Just to get off topic from this Packers fiasco, with the rumors of Brady mulling retirement after this season and the possibility of Rodgers doing the same, can you imagine what it will potentially look like in Canton five years from now?

Here's a great read about the special teams. https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/news/latest-special-teams-disaster-ends-packers-season It's not like those blocks were just a defender getting a finger on the ball, affecting the trajectory. Both were full on thuds.

I don't really follow the Bucks or the NBA very much but as far as the Allen situation, I pretty much agree with everyone. I already hated the guy with him being a Duke product. He's a punk, and I'm glad Bud DNPed him last night. It's good the Bucks dealt with this from within. I'd DNP him another game.

It's 12 hours later and my mind is still in a frenzy. I'm just not in a state of mind to express my feelings right now. I definitely have strong opinions. Some I have had for years. But right now I'm not in a state of mind to express them rationally. Let me just say that how this season ended is a full on organizational failure. From Mark Murphy, to Brain Gutekunst and Ted Thompson, to MLF, to Aaron Rodgers, to the rest of the roster, down to the ticket takers. (OK the ticket takers is hyperbole. I'm just saying nobody is blameless in this.)

Yes, it is crazy. They'll incur $39M in dead cap space if they release him. Best case scenario is they trade him after 6/1 in which they will incur $8.8M in dead cap in 2022 and $17.5M in dead cap in 2023, but that requires a trade partner and I don't know if anyone is going to take on his contract coming off of an injury and not being able to play in this playoff game. Why not just bite the bullet on all the dead money next season, fill out the roster on the cheap and start with a clean slate in '23? I know this isn't generally done, but why not? The Packers are now officially in salary cap hell. I don't think they could keep Rodgers and Adams even if they wanted to. They've been kicking the can down the road as long as they could, understandably. At some point they have to pay the piper, and that time may as well be now. They're not competing in '22 with Love starting and no Adams. Give Love a full year of development as the starter with basically no expectations as far as wins and losses. Then if he shows promise, they can start to spend a bit in '23 again, while using their likely early draft capital in '23 in addition to whatever they get from a Rodgers trade to start building a good young team around Love. We'll find out in very short order how good MLF and Gute really are. That's what I think too. To me it doesn't make sense to take massive cap hits for multiple years. Just rip the band aid off and get it over with. So what if we have a losing record for one year? It will be nice to finally have a high draft pick that can be used for the rebuild.

And according to them, the Niners STs weren't all that great this season either. And they dominated ours tonight.

Zero chance he is traded within the division. Below zero, if that is even possible. I hope you are right that they get a big package back for him. I fear they won't, though. Tonight's performance certainly didn't raise his trade value. It more than likely hurt it.

Yeah, I'm at the point where the organization just slash a bunch of salary, take the cap hit next year, prepare for a poor 2022 season and rebuild this thing. As someone said before, I think this version of the team has run out of gas.

Yeah, it's unfair to ask the defense to hold a one score lead for 57 minutes.

Maybe it's just me, but maybe the reason we don't win home games in January is these teams aren't as good as the Lombardi and Holmgren teams.

And out of a time out.

Well if this isn't fitting

I'm just sick.

What are the odds we block this?

No matter what happens, it's time for a rebuild. You can't keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect things to get better.

Perfect. If that doesn't get Drayton fired, nothing will.

Our O-Line has no shot.

The Niners really should've had Lance in on that fourth down.

That's as good as a turnover there. Gary player of the game. Now freakin score.

Jimmy's luck is gonna run out eventually right?

Three was not enough there.

Four down territory the rest of the way.

What do you mean, tonight? He's been doing that since Jordy left.

And we burn a time out because of course.

Perhaps Hackett should've spent more time on the game plan and less time interviewing for head coaching openings.
