    The Lions can take the game off if they want. Means nothing as long as they beat Minnesota.

    I think we want a Super Bowl. He hasn't impressed in playoff games and other marquee games. This whole "youngest team" schtick is getting kinda dumb while we're on it. Less than 2 years separate the youngest and oldest teams. It's a difference of 25.2 and 27.1 from youngest to oldest. People act like we're talking about 13 year olds here or something. I haven't seen anyone mention that maybe the Packers shouldn't be so young and they have undervalued veteran presence to the point that they could have achieved more by now with an above average end instead of Lukas Van Ness. Not really that great when your hottest young commodities aren't playing meaningful snaps until year 4.

    Earth. This is MLF's 6th season. He spent the first 4 with an MVP QB. He has a 68% regular season winning percentage and is 3-4 in the playoffs without winning the conference. I think both can be true: He is one of the best coaches in the league, but it is getting close to when people start asking if he can get the Packers over the hump. IMO, he is a developing a reputation almost like a Mike Budenholzer. A guy that is good to develop young talent and win regular season games, but there are really not many signature wins on his resume as a head coach. I would even say Mike McCarthy's teams showed up better in those games. Nobody is saying he is on a hot seat today. But with another early dip from the playoffs, I think by next season those hot takes will start swirling. If they do it again next season, then I'd guess those conversations pick up some real steam. What the Packers actually do about it is an entirely different story. As a club, they are probably one of the slower teams to pull big triggers like that. I like MLF, not advocating for his firing yet. But I think their diarrhea in marquee games this year has added fuel to the fire. All becomes moot if they do good stuff next month, though.

    I am beginning to wonder if something else is going on with him and he doesn't want to play. I saw someone else mention it here a week ago, but something doesn't smell right. But my unqualified speculative read on it is that he's played his last snap for the Packers already.
  5. OldSchoolSnapper
    How long will it take before there are whispers about MLF's job? My guess would be after next season if there isn't a deep run. I'm sure some people will laugh at that, like they did when I said something similar about Mike Budenholzer, but pro sports are incredibly fickle. I like MLF, but the postseason failure under Rodgers plus 3 seasons of Love would have to start those rumblings. Can only fire so many coordinators before it gets back to you.

    I'm genuinely not sure how the defense is as good as it is with what feels like very, very little playmaking. It's not incredible but it's safely in at least the top half of the league and probably a little better...yet who on that defense do you find yourself saying, "OK, make a play here!" There's nobody. The alleged best player they have has barely played. There's McKinney, but he hasn't really done much big play stuff in the second half. Overall I think they've done a good job with the defense but they are badly missing some star power in the front 7 and the litany of early round picks have been, for the most part, hugely disappointing. Love is probably the most insignificant of the three points. Doesn't look like he's really taken a leap this year, but I think he's a championship quality QB and frankly we shouldn't require an MVP to win the Super Bowl.

