    It's historically difficult to go 0-16 in the NFL. The Brownies have a couple of games that are interesting against inferior (same as they are) teams. They also play on Christmas Eve and New Years Eve. Something's going to give, I just hope it's not this week.

    2. That video is 6 years old and as relevant as ever. It takes effort to be that consistently bad.

    Tony Grossi, local Browns beat guy: “That’s a great coach over there in Green Bay. They lose Rodgers and they find a way to win, even with a struggling QB. They take the ball out of his hands, rely on the running game and defense.”

    They find a way to win? They're 2- 5 since Rodgers got hurt.

    Think about it. If they'd even managed to go 3-4, they'd be in the thick of the hunt for a wild card spot right now.

    Well they did come close in Pittsburg.

    Still the perspective from Cleveland is a lot different, especially with a team that is 4-45 in its last 49 games.

    Rely on defense to win? Now there's a strategy for the rest of the year!
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    They still have to play the Bears.

    Living in a market with a losing team is always a good way to keep perspective on the Packers.

    Also, the Packers 5 losses without Rodgers (MIN, NO, DET, BAL, PIT) have included 4 playoff teams, 3 division leaders, and one perpetually almost-made-it-but-ran-out-of-gas Lions team.

    I am disappointed; I thought he was going to be a better player than he is. By this past raining camp MM ought to have known what he had - or didn't have - in Hundley, and by that logic I would argue he ought to have snapped up Kaepernick back at the end of training camp. Kaepernick is not all-world, but he's better than Hundley.

    and they should have traded Hundley for the rumored second round pick when they had the chance, now we will get squat and he is worse that JAG

    It took some work to get a regulation sized, double-milled paper grocery bag, but I've got it. Two eye holes and mustache. Working on inscription.

    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
