Fire Andy Reid...

[tynimiller]

Wonder how many crazy lunatic Chief fans are saying fire Andy now that they are 2-3 to start the season....if same logic dictates their fanbase as many of ours I can only imagine the implosion that is occurring lol

FTR this is sarcastic...and hopefully will illustrate to some how crazy it is to think it is easy to win in this league.

To make this thread more value than just poking folks....seriously though, the parody of this season is crazy and this season is shaping up to be a year where perhaps the best team in both conferences end up with 3 or more losses themselves...

AFC East
Bills 4-1 *Bills fell to the Patriots
NE 3-2
MIA 1-4
NYJ 0-5

AFC West
LAC 3-2
DEN 3-2
KC 2-3
LV 1-4

AFC North
PITT 3-1
CIN 2-3
BAL 1-4
CLE 1-4

AFC South
IND 4-1
JAX 4-1
HOU 2-3
TEN 1-4

AFC is freaking bizaree....you got Jags and the Colts BOTH screaming to the top of the conference in a fashion no one saw coming - even their own fanbases. Trevor Lawrence had a coupel of the prettiest balls I've seen dropped into double coverage last night...You have KC, Miami, Cinci and Ravens ALL finding themselves being backed into a corner that if they don't begin to claw out of they are going to be SOL for the playoffs....

NFC isn't nearly as surprising really...
East
PHI 4-1 (however not a lot has come easy for them)
WAS 3-2
DAL 2-2-1 (top 5 scoring offense)
NYG 1-4

NFC West
49ers 4-1
SEA 3-2
LAR 3-2
ARI 2-3

NFC North
DET 4-1
GB 2-1-1
MIN 3-2
CHI 2-2

NFC South
TB 4-1
ATL 2-2
CAR 2-3
NO 1-4

The NFC really is much more "predictable" so far, but the NFC West and honestly the North is going to have to break at some point or if it doesn't we are going to end up with a TON of 9 or so win teams in the NFC and a log jam for playoff spots....even Arizona has looked like a problem some games and barely lost there three losses - 1 point, 3 points and 1 point....INSANE.


I saw all this to again just illustrate how FREAKING HARD IT REALLY IS TO WIN IN THE NFL. The Eagles have yet to win a game by more than 7 and have not at all dominated....the most dominate team really in the league right now is Detroit and was Bills (still think I'd say they are on that tier despite the loss).

Either way folks/fans of GB I've already seen clamoring about our next four being easy to sweep - SHUT YOUR FOOLISH MOUTHS.

Bengals are going to be fighting to keep any type of hope alive...
Arizona has played like one of the best teams in the NFC and has lost three games by merely 5 points across all three...twice by 1 point. AND we have to go to their house.
Pittsburgh is tough, and it is there...and it will have a very motivated Rodgers playing against us.
Carolina does appear to be weak for sure....but still....

The way I see it is GB has to come away likely with 3 wins to set us up for a push.....five games out is Philly and then in the four weeks after that we play three division games. We really need to be sitting minumum IMO 5-2-1....4-3-1 MINIMUM to really stand a shot, as those division games are legit toss ups - more this year than most.

It's much easier to win without mistakes. But yes, teams are better. Most everyone is doing better.

While it’s not been against all grade A opponents. The Packers have shown the ability to play at a high level when situations dictated that. Obviously Teams have struggled. However if GB can get a couple players healthy and put together a good game in all 3 phases in the same game? they can compete with anyone.

Not taking away done hard fought efforts by opponents (because they didn’t give up which is admirable) but Much of what has hurt the Packers is themselves. Averaging 10.33 flags per contest over our last 3 games cannot continue. The mental errors need to be mitigated and we need to get Josh Jacobs going. Plays like that Love lateral to Jacobs down the sideline at Dallas are nothing short of impressive. Opponents had better hope GB either has more injuries quickly, continues on a 10-11 self inflicted flags or turns the ball over in opponent scoring position. That’s the combination that opponents have been gifted thus far. If those get cleaned up, GB is a top 3 team in the NFC

"Breaking News, Kansas City's Andy Reid Fired!"

Oh wait, never mind, was an article about a Best Buy employee.

It’s ok they will still get a break somewhere and make the SB

I harken back to those fateful words of Mike McCarthy:
" It's hard to win in this league. "

Spot on.

As much as we as Packer fans think our team should win every game, that just doesn't happen, unless you are the 1972 Dolphins. I am as guilty as the next guy/gal that after a loss, I probably over analyze the perceived "problems" with the Packers. That said, a good team fixes issues, after a W or L. Then they move forward to the next game, hopefully learning from and correcting their mistakes. This might be my biggest issue with MLF, he has a problem on Special teams, as well as in game management of play calling and the clock, fix it MLF!

The bottom line though, luck, injuries, timing, etc. all play a factor into a games outcome and some days, it just wasn't meant to be.

Based on the title, I actually thought that this was an old thread from 1997 or 1998 that someone dug up!

And this week a number of teams that snatched defeat from the jaws of victory will be attempting to rebound. So we could see some blowouts.

Coaches with 3 Lombardi trophies tend to get a little more benefit of the doubt than ones that have never even seen a Super Bowl.
