will anyone be surprised if we lose next week?

Somewhere, a Lions fan is posting the same thing on a chat board.

NO, NOT ONE BIT

We should all be sickened

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! Ted is here. HE WILL FIX IT. We will own the entire 7th round, and we'll have LOTS of depth and be the youngest team FIVE YEARS IN A ROW.

You just gotta believe man! Just believe!

And just what is that saying? Did you watch the game? And, who hired the coach?

You know I'm not a huge TT backer; in in the middle. But I can't throw him under a bus yet. He overestimated the time for some of the young talent to develop...especially on the DL. Hell, it's hard to throw around blame anymore because it lies with just about everybody.

Changes need to be made; people need to be held accountable after the season

the Pack got only 3 points in the 3rd quarter and only had 11 plays (2 possessions) in the 4th quarter. that's too much pressure to put on our struggling, exhausted defense. the d may have sucked some, but the o sucked more in the second half.

The offense wasn't spectacular, but they did enough to win. Even at the end. They moved the ball inside the Bears 20 yard line with 30 seconds to go. That should be done and done.

How about blaming dumb luck for the punt hitting Bush? Or the ref not calling PI against the Bears when Driver was held? Or Crosby missing two FGs?

Well, there is only one other one, so that wouldn't be sayin' a lot.
(By the way--It's Jacksonville). 7 other teams have fewer than 5 wins--Oakland, Seattle and Cleveland with 4, Cincy with 3, the Rams with 2 and the Lions with...well, you know that one. You could make a case that the Packers have more talent than any of them do, but then the discussion comes back around to coaching.

That last miss wasn't luck at all; it was a total failure of blocking. It wasn't Crosby's fault, to be sure, but it's not just a funny bounce of the ball thing.

Or dumb luck for Green Bay that the punt did NOT hit Blackmond

Agreed.

Gosh that is one shit group we are with. I look at the Jags as being OK but the other six as downright pathetic

From 13-3 to ............

Is it too much to ask the punt returner to catch the ball? I like Blackmon, but he had a terrible night catching punts and kicks.
