None of this is just Capers or just the players, or just Thompson or just MM. We haven't won a Super Bowl for all sorts of reasons. I don't want to relive 2014 all over again, but we were stacked AGAIN to win another one. So this notion that Ted can't build a team is garbage. He has, multiple times, in multiple cities. Dom Capers had a plan in place that completely stifled and dominated for 55 minutes and then a really good player gets talked into giving himself up by another really good and future HOF'er instead of returning the nail in the coffin INT into scoring range before giving himself up when nobody was around him. MM did call some good plays against a very good defense and Jordy, a great WR for us stumbled out of a break and Rodgers a great QB put it just off his finger tips leading to yet another FG rather than TD in the endzone. Our ultimate field general threw an INT in the endzone when he thought he had a free play.
There are other years and other issues, but that game was a microcosm of what has happened over the years in a 5 minute span. For whatever reason, players weren't responding to Dom this year. Same mistakes we've seen for a while. Unfortunately in this league it's easier to get rid of a coach to try and reach the players than get rid of all the players not responding to the coach. Depending on the new guy coming in, I hope players are held more accountable, all of them. Put jobs on the line.
