    I am not afraid to play the Bears. It's not unique to the Bears. I am just of the mindset that if you plopped the Packers into a playoff game against the Jets they would find a way to make it close. Reason goes out the window with the Packers. I have absolutely no faith in them. I have already mapped out how the Packers season ends: they'll block a game-winning field goal attempt but recover it and fumble, giving the Bears a fresh set and a second kick.

    Playoff loss won't sting me. I am already numb after last night. Honestly it would have been worse. Had they closed it out 16-6 nobody would be overly concerned about playing the Bears, now everyone will expect to lose the game. The Packers would have blown it either way, so at least they prepped us for it. Not entirely sure they will even get there though. Baltimore has plenty to play for and Minnesota would love to take us out. And their internal psyche can't possibly be great at the moment.

    Holmgren? His second to last season was losing the Super Bowl. He left after the 98 season that ended in a controversial playoff loss in SF. I don't think he fits. If anything, they should have given him the GM job that he wanted rather than letting Mike Sherman have it just a short time later. I think LaFleur sucks but I think he will be back. The injuries will earn a mulligan, even though imo they shouldn't, because they still lost a bunch of ridiculous of games prior to then. They can still extend him and then fire him a year later.

    I'm legitimately convinced that anyone claiming the way the Packers lose games is not unusual is either on their payroll or playing a character of some kind. This is not normal, other teams fans around the league consistently use the Packers as a choking punchline. It's not a spoiled fan base or entitlement. It has become their league wide identity.

    Ok guy. The NFL #7 seed is the new NBA #8 seed. I'm glad being the last team in the playoffs is some kind of achievement for you. Some of us would like to actually get to the Super Bowl again, it's been 16 years, it wasn't yesterday. We have the reached the excuse-making plateau when people are still saying we should remember the 80s, a period 40-45 years ago, as a reason to be grateful for consistently choking away games with a 90+% win probability. We just lost our division championship on a game that reached 99.1% win. And you are giving it the "Aw shucks" treatment. That's not entitlement.

    The expectation this time would be a loss which is always easier. But I have no doubt they would string everyone along, play 3 good quarters and then have a FG blocked and returned for a touchdown to lose. I dunno. Something. I would genuinely prefer just an all-out collapse to 9-7-1, no playoffs, whimper finish. They aren't going to the Super Bowl and another nap of a playoff game isn't something I need.

    Couldn't say it any better. Merry Christmas. Time to check out of this dumpster fire of a season. Really should have just gone to Avatar.

    Irrational take. Both the offense and defense are in the top 10 in the league. They are losing these games in astounding ways that often stem directly from coaching. I can have it both ways because the vacancies are vacant because the teams are awful. The good teams don't typically fire their coach. You are saying that Cleveland, Arizona and Tennessee will be more attractive options than Green Bay. You know deep down that is baloney. And I think you also know there would a line around the block to coach in Green Bay. I think you are the one not making any sense. They're completely mediocre but both guys should be extended because they can't be any better. There's a rational argument to keep LaFleur and Gute. That they couldn't possibly get someone better isn't it. So the Browns, Titans or Cardinals would be more attractive to the top candidate than the Packers? Maybe it's time to just admit you exaggerated something? There's a rational argument to not fire Matt LaFleur. The argument that they couldn't possibly get a good candidate to replace him is is anything but rational.

    Bears still are the most likely opponent. The only thing that changes is the venue.
  10. OldSchoolSnapper
    Ah there it is. The old "spoiled fan base" cliche. Spare me. Look around the league at the upcoming vacancies. It's very rare that a 10 or 11 win team has a vacancy. Not worth discussing if you genuinely think GB wouldn't be one of the top jobs out there. You are usually talking about a revolving door for the Jets or Raiders. They would have interested parties up the wazoo. Just a completely unrealistic thing to say. That goes for the GM as well.
  11. OldSchoolSnapper
    14 teams make the playoffs now. The floor required to make a change shouldn't be being a league doormat. You don't need to be the Raiders or Jets to see there is a functional problem here. I am so sick this mentality that we should be indentured servants to the Packers because they give us a loss in the Wild Card or divisional consistently. Why this fanbase is content with mediocrity is just astounding to me. I think it's just a way to cope with pretending these chokes are normal and everyone has them. They don't.
  12. OldSchoolSnapper
    I was literally going to make this post 😂

