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

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 was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

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.
