Official Bretsky Broke His Curse Thread: Take it to the Bank

[MJZiggy]

In some regards Bretsky, your assessment of this team might make for the toughest offseason of all.

If they go 8-8 or 9-7, what do you do? Do you say, geez, it'd be a bitch to start all over, let's give MM and TT another year? Or do you say, y'know, this was MM's fourth year and he's just not getting it done and can the guy?

And what about Ted? That's a whole 'nother question - and I think this is the biggest issue. If this team continues to lose or be mediocre, is it the coaching or the talent level or both?

On the other hand, if the team rebounds and goes 10-6, surely MM and TT would get another chance. And if the team finishes at 6-10 or worse, then surely MM at least would get a boot planted in his healthy behind. And you might even see TT gone, too. Then we all know we start over.

But what if they go 8-8? Do you keep MM? Or do you fire him and promote Capers so there's continuity, the have him hire some offensive assistant to coach the offense? Or do you shitcan everyone?

I've been asking this more lately and would like to know what people think: what if Ted had hired Jim ("The Master of") Bates? Would this team be better off today?

When I look at this defense and think of Jenkins/Kampman on the outside, Pickett/Raji inside, and Barnett, Mathews, and Hawk/Chillar at linebacker, I wonder....hmm....would that have worked?

Hmmm...Here's what I think. First, I think you're overthinking. It's too soon to be thinking of the final record and what they'd do--too many questions left unanswered. Did they play well or horridly in those wins? Were the games called well? Is it just that the team lacks cohesiveness or is it really that they are not good players? (think of how many of the team members were around in '07...I don't believe it's the players.)

Second, MM would never get a boot in his healthy behind because his fat ass is not healthy (yours on the other hand...). What is it with coaches coming to GB and coming down with sudden onset obesity???

Third, it makes no sense to think of what would have been with Bates. He never got the permanent head coach gig and there has to be a reason for that. I don't see anything out of the Bucs' defense that indicates we'd be better off.

Best just to drink a lot because we have no control over any of this anyway.

I agree...partially. I think we're edging up to the time when it is soon enough to tell - we'll know in the next three games. If this team goes 5-8 and then wins out, is that really going to save MM's substantial butt?

I also don't agree with Bretsky or whomever it was who said MM for sure gets another year. Not if this team finishes like last year, I don't think he does.

I do think TT probably gets another year, maybe two, tops, if he fires MM at the end of this season.

It's too early, sure, but not by much any more.

Having said that, I would like nothing better than a strong, strong second half and some playoff wins.

[MJZiggy]

Well if we get playoff wins, it's a whole other ball game. There's no way they're gone then. (see why I think it's too early to tell?) But even if they don't go to the post season, I still think there's too much that could happen to affect a decision on whether to keep the two of them aside from straight wins/losses.

If this team finishes with 7 or more wins I think TTT brings MM back
TT has a pass; after all we're still the youngest team in the league

BRETSKY GUARANTEES A PACKER WIN

TAKE IT TO THE BANK!

Ah, you guys overestimate my powers.

7-4; take it to the bank

BRETSKY GUARANTEES A PACKER WIN



TAKE IT TO THE BANK!

For the LOVE OF GOD Bretsky, will you stop jinxing this team with shit like this??????

How'd he do that?

[Bretsky]

Bretsky is home from Lambeau and has no voice
Bretsky brought home a win per his guarantee

Besides being disappointed at the number of Cowboys fans, Bretsky thought the crowd was pretty intense tonight as were the players.

Good job Brett! I knew the double guarantee would lift the curse! That shit must have been rowdy as hell at Lambeau! What a great win.

[Bretsky]

And after Green Bay takes down the Cowboys, they beat San Fran, and Win at Detroit to get to 7-4.
I know I have little logic to base this on; perhaps it's new found kool aide I'm drinking after taking a day away from work.

I don't think our coaches are as bad as people give them credit for
I don't think TT is as good as people have given him credit for either
But at the end of the year I still think we're a borderline team that either barely makes or misses the playoffs.

Bretsky is back for another week of patting himself on the back for having stones
Last Week Bretsky predicated the Pack goes on a three game win streak to go 7-4 after losing to the 0-7 Bucs

Bretsky delievered the first strike to the Cowpies, and after watching Jerry Rice Fumble with his knee eighteen inches from the ground in the playoffs.......Bretsky has renewed his hatred of the San Francisco FortyWhiners

Bretsky has a glass of kool aide and thinks Singletary might be tempted to moon his team tomorrow

Bretsky thinks AROD will run an efficience offense and the Packer likes getting Finley back. Bretsky thinks the San Fran Offense will feel the effects of the DOMinator running our D

Tomorow we put a decent game together. The Turtleosophy supporters may even come out after our OL looks even a bit closer to average.

If we are to make the playoffs this year tomorrow is nearly a must win game.

I've been reading Nick Barnett's Twitters. Nick is ready. The Defense is Ready. And Bretsky is Ready for a solid game.

Once Again

This is a MUST WIN game folks
Just for the wildcard race tiebreaker we can't afford another NFC Home Loss

Green Bay is headed to 7-4

Bretsky Guarantees a Packer Win


TAKE IT TO THE BANK

[retailguy]

shouldn't you put this in the game thread?

[SnakeLH2006]

Snake is cool with Bretsky's post...considering he broke his curse and all. Take it to the bank.

[Bretsky]

shouldn't you put this in the game thread?

Nope; Karma; needs to start in here.

I can't remember if I made the guarantee in the game thread last week so I'll have to check and I'll follow what I did last week either way.


Cheers,

Actually, Brett you are right. You've never broken your curse before with guarantees (but my pic was about right....two double guarantee take it to the bank).....Let's not jinx it folks. Let Brett talk in here, cuz it's money.....in the bank!!! I'll keep this thread open all season if we keep winning and even rename it to the Bretsky:Take It to the Bank thread if we win tommorrow. Keep it real.

Actually...Bretsky is kinda cursed and said the same how he needs to keep the guarantees in here....Fuck it. I'm renaming this thread in Bretsky's honor. You deserve it Brett after last week. We'll see how far it goes. Take it to the Bank!!!
