The key to winning in the NFL is to constantly reinvent yourself, just like companies need to do in the every day world. If you don't, you do become stagnant, and people move past you.
We are at that point in GB. The team is stagnant, and McCarthy is complacent, because his won/lost record is excellent. The problem is, he's had the horses to do much much better.
The Patriots are constantly reinventing themselves, and creating new ways to generate offense, and play defense. They do it by recycling players near the end of their career, who are looking for a Super Bowl ring. They have a good shot at getting one in New England.
In GB, it's like you guys are saying, a carbon copy of the year before. Then there's injuries. Something is obviously wrong in our conditioning. You don't remain one of the worst year after year, unless there's a problem. But, what works out well for the coaches is that they point at those injuries as being the reason they ended up failing, and get another pass until next year, year after year.
The "family thing" in GB is great. But, it's still a business. Players leave for more money, year after year. But none of our coaches are even being interviewed for a step up with another team? Why? McCarthy, loyal as he is, keeps the coaches, because they're "family."
According to most experts, if you go at it properly, you can rebuild a defense in less than 3 years. The problem is, if it isn't done soon, we're going to lose Nelson and Rodgers, and it won't make one bit of difference.
