2024 Packers regular season thread

[Mack]

The Packers are capable of beating every team in the league, they just gotta play clean football. Fumbling on your first possession, failing to connect on a 4th down try that was open when in field goal range and lining up offsides on a missed field goal are some key differences between a win and a loss.

I'm by no means predicting the Packers are going to make a run to the SB; I'm simply pointing out that such a thing is well within reason. Stomping on hope because of some self-inflicted wounds in past games is silly.

That’s the common denominator in their losses. Too many to overcome against good teams. Again, I put some of that on being young. They cannot commit several of those in the playoffs and get to the next level. Team that commits the least amount of mistakes usually wins. Mistakes happen mostly due to lack of discipline. Maybe they find it in post season.

Will they continue to implode in post season? Or will they manage to play mistake free football? After today’s loss at home against the boo hoo bears…it doesn’t look promising. I know I know GB had nothing to play for and they needed to save their starters but how embarrassing for them to lose at home. GB is 1-5 against division opponents this year. That’s f’ing horrible and a disgrace. It’s going to be a typical game next week. They will get behind early and try to play catch up with 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter and come up short once again. Jesus, the bears? Really?

Forgot to add: move on from Watson. Good talent but is nothing more than a nightmare of injuries. Was he this weak in college? If so, shame on GB for drafting him. Zero help on the sidelines on IR.

On the flipside, it took the Bears' starters a trick punt return for a TD, a fumble recovery in scoring position and last second field goal to 'Bear'-ly beat the Packers' second string.

It's a journey and nobody is going to win the title every year. The reality is there are 32 teams trying to get to the playoffs, 14 of them get there. If you're good or lucky enough to get into the playoffs it's a weekly elimination tournament where you get your shot weekly. So they got the first part done, now they're onto the weekly part in the playoffs, and believe it or not they do have a chance at a win. The game isn't decided on paper or by power rankings or by anything else other than the scoreboard. I don't know how much more you want from them other than competing for a win.

Now, there are some caveats. The games are played at the "better" teams stadium, better being how you placed within divisions within the conference. There are also a few not usual scheduling quirks, nothing happens if max money isn't being made, and you also have to live with the strange days and times the games are played, if that's the case.

Lastly, I know this one is very difficult for some to grasp, but all teams pay their players and those paychecks are usually earned by performance. Performance in doing your job and being as good as you can be at your position. Some teams have better players at some positions than others and winning is usually about buying into the system and doing your job at the best of your ability. There are times, however, when teams do actually outmatch the other team and bad stuff happens like a blow out.

So, with all that stated, I'll take the Packers playing in the post season and accept where the chips fall from here. It's much better than watching the Packers of the 70's and 80's where they had no chance what so ever to even get to the playoffs. They owe me nothing, and if you think they do owe you something, then you need to buy a team and you can tell them all about it.

Love didn’t push me towards the positive side of the fence I’m sitting on regarding him this evening.

Another disappointing season in the books. Might be time to move on from ML and the Jordan Love experiment. Also, it’s really important for the talent evaluators to make prone to injury a priority. Doesn’t matter if you’re the best talent in the world. If you’re always on the sidelines, what good are you?

Strange, it appears to me that you got the exact season you've been asking for since the first day you've posted here.