    I think this is so off. They've sucked. They had a 4-win season in 2005. They had a 6 win season with Hundley and another crappy year McCarthy got fired. It's such a cliche that they've been this amazing team and we should all be on our knees. As Adam has pointed out, this would be 4x in a row missing the playoffs without expansion. And the idea that a top coach wouldn't be interested? That is laughable. It's Green Bay and there are some great players on the roster. You have a top 5 player on your DL playing edge and a plenty serviceable QB. It would arguably be the most attractive opening in the league. I don't know where your confidence in extensions comes from either. If it were a slam dunk, he would have done it already. He went out of his way to say neither would be extended this season and there had to be results. There aren't going to be positive results. Their injuries last week don't excuse away all the debacles prior to last week, and they don't excuse what took place last night either.

    This feels more like 2006 when the field is weak and the Bears very well could have a run, even if their 06 team was better than this one, which it absolutely was, Grossman not withstanding. Don't really see a team the Bears can't beat, I think the 1 seed on the road will be difficult for them, but 3-7 are all going to be teams that can succumb to them, especially getting the Rams at home, which makes them a lot more susceptible. Hat tip to the Bears, who have been very consistent in their miraculous wins even if the Packers are an embarrassing laughing stock. I don't want anything to do with the playoffs. I am genuinely hoping for a merciful skid to end the year and let Detroit have a go at it. GB had their chances and tripped over their feet last night, in Dallas, in Cleveland, and at home against the Panthers. Not exactly losing to the league's finest. They are a crappy team and deserve to be 7th or 8th.

    How many have they lost after their in-game probability moves past 90%? I would legitimately say more than anyone in the league. I hope they lose the final 2 and miss the playoffs, I really do. That would spare another playoff choke, likely in Chicago, I'm absolutely sick of this team and its transcendent ability to pull off these kinds of pathetic, humiliating losses. Of their 5.5 losses this season, Cleveland, Chicago, Carolina and Dallas were catastrophic failures that never should have happened. This team should have cleared the 1 seed by at least 2 games. That's not bias, nobody loses like they do with such incredible consistency.

    I personally think LaFleur is a really good OC who just doesn't make the leap to HC. There are guys like that all over the league and he was lucky enough to have Aaron who made it virtually impossible for a new coach to get fired. Bigger issue is that I truly don't think it matters anymore. I think we could have Tom Landry, Bill Parcells and Bill Walsh calling the shots here and we would choke because it's just our thing.
  17. OldSchoolSnapper
    0-5 in the red zone. Incredible.
  18. OldSchoolSnapper
    And like I alluded to, this somehow transcends who is in the front office or in the field. This has 100% become their identity.
  19. OldSchoolSnapper
    There was nothing wrong with them not kicking the FG early. You can't just tack 3 points onto the score and say see, they would have won! The whole benefit of those calls is that even if you don't convert you force a long drive with more plays and increase the odds of it stalling it or a mistake like the high snap that happened. I don't like LaFleur. I'm totally fine if he's canned. But this game isn't the example for that.
  20. OldSchoolSnapper
    The Packers: Fumbled inside the 5 Failed to recover an onside kick Botched a snap/handoff whatever that final play was Immediately surrendered 3 scores on their final 3 defensive possessions with almost no resistance Were ahead 16-6 with the Bears facing a 3rd and 20 on which they were sacked Any bad playcall doesn't even scratch the surface as to why this game was lost. This team is straight ass. Worst of all, it's in their DNA. It doesn't matter who the coach is or who the QB is. They will find a way.
  21. OldSchoolSnapper
    I couldn't care any less. Nobody that does what we just watched is doing anything in the playoffs.
  22. OldSchoolSnapper
    I'm done for the year. They're an absolute embarrassment. Someone should lose their job tonight. Probably Bisaccia.
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    Yet another epic choke job to join a long list of them. I'm done. God awful team. Burn it down.
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    Willis's first really bad play
  25. OldSchoolSnapper
    LaFleur certainly didn't lose this game.
