David Bakhtiari is Ticked Off

Joseph Bonham by Joseph Bonham

We like David Bakhtiari’s honesty.

After Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy labeled the 2016 season a success, Bakhtiari was one of the players to contradict him. He has a simple word for the 2016 season: failure.

It sounds as if Bakhtiari is still frustrated. So much so, that he struggles with the words to describe his feelings.

“It’s starting to (tick) me off a little bit,” Bakhtiari said. “You’re not guaranteed another year. Keep getting close and not making it is stressful. We’ve got to collectively — we’ve got to do more. … The Green Bay Packers — I mean, the trophy is the Lombardi Trophy. We have to get back there and win it.”

That’s about it, isn’t it?

The Packers have lost in two of the last three NFC Championship games. They’ve lost in overtime in two of their last three playoff trips. The offense didn’t touch the ball either time in those losses.

Lately, it’s been pretty damn frustrating as a fan. Obviously, it’s been frustrating for at least some of the players too.

We would say talent has often been the problem. Not overall, but more of a piece here or a piece there.

What Bakhtiari seems to be suggesting is that some players don’t have the urgency necessary to win a title. That isn’t really surprising. That’s a symptom of having one of the youngest rosters in the league year after year.

The veterans and leaders on the team — of which Bakhtiari is now one of — will need to push all of these young guys if the Packers are going to achieve the desired result.

    I Agree with Bakhtiairi there is state of Urgency these young guys need to take on and Understand.There is no more excuses and this comes from the Coaching Staff also.The Packers Coaches Need to get it out of these players…

      Yea…hardly the #1 problem on this team. Of all their problems, it might rank 84th.

      But you are absolutely correct, Upper Management, coordinators, coaches, should instill the sense of urgency, sense of importance.

      If the young players don’t have a sense of urgency, it’s kind of understandable when the message from Murphy, Ted, and Fat Mike is that the season was a success. How about raise the bar of expectation to your younger players. overall, most players seem to want it more than the 3 stooges.

      I hate to keep repeating myself, but this team is broken, and the powers to be have been, and are currently gliding through the twilight years to retirement. Living off of past success, and the arm of Aaron Rodgers.

      But who know’s, maybe a rookie draft class will vault us to the Super Bowl, and maybe, i’ll win Powerball.

    A guy that gets it, instead of all the snot-nosed, suck-asses who scold everybody about being spoiled and preach to whoever will listen how lucky we are because the Packers make the tournament every year.

    The name of the place is Titletown, not Madetheplayoffstown.

    Asshats.

      Haha, another “successful season” in Madetheplayoffstown. Sounds about right…. Fuck you MM, and your overgrown playground.

    Mr. Bakhtiari better watch his mouth.

    You do NOT contradict your head coach, especially not in the media, not on this team. Didn’t these players learn anything from Mr. Sitton?

    So you want to be an outlaw, you want to speak your mind, do your own thinking? Better check yourself David, and know your role. The Packers have plenty of depth to fill your spot son, don’t think they won’t show you the door.

    Well, you know, making the playoffs every year for young guys making peanuts results in an additional income windfall. They be gettin’ paid yo, so why show any sense of urgency? Cam Newton shying away from that fumble in the Superbowl was a window into how this generation thinks, not simply an indictment of Cam Newton himself. Eddie Lacy making “china food” a priority is more evidence of where their priorities are. It isn’t only the coach who is deluded in defining what success means.

      Well, if the young players deem getting into the playoffs for extra cash, success in this league, i guess then they are right up to par with the expectations of the 3 stooges.

      Cam Newton not going all in for that football, defined him, and him alone. He said he didn’t want to risk injury….lol. So i guess being down 6 points with 4 minutes left to go in the Super Bowl, isn’t worth risking a sprain ankle. He’s a pussy, there is no other way to put it. I wouldn’t be surprised if his team mates lost faith in him over that. That was an epic failure of being a competitor. I wouldn’t indict that move as being a symptom of a newer generation. But that’s just me, i seriously couldn’t stand that man-child, even before that happened.
