According to Cris Collinsworth.

If the locker room is in disarray, requiring players-only meetings to address lack of preparation it's not surprising that things are carrying over to the field.

If true, where are the coaches???

Apparently not preparing their team for the real games.

Bench Aaron Rodgers and it will take about two even more embarrassing games for this crowd to be eating crow. The Packers have absolutely NO chance of going anywhere with Scott Tolzien. Things would only get worse overall, but there is a small chance the play calling might get better because the coaches know Tolzien couldn't save as many plays.

Rodgers needs to be better, but he is not the main problem. The only way he needs benched for a game or so if he isn't healthy. Otherwise, the coaches need to put him in a better position to succeed and he and the other players need to execute better. A good coaching staff would fix these issues. Although to be fair, the poor receiving talent isn't helping. There's only so much a team can do with an average #2 WR and a bunch of #3 or 4 WRs and a tight end that is slower than some offensive linemen.

If a player isn't getting it done, then sit that player down. Unless he's beyond accountability, like Aaron Rodgers. Just let that guy scapegoat his second year player who's already so terrified of making a mistake that he clenches down everytime the ball comes at him.

Richard Rodgers has never proved himself to be a good tight end, and he's proving he isn't. James Jones has proved to be a decent WR but he's past his prime but is still earning his minimal salary. Janis and Abby have obviously proved nothing. Aaron Rodgers has proven himself. Something is not right, but Aaron undoubtedly has the talent to be better. The Packers at least have a CHANCE to win with Aaron Rodgers. With Scott Tolzien, they have no chance beyond maybe one game, much like the Cowboys without Romo.

Someone on the team should stand up before the media and apologize for the lousy play and call some players out that are not getting it done.
I'm getting tired of the "we will get it fixed" line after each loss.
Maybe if they WOULD fix it, it would mean something.
I want to see Mike McCarthy at s press conference call his team out, get P#%^ed off and do some screaming.
Show some emotion! Let the team know that enough is enough! Get off your lazy butts and perform on the field, or you will sit on the bench! And MAYBE even lose your job.
Someone needs to light a fire under their rear ends, before they lose this entire season.
Which a loss at Detroit will probably do.

But yes, more accountability would be a nice thing with this coaching staff. The organization is loyal to a fault.

I don't get this lack of accountability crap.

If you're waiting for a coach or player on a responsible, well managed organization to publicly ridicule a fellow teammate/coach, stop wasting your time and go searching for some purple unicorns instead. They won't nor should they.

I'm shocked with how transparent Mike McCarthy was with Davante and Lacy's ball control the last two press conferences. You want accountability? What happened to Hawk's salary and where is he now? Did Lacy get benched in the last 3 weeks? Twice in fact, including after his fumble. Why isn't JJ in on pass plays? Read between the lines, he can't figure out how to run a trustworthy route.

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Geeze Zero get it right!😋

Zero2Cool (3h) : I guess 3 games. Whatever

Zero2Cool (3h) : Bleh, that only impacts two games.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.

Mucky Tundra (4h) : Kanata, seek help! lol

beast (6h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (7h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (7h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (7h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (7h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (8h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (8h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (9h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (11h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (18h) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (19h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
