[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 803284, member: 7261"] Agreed. It seems like some are afraid to admit your first major point, This team is just not that good. This is a 4-6-1 team that hasn't beaten anyone of note since Week 1. If this was a team that had looked pretty decent during the season and one that was getting a healthy player or 2 back from injury, which could make them highly competitive, I would be right on that "lets just make the playoffs, because we can win it all" bandwagon. But the fact of the matter is, this team isn't very good in its current state. Not even a win on the road, which is where they would be in the playoffs. So as a Packer fan I too am looking at the Big Picture of what is best for this team going forward. Win out the season and just miss or make the playoffs or take the attitude of "this wasn't our year, what can we do over the next 5 games to improve this team for 2019?" I don't think there is a lot that the Packers can or should do to save Coaching jobs at this point, so not even going to point to what winning or losing games the rest of the season does to that. Sure, its great to win some games, but at what cost? Playing guys that probably won't be on the team next year, exposing AR to further major injuries, picking later in each round of the draft? While they probably won't do what I am suggesting until they are "officially" eliminated, I would treat the rest of the season as getting ready for 2019. Get as much playing time in for the backups that will be here next year. If AR needs more time with the Rookie WR's to establish chemistry, do it safely with quick throws and not taking needless hits in the pocket. Losing games at this point isn't what a lot of Packer fans want to watch, but each loss moves you up in each round of the draft and I am OK with that. Only problem, you probably have a Lame Duck coach making the decisions and I don't see MM wanting to do anything but throw everything he has to win now and who cares about the 2019 Packers, because he won't be around to coach them. Take my opinion as a defeatist one, but I view it more of one of looking squarely at the reality of the situation and what is best for the teams future. [/QUOTE]
