Good: I have no real reason to complain about the OL for this game. (I am sure this is a one game moratorium only, but hey, as others have said in various threads, it ain't on them this time.
Mental toughness.
Or lack thereof.
This a team that wishes to honor Bart Starr? How about they start by trying to emulate his mental toughness?
Bah.
Hey, Foster, you lurking by any chance? How about you call your friend the Commandant and tell him to invite the Packers (sans coaching staff) to work out with those DIs of your Corps for the rest of the season.
Screw this worrying about injury shit. This team should have their game consoles and iPads and everything banned from the locker room and on training camp 2-a-days Lombardi style until further notice.
I no longer care if they get to the playoffs or not this year. I don't want a team that spends half the time or 25% of the time or 10% of its time constipated because it stores its head up its ass. I want ...
Oh, fuck what I want. I ain't going to get it until, as the politicians say, there is a regime change.
On second thought, forget the DIs. The Marines have more important things to do than waste their time on a bunch of spoiled rich kids and their company enablers. Put every starter on IR for the year, and tell them they have to earn a roster spot next year. Yes, including Mr. Munn. Their prior position as starters gets them a training camp invite next year. And that's all.
Tell every coach and player personnel guy up to and including Ted Thompson that their jobs are safe ... until five p.m. on January 3rd, 2015.
They want to coach/scout/draft/trades/sign for the Green and Gold longer than that? Prove that you can build and maintain a team that doesn't have nouns or verbs like "finesse," "trick," "fool," etc. in their vocabulary.I don't care if they win another game. I don't care if the players are all third-stringers, street free agents, and replacement players. If the Green Bay Packers don't define toughness by the end of the next Viking game, they don't rate any more chances. None of them.
Period.
This team should not be allowed to wear green and gold right now. They should be required to wear a new alternative uniform.
One that is all hot pink with numbers in black glitter.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
