I think coaches, like quarterbacks, get too much credit and too much blame.
All I'm saying is give it some time.
Last year we feasted on two pathetic divisions and had a few close bounces go our way.
This year we've had a horrendous number of injuries and the bounces haven't gone our way.
I don't see a reason to draw firm conclusions from either extreme.
Management and fans rejoice too much when the going's good and panic too quickly when the going's rough.

"Cheesey""dhazer""Cheesey""dhazer"I won't say much other then here is Rodgers updated stats for the final 5 minutes of the game he now had chances in 12 games
57 Attempts 31 Completions
408 yards
1 TDS 4 INTS
0-6 in wins and losses
Im sure its all the defenses fault again as i have read but damn man one fricken winning drive would be nice.
Too bad Rodgers doesn't have a team to bail him out, like Favre has right now.
I know cheesey not having Robinson on the team makes the difference i see your point, Its not like we had Grant, Driver, Jennings, Martin, Lee, Jackson to throw the ball to. Oh wait yes those were his targets my bad next excuse?
Uh....i mean on DEFENSE.
The Jets were behind today, and it wasn't Favre that won the game for them at the end.
Rodgers doesn't have that luxery.
Ok i thought you were referring to how many times we had to score last year in the final 5 minutes that would be easier to compare not wouldn't it ;)

NON plain and simple we got spoiled by having what 15 out of 16 years of 500 or better records and numerous playoff appearances. But people on here do have a point how long did sherman and rhodes get as head coaches? Before they got the axe.

Sherman got 4 years.
Rhodes got 1.
I thought it was dumb when Rhodes was axed for going 8-8, and I still do.
You're exactly right -- we were spoiled and had blatantly unrealistic expectations.
I'm glad management has wised up and isn't panicking like they did with Rhodes.

I gotta go +1 to twebdonny for the whole Matrix thing.
I especially like the part where he semi-admits he has no friggin' clue what he meant by it, which, when you think about it, is extremely appropriate in the context of the allusion.
I don't know what I'm talking about either, so I am well qualified to award this plus one.
I think he's definitely onto something... in lieu of the kool-aid, take the blue pill...
Take some sunglasses off, and I'm seeing some TT's
Mister Smith.

My opinion is that Rhodes AND Sherman came in with a HUGE amount of talent on the team, and wasted it.
MM came in with the team on the down swing talent wise, and it DOES take time to build it back up.

Do you actually KNOW that stat, cause i don't.
I DO know that this is AR's first year, and it isn't fair to compare him with someone that has had 16 years expierience.
