Another poster mentioned MM being upset with the offense and RBs. He mentioned the team looks good on paper but they arent where they need to be. Im not sure of the teams attitude to be honest, but I wonder if a wake up call would help? Could a lose be a blessing?
I think a couple rough series for the offense in the preseason could help.
In 97 the packers lost 2 of the first 5 games before winning 10 of the next 11.
Losing early, no.
But some hard games would be great, some nail biters would help keep the team focused.
I'd prefer if we had to lose any close losses to be mid season. A good start is vital for the defending champions, erases all talk of a superbowl hangover. The team doesn't lose confidence etc. Cowboys and Vikings lost some tough early games last year and never recovered. Not the best examples but yeah.
Hang on a sec. while I check something on the top of the page.
Let's see here...
It reads "Packer Forum."
OK just had to make sure that I didn't wander over into the Browns or Lions forum by mistake.
But from reading a thread with posts like these, I'm still not sure if I'm in the right fan forum.
OK now I'll pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming.
It's just a bad dream FF. Wake up. Wake up!
Nope, it's reality.
I can't believe that such a thread would be started on a Packers forum by a few fans who agree with it.
Did someone hack into your accounts? An evil twin or an evil clone?
You guys want the Packers to actually loose because you think it will help them? Since when did losing games ever do that? Just because it happened last year for them, does not mean it can happen again.
The only way to gain composure is to win.
Winning breeds confidence and losing breeds just more losing.
Take a look at the Browns or other teams that are in the cellar year after year. Those guys lose but they never bounce back.
I'm not convinced that losing an early game would be of any benefit. Losing brings down moral & enthusiasm. I say, "Win 'em all!!!". Wins build confidence.
Green Bay Gal is right on and sums up nicely my feelings on the matter to.
