What would lombardi do?

Sure wish we could get a confidential survey of the organization. I find it hard to believe they're as optimistic as you think. And, they get paid obscene amounts of money to not give up, while it costs me to follow and support them, so I think I'm entitled to be upset in their showing.

Maybe they aren't optimistic. I don't know. I just don't see any reason to think they have given up.

Probably a good example of how language and relativism make sports boards hard to judge. Just like some boards with threads about tanking, what does that really mean? What does it mean to say the players (or the fans) have given up? These and other terms mean different things to different people, and so we often argue a point only to realize we've been pretty much in agreement all along.

Just pointing out, St. Vincent was the GM of the Pack and handpicked Phil Bengtson as the new head coach.

i kinda doubt that. it was only one year and from what i've seen staying out of the day to day coaching drove him crazy.

 

[gbgary]

The organization is not giving up like fans have.

they're paid to put on an optimistic face but they all know what's up. it'll take a miracle to make the playoffs and get bounced in the first round.

Mr. L would indeed have fired Capers after one bad year. He would NOT have put up with it. Murphy would've been shown the door too. The hard old war horse would've collapsed on the field screaming at Clay for overrunning every pressure. What the hell is goin on out there is an understatement.

Lombardi would have fired Murphy? Uh... Lombardi couldn't fire the President of the Packers - even as a "god" he was only a coach and General Mgr.
