Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance

[Joemailman]

At least with Brett Favre they got there in back to back seasons.

The Packers and Aaron Rodgers blew a golden opportunity to at least get back to the BIG SHOW another time yesterday.

MM and Aaron Rodgers and today not even Packer Nation know why that is the case.

We've got posters in here that actually want to blame that loss on an insignificant Brandon Bostick.

Sure.....

Before that game it was often mentioned in here:

That Brandon Bostick's contribution was vital to a Green Bay Packer victory in Seattle.

Seriously? Who said that?

Shirley you're not saying that Brandon Bostick was insignificant to that game...

Seriously? Who said that?

He's being Woodbuck facetious. his argument is that Bostick was never considered a critical element BEFORE the game, so therefore he shouldn't be pointed to AFTER the game to have done more (like Rodgers). It's a crazy Woodbuck half argument. Bostick is a nobody, who inserted himself into the game in the worst possible way. But he shouldn't be blamed - Stubby and Rodgers - or someone else with more influence should be blamed. It's a half-assed argument, but it makes half sense.

Joe do you have a higher resolution of that balloon photo? Made my broadband look like AOL in 1995.

well, I reached acceptance a while ago and now I'm into the post-acceptance phase of boredom and reality - thinking about the long six months of no football ahead. Time to move on. Cheerio, Packerrats!

Oops. Got it. Any player on the field though in that situation is significant and needs to do his job.

There is a name for fans who define their fandom by the bitter recoil of defeat rather than the thrill of chasing titles and that name is vikings fan.

I'm getting there quickly. I had quick anger for about 5 minutes after the game then just felt blah. Today I just keep thinking that I want to just quit watching football and do something more productive with my Sundays. By the time I get back to work tomorrow and deal with the flurry of emails from my scatterbrained manager, this one will be in the rearview.

I keep telling myself that I'm not going to watch the Superbowl, but I probably will.

It could be worse... instead of coming off of a game where Green Bay re-established it's spot in the elite teams we could be Broncos fans staring into an abyss of uncertainty. The Packers have a core of good young players and probably 6 good years of Rodgers yet.

You can put my name on that Woodbuck in blaming Bostick for his play yesterday. I put my name on it.

And yet Mr. Bostick's play yesterday had a giant impact on the game.

It can always be better, but it can also get worse.

I am always an underdog type of guy so since NE will most likely be the underdog, I will root for them. Plus I get revenge on them goddamn lucky Seachickens. Most likely will listen to it to kill time on my way back from Colorado.

This is my thought. The Packers are a better team than they were 2 years ago. That's not easy to do when you're picking 20-30 in the draft every year and paying your QB 20 million. Packers, Seahawks and Patriots are the elite teams in the NFL right now.

I get the impression from Rodgers comments yesterday that he is getting impatient too. Anybody think he restructures to take one for the team? Would be nice to find some money to sign a veteran TE. TE probably the biggest need, after cutting Hawk and Jones...

Restructuring isn't going to be a problem this year. The salary cap is taking a large jump. The problem with that is that contracts will be bigger go forward. Cobb's contract will be bigger than Jordys simply because the economic picture has changed.
