I really like how Love looked last night, but it's pretty early/small sample sizing to get too excited about.
I mean, Mike White looked like the best QB in the NFL yesterday, and he played a full game.
Doing a little more research on this...it appears that MLF called the play, thinking Tampa had a timeout left.
Someone thought Tampa had a timeout. Pettine or MLF. That's the only way the call makes any sense.
That doesn't excuse it, of course. It's an unfathomable failure on the highest level to give that TD up on as basic of a mistake as not knowing how many timeouts your opponent has.
Watched the MLF press conference and there's clearly no changes on the horizon with Barry.
Same song and dance as every week -- we gotta be better, we all gotta be better ...etc. etc.
Yes, we know you gotta be better, and we know you won't be.
MLF said that if Rodgers is healthy he'll be playing.
I'm convinced that Rodgers is the defacto HC for this team and MLF has no real control over something as basic as his starting QB.
At this point I wouldn't even let MLF make the hire. Almost every one of his coordinator/coaching hires has been an unmitigated disaster. He's had two enormous hand picked ST coordinator flops and now an enormous DC flop.
I don't know what it is.....but the man cannot hire a competent staff.
I don't know what you even do about that....I realize you can't really just take that control away from him...but ...I can't trust anyone he hires.
The modern NFL kicker is awesome and the ones that aren't find themselves on the street pretty quickly. Which makes it even odder that we continue to cling to the one we've had for 15 years.
FWIW, I thought Pettine was ...not great, not good, but not dreadful.
But the cover 1 call in the Tampa game was an inexplicable and fireable offense itself.
The worst thing about how bad we are is that it's not like we can even say the future is bright. We don't have a lot of young talent, we don't have a franchise QB, and we're not in a good spot cap-wise.
It's going to take some years and some patience to dig out of this hot mess.
Only the Badgers could have first and goal at the 5 with the game on the line and lose the game with 3 false starts and a hold.
Fitting end to the season, although I suppose they'll have it extended by one more gross game in some obscure bowl.
Very hard earned point. This tie definitely feels different than the one against Wales.
Formula is simple now, beat Iran or go home, no complicated tiebreaker needed.
