    Not a dumb decision, but it took way too long for the packers to fire Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson. Mike McCarthy has been riding the coattails of a SB victory and Aaron Rodgers for too long. His play calling got stagnant and relied way too heavily on Aaron Rodgers making plays. Ted Thompson was an old fart who really thought his draft prowess could catapult the packers to a superbowl in the modern NFL.

    Since we are talking about firing BB, how about not getting Brady help to finish his career in NE only to see him win a SB with the bucs. And trading away Jimmy G who they were developing to replace Brady. And whatever they did to ruin Kraft Mac and Cheese Jones.
