Vic asks some good questions

Are the Packers fans tired of winning? Because winning doesn't seem to make them very happy anymore.

Currently 1st in the NFC, and lots of complaining.

"Ask Vic" will publish on M-W-F through the football season.Eric from Hudson, WIGreen Bay is handing out huge contracts to Ted's guys and drafting poorly now. Would you give that kind of extension to an almost 30-year-old tackle who's starting to show some wear? The writing is on the wall. I'm concerned.The year-by-year breakdown of how the deal is capped isn't fully known yet, since it was a weekend event. I'll know by Wednesday and I'll comment on the structure then. At first [...]

Tired of winning? No, kind of spoiled as I see it.
The Packers should have won more Super Bowls. Sometimes it was the team messing up, sometimes refs messing up.

I love seeing “my” team win, and never will get tired of it.
I think some of the younger fans think that winning anything short of a super bowl isn’t enough. We have had 2 great QBs, and are used to winning.
Me, I lived through the 70s and 80s and realize winning isn’t so automatic. So I’m enjoying the winning while we still have it.

I think Packers fans recognize the way the team is not winning will not suffice in the playoffs. And I think when fans see the same mistakes happening in each game, they probably think "I'm just a fan and I see this, why can't the coaches see this and correct it?". Which I think that line of thinking underestimates just how hard the game of football truly is. And I think because we've been fortunate to have such a long string of regular season success that we feel it is not difficult.

I also think we have as a society grown impatient. If we plant a seed, we expect to turn around in 30 seconds and see a plant or flower.

This is a red herring.

I think all Packer fans want a team and coaching staff which is able to meaningfully compete for a Super Bowl. That means not just getting to the playoffs, it means having a legitimate shot.

I think we would rather be a wild card team with the capability to stay on the field with anyone versus a soft division winning team.

Of course we want to win, but we want to think we can win it all.

I am happy as a fan. Got to enjoy every game with two HOF QBs back to back.

I am not tired of winning and recognize it is hard to be the best team. I just find it hard not to feel we should have a few more Super Bowl titles in the Favre & Rodgers era. I have a friend who is a Lions fan and one who is a Browns fan. I recognize how lucky I am for the past almost 3 decades.

dfosterf (20h) : tell her I reckon
dfosterf (20h) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t
Zero2Cool (22h) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.
dfosterf (23h) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (23h) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him
dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious

dfosterf (26-Aug) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension
