I don’t know why I even watch football. Year after year it’s the same thing, you think you see a little light at the end of the tunnel and these frauds just lay egg after egg when it matters most.

 

I don’t know about frauds. They are what they are, at least a year away. The season as a whole exceeded expectations.

 

Yep. The people viewing them as "frauds" are puzzling to me. It seems like there is a portion of the fan base who have been waiting to say 'I told you so' since October.

 

There is a subgroup of Packer fans out there who love to be miserable.

All I ask is for a good football game. I don’t expect a win here. Rodgers unaware in the pocket (or blame it on the OL), turnovers via center/QB exchanges, shanked punts, interceptions, poor kickoff return decisions. What about that is not embarrassing or fraudulent?

Points before and after half is the way back in this.

 

 

Edit: Holy Schnikes.

"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

Same issues for years. Poor offensive line play (not sure how people can dispute this any longer). Not sure how y’all always say they are very good, but those numbers are beyond flawed with whatever you look at. Rodgers is a magician and is always forced to avoid multiple guys on every play and pull off miraculous play after miraculous play. Not saying they all suck. Maybe one or two are decent. But having one very good one and the rest a bunch of garbage is going to result in a garbage offensive line. And that’s what we have.

 

Linebackers. Oh my gosh how slow can you be? That entire aspect of the defense needs to start anew. Bring in some new faces that have a little speed that can effectively cover guys and can flow to the ball properly. We are getting shredded by a team that has a good offensive line and quick backs.

 

Offensive weapons. Get some wide receivers/tight ends that can open up the field and get some separation. A lot of this roster is just too slow, including their offensive personnel, and you’re just not going to win the whole thing with the type of speed we’ve continued to trot out there.

Spent a lot of money and draft picks on a defense that looks like absolute trash. I was excited by the hire but buh-bye Pettine.

Yes please. He is a fraud.

 

Actually, I agree with this. I think Pettine is a guy who inherited a terrible defense, made some improvements to make them somewhat better, than got a lot of credit for increased succcess that came as a result of a major talent infusion, yet still didn't improve enough.

 

I'd have zero problem if LaFleur wanted to bring in his own guy if Pettine moves on. I think the only danger is changing the whole scheme again could be problematic.

Ok, there's a lot to be critical of, but let's not say things we can't take back. They've basically played three bad games all year, and all three were against the best pass rush teams in the league.

Rodgers is a magician because he chooses to play that type of game. I think he’s broken and I’m not sure he will ever be fixed. He will never play within a system completely like some of the greats have as they’ve aged. It might truly be what holds them back of winning another one while he’s around.

Did you expect a win coming in? Most didn't.

The worrisome thing is I'm not even sure they're a year away. This isn't like 10 years ago. They have a really old franchise quarterback trending in the wrong direction and an old veteran offensive line. They have a couple high end veteran pass rushers. It's not like they have a ton of young developing talent to lean on.

 

I don't think they're a team that's guaranteed to trend in a positive direction in the next couple years.

Maybe read my post and you’ll have your question answered. I highlighted it in blue for you. And since you seem to think I’m an “I told you so” guy I’m far from it. It’s just the same ole same ole, and you know it’s true.

I think you missed my point. If you thought they weren't going to win, how can you be angry that they didn't win?
