    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.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    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!

    Maybe reduces the angst of loss after loss.

    My expectations are so low at this point I feel no pain
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    I actually first started it a few weeks ago because of my Manlove for Marvelous Marvin Harrison JR, the best player in college football.

    I want him in Green Bay; then again if we don't have an accurate QB the WR talent isn't as important

    I would agree with all of this.

    I think Gutebag expected GB to be bad this year; maybe not as bad as they are but there were reason't he didn't sign a reliable vet WR, or bring in a TE who could actually block.

    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

    Maybe it does all make sense.

    Packers are in cap hell this year and cap not great next year. But they can back in good position in 2025.

    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.

    Just board the Tank Bus with me TD

    I am not at all convinced Jordan Love is the guy. If he's not there are QB coming out next year.

    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
