    Yeah. We need to just score. But I despise our 2 minute defense.
  2. OldSchoolSnapper
    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.
  3. OldSchoolSnapper
    We cannot have 3 drives down here that result or 3 or 6 points. This has to get punched in.
  4. OldSchoolSnapper
    This is a very stupid decision by MLF that happened to work out. I'll give him credit for the balls.
  5. OldSchoolSnapper
    Oh don't read their reddit. They are somehow saying that was a bad call.
  6. OldSchoolSnapper
    Debating between this and Avatar 3. Just too depressing considering there were SB aspirations.
  7. OldSchoolSnapper
    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.
  8. OldSchoolSnapper
    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.
  9. OldSchoolSnapper
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
  13. OldSchoolSnapper
    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.

    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.
  15. OldSchoolSnapper
    If true, I'm relieved just for his psyche, the guy has overcome enough already. Don't think we can overcome Parsons, but we can hope he's back midseason in '26, I guess.
  16. OldSchoolSnapper
    He's a good offensive coordinator playing a terrible HC and yesterday's infirmary will keep him here another season. Yay.
  17. OldSchoolSnapper
    I have to wonder how anyone can downplay the loss of Parsons, I genuinely wonder if said people watched the games or just saw highlights/dropped in. On key passing downs, there were instances where they sent 3 guys on him to just get him out of the play. If you watched almost any snap where he's 1 on 1, he was literally unblockable and even games like yesterday where he didn't have any sacks, he is still influencing the QB on nearly every snap. He is the entire reason you can get by with the scrub corners we are trotting out there. Without him those guys were roasted and they will continue to be roasted. I've never seen a player close space on a QB running to the edge like Parsons did. He ran like a wide receiver. Imagine for a second we never traded for Parsons - you really think they can overcome the loss of Wyatt, Slaton and Clark from last year's defense, at the same time? There is no way. I will agree though that when Watson went down I assumed his season was over and we were probably toast. He is very clearly the best WR we have, but he just cannot stay on the field to save his life. Maybe Belichick or Reid could scheme his way out of this. MLF definitely can't. Even if no one else had been seriously hurt and we just had Tom hobbling for a few weeks, that alone is a huge injury.

    The Bears at least did something we haven't done all year, smashed a crappy team instead of letting them hang around the entire game or worse, actually losing. I liked the Bears to win round 2 even before this disaster - just felt like the natural order - but I still thought we'd end up taking the division with them having to play SF and DET. Without Parsons, we will have problems containing Williams. He will be able to run around and buy time and beat guys to the corner. I think the 7 is a foregone conclusion. Is it a trip to Chicago or Philadelphia...I think the fork is in either way. Such a massively disappointing and depressing way to see this season unfold.
  19. OldSchoolSnapper
    And 7 is pretty much 100% a 3rd game with the Bears.
  20. OldSchoolSnapper
    Oh no. He doesn't. Soon he's going to be asking to meet and fight you at a local park.
  21. OldSchoolSnapper
    I couldn't care less about draft spot, even if we had all our picks. The only time that would ever matter is you were tanking for #1 and Peyton Manning is coming out. I am almost certain we're making the playoffs. The division isn't even out of the picture. The Bears have been winning 1-pt games all year, that is not some unstoppable force. I think they're now the favorite, but it could still be us. The title hopes are shot though. There isn't a soul on this board who, prior to trading for Parsons, if I told you we'd be down Clark, Wyatt, Kraft, Watson, Nixon and Valentine are our top 2 CBs, that we're a contender. You'd have to think Golden had played like Randy Moss if that were the case. Just a wild course of events. At 23-14, I noticed the Rams were losing and I was thinking wow, we might actually be the front runner right now. Now I'm just waiting for the season to end.
  22. OldSchoolSnapper
    I think this defense is going to get obliterated. We can say we were solid without Parsons last year, but we're worse now. Hobbs isn't close to what Stokes was last year. Clark is gone. Slaton is gone. Wyatt is gone. We have nothing along that DL right now, which was supposed to make those corners passable. It's just not going to work. We'll be bowing out in the Wild Card, probably to the Bears.
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    Dallas lol. The far more likely thing is Detroit winning out, we fall on our face and they're the 7th seed. Even that isn't likely. It's very hard for us to miss the playoffs. It's just that the playoffs are going to be depressing and lame.
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    Recency bias of what? This season? Nixon, Valentine and Hobbs have combined for 1 interception this season. Nixon grades the highest as the 28th corner per PFF. So a fringe bottom starter/nickel. Those are atrocious numbers for the pressure we generate. The safeties are decent, the corners suck. Of course you can't be great across the board, but when you spend like we did on Hobbs you better get a better result. To be clear I actually like him as a player, but we are trying to get him to be something he's not, a #1 corner. He cannot play on the outside. He doesn't have the talent.
  25. OldSchoolSnapper
    Nah. This ship is at the bottom of the sea already. If it were just Watson? I'd pray Golden wakes up and believe. Parsons? That's a deal breaker. You can't bet the house on a single guy and lose that guy. He's the same as losing Love as far as title hopes go. You can still be a winning team, but you're not winning the championship you had your eyes on. Losing Tom for the year would probably be catastrophic on its own, too, at this stage of the season.
