Hitting a couple points here: The Packers corners suck. It was a known problem before the season. It was everyone's concern before the Parsons trade. We have been masquerading Nixon as a CB1. He is a journeyman type that, sure, can play some ball, but he's a nickel starter that can thrive in the slot. We are trying to make him Jaire, and he's not. That's been passable with Parsons rushing. It was immediately exposed and will continue to be. Hobbs is possibly the worst move of Gute's career. The Chiefs will be OK. They are in that inevitable downturn that every star QB faces. Brady did, Rodgers did. They'll have to retool, Kelce is done, but Mahomes will do what the greats do and reshape his game a bit. And I think it's time to put the "spoiled fan" stuff to bed. You can look at gross total and wins craft the narrative you like, but I think you'd be very hard pressed to find a team that's won 7 MVPs at QB, played in 9 NFC Championships in that tenure...and walked out with 2 trophies. That's a brutal track record. They amounted to the same Super Bowl record as Ben freaking Roethlisberger. I'm the first to point out that's not the be-all, end-all, but that is some truly God-awful luck. Of course yeah, it's a lot better than being the Browns. But there is no denying that this state has had its heart absolutely ripped out consistently for most of 30 years. Putting some of those shortcoming under the microscope makes it all that much worse. They have lost in some truly gut wrenching ways, and today adds to the lore.

Just a horrible day to be a Packers fan. Can't think of a worse day during the regular season. Brutal. This will be a bitterly cold and dark Monday.

I genuinely hope we just flame out and miss the whole thing. I'm dead inside.

Not untrue, but they were drastically better with Watson, both today, and when he came back overall this season. There is zero chance whatsoever this team goes anywhere without Micah though. The goose is cooked. Just an absolutely catastrophic course of events tonight for this team and fan base. Could not have been any worse. And of course he didn't break his collarbone. He had to tear his ACL to put next year in jeopardy and raise questions as to whether or not he'll be the same guy.

I was pretty down on this team prior to that trade. I thought they were borderline playoff qualifier. Did very little to get better. I figured they'd be competitive and fun enough to watch, but not a real threat. Now take away Wyatt, Kraft, Watson, Tom? I'd have said they're 4-13.

The future of football, and we're halfway there, is playing to go 10-7 so that your key guys are available in January. Every sport has followed this trajectory. We lose this game without injuries and we're fine. But now the whole thing is donezo. Teams won't ignore that. I legit thought this team had a punchers chance even at 7 with those guys playing. That was likely traveling to Chicago round 1. That's winnable. Now I couldn't care less.

Asking a lot of the guy who signed Banks and Hobbs.

Mahomes isn't as dependent on burst and agility as an edge whose game is essentially reliant on those things. He's entering the stage of his career where he has to change how he's plays a bit, but he could still be really good for another 10 years. Parsons likely had a few great years left at best. He will spend 1 of those rehabbing an injury he's not likely to come back the same from. Today is catastrophic in every sense. There's no way around it. The rest of this year is lost and you just hope they salvage next year.

That's a great point lol. Guess we lost out on a backup LT that would get piledrived for 3 years.

The Bucks, Packers and Badgers are done for at least 3 years. With the Brewers you can either give up because the league is broken, or appreciate that they win games ridiculously consistently in a league where they should be going 40-122, and just have a fun summer.

It was more like 5 minutes. I've never seen anything like that before outside of Rodgers getting hurt which happened much earlier in the season before you started to believe.

Not gonna lie, this was looking every bit the statement game you were looking for until everything went classic Wisconsin sports. Road, hostile, substantial lead. Those taking the copium will point out the flaws of the team, but this was as good of a chance as we've had at the Super Bowl since winning it. Just an absolutely soul crushing afternoon. Guess I'll go to Avatar 3 next Saturday or something. This absolutely sucks.

The flop this team was heading for a month ago looked like it might at least get him canned. The second-worst part about today is that it buys him at least another year. Just glanced at Reddit to see people saying we should lose the last 4 to get a better draft pick. They must not realize how we got Micah... We are toast. Next year is a sitting duck season. Matt will get fired and we get to watch Micah do a Yelich impression for a bit. What a mess. I was literally thinking that we were a contender as Love was dropping back for that throw that ended Watson's season. I won't blame them, they took the chance everyone's been clamoring for, but of course since we're Wisconsin and not Boston this is the result. Whatever.

Yeah no. It's never the same as a playoff loss. But this is arguably the worst day of regular season Packers football of my life.

Merry Christmas everyone!

All the same. Playoffs are absolutely pointless. I'd rather lose out and miss them, focus on skiing. This is up there with one of the worst days of my life as a Packers fan. Super Bowl XXXII, Seattle NFCG, 4th and 26, and this. Getting too old to be this invested. Can't stomach things going up in smoke in December with a non contact injury to a guy we mortgaged the future on.

Yeah our season is over. I don't think I've ever experienced anything like that before. 23-14 with the ball, looking like this was nearly locked down. 5 minutes later we have thrown a pick, 2 of our best 5 player are on IR and the season is over.

MLF throwing up a completely idiotic prayer to the spaghetti monster.

Scoring is up across the board but it was hard to argue with the stats. Just on eye test I would have hesitated to call them elite, but they were solid. Without Parsons you're going to see this very bad group of CBs get exposed.

Life's been sucked out of me completely.

To be fair they were getting waxed with him in the game. But that is a dagger for anything this team had hopes of doing.

What a terrible sport this is. Seriously. I'm done. I won't watch another game this year.

And the season and beyond is over.

We're toast. We had zip as far as pressure today. The parallels with 2010 continue, we are not going to be a top seed, and every loss feels like a game we let get away.

You have to catch that. Come on man.
