MM also said they fell short of their goal. Watch his presser, he discussed a video they made for camp that had a countdown to the Super Bowl. Mike McCarthy made it clear that the goal each year is the SB. Saying you've had success, doesn't mean the organization isn't diligently pursuing the ultimate goal.

As for Dom comments, again, watch the presser. He dodged the question initially, then came back to it. He said he hasn't gotten to his staff evaluations yet, so why would he throw Dom under the bus?

Mark Murphy needs to interject himself into this fiasco.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Understood on the PC thing but is it really PC in this case? History shows it's more likely to be what he truly thinks than PC.

We all know he's not going to throw Dom or anyone other than reporters with logical questions under the bus. He was asking why anyone would question that this was a successful season because many are questioning it and he needs the narrative on him doing a wonderful job. So, when he makes excuses for Dom and praises him that's what he wants for himself. He wants people to say his team was so shorthanded and look what he did. When he shouts down the reality his narrative becomes the reality for some.

The Head Coach saying he's a highly successful coach. Not good.
The Head Coach saying the season was successful. Bad.

Fans should see the season as successful, absolutely. The staff and players --- I would like to see the hungry in their tone when saying "we didn't win the ring, back to the grind" type of things.

Some think winning the Super Bowl is easy as signing free agents, they are wrong. Winning the Super Bowl is insanely difficult and you have to be RELENTLESS to win it. It seems like the staff is ho-hum with their defeat where I think they should be pissed off. Maybe they are and just hiding it?

We don't know much about the injuries (Adams '15, I assume Randall in '16 and many other examples) or the good or bad (Sitton) behind closed doors. Nor do we see the hours of practice or work in the weight room.

I'm not trying to be a Green 'n Gold apologist, just saying I think there are indications of higher expectations even if people aren't called out publicly or booted as quickly as fans would like.

Dom returning is an affront to Packers nation. Ted returning is also an affront. The buddy club remains intact. Don't ya just love all this precious continuity that leads to playoff failure year in and year out? I know I do.

Cutting Whitehead and Jeremy Ross means what? We'll cut fringe roster players? Big deal. That is not anything at all. This team is anemic when it comes to understanding intangibles. This org craves the continuity that has created complacency. Some here act like the fact Mike McCarthy said the goal is the SB means we have the right people here to do it and you can point to actions that justify the statement. Neither are true. Every team has the goal of winning the Super Bowl. I have the goal of living to see tomorrow. It's implied. If Ted can't feel the dearth of momentum this club has for 2017 and does his usual Maytag repairman act, it's just unconscionable.

I'll be the loudest cheerleader IF something big and needed happens this off season. Until then, I'll continue speaking to glaring issues that have been present for years that some are finally beginning to see.

Fan Shout
beast (18m) : 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 (19m) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
Zero2Cool (29m) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
bboystyle (41m) : 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 (50m) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
Zero2Cool (1h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
beast (1h) : 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 (1h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
Zero2Cool (2h) : I see what you did there Mucky
Zero2Cool (2h) : dammit. 3:25pm
Zero2Cool (2h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
Mucky Tundra (2h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
Mucky Tundra (2h) : Yeah baby!
Zero2Cool (2h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
Zero2Cool (3h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
beast (3h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
Zero2Cool (4h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
Zero2Cool (4h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
packerfanoutwest (5h) : ok I stand corrected
Zero2Cool (5h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
Zero2Cool (5h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
beast (5h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
beast (5h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
Zero2Cool (5h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
beast (5h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
beast (5h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
beast (5h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
Zero2Cool (5h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
Zero2Cool (5h) : I literally just said it.
packerfanoutwest (5h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't
Zero2Cool (5h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
Zero2Cool (5h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.
packerfanoutwest (5h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what
Zero2Cool (5h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.
packerfanoutwest (5h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in
packerfanoutwest (5h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker
packerfanoutwest (5h) : if bucs win out they win their division
beast (5h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us
packerfanoutwest (5h) : falcons are already ahead of us
beast (6h) : Packers will get in
beast (6h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen
packerfanoutwest (6h) : they still are in the playoffs
packerfanoutwest (6h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7
Zero2Cool (7h) : We can say it. We don't play.
Mucky Tundra (9h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints
Mucky Tundra (9h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games
Mucky Tundra (9h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.
buckeyepackfan (9h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.
Mucky Tundra (18h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan
beast (19h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings
