With his speed and tackling ability, he could of made one hell of a FS... assuming he could get it mentally down (which is a huge assumption and could be totally wrong). But just saying...

At any rate, this team is trending DOWNWARD, even by the standards of MIke's normal level of underachievement. In fact, we're entering into a downward spiral, like last year.

Glass half empty
The Packers played probably the most unispired game in years and still were a missed tackle away from having a chance to win.

Glass half full
The Packers played probably the most uninspired game in years and still were a missed tackle away from having a chance to win.

1 game out with 8 to play.
Big Boy football starts now.
Either The Packers, as a team, step up and take control of The NFC North, or some of you will get your wish and There will be a house cleaning at the end of the year.

I chose the former , but a small part of me wants to see the latter, just to see the reactions next year

NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO PANIC!

I have suspected it for a long time, but it's becoming increasingly clear to me over the past couple of seasons: deep down, Packers fans don't like Aaron Rodgers and never have. Brett Favre at his best was far more inconsistent and reckless with the ball than Rodgers has ever been, he made far more catastrophic mistakes in key situations (six interceptions in the playoffs!), yet Packer Nation revered him. Rodgers constantly gets reviled for behavior that won Favre applause and adoration. I can't count the number of times I heard Fans say that they reason they loved Fave so much was because of his unpredictability. You never knew if he was going to rise to heroic heights or utterly crash and burn. Somehow that made him "always entertaining" -- even when he torpedoed his team's chances in the playoffs for no other reason than his own ego. Yet those same fans frequently call for the benching of Aaron Rodgers, despite the fact since Rodgers entered the league, only Peyton Manning has a higher proportion of games with fourth-quarter comeback drives. Rodgers has probably been fucked over by his defense more often and in more elaborately agonizing ways than any quarterback in the modern era, yet somehow fans prefer to vent their spleen on Rodgers.

The fact is Brett Favre got by with murder because of the insane and irrational personality cult that sprang up around him. (Why, I have no idea.) Rodgers enjoys no such benefit

I spoke out against Bert's bullshit as much as anyone. But now Aaron's doing the same thing.

- HaHa CD: I've criticized him a lot this season for not making plays, He made plays in this game. Ironically he gaffed at what was probably a game winning opportunity for the defense.

IF the Packers had rushed the linebacker, then Gore would have had a different assignment and Clinton-Dix would have had a clean shot at Andrew Luck.

Clinton-Dix is having a really good season.

Fact is Moncrief was running uncovered on the previous play, and iirc, the TE was uncovered on the subsequent play. So yeah, it would have been nice, but we didn't lose this game because of Dix.

About his season I respectfully disagree, he is not really helping in coverage. The two ints are more bad plays from Luck that good plays from CD.

I agree with luigis - HaHa has been a complete non-factor this year in coverage, this was the first game he actually made an impact. Consistently seems like he's nowhere near the ball.

On offense - We were rolling with Montgomery in the backfield, and then abruptly change. Why?

Ty Montgomery was on a pitch count, that's why he disappeared. They are still worried about his health.

wpr (4h) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
