This loss is no different than Wisconsin's loss to LSU in their opener. Wisconsin obviously put forward a better showing than their professional counterparts, but the loss by Wisconsin pretty much eliminates them from winning the national championship. The loss by the Packers beyond the embarrassing aspect of it effectively ends realisitic hope of being the NFC representative. Anyone believing this team was ready to dominate and win #14 needs to realize Seattle hold the tiebreaker over us and the odds of us not having to go back there if we even make the playoffs, are not good.
Our rent a center styled roster is no match for Seattle's.
Aaron Rodgers fails to show up in games vs. great defenses. I can't think of one game in his entire career vs. a vaunted D where he tore it up other than the game for it all in Big D. The SB run he put it on Philly, ATL, not so much vs. Chicago and played his best career game vs. a good Steelers unit. Other than that game vs. Pittsbrugh is there one other game you can point to where this guy elevated his team vs. a superior defense?
I've never been big on MM. He's a fake tough. "We're going there to kick their A$$"???? We'll "play'em in a parking lot"... "we're nobody's underdog". LMAO. That guy is a phony tough. A fraud. To refuse to throw at Sherman all night? SCARED. You coach scared, Rodgers plays scared, and you look like that on national TV.
The defense is the joke I thought it'd be. I thought Seattle would hang 40 on us and they would've had we put up any kind of offensive threat to them. Why in the world would you think the D would be better under Dom? Have you seen his track record? It reads in a very well defined way. His D is instantly good and then tails off considerably as the years he gets grow longer his D's are historically terrible. We trot out guys like AJ Hawk and Brad Jones in the middle when we're draft and develop? Who has developed there in the last several years? Safety? Same question.
There is no sense just writing this off on some fantasy land belief that this Packers team is going to do something this year. Another one and done would look good and be the ceiling for this outfit. I'm really hoping they suck it up so badly that it all gets blown up and we can start fresh with a whole new staff minus MM. Sadly, the GM was extended but I can hope he'd step down and turn it over to someone who has true passion to win and accepts nothing less because the clowns in charge now are not those guys.
Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
