[QUOTE="Ogsponge, post: 595088, member: 9358"] So I am normally not the type to drudge up old threads but in this case I feel it is entirely warranted as I don't want people to think I am just pulling stuff out of my **** after a bad loss.. Read what I had to say after the opening loss to Seattle and compare it to yesterday's game, particularly point #2. I am sorry but it is time to stop making excuses for this team. The bottom line is the Packers are soft and weak. The Packers rarely lose to the better team, however they almost always lose to the tougher team. And if the past 5 years of mostly utterly embarrassing playoff losses does not prove that to anyone I do not know what will. That being said let me explain what I mean by soft and weak. I am not talking about physical strength although that does play a part of it sometimes but I am mainly talking about mental strength. This team lacks conviction, fire, passion, backbone, nastiness and killer instinct. This team once again played a scared football game, especially in the 2nd half, this team started playing not to lose instead of playing to win. On top of that for the entire 4th quarter you have one armed cornerback on the field and you don't test him? Not once? How more scared of playing football can you be? This team was once again on the wrong side of an historic win. It was the largest come from behind victory in the history of the NFC and AFC championship games. When was the last time you saw a Packer player on the sideline firing up his team in crunch time? I can't remember one time since Woodson has been gone. Where is the leadership on this team? Where is the fire and overwhelming desire to win a football game on this team? It does not exist and that is what this team continues to lose when it matters most. And don't get me wrong, I am not saying it cannot be fixed, I am not saying we need to blow up the whole team because of it. What I am saying is that unless someone on this team is going to take the role of the guy that tells the rest of the team "THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE" what we saw, yet once again, is going to happen over and over and over to this team. As I said at after the season opener.... "Sure we will continue to win lots of football games and we will continue to be considered one of the better teams in the NFL but the goal is not to be better it is to be the best and until this team decides they want to be the best there will be a lot of disappointments come playoff time for this organization.
