This is just someone's opinion, but Prisco at CBS has picked M# as Coach of the Year and Woodson as Defensive POY.

Man, he must be a Packer Fan. I'm not sure either would be my choice, but I do think MM will be strongly considered, and should be, he's awesome..

MM had a great run at the title until the bears game,. remember that year shermy was the guy for coy until he melted down against the jets and the world saw him freeze and he lost big time? I hope we bounce back and mm gets a shot at the title jmo

Didja notice that one of the runners-up for most disappointing player was Ahman Green? He was a great player for a few years in GB, but I'm sure glad Thompson let Sherman be the one to decide to overpay him.

Yeah .. but in all fairness ... he's been out due to injury!

Have a good one

I think thats the point though, he was injured all year, he's been injured for years running now off and on. I think TT was dead nuts right on that on. TT has far more hits than misses, thats for sure. If RW was his montor, Wolf did a hell of a job rubbing off on TT, as I think TT has done an amazing job.

His only miss was Randy Moss, and I've never been sorry he didn't come to GB actually. I'm not sure what team in the NFL has as good of a receiving group as the GB packers. We're 4 deep strong, and the 5th guy aint bad either.

Speaking of the Packers WR corps...I still think this is the unit that has to shine in the playoffs for the Packers to be successful. If they can get YAC and bust big plays, the sky is the limit for this team. I am including D. Lee in that equation as well.

They were completely neutralized if not totally useless against the Bears last Sun. That was a HUGE problem for the Packers...one of many that day of course.

Okay....so Favre was not at his best because of the effect of the extraordinary wind off the lake...but the recievers were neutralized by the defense....I thought it was an yeoman performance by the receivers---Martin's adjustment on the hillenmyer tip and Jenning's effort on the tipped ball off his helmet was the best non-catch in football history---

kidding, kidding--- I think, like #4, they will be great in the cold without the 40 mph wind gusts and this will be the difference in the game---

I'm envious of your sky box opportunity---it would be cool to do once..

Coming into this job, McCarthy had basically NO coaching experience at this level. He took what had been turned into a zero of a team and in a very short time, has taken rookies and bunch of very young guys and turned them into Super Bowl hopefuls?

At the beginning of this year, the PLAYOFFS where just wishful thinking. But now people are talking a chance at the SB? I think that alone earns McCarthy a legitimate shot at COY.

Yeah T .... I guess that WAS the whole point about Green. The injuries were coming more and more often. I would have felt a lot better if we had another RB on he orster who could have stepped in before he left, but .....

I just don't think it's fair to peg the guy as "the most disappointing player". It wasn't his fault he got old.

I would vote for Ahman Green's DEAL being the most disapponting move, however!

But ya know, he's also the same kind of player that New England has been bringing in for the past few years. 30-something year old players on the verge of retirement giving it their all for one last chance at glory.

Must be tough having to find that many 'semi-retired' players every year, huh? LOL

As a matter of fact ... if Tommy Brady didn't have Moss this year ... or Tony ROMO didn't have TO, THEY might both be in contention for "the most disappointing player of the year" award! LMAO

I was just thinking about the mentioning of Sherman for COY. I supported the guy, but I could never see that ever happening!

I mena ... considering how I heard Sherman had inheirited such a SB ready, great team! Said to be great in talent, depth and already poised for another SB run!

OK ... in all seriousness ....

When pinned-down, Sherman's attitude just plain sucked!
He made a lot of comments regarding the players that I never agreed with. He'd do a pretty good job of coaching most of the time and then fall apart when a big game was on the line. That and pretty-much allowing Favre to do whatever he wanted whenever he wanted.

And THEN after a loss ... MS always seemed to find something stupid to say ... usually blaming the players. Stuff like:
"If they weren't aware of what was at stake, then they're in the wrong profession."

In the game against the Jets that would have given us HFA, we were so banged-up BEFORE that game that I'm surprised we scored even THAT many points! Especially with the overall talent level we had (read lacked).

Sharper was out and we lost Driver early in the 2nd quarter, leaving Walker and Glenn. With seconds left to go in the first half, we closed the gap to 14-10 with Favre leading the one good drive we had in that entire game. He "tried to make something happen" and it was an INT that gave the Jets another 7 points.

And then Sherman pulled him with 14 minutes left to go, leaving the game to Doug Pederson. Favre was something like 16/33 with 172 yards, but 76 of them came from that single drive.

Sadder yet, was how after that Jets game Favre said:
"We can't play anyone, whether we're playing them at home or away, and give them an inch. We're not that good."

At least Favre didn't trash this team's chances after last week's game. THIS time were going into the playoffs with some real potential. regardless of where the game gets played.

Besides .... with the global warming and all .... we just might have a heat wave hit and HFA would mean virtually NOTHING! LOL

Have a good one
