Recall also that if we had been taking FGs all year instead of going for it and failing to convert, we'd be 6-5.

I wish I could be positive enough to still even consider a wild card spot.
Bit I'm still not believing that we can win more than one or two remaining games. If that many.
Joe Barry can't coach. Being at Thursdays game and seeing how wide open the Titans WRs were on almost every play doesn't give me anything positive to think about with our D.
And between Rodgers inaccurate throws and the drops doesn't give me much hope for our offense.
I hope I'm wrong.

Looking at our schedule and the way the team is actually playing I think we should be making a list of who to cheer for so we get a better draft pick. The cowboys game dealt us a huge blow to the draft position. If that would have been a loss (thanks to Dak Prescott throwing to our guys like Rodgers does lol) we would be sitting at the #4 pick in the draft right now with only the Bears and Panthers and Texans ahead of us. Side note Bears and Panthers would have the same record. But Rodgers messed that up also lol and with Dak's help the Packers won so we are sitting currently as the 312 pick with alot of work ahead of us and some hoping.  I am stuck in the middle of letting Rodgers keep playing because he has lost the motivation to play and he is a cancer in the locker room or do we hand Love the controls to see what he has for the rest of the year and either if he does good trade him or if he tanks we will have a high draft pick to get our next qb.

I don't think Rodgers has lost any motivation. I think the messed up thumb has more to do with his inaccurate throws. 
And he doesn't have the timing down with his WRs. Other than Cobb.
Doubs and Watson have been in and out with injuries, and that hasn't helped.
Sitting Rodgers now will slow his development with the WRs, IF he plays next season. 
If he is going to retire, then I'd say play Love to see what he's got.
But truth is, any thoughts of making the playoffs is over. They are in too deep of a hole to dig out

I have faith in the Packers to screw up a good earlier draft picks by winning some of these games late!


That being said, in 2006, Packers were 4-8 and looking at a top 10 pick and then screwed it up by winning the final four to go 8-8.

That lead to 13-3 the following season...

Packers draft DT Justin Harrell, RB Brandon Jackson, LB Desmond Bishop and K Mason Crosby that year...

I commend those who can root or cheer for other teams. I just can't do it. I only root for one NFL team, Green Bay Packers. Something about that whole careful what you wish for thing that halts me from doing that. 

It's GO PACK GO, or my pom-pom's stay holstered.

This isn't some "I'm a better fan than you" thing either. It's just how I roll, that is all.

It would be sweet to knock the Vikings out of the playoffs in the dome.

We are in a real mess up position with Love.  I can't see us sitting Rodgers if he deems himself healthy enough to play.  HOWEVER....how do we move forwards with Love's 5th year option when we have only seen him in preseason and coaches have seen him in practice against our Barry Defense?  I don't buy the coaches know what they got in Love based on practices.  I think the Amari Rodgers vs. Keisean Nixon punt returner fiasco or some of the terrible O line decisions this season leads me to believe that practice can be a mirage and the some players are gamers and not practice workout warriors.

I read somewhere that the 5th year option would be $19.6 million for Jordan Love. I can't imagine they do that with Aaron Rodgers still on the team. I also think Rodgers hangs it up after 2022 and that will be the crux of his wanting to play all 17 games, even if the Packers are mathematically eliminated.

Aaron has a broken thumb. Remember when he missed Watkins and Lazard wide open, and cost us the game against the Titans? 

Take a seat, Aaron. You don't run the team.