    I am not so sure the Rams are the break some people think they are. I don't think there is a bad team in the field. Washington has mostly quality losses with the exception of Dallas and Tampa was just hurt all year. It's Atlanta if they make it.
  8. OldSchoolSnapper
    Well yeah, lol. Vikings and Lions have lost a combined 4 times, one of them to the other. All three are loaded offensively. Even Darnold is on some MVP pixie dust. None of them look great for GB on paper. Barkley will make plays. But the Packers generally haven't been killed by the run this year and for the most part they are solid with mobile QBs. I'd experience exactly 0 level of surprise if they got absolutely shredded by Philly, but, maybe I just don't want to lose a 3rd game to another divisional team. I'll roll the dice with the in-fighting Eagles.
  9. OldSchoolSnapper
    If the Packers have to play one of the top 3 right away, Philly is the one I want. There's been enough weird crap going on there this year that it's the one that would just make a good story if they crap the bed. I don't like their odds against any of them, but at least give me what seems like the most dysfunctional team.
  10. OldSchoolSnapper
    We both should have lost to the Bears so I'll call it even.
  11. OldSchoolSnapper
    If we're gonna pick random subjective things that aren't even in the actual criteria, they lost to Dallas. I really couldn't care less about being 6 or 7 though. Conference record is a dumb tiebreaker if you're going to count divisional opponents that you have to play twice. Just use the record against non divisional opponents.
  12. OldSchoolSnapper
    People are really sure of guaranteed outcomes tonight. Is anyone aware that the Cowboys, at 3-7, beat them in Washington with Cooper Rush? Much stranger things have happened. I didn't even think Atlanta would be within 10 of them tonight. They're not that great. It's a divisional game. Dallas sucks, but you just never know.
  13. OldSchoolSnapper
    The Packers really took one playing in this division. Not only the obvious in that you play two 13/14-win teams twice but that also crushed their conference record. Kinda stupid when they lost a single game outside their own division yet Washington gets a conference record tiebreaker.
  14. OldSchoolSnapper
    Well, nobody else in the field had to play arguably the top 2 teams 4 times, and oh, by the way, play the other top 3 team, too, while you're at it. I guess it's hard for me to be too upset with the Packers losing to teams they are, well, worse than. It's not like we're bumped to 7 because we lost to Jacksonville. If it's Philly so be it. If they get killed by Philly they would have ended up losing to whoever in the 2nd round, IF they even got by LA, which, right now, I'm not sure that's any better.
  15. OldSchoolSnapper
    So, thought I heard the Packers were moved to Saturday. That's too bad...wish Washington played before us so we could just give ourselves a bye if we are locked into 7.
  16. OldSchoolSnapper
    It took a DT's fingertip to prevent it the first time. This is still professional football. Anyone can beat anyone.
  17. OldSchoolSnapper
    The Commanders can lose to the Cowboys. The Packers can lose to the Bears. I don't think tonight's results really seal anything as far as GB's opponent. Goofy stuff happens in games like that on the final weekend seemingly every year.
  18. OldSchoolSnapper
    McVay has a clock management special assistant. I get it. I can't imagine how much is going on during an NFL game and how fast 40 seconds must be on the field.
  19. OldSchoolSnapper
    Already said it but just white flagging the FG to end the half was 1000x worse than the 4th and 2.
  20. OldSchoolSnapper
    Their dud was the Bears game.
  21. OldSchoolSnapper
    I haven't really changed my expectations at all based on tonight but I think we can put the "they don't want to play the Packers" thing to bed. Minnesota should be more confident than anyone playing the Packers. I think Dan Campbell is fine with it too. They both have explosive offenses that hit the Packers where it hurts. Sure, I think the Packers can beat them on a good/lucky day, but I think it's pretty clear on paper, the Packers are a 4/5 in the NFC. Stranger things have happened than a run by this Packers team, but I think primarily they lack a playmaker in the middle of their defense and the offense is just too streaky. They have a good group of WRs, but none of them really stand out. Philly is a interesting one to me. They should beat GB but the one thing the Packers do fairly well is play the run and contain mobile QBs. That, and there is enough dysfunction in that org right now that its plausible to see them choke it up. I have no expectations though. Not anything beyond an extra week of football.
  22. OldSchoolSnapper
    I think what's disappointing is that Packers don't seem to have gotten better since the end of last year. I think everyone wanted to ride the wave up and they essentially have stagnated. That loss to SF really stung. The run they were on was a better shot at the Super Bowl than they have this season.
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    I wanted the Packers to lose a close game just for my own supstition as I didn't want them to peak too soon or have some win streak going into the postseason. That game didn't feel close though. It was a drubbing that had an illusion of being close the final 6 minute. As a football fan though the final week with Detroit and Minnesota will be fun. Don't really care who we end up playing. I don't think we are ready and I will enjoy whatever game we get.
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    I appreciate your optimism but they got their lunch stolen twice by Minnesota and came back once they relaxed only to have the game put away when they were pressured again. Realistically Minnesota dominated them thoroughly more than Detroit did this year. But, any given Sunday I guess. Maybe we'll get lucky.
  25. OldSchoolSnapper
    Just felt like Minny took a foot off the gas too soon. The Packers do not have an answer for them.
