But I’m still feeling pretty good about running the table.
After sleeping on this last game, I’m encouraged by Love’s improvement as the game progressed. He continues to hang tough and not just spiral into a puddle of absolute failure when things get weird, as even Rodgers tended to do. He’s not great, but he’s still got talent and a very good head on his shoulders.
In the end, this team is stuck on the threshold of two realities. It would be better for their current players’ growth to keep winning, but better for their future rosters if they lose. A title is all but out of the question, and seems ridiculous even typing it out.
Ultimately, at the end of the next four games, I think I want these things, in order of importance:
1) To feel good about Love’s trajectory as a franchise QB
2) Hope for new DC and a new left tackle
3) No major injuries, new or current
4)To feel good about LaFleur as a playcaller
