  1. Just no way we're going to win this game choking 4x inside the 20. Just can't do that. Pathetic.
  2. This team just cannot get out of its own way.
  3. Honestly anything better than immediately giving up a touchdown, I'll take it.
  4. Not catching INTs is really hurting us. It's a good play, but we gotta get one of those eventually.
  5. He's playing the rest of the game. He's no longer the back up. He's going to have to throw the ball eventually. Good point about the wind though, that's probably correct.
  6. I get it and I can't say it's an awful decision but 45 seconds and a timeout is definitely an opportunity.
  7. Feels like a massive win not surrendering the 3 right back. Feels like a massive loss having 6 points.
  8. Would have rather forced the Bears to burn more timeouts and drive 96 yards. That FG is near worthless and now they will probably start a drive from the 40. Ironically if they kicked the first time down, that one would have been actually meaningful.
  9. That drive was shot on that first down call. Absolutely hate that. Then the obvious run out of shotgun followed by an obvious passing down. Just bad playcalling the whole sequence.
  10. Really hate kicking the FG here. It just doesn't help.
  11. Yeah. We need to just score. But I despise our 2 minute defense.
  12. If we go into Chicago without Parsons and Love knocked out of the game and win, it'll be enough for me to be happy with however the season ends considering the circumstances. I'm salivating over just the chance I can throw it in every Bears fan's face I know.
  13. We cannot have 3 drives down here that result or 3 or 6 points. This has to get punched in.
  14. This is a very stupid decision by MLF that happened to work out. I'll give him credit for the balls.
  15. Oh don't read their reddit. They are somehow saying that was a bad call.
  16. Debating between this and Avatar 3. Just too depressing considering there were SB aspirations.
  17. It's become less about the actual throw and more diagnosing the look at the LOS, finding the guy that will be able to run for those 5 extra yards. That's why they entertained Rivers. There are a million guys who can throw.
  18. Is it? I guess sometimes it is, yeah. I think the best CBs have a knack for baiting and catching the ball, which is a skill. Prior to playing the Bears, we didn't have a CB interception this year. That's gotta be pretty bad.
  19. Ehhh, that's about half true. Fumbles yes, have always been about 95% random event. There is basically no evidence that teams have been able to repeat their ability to recover fumbles. Interceptions much less so. That is a much more skill-based play. There are certainly a good number of lucky INTs every year, but some QBs are a lot more prone to them than others. You can influence the frequency of poor decisions and throws with pressure. What's more, I would say the biggest thing plaguing the Packers in that regard is that they simply have not caught the opportunities. When you have a Charles Woodson or Darren Sharper, it's hard to say the interceptions are lucky when they are consistently grabbing them out of the air.
  20. How is that strange? It was unequivocally better. It's the same unit minus Slaton, Clark, Wyatt and Stokes, who would be the best corner on this year's team. It's not even close. Last year's defense was a top 10 defense. They slowed down Philly more than any other team in the playoffs. Love playing 2023 stretch run is the only remote chance this team has. There will be at least one playoff game where they need to score 40. I don't see it happening - he might play that well, but they are going to get repeatedly scorched. Edit: NVM, I see you meant they were better than this year's team with Micah. Which, ehhh, the total stats may suggest that, but last year's team tended to pad numbers and take care of bad teams, but they never did anything in a big game. Micah was every bit the difference maker he was billed to be. When they needed pressure, he got it.
  21. The Lions are probably going to be eliminated by the time they play the Bears especially considering we swept them. They just aren't very good anymore. They missed the window and now the core is old or the remnants of injuries. The wind is completely out of my sails, but the North championship game is this weekend.
  22. Taking this further, youth football has only minimally changed relative to the 180s other sports have done. Sure, the very, very best kids are in all kinds of super camps all year, but even a mediocre soccer, baseball or basketball player is doing year-round club. Not really a thing in football. You play in the fall, and that's kind of it. There's lifting, but you have autonomy to do other sports. Very typical nowadays for an 11-year-old to have to decide between soccer or baseball because of indoor/spring ball, to decide if basketball has to go in favor of wrestling, etc. I'm not saying it's good or bad, but you are probably losing some kids because their fall is taken up by some other club they're already specializing in, plus concussions, injury risk etc.
  23. I'd settle for choking the game away and no one being hurt. Before yesterday I thought we were one of a handful of teams that all had about a 15% chance of winning the Super Bowl. It was unlikely we would, but we were in the mix with some lucky breaks. Today feels very similar to the Monday after an overtime playoff loss. There has been a lot of chatter about that play, myself included. But the morning after, it's hard to fault going to your best WR downfield, 1 on 1, for a knockout blow. The play was there, too. A yard or so more and that's a pass Watson can catch. Just awful luck, yet again.
  24. ACL isn't what it used to be. He's young. With a responsible and patient rehab, he should still have some years in him. The thing with Parsons is that he was never going to age super great with the reliance on fast twitch. Not that he'd suck, but he's unlikely to be an elite level guy past 30 when those skills fall off. He doesn't have the size of someone like Peppers to lean on either. I assumed when his contract expired the Packers wouldn't retain him, it would be obvious he was declining, but that's obviously just my speculation. There are always freak exceptions. It hurts because this is simply a year we were good enough to do it, and we've lost it, again.
