1- Why doesn't Aaron Rodgers ever get a chance to end games like this, it usually always the opposing team that ends up scoring with leaving twenty seconds left.

2- Why can't we ever upset teams like these? We always end up losing to an upset team once in a while, but it never happens for us to win an upset game.

3- Would the Packers have played as good if Aaron Rodgers was in?

4- Why did Mike McCarthy go 3 and out with 3 passes right after Patriots scored and we still had the lead?

*** 5 *** - Why in the hell is all our team injured??? Specially all the key players !!!

Grant - Finley - Burnett - Barnett - Poppinga - Jenkins - Chillar etc...

6- Can we use our 1st pick this year to draft a special teams KR / PR please for the love of god?

7- Am I the only one that wonders about these questions?

It seems strange, but I think Mike McCarthy put much more effort into the game plane because he couldn't rely on Rodgers' proven ability. mm's aggressiveness fueled his offense during the first half. Had he stayed aggressive the whole game (going for it on 4th & goal) the Packers would have won the game.

Oooooohhh pick me for number 6.... We can more than likely spend a 6th round pick this year on a guy like Brandon Hogan out of WV... he'll probably run a sub 4.4 and is a dynamite returner who will inevitably work as a coverage guy as well... GB never really takes hard looks at these guys or keeps them on the team because Ted usually has so much talent that these guys end up getting cut in favor of guys that hold up better in defense as well

7- No... it's natural because it always feels like we should be at the top of the mountain yet never are so these questions enter the thought process... Someday we will concentrate on spending some money on proven O-Lineman and be a complete juggernaut on offense

8- why do out STs continue to fail at the worst times?

8.5- why is Solcom still our ST coordinator

9. what is it with this team and inconsistancy? from Mike McCarthy to the O-line, pass-rush, streaks of the dropsies, ??? :cussing:

10.Why dont we play this agressive every week? when Mike McCarthy and Capers are agressive we dominate.

11. BJ Raji abused a good interior. (not a ? but it had to be said)

10. a. More to the point, why doesn't this team sticks with what WORKS? Why will they be aggressive for a quarter or two and then completely back off? I feel like they'd rather be clever than risk being predictable, so they cut off their nose to spite their face.

1. Dunno. Perhaps its because he's from California.
2. I think you'll find that this is true for almost every team. Come from behind in last minutes is good theater, but my guess is that it actually happens quite seldom in reality. Even for the P*ytons and Tomt*ms.
3. Better. Flynn had a very good game, IMO, but a healthy Rodgers is much better.
4. No clue. This pissed me off royally at the time, as did the next posession's play calling.
5. Anyone see a stat? I think injuries are up all over this year.
6. No, no, no, and a thousand times no. OL OL OL.
7. No. (Though I do think #6 is worried about much too much.)

I agree with Wade on #6. If Ted Thompson were to waste a first-round pick on a returner instead of an offensive lineman, he would deserve summary firing.

Slightly off topic, when I think of all the players the Packers have on IR this year, coupled with the number of scrubs who made significant contributions this year, I have to think the Packers are going to lead the league again next year in waived players picked up by other teams. Though from what I've seen, almost all of the players the Packers waived this year were subsequently waived by the teams who picked them up.

You might be right Nonstopdrivel, another question I have been asking is.. what about Players like Zombo and Bishop.. Will they're emergence and in my opinion, very good overall performances from them this year, effect the starters they have replaced next year? Gotta wonder if this will factor into what Ted Thompson decides to do next year with our LB group and other players like the two I mentioned.

beast (41m) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (46m) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (57m) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (58m) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (1h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (1h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (1h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (2h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

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

beast (3h) : 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 (5h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (12h) : 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 (13h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (19h) : 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 (20h) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (21h) : 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

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky
