Another Season, Pissed Away Unnecessarily.· Page 6

Comparing teams of the 1960s to today is SOOO different. Back then if you had good players, you probably had them for their entire careers. Today, free agency breaks up good teams every year. HUGE difference.
And "falling short of a goal?" Every team has that goal every year. But as I said, ONLY ONE each YEAR achieves that ultimate goal!
Do I want my team to win it? YES!
But it's not like they sucked or didn't try their best!

Bragging that your team is in the playoffs 5 years in a row really means what exactly? We fell short the last 5 years just like the Cleveland Browns. Next season Cleveland and Green Bay have the same chance of winning it all when the season starts 0-0 for all teams. This isn't the olympics...no silver, bronze...just GOLD in the NFL.

Winning or losing the division was pointless this season. Some fans would whoop it up and brag about being division champions. Who cares? We won a playoff game and Minnesota didn't. Division titles are irrelevant. Getting 15 of them in a row would be totally meaningless if they all ended without a Lombardi. I celebrate the 2010 team... the '95 team... etc. Those are the winners. This outfit here has lost out in the playoffs 5 years in a row. Hasn't been back to the show. That's nothing to brag about and I can't wait to hear how it's so much better than being the Raiders, Browns, etc. Nah, they ended without a ring just like us so I don't see how it's any better being us the last 5 seasons.

It's better being us because we made it to the playoffs and lose on national tv 😊 We also get a lower draft pick and teams want our free agents. I called it before and I will say it again we are back in the late Favre years where we have a team just good enough to make the playoffs but not really good enough to win it all. I am not really disappointed we lost as i thought we were going to lose (as I did for most of the games in the 2nd half of the season) just frustrated we got that close to winning that our higher ups won't do anything to change. We will go into the season thinking we are so great and it was the injuries that cost us when it was a qb (that was a Colin Kaperdick look alike, Unstoppable one year and average qb the next) that couldn't hit the broad side of a barn and then threw all his teammates and coaches under the bus. Thats a true team leader. ( Side note Did anyone ever hear Favre or Brady do any of that?)

Well we always have next year and no outside free agents signed and drafting in betweeners to fill the needs we have.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

How pitiful Aaron Rodgers was this season as a leader. That didn't get enough play nationally or locally. That body language alone was disgraceful. I was embarrassed for him and this organization this season.

Barfarn thinks he's crossed the rubicon into illegitimacy...can't wait to see what next year brings for him but I would actually entertain letting him go just based on what an absolute dnozzle he was this season.

Honestly, part of this could be the natural decline with age.

Plus, he turned 32 in December...so he was 31 for most of the season. He lost it at 31? That's very very unlikely.

Thank god this is just the internet. If this was a Packer Party I was hosting I'd have to throw to many of you out for being stupid.

No bush league is blitzing a team all game when they have 3 starters out on the Oline, when you're up 20 points. Still can't figure out the difference can you? But nice try at a dig. Are you slow or something?

I'll even go so far as to say if BA had done it against the Bears or vikings or Seahawks or some other team you don't like you wouldn't have a problem with it. He did it to the Packers though so its bush league.

Don't worry, It's not just you. All fans do it. What's goes for one team or player or coach doesn't always go for your team or player or coach.

As for whether I am slow or not why does it matter? Would it change your argument?

There's a difference between rolling up the score and securing a win. McCarthy has pissed away more games as the Packers head coach by going conservative, unnecessarily. And he did it again Saturday night. How many times is acceptable for a fan to watch the coach do this and not call for his head?

We got further in the whole thing than we should have. Most of us knew that by week 8. I blame Ted, seems like most of you disagree and want to put it on MM.

Those that want to blame AR --- not feeling that.

I vote we spend time in the off-season starting from the top, complaint / whining-wise.

I'll start.

Look at who Ted activated for our last game to fill the roster.

Someone explain that move.

Research and advise ... I saw an article on JS online about it.

wpr (5h) : 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.
