    Exactly. The diehards will go anyway, the rest will be sold to people who don't care and relish to attend for a bit less, and a higher percentage to opposing fans. No significant number of people is going to toss aside the fact they waited 30 or 40 years to get the tickets in the first place, and throw them in trash over a bad decade. They'll sell what they don't want to soften the blow. He is wildly exaggerating the impact of the price to the average ticket holder.

    Dallas is going to make out like a bandit with the 1st they got for Micah. Bet they never imagined that was going to be a top 5 or 10 pick.

    5-7 years is not getting #91,000 a purchase opportunity. This is so comically inaccurate. They could miss the playoffs each of those 7 years and MAYBE #12,000 is getting a crack. I don't think you understand how little it moves. They send a card every year and it usually moves less than 1,000 people. If price was the determining factor like you're suggesting, that kind of movement would already be happening. It's not. Goes back to what I said earlier: people have a bad habit of underestimating how many people can afford so-called expensive things. There is a vast surplus of people more than ready to drop a few grand on Packers tickets every year.

    No it'll totally be wiped out by 2032. No wait list, we won the May trade 1000% and Jordan Morgan was not a bad pick.

    Again, the time on the waitlist will expedite mildly, not to any level that you're suggesting here. This isn't the Bucks, it's the Packers, it's a religion. Chunks of those STH haven't budged since the 1960s and it is their sole entertainment budget for the year, it's their church, their social gathering, it's the only thing in the town. There are situations that transcend supply and demand and football in Green Bay is one of those things. You claimed the list wouldn't exist in 7 years. That's just beyond ridiculous and there's no way you believe that. The majority of people that waited 30 years to get on the list aren't going to give that up because face value is $150 and the team might lose for a handful of years. They want their kids and grandkids to have the tickets. There are plenty, plenty of people willing to pay $300/game for 8 or 9 games. It really isn't that much. It's pretty well accepted when you have ST there will be bad seasons in the mix...masses of people aren't giving that privilege up over $3000 a year because the team lost.

    I don't really have an opinion on Policy as I don't fully understand what his job even is, other than he extended the two goons. Can't say I blame LaFleur for taking money, he did make the playoffs a few times. Gutekunst seems to be the biggest issue at this point. They have a roster problem, that's his job.
  7. OldSchoolSnapper
    Don't want to be negative but I do not think we will win the Super Bowl this year.
  8. OldSchoolSnapper
    We are gonna lose to the Bears by 40 and their DT is going to have a rushing TD. Johnson will do something like that.
  9. OldSchoolSnapper
    Just saying nah doesn't make something untrue. I went on the waitlist in 2014. I was about 110,000, and in that time they've added seats to the building. Those are the only years it had really moved, when they added seats. I am 91,000. I will never get off that list, my 12 year old son projects to, when he's about 65. Prolonged losing might make it 55, but it's not going to do what you're suggesting.

    People have a habit of underestimating how many people have a lot of money to spend. It's how the majority of people can be struggling but places like Disney World increase profits and people pay $1600 for one ticket at the World Cup. 10% of America is a lot of people and it's enough to sell tickets to random events. Yes the common refrain is credit cards etc. but the other side is that there are also a lot of Americans with a lot of money.

    Honestly, I think this is beyond MLF. He should have been fired because he had his time and there needs to be a changing of the guard. But this is just a very bad roster and it is beyond his limitations as a coach. I really think LaFleur would be fine if you're the Saints or something and you've got a young QB and you just want to get back to the playoffs. But my gripe was mostly game management and what he does once you're in the playoffs. This mess is on the GM. He gets the talent. Nothing LaFleur could do with this assortment would make them much better.
  12. OldSchoolSnapper
    There are plenty of people willing to pay that. A handful of years of 4-6 wins isn't going to do anything serious to that waiting list.
  13. OldSchoolSnapper
    Yeah I'm not seeing that either. It'll expedite things slightly. The wait list disappearing in 5 years is not happening if they went 10-75 in that span.

    Re: 1986 Eagles. Randall Cunningham was 72 of the 104 sacks; he started 5 games and threw 209 passed. In a 4-game stretch he was smacked 40 times.
  15. OldSchoolSnapper
    1986 Eagles and Carr's first year in Houston spring to mind. Eagles gave up 104 sacks, don't have the numbers for Houston but I remember it being a weekly thing that Carr was just getting slaughtered.

    I think most people thought the offense would carry the team. They were a fringe top 10 defense last year with Parsons. I said it a lot - I didn't quite understand where the optimism was coming from given how terrible they were without him. But I don't think anyone thought their defense was amazing, just that it would hover around average with the new additions and scheme, while they scored a bunch of points and that would be enough. They probably would have been right, especially if and when Parsons got back. But people clearly underestimated the issues on the OL. There was a lot of convincing oneself the OL would be ok this summer. I had a hard time buying it.

    Got my post card last week. Hoping that number starts shrinking faster than 1k a year if we head to the toilet for a while.
  19. OldSchoolSnapper
    Your defense can't be on the field the entire game. I don't think we're the '85 Bears or anything but I think they'd be decent enough to keep us near the top of the league if the offense had been the "near league best" that some of our own were forecasting. We have statistically the worst offense in the league. It's hard for any defense to look good when that's the case...as we give up another huge play, lol.
  20. OldSchoolSnapper
    Jets collapse really spoiled being able to say we're 0-8 without Parsons, counting immediately caving to Denver once he was hurt.
  21. OldSchoolSnapper
    Random 12 year old could have drafted OL better than Gute.
  22. OldSchoolSnapper
    Matt won't be fired during the season. There is just no way they'll face that kind of music after extending him so recently. It's after the season, if at all, and I think that's a big if.
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    Johnson is such a better runner than Lloyd or Brooks, I don't know how he isn't RB1 already, even in the small sample the other two aren't close to him.
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    Are we getting waxed at home against a winless team that lost 34-3 to Carolina last week? Yes, yes we are.
  25. OldSchoolSnapper
    Maybe LaFleur will invite Ben Johnson to split a helmet Sundae at American Family the week of the game.
