I have noticed this too. I have mentioned a lot of things through this season, but there is somethong else going on that I can't quite place. From the outside, we can only speculate - but I would have to guess there is frustration between players and coaches.

I too think the way the opening game in SF went has a lot to do with how the season has gone. Not to say that this lone game ruined their year - but I have no doubt it played a part. I know the season isn't over, but things look pretty gloomy at this point.

1. Jennings comments on the Packers organization.
2. Arod vs Mike McCarthy on the sideline of a game.
3. Arod's frustrations in his "medical situation".
4. Comments like this...

NO, I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY QUIT IN THIS TEAM. THAT MINNESOTA GAME WAS DISTURBING THOUGH.

Fuck you, pregame bullshitters. Might as well listen to Vic Ketchman.

It did seem the D showed up today, to some degree.

Bush made some plays, although the one on Gonzales might have been a drop on purpose.

I thought Richardson looked better than Jennings.

Didn't seem like Clay did much, but I think he was double teamed much of the day, enabling Perry and Neal to get home, which they both did.

Or was it just me thinking I saw something that really wasn't what was going on.

Oh well, I think I'll leave the thinking something is going on that isn't really going on for the experts in that area.

The coaches, scouts, owner, etc... might perfer a higher pick to winning the game, but I doubt the players would drop them on purpose knowing they could be the hero of this game and get their teammates, fans and coaches behind them and because higher picks mean higher chances of losing their job to someone else.




I thought the defense looked much better with Richardson in there, he might become the starter for the rest of the season.

I doubt that many coaches, scouts and owners would prefer the loss either. Some fans who have it in their heads that losing is better than winning think that they need the high draft pick to succeed so they think everyone is of the same mindset.

I wonder what these fans would want in the following situation. The Packers are 0-15 and they are playing another 0-15 team in week 17. The loser gets the higher draft pick. Do they still root for the loss?

When you need offensive line help, the higher your pick in each round, the better. It's called a sacrifice for a greater good, but most people don't have an understanding of this concept.
