So many Debbie Downers around here.

In 2008 the Chargers were 4-8 after week 12. They went on to win the wildcard game 23-17 in vs Indy and Peyton Manning. It kind of goes to show what you are wishing for is possible. It is just so extremely unlikely.

Why did you tell Bus Cook to go die?

get it over with quit, give up.

The last I checked, every Packers game has been sold out since 1960. I guess that means there were a lot of us misguided homers during the 70's and 80's.

I don't understand what that has to do with my post.

Packers need to win out and Lions need to lose at least 2 games. Lions last 4 games are against.

Eagles,Ravens,Giants and Vikings. Eagles and Ravens will be very hard. Both of them are fighting for Playoff spots.

There is still life.

 

[adambr2]

Its not a particularly tough schedule, but it isn't easy either. The next two are the toughest.

Frankly, tomorrow's Eagle/Lion game
is as big as ours to me. If Detroit doesn't lose in Philly, I doubt they'll drop 2 out of their last 3.

 

[Southpaw]

Maybe you should just forfeit or surrender

When you need other teams to lose, you can fight all you want, there are circumstances at this point that are beyond our control.

And I invite you please to refute any of my previous predictions of outcomes of game against those teams. We can't even beat the fuking Vikings. How do you propose we beat 3 of the best teams in the NFL? Even assuming Rodgers comes back, who knows if he'll be 100%? Plus we still won't have Cobb or Finley and our secondary can't cover or tackle.

I don't believe in miracles or the stars aligning. I believe in logic and playing the odds. And logic says we don't stand a chance.

 

[DevilDon]

Of course there is a chance but does anybody honestly see us beating Carolina or New Orleans and Seattle on the road? Because that's what we'll have to do.

Call me whatever, there's no reason to do anything now but look at Mock Drafts

Yes, yes I do honestly see us beating those teams. Hey what if THEIR QB goes down? Besides, the ball is shaped funny and crazy stuff happens. Yep, I'm believing and it's no fun if you don't. Have fun expecting a failed season.

Actually that's not true. They didn't sell out in Milwaukee a few times.

Your probably half joking.

But I wonder if an NFL team can really do that or are there rules in place that prevent teams from forfeiting.
I mean, after all, Roger Goodell and other rich NFL fat cats do need yet another fancy new car and another diamond ring for the trophy wife.

 

[Dan115]

LOL have you ever been in impossible situations? DO NOT GIVE UP. I have been handcuffed and taken away twice in 2010. The FBI has been investigating me for 3 1/2 years now. I now live in Thailand and have 3 wives. JUst keep on truckin never never never GIVE UP HOPE!!!

Paying fans would go through the roof. NFL front office would not take that from any organization. I do think some players do give up though and just go through the motions. I certainly hope the Packers do not give up.

Deal is, at the beginning of the season, we're only given 16 "for sure" games. I'm not about to waste any of that 4 months pissing and moaning and looking for a silo to jump off of in utter Packerfan desperation.

Logic in this sense has nothing to do with "the game" in the first place. "Playing the odds..." has nothing to do with "the game" neither. If it did ... 2010 and the ensuing playoff run was the most illogical happenstance I've ever witnessed. In any event, I'm not about to get into a pi$$ing match with anyone wanting to cash in the season -- all I will say is that Jupiter can indeed align with Mars, Southpaw ... it's already happened. Lightning striking twice? It's happened. Uphill battle...you betcha.

The best advice I can give to the young guys here and in the 'chat' who have blown gaskets weekly is to not watch the game if it's going to make your head blow up. My boss and I share a coaching background sort of ... though neither at a high level - he coached high school basketball, I coached grade school football, we are complete opposites. He stopped watching the games due to the "exploding head syndrome". He tuned in on Thanksgiving and ruined the family room carpeting with splattered brain matter (speaking figuratively here guys) and will once again find something to do out in the garage for 3 hours. Even though he is a friend of mine, I tell him point blank that fans with psychological makeups like his are all too willing to tell you what's wrong and who is to blame. In summation, when you're given only 16 kicks at the cat in a season, that type of built-up angst and anger will only accomplish one thing -- make for a miserable life. Anyway ... some folks need to check out whatever is on FX, Spike or Hallmark...or...CBS usually has some sort of NFL offering where there is no emotional investment.

Anyway, bring on the game. Go Pack! Our guys may be a steaming pile of dog crap right now -- but they're OUR steaming pile of dog crap.

BIG HAND SALUTE TO YOU!!!! YOU NAILED IT.

 

[bubba]

I like your optimism but you need to look at reality. This isn't just one or two games of pathetic football its been everygame Rodgers has missed. The offense is offensive the defense is defenseless. That's why people are down. You cant tell me we couldn't win 1 game out of the past 5 against less than stellar opponents. Something besides Rodgers is terribly wrong with this team right now.

 

[Dan115]

Whoops there goes another rubber tree plant. But I've got high hopes. High apple pie in the sky hopes.

 

[7thFloorRA]

Gettin a W is so high up on the priority list right now. I would just like to see a simple tackle executed a few times today.

 

[weeds]

I understand why people are down ... I sat in Lambeau when THIS was par-for-the-course -- well, actually not as bad as some of the horse-crap I saw last Thursday ... but you know what? Some of the crap I've read here lately sounds exactly like the crap I heard first-hand for the entirety of 2 seasons after Wolf/Holmgren took over - the loudest screamers are usually the least informed or experienced. When the Pack lost the NFC Championship game to the Cowbags following the '95 season, this is arguably when the bandwagon filled up exponentially, the 'base' changed dramatically as well. It was suddenly fashionable to be a Packers fan -- I'm sort of hoping that those who don't recognize this for what it is, will find someone else to 'root' for. Just my opinion and my opinion in general, when combined with a bus token, won't get you across town.
