    The Packers are actually a great example of the question: when is it time to move on to a new coaching staff?

    On one hand - you won a Super Bowl with this QB, coach, defensive coordinator.

    Same hand - you've been SO CLOSE so many times. 2 NFC Championship games, 15-1 regular season, numerous OT playoff losses (not blowouts)

    On the other hand - it's been 7 years since that Super Bowl title which may or may not have been a magical hot streak (believe they were 10-6 and not great much during the season) and your top 5 all-time (to most) QB is now 33 years old and the o-line seems to be deteriorating

    Maybe a fresh voice in the locker room would rejuvenate them and push them to another title? Or maybe it would confuse and piss them off and lead them to 8-8

    The Packers lost two of their best players early on, had a couple close calls go against them and were playing on the road against one of the best teams in the league..

    Let's not plot their demise just yet

    Exactly. Also it's game 2. No reason to panic.
     
  4. They only won that Super Bowl cuz of Rodgers and a great defense - McCarthy and Capers has nothing to do with it
     
  5. I don’t think anyone is panicking we just see the writing on the wall

    You said you've given up on this season. Coming from you, that's basically the same thing.
     
  9. Yeah I’ve personally given up on giving a shit but I still also said they’d win 10-12 games - I don’t think they are bad I just don’t think they are good enough to win a Super Bowl - I’ll give most of my attention to the Brewers stretch run and the Bucks

    One thing that should be a little concerning for Packers fans is their slow first half start two weeks in a row. Last week shut out in the first half and this week almost nothing after an opening drive TD. Granted this week has the loss of both tackles.

    I'd fire them at this point. Bring in a great coach like Doug Marrone or something.

    If Marrone doesn't fire Hackett by week 6 he will lose my grace period very quickly.

    Still like Todd Wash, Tom Coughlin, and Caldwell has redeemed himself for Bortles/Joeckel by building a solid team around the next QB -- if Caldwell makes sure we get a good QB prospect in 2018 I'm cool with him.

    Hackett was trash in Buffalo too. I can't believe he brought him with him again

    Marrone has my grace period because he is a new coach with very little background info. I call it a grace period because he hasn't proven anything to me yet either, I'm just giving him a chance to show me he can get this team to bounce back from bad games.

    one 9-7 year in Buffalo and then he dipped out of his contract. That's not enough info to have a positive or negative opinion of Marrone, really. Not good but also not nearly as bad as most of our other options. Trying to have perspective that includes the reality of, Jax having to be bottom feeders when it comes to finding new coaches.

    but it is immediately blatant that Nate Hackett has no idea how to coach a quarterback or run an offense. Bortles has regressed the entire time spent under his tutelage, and Hackett is already showing he doesn't even know how to simulate a competent deep passing attack well enough to open up the run either.

    Here's the kicker - If you are a coach and you stand by a bad coach and think he is good, you are in fact, a bad coach. Why should I trust Marrone when Marrone looks at Hackett and thinks he is a good OC? I still don't think Todd Wash is any good either. I said it before and I stand by it - The Jags need to clean house all the way to the top and leave only Hobby and DeCamillis on staff.

    Coughlin, Caldwell, and Marrone will keep enabling their own bad decisions.
