Hang on here a Cotton Pickin’ minute lads, you fellow Rats here must admit that it’s only Bretsky who could come up with “Embrace the Tank,” at this point during the season?
Even our Burger Flipper couldn’t come up with that.

Management might be embracing the tank but the players aren’t.
Trust me, in the NFL if you have a bad attitude or give bad effort or you don’t spend enough time studying film or working out, you aren’t on the team next year. The players who embrace the tank and don’t give their best effort will be gone.
Fair enough buddy, but as a Packer fan that still doesn’t take away from the fact that this morning the phrase, “embrace the tank” is imprinted in my mind. It’s a great therapeutic phrase!Quote:

I think Guter is the only one who could tank the season - trading productive vets, pushing to have guys put on IR - but he’d have to be confident in his job security. Or he could try to throw The Flower under the bus, if he feels heat. But coaches are usually coaching for their lives.
Losing is a culture. I can embrace the one year reset tank, but you can't allow the players to embrace it. MiLF has to stay on them to WIN. Just like I bitched that fat mike would get a lead and make the D play on its heels and then ask them to ratch the intensity back up when it was a one score game with 2 minutes left, I'll bitch that Gutes is losing guys who know how to win. Culture matters (no, thats not an FYI statement). If you allow the players to accept that losing is OK you will have a problem.
We can embrace it. Gutes can embrace a bad season. The coaches and players can not, and Gutes should have understood that before trading Douglas.
Haha, good one.Quote:

If you don’t want to embrace the tank then don’t embrace the tank. However for the sake of my eye twitching this weekend this Packer fan is embracing the tank, regardless of what you say.
Good to see you’re kinda embracing it. Can’t argue with a single point you’ve made..Quote:

I also think some vets would have more inssues with the performance than the 1st/2nd year guys. Part of that is even more troubling that we just dumped one of them for not enough when we really didn't have any step in younger backups ready
And Gutebag's presser was complete Shit.
If you listen to Flower, and Barry, those two are coaching their asses off and were not happy with the Rasul Sale
I actually first started it a few weeks ago because of my Manlove for Marvelous Marvin Harrison JR, the best player in college football.Quote:

You take 2023 to see if Love is the next QB, if he isn’t you had a bad year and should be drafting high.
I, as a fan, want us to win every game.

And I'm happy to be wrong. If he is the guy, maybe we get the top OT in the draft, or my wishes, the best WR and top player in the draft.
We're accumulating draft picks; when we decide to win down the road we absolutely need a few Vet Leaders though.
Going to be an interesting ride.
WHAT BITES....my 2nd favorite team is the dam RAMS, and they suck too.f
It sux to have no quality team to cheer for...lol
It's the kind of stupid thing that the perpetual losers do - in any sport.Quote:
