).

The defensive personnel is not made for a 3-4 defense, but yet Thompson insisted the players would adjust so he could get "his" guy Dom Capers. I'm sure the "adjustment period" will be the excuse he makes this offseason so he can remain stagnant again in free agency, while cutting veterans to remain cheap and young.

After all, you build through the draft for the future, right?

That's all fine and dandy, but the Packers aren't winning now, and that's not acceptable.
