Well see what were all about on Sunday. There are obviously enough things to play for (our season, for starters) but if we lose, that will be 3 years in a row we lost to the Cowpokes and 2 in a row at Lambeau, a place they had never won prior to last year. That in alone will be enough to turn my stomach, should we not get the victory.

He built two top teams (Raiders, Bucs) thru the draft, but got us the likes of: Brooks, Bennett, Chumura, Dotson, Levins, Newsome, Henderson, Freeman, Flannigan, Verba, and Sharper. Think Antonio makes the HOF maybe, but I have my doubts about the rest.He came in and fired Infante and traded for Holmgren. Like TT Sherman/McCarthyOnly made (in my opinion) three trades of significance, the whopper Favre, (bet the franchise on that one-then), Rossum, and Ahman Green. The rest of his trades were people out for draft choices, like TT does with draft choices, up and down.The real coup was, again, the bank for REGGIE. He then had his coach, leader on O, and leader on D. The rest was FAs with most on the D side and REGGIEs help.I think in all fairness TT thought he got his leader on O, built the WRs, couldnt get the RB (Grant/Jackson, ugh) and gave MM OGs to develop because he had a C and OTs covered. Didnt happen quick enough and there is the mess.On D, maybe we should not have gone 3-4 because of the time element to properly employ, so we thought bringing in Capers would short circuit the learning process. Well, we know how that has turned out, kinda like the OL. But I think the D is ahead of the O even with the O stats. At least from a personnel standpoint (sans Kampy).I guess the point is that Wolf did not go hog wild on FAs until his 4th year and that was because he had had such bad luck in the draft compared to his Raider years.Its been told to me that TT is a believer in the Wolf way and it seems thats what hes trying. Keep in mind, we have no leader on D, not that one is out there available. Certainly not one with the impact of what happened in 93, and it still took another two years. The only difference was that Favre/White made us instant winners along with Holmgren. Report this comment Reply LarryTex says: November 12, 2009 at 4:40 pm One last thought that might help. You take Favre and White off that 93 team and youve got Sharpe, Ruettgers, Winters, Brown, Paup, and Butler. We have better talent today then we did then im a thinkin. And we know what an A-hole Sharpe turned out to be. (Remember the mini hold out before the playoffs)? Report this comment Reply packer_bob says: November 12, 2009 at 4:55 pm Larry,
