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.

I agree he was chip blocked and that he made a great play but he had Luck in his arms and Luck escaped. So he didn't finish the sack and that could have won the game.
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.

Mucky Tundra (3h) : Rude!

beast (4h) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (7h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (10h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (11h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.
