I suppose alot of you don't remember the 70's or 80's and they were baaaaad. Something positive to take from this game is that we can all see where Matt Flynn is at. Many scouts say he's the best backup in football.
Back up, yes.
Starter, no.
My theory is that the good players sit on the bench while the best ones play the game.
Will Flynn be good enough to beat the Pats starters if he plays?
I doubt it, but god I hope I'm proven wrong.
What newer fans have to realize is that there are football teams waiting for their first Super Bowl title, are waiting for a winning season after season on end with futility.
I think waiting 13 years is enough time to wait. That's over a decade.
Frankly, I don't give a hooey about fans of other teams.
We all have a choice of who to root for. If they want to root for losers, let 'em root for losers.
When the Pack doesn't make it to the SB after losing that one game in the playoffs, it sure feels like futility to me.
You young fans should know, it's not a given to have success in the NFL. Really, enjoy this team this year, these guys are playing from the top string to the bottom.
I'm as proud of these guys as the Super Bowl winners. That team had few if any important injuries. This Green Bay Packer football squad is a tough bunch.
I do appreciate your bringing your silver lining view into this even though I don't agree with it.
I do like what you wrote about appreciating the 2010 Packers competitiveness despite the turmoils that have happened this year...
- I'm still going to want them to do better.
- I'm still going to want MM play calling to be MORE productive.
- I'm still going to want to not lose 3 BAD football teams in one season.
- I am still going to complain that we can't run the ball.
- I'm still mad that Rodgers (potentially) may have ended our POST SEASON hopes
- I'm still going to want the Packers to win every game
- I'm still not content about the overall team performance
- I'm still going to be very passionate about my favorite team in all of sports
However, I can enjoy this season...but there have now been 5 gut-wrenching-losses that are starting to fuel my impatience & frustration that this season has brought me so far...
Every year I want SUPERBOWL, if I don't get it...I'm just not that content
I agree with this.
It's one thing if the Pack sucks from the get-go.
It's another when it's a roller coaster. (Which it is this year.)
Frankly, I'm sick and tired of them either sucking or having good or bad games.
I want them to be an elite lights out clutch team each and every time.
You know. The way the Falcons and Patsies are this year.
Well on the Bright Side we never got Blown out.
In all 5 of those losses we had a chance to win but the team quit. Except the Bears game.
It doesn't matter how close the game is at the end.
What matters is who won or lost.
If the Pack had lost every single game this year by 3 points or less, then is not being blown out still something to be proud of?
