Remember CJ Stroud saying he'd rather have Eli's career than Rodgers's? How does he feel about Andy Dalton's?
-
This game is over. I still think Denver has a chance next week though.
-
Must be nice to have a good kicker.
-
Houston has no chance. 8 points may as well be 80.
-
8 turnovers, and 2 fumbles recovered by the fumbling team.
-
Cannot believe the position Houston is in after 4 picks, this early in the game.

Because it's completely inconsequential to the larger point. 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th seed, it doesn't matter, 11-6 still makes the playoffs almost every single year. It's actually wild they would have gone 12-5 and not made the playoffs. The other part of this is that the format is the format so who cares? We'd be celebrating our 3rd straight division title if we played in the NFC South. (Edit: this is assuming a 10-6-1 finish if we try to win the last game of the year) I'm sure the Vikings at 14-3 would have missed the playoffs under the 1936 format when Albany won the title going 12-0 or something. Who cares. There are so many better ways of illustrating that Matt LaFleur is a bad coach. Why bother with one this lame that is so easy to argue against. Kicking a field goal down by 8 when your QB is league MVP. Blowing a 21-6 lead in the 4th quarter. Challenging obviously correct calls because no one knows quite why. Seemingly having 1 or 0 timeouts left EVERY time you have a game-winning drive. Leading a team that hasn't been able to execute a fair catch PR without a hold. I could go on all day.

Are you serious with this? He was removed from the game for another player. Whatever label you want to throw on it. He would have played a meaningful game, as would Jacobs, and anyone else they removed from a game they had nothing to gain by winning.
-
I'm not incorrect. They took them both out. My point is not that they would have improved their standing. It's that you'll make the playoffs about 99% of the time going 11-6 or 12-5 and the dumb stat making the rounds intentionally ignores that to make a point that MLF is a bad coach. And that isn't necessary to do because there are 10 other non-disingenuous ways to show he's not a championship coach. There were 3 teams that won at least 14 games in the NFC alone. That's insane, and not going to happen a lot. There was a 14-win wild card and two division champions with a worse record than the Packers. It was an anomaly of a season and without it, this "tHeY wOuLdN't hAvE mAdE iT fOr 3 yEaRs" stuff wouldn't be parroted every 5 minutes. When given the proper context, the more realistic conclusion is this: They wouldn't have made it in 2023, expansion let them squeak in, they make it 98% of the time in 2024, and this year who cares because they were a shell of the team they were in early December anyway. But they were almost definitely going to be a 6 seed with any 2 of Parsons, Tom, Kraft, Love not being concussed.
-
Not true. Love went 7 of 12 and got benched and Jacobs ran 6 times and got benched. They took a bunch of starters out of Week 18 against the Bears after they got light work in. They nearly won anyway. And in virtually no other year are you going to go 11-6 and miss the playoffs. I don't see what's "huh" about it. It's an intentionally misleading factoid that makes them sound worse than they were. Which is annoying because there's plenty of ways to make MLF look hapless without resorting to that.
-
I'm done with MLF but the 7 seed thing is the one thing that's getting a little disingenuous. It keeps making the rounds along with the "fact" that they'd have missed the playoffs under the old format which is a technicality and ignores that they gave Week 18 away both years. The first year they were a 7 seed was seen as a huge overachievement. The second year they went 11-6 while punting their final game; that's almost never going to be a 7 seed. And this year, when they were at least not going to be a 7 seed before a rash of injuries. I saw the extension coming a mile away though. Eventually though the Packers are going to fart hard while trying to run it back. They'll have a 6-win season that sneaks in there eventually. It happens to everybody.
-
Patriots are probably going back to the Super Bowl already but tell me again that what the Packers do is okay because winning is hard. Honestly, I love them. Just an incredible franchise and we probably picked the wrong GM when we had a 50% chance to pick the right one.
-
I don't think being an ass matters or not. Just don't be a dope. But I think Ben Johnson knew exactly what he was doing with that 2x a year comment, he was getting into Matty's head, which seems to be something known around the league, and he did.
-
It's just a combination of everyone rightfully tired of MLF + Payton winning a game yesterday. If the argument is that he's better than MLF, ok fine. I really don't think he is anything special. It would be hard not to replicate the success he had in N.O. with Drew Brees. And honestly, they missed the playoffs 6 times, went 7-9 for three straight years and played in a single Super Bowl. He gets slob knobbed for some mysterious reason and mostly evades the treatment that a guy like McCarthy gets. He won a Super Bowl 17 years ago and has had an arguably worse, less consistent trajectory than the Packers since then.
-
No he hasn't. MLF and Rodgers went to 3 of these games. I get that we all want MLF fired but that just isn't true. Lest we forget they were a losing team when MLF took over, too. And they drafted a 1st round QB for Payton. Being better than MLF is a low bar to clear IMO. I'll give anyone that Payton is better. But a huge chunk of his tenure with the Saints is playing good regular season ball and losing to a lower seed in the playoffs. Not sure he even has a Super Bowl if not for Brett Favre. It's textbook recency bias to be back on his jock again. He's a fine coach. I don't think he's this super genius wizard that we are constantly told he is.
-
Is he? Because he has one Super Bowl and a lot of coming up short in big games. His win % is almost identical to Mike McCarthy.
-
Broncos fans told me injuries are part of the game when Parsons went down. And Payton is an ******, so, whatever.
-
You left out half the fans lamenting how it all would have been different if this guy had caught this one pass, so really we know the next year is our year.
-
Yeah. Pretty much knew this was coming but still so disappointing. Can't wait for at least 3 more years of botched timeouts, blown leads, dumb, emotional challenges. Oh what fun. It honestly feels pointless to follow them next year unless you just like watching without any attachment.
-
Meh. It's so low energy to just look at W/L on some eternally crappy team and think a guy can't coach because of that. The Ravens owner gave a very transparent presser after firing Harbaugh in which he went on a tangent explaining exactly this as it relates to their coaching search. He was asked what would exclude a candidate and ended up saying he didn't know but that a losing record won't exclude someone. He is specifically paying extra attention to guys who were hot candidates in their cycle, but maybe landed with a difficult job where they didn't end up winning. His point was that he doesn't think Baltimore is a difficult job, he thinks it's the best job, and might be a better fit for those candidates. I think GB would be similar. Flores is a defensive minded coach and he did take Miami from 32nd to 6th from year 1 to year 2. They were 5-11, 10-6, and 9-8 with Tua and Ryan Fitzpatrick. I don't think that's enough of a shake to know whether or not he can be an effective HC. But here is the real kicker for me. Every Packers hire I have lived through besides Mike Sherman was done with the intent that the QB had to developed. Holmgren, McCarthy, LaFleur. That's not a pressing need. I would love to flip the script and get a HC whose emphasis is defense and details.
-
I was at the Fail Mary game, and believe me, you would not be so forgiving if you were as well.
-
The remaining NFC field is disgusting. I have hatred for 3/4 and indifference to the Rams.
-
I don't think this is too shocking, McCarthy is a good coach. His time had run out in GB, but I never thought he was a bad coach. He was no longer the right guy for the storyline they were in.
-
Not that the Packers give a rat's ass but the amount of attention I pay to next season is completely dependent on who the HC is. I am not signing up for 3 hours a week of MLF.
-
I am not sure why they signed Hobbs tbh. Stokes had a quietly adequate year and they let him walk for a $3.5 million 1-year deal while knowing Jaire was out, and then signed a frequently injured guy who was apparently "more physical at the line" but about the same level of player. It made no sense to me at the time. Going into the season with the corners they had was the absolute worst thing Gute did last summer IMO.
