Maybe the Packers just need to tank a season or two to get higher draft picks. All this success is just leading to draft failure. It will be worth it, believe me. You will enjoy those 4-12 seasons.

They could trade Brad Jones and AJ Hawk plus a fifth rounder for Joe Thomas. Then move Thomas for a pair of first round picks.Quote:

There wasn't enough time to earn them all. But then there was a collapse.Quote:

ThunderDan !?
Do you want to make this it's own thread?
If Bostick does his job and Jordy gets the onside kick do we win?Quote:

I think Capers showed yesterday why McCarthy has so much loyalty to him. The GB defense absolutely kicked the crap out of the Seahawks for 57 minutes. I haven't seen such a dominating, ass-kicking performance in the limelight a Packer defense since they took the Niners out to the woodshed in the 1995 divisional round. I wish I could see this as a sign of good things to come in 2016, but this loss is going to be hard to bounce back from.
That is the trouble though. While wist has burned out his flight or fight response to Capers D, it has had repeated trouble playing bend but don't break defense late in games. Packers D has terrible numbers in the 4th Quarter. Some of this is playing out a lead, but it also points to problems with zone coverage. They just don't play it well.Quote:

Rodgers is understandably frustrated, and like any QB worth his salt he wants to throw the ball to win the game. But MM stayed true to the principles that have won the Packers games this year. They've been running the ball in the five-minute offense on a regular basis, and they have gotten results. This time they got stuffed by a DL that they had been pushing around for most of the afternoon, and then the defense backed off on the pressure that had given Wilson fits for the entire afternoon. If you want to blame someone for being too conservative it should Capers. But first blame Slocum for not expecting the fake (how the f*** could he not be expecting that?!?) and don't forget to blame Quarless and Bostick for their drops, Rodgers for his miss-fires, and Burnett for sliding too early.Quote:

Now please answer my question.
If Bostick does his job and Jordy gets the onside kick do we win the game?
