The way things are going, we won't be able to field a team with our players dropping like flies. Maybe just forfeit the rest of the season and give our playoff spot to Detroit.
I honestly don't understand the Jeff Hafley love as far as hot head coaching candidates goes. The defense has actually taken a step back this year even with Micah.
The same thing happened in 2022 in Rodgers last game as a Packer. The Lions were eliminated earlier in the day but still played to win and did. Granted. it was to eliminate the Packers from playoff contention and the Bears have already clinched a playoff berth, but you're both right that Campbell is way too competitive to mail in. And maybe he would absolutely love to knock the Bears to the #7 seed.
I can say that. People love to say that this butterfly effect is exact science when it's not. A first quarter field goal will change next to nothing if anything at all.
Also ironically, now that the Steelers have finished this thing off in weird, wild fashion, we'll be one victory over the Ravens of clinching a playoff berth for both us and Rodgers whether people like it or not.
This team with "mediocre talent" would be at worst 13-2 and have the best record in football if they had any type of competent special teams play, or at the very least, coaches that would not activate a kicker battling injury three weeks in a row.
