Vic asks some good questions

Are the Packers fans tired of winning? Because winning doesn't seem to make them very happy anymore.

Currently 1st in the NFC, and lots of complaining.

"Ask Vic" will publish on M-W-F through the football season.Eric from Hudson, WIGreen Bay is handing out huge contracts to Ted's guys and drafting poorly now. Would you give that kind of extension to an almost 30-year-old tackle who's starting to show some wear? The writing is on the wall. I'm concerned.The year-by-year breakdown of how the deal is capped isn't fully known yet, since it was a weekend event. I'll know by Wednesday and I'll comment on the structure then. At first [...]

Tired of winning? No, kind of spoiled as I see it.
The Packers should have won more Super Bowls. Sometimes it was the team messing up, sometimes refs messing up.

I love seeing “my” team win, and never will get tired of it.
I think some of the younger fans think that winning anything short of a super bowl isn’t enough. We have had 2 great QBs, and are used to winning.
Me, I lived through the 70s and 80s and realize winning isn’t so automatic. So I’m enjoying the winning while we still have it.

I think Packers fans recognize the way the team is not winning will not suffice in the playoffs. And I think when fans see the same mistakes happening in each game, they probably think "I'm just a fan and I see this, why can't the coaches see this and correct it?". Which I think that line of thinking underestimates just how hard the game of football truly is. And I think because we've been fortunate to have such a long string of regular season success that we feel it is not difficult.

I also think we have as a society grown impatient. If we plant a seed, we expect to turn around in 30 seconds and see a plant or flower.

This is a red herring.

I think all Packer fans want a team and coaching staff which is able to meaningfully compete for a Super Bowl. That means not just getting to the playoffs, it means having a legitimate shot.

I think we would rather be a wild card team with the capability to stay on the field with anyone versus a soft division winning team.

Of course we want to win, but we want to think we can win it all.

I am happy as a fan. Got to enjoy every game with two HOF QBs back to back.

I am not tired of winning and recognize it is hard to be the best team. I just find it hard not to feel we should have a few more Super Bowl titles in the Favre & Rodgers era. I have a friend who is a Lions fan and one who is a Browns fan. I recognize how lucky I am for the past almost 3 decades.

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Not sure what to make of the NFC South so far this season (outside of the Panthers being a dumpster fire)

Mucky Tundra (11h) : of course I say that and then they overturn that play that put them on the 49ers 2 yard line

Mucky Tundra (11h) : *without

Mucky Tundra (11h) : Even with Nacua and Kupp out, Rams looking fiesty on offense

Martha Careful (11h) : Tim Boyle is playing for the Dolphins

Martha Careful (11h) : I love seeing Dallas lose

Zero2Cool (18h) : Malik to start. Love inactive. Per report. Let's go!!

buckeyepackfan (18h) : I think J-10VE will be inactive, a little twist that could be put in is run a wildcat with Wicks at qb. Have him as emergency qb if needed.

Zero2Cool (21-Sep) : I think that's how it works.

Zero2Cool (21-Sep) : I'd go 3 QB regardless this game.

Zero2Cool (21-Sep) : Clifford was elevated, not activated. He doesn't play, it doesn't count.

hardrocker950 (21-Sep) : If Clifford is active, not likely to see Jordan play this weekend

Mucky Tundra (21-Sep) : QB Sean Clifford and CB Robert Rochell elevated from the PS for the Titans game

Zero2Cool (20-Sep) : Love questionable. Morgan is out. Valentine is doubtful

Martha Careful (20-Sep) : Rodgers and Lazard off to a very strong start

Zero2Cool (19-Sep) : Josh Jacobs. Limited.

Zero2Cool (19-Sep) : Can't find anything on Jacobs :(

wpr (19-Sep) : Do you know if they gave Jacobs an extra day off? I hope so.

Zero2Cool (19-Sep) : WR Jayden Reed (calf) and G Elgton Jenkins (illness/glute) returned after sitting out Wednesday.

Zero2Cool (19-Sep) : Packers are in pads and so is Jordan Love. Second straight day of practice for QB1.

bboystyle (18-Sep) : If Love comes back, we win in a blow out

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Jordan Love just spoke with reporters and said he’s giving himself the week but hopeful to play Sunday against the Titans.

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Practicing is Jordan Love!

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Packers are signing WR Cornelius Johnson to the Practice Squad per sources. Johnson was a 7th round pick this year.

Zero2Cool (17-Sep) : Packers placed RB MarShawn Lloyd on injured reserve.

Zero2Cool (16-Sep) : Rams won’t have Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua when they host the Packers in Week 5.

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : Or is that the Rusty Red Rifle because of his age?

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : The Red Rifle Returns!

Zero2Cool (16-Sep) : Panthers are benching former No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young and starting veteran Andy Dalton beginning this week.

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : bears still have slim chance here

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : and there's another one!

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : oh crap macbob has the Texans K and he keeps hitting these long FGs

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Hope the Texans beat the brakes off the Bears

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : LaFleur: “I asked Malik why he didn’t throw it on that third down and he told me Josh threw up on the ball.”

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : i was wondering why it was just you, me, beast and macbob by the end

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Yeah it was weird today for some reason

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Oh my, marvin harrison jr might be as good as he was billed out to be

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : and none of the chats on my phone are showing up on the desktop chat

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : weird, i was on my phone for chat during the game but now on my desktop I look at chat and there's tons of chats i didn't see on my phone

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Oh yeah, for sure. That's just not fair thoguh.

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Zero, what I meant was that surely a tech and IT genius such as yourself would find a way to change the pick

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Well, I mean, I know I did, but might not have waited for it to register and went into Chat. Oh well

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Or so I thought I did. lol

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : I had Colts for few days to throw everyone off. At 11am or so, I changed it to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : You know if you didn't say anything you probably could have changed it and no one would have noticed ;)

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Vikings over the 49ers, Bucs over the Lions
