    The first real sign of who MLF is, was kicking a FG down by 8 points with in the NFC Championship, with the league MVP at the helm who'd lit the league on fire that season. It disgusted me at that time but he hadn't pissed everyone off enough yet and I had to listen to 2/3 of the fans argue it was the right call.

    Despite Jopal doing his schtick, the Packers were very clearly a contender, and many pegged them as the top contender, until Micah Parsons got hurt. Cherry-picking random bad games that every single team in the league has, doesn't change what the facts were. It was week 14 and they were positioning as a 1 seed. If that's not contending then nobody is contending. They were dominating Denver on the road with a multi-possession lead and the ball in 2nd half. Sound familiar? The NFL is a fickle league though. Running back the same roster in no way means you're good again. This is exactly why I argued they were really not the same old 7 seed, I thought they'd be worse. You get figured out, systems get stale, players regress. But the worst part is that even if Parsons had stayed healthy, Matt absolutely would have messed it up eventually with another one of these.

    Forget about Jacobs contingency. They don't have a backup running back with Jacobs being a model citizen this off-season. And when schlubs like me are pointing it out before Jacobs even got in trouble, what the hell are they doing? Letting Wilson leave for no money made no sense at the time, and less sense now. They do not have a running back. Everyone on the roster sucks.

    Just caught a clip of Tauscher and it took me back to the 2003 offensive line, which I consider the best in franchise history. They were #1 in the NFL in the combined rush yards/sacks allowed per pass play. Ahman Green ran for nearly 1,900 yards and they racked up 160 rush ypg. LT Clifton LG Wahle C Flanagan RG Rivera RT Tauscher All 5 drafted by GB, Clifton the highest pick at 44. The rest were a supplemental, a 6th, 7th and a 3rd. All except Tauscher made a Pro Bowl. Incredible roster building, and something Green Bay continued doing for YEARS - although that group was exceptional - grabbing long-tenured OL late in the draft. Gute has really struggled to replicate that practice. They have invested much earlier picks in OL that just aren't good, and have filled gaps with FA who also just aren't good. We have a 2nd round in Belton who lost his job on a bad unit. Just bad stuff. Doesn't even hit mediocre. The state of the OL is enough to have Gute fired.

    Malik Willis had a tough day. Really liked him but I wasn't buying him as a starter. Not a great team to end up with, either.

    Is there a soul on the planet, who, even in July, envisioned a scenario where MLF was hoisting a Lombardi Trophy for Green Bay at any point? If the answer is no, you shouldn't be the HC of a team investing the resources they are in Love in Parsons. It's just so incredibly frustrating as a fan right now. When expectations are tempered and there is a path forward, you can still enjoy the team. I know the Bucks aren't winning anything, but I'm at least interested in the new regime and seeing what they do with the new pieces and new coaching. The Packers are just in the worst imaginable place right now. Huge assets tied up in win-now pieces with just an overall bad roster with league-worst leadership. There's nothing fun about that.

    I am more referring to the decision being widely panned, when in reality it is a very common decision in today's game, correct or not. I believe that certain people would always favor a more conservative approach. But a lot of those criticizing it are the same ones who say Matt has no cojones, turtles, etc. That's me. So I can't turn around and say I hate the decision. I understand what he was trying to achieve - it essentially ends the game if they get 6 on that drive. He was going for the 2 possession lead, it was understandable and defensible, even if you disagree.
  8. OldSchoolSnapper
    It's a long season and we're in 2nd place in the division. On to the Jets!
  9. OldSchoolSnapper
    Policy doesn't care as long as the team is profitable as a business entity.
  10. OldSchoolSnapper
    It puts them up by 8. It's one possession. Even if the sequence unfolds as badly as possible you are down 3 with the ball and plenty of time. The benefits of scoring a touchdown on that drive far outweighed the benefit of being up by 8. Their oline is precisely why 4th and 1 is different from 4th and 6. You don't need 2.5 seconds to throw a 2 yard pass. You don't even need separation. With 6 yards, you do. It's a big difference. And if they hadn't missed their 5th PAT in a year, there's no way he takes that penalty over being up 9. I'd jump for joy for MLF were fired before 8pm. But this one seems very revisionist. It was the exact kind of step on the throat decision people constantly criticize him for not making. I think Johnson and Campbell make the exact same call. There were so many chances to salvage the game after that decision I just can't get on board with it being this alleged horrible choice.
  11. OldSchoolSnapper
    I can't believe I'm defending MLF even slightly but I thought that choice was fine. Run a 5-wide quick slant to get 2 yards. Not a QB sneak. That's a jugular decision so I will not hate him when I normally hate what a turtling goon he is. But I disagree - 3rd and 11 was the turn. That was the point everything crumbled.
  12. OldSchoolSnapper
    I've been saying it for weeks, but this team just simply did not pass the sniff test. You always want to believe when you're a fan. They were just so, so bad once Micah was out last year, and did very little to shore up those concern areas. I just did not understand where the optimism was coming from, or how they were opening the season in top 10 lists. There was way too much casually tossing aside just how bad they got. I kept hearing about the return of their other league-average starters would be a big deal - I'm sorry - Wyatt is a fine pick for building a team, he's a decent player, but the buzz would have you believe prime Warren Sapp was back in the fold. I can't remember the last time supposedly great McKinney made a play. Their TLDR is: Some really nice skill players on offense, now less without RB, zero depth nearly across the board, a piss-poor OL, a defense without any playmakers outside of the one who's hurt, and a bad ST unit.
  13. OldSchoolSnapper
    I can't believe anyone talked themselves into thinking this OL would hack it.
  14. OldSchoolSnapper
    What a waste of time and collateral Parsons was. Wonder if he'll want to play Week 10 when we're 3-6.
  15. OldSchoolSnapper
    That's exactly what's needed for this to be blown up, because average gets them paid and they are just fine with that. We are years away from contention right now.
  16. OldSchoolSnapper
    The quicksand scene in The Replacements must have been written by MLF. I've just never seen anything like him before. Just the second there's adversity, he is a lost puppy.
  17. OldSchoolSnapper
    I've never wanted a coach in any sport fired more than MLF. Everyone knew bringing him back was bad. They didn't just not fire him though. They gave this product an extension.
  18. OldSchoolSnapper
    Oh he isn't getting fired even next off-season. Maybe the one after that. And unfortunately I don't think a coach can fix this mess at this point.
  19. OldSchoolSnapper
    0-6 without Micah Parsons. Hate that I was right but this team sucks.
  20. OldSchoolSnapper
    The extension of Matt LaFleur was blatant admission that this club is happy to be the 7th seed and I think they will finally pay for that this year by being the 10th seed. And he still won't be fired.
  21. OldSchoolSnapper
    Nothing would make me happier than the firing of Matt LaFleur but going for it was fine. That's the jugular move that everyone says the Packers are afraid to take. Get a touchdown on that drive and the game is over (well for anyone other than the Packers). This "never take points off the board" stuff is the same turtling that everybody says they hate.
  22. OldSchoolSnapper
    You're allowed to throw the ball on 4th and 1. I can't believe you are defending a QB sneak behind that OL. I would think Mr. Inventive could draw up a play for 1.5 yards. Love isn't Josh Allen either. That's not even his game.
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    I personally have no problem with his choice to take the 4th and 1. It's everything after that, that was classic Matt.
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    I really hate Matt. Not because he took the penalty, but because that's what the guru came up with on 4th and 1 behind his knowingly awful OL. It's bad that I'm almost hoping for this season to faceplant on the off chance we are rid of him.
  25. OldSchoolSnapper
    The highlight of this has been Watt in the booth, I actually like him there.
