  • embrace the tank...

    because it's NOT getting much better for 2017. it'll be a miracle if they win 2 more games. this isn't an angry rant. i'm calm, just being realistic. i don't think they're intentionally tanking but that IS what's happening. they're in the tank and headed to the bottom. so...embracing the tank is better than getting/staying angry. realize a 4-12 record gets the Packers a 10-15 draft pick and a 4th place schedule in 2018. if this happens the ONLY way it's going to be beneficial for 2018 is if Capers and Ted Thompson are gone. a change in defensive, talent acquisition philosophy and evaluation, has to happen. new voices have to be heard. i don't think there's any way Capers and TT survive this. they will be encouraged to retire. so...smile the rest of the way. embrace 4-12 and the tank. better times are right around the corner.

      4-12 last year got the 4th pick in the draft.
      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.

          Like I said in another thread - having a year like this might be blessing in disguise. The team won't consciously tank but with the issues at QB and on the defense this is what will eventually happen. We'll get a top 10 pick and higher picks in subsequent rounds this spring to infuse the team with better talent than we've been able to acquire since 2009 when we picked Raji and Clay in the first round. As our defense gets hammered every week it will finally become obvious that a change has to be made on that side of the ball. It took the epic ST meltdown against Seattle in the NFCC game to get Stubby to fire Slocum.

            Thought the thread title might mean something else...

            This bad season might be just the tonic the club needs.

            A draft with many top 6 picks.

              I'm interested to see how Hundley develops the rest of the way along with the the younger players. Definitely not expecting wins. Make the best of a bad situation and get a stud in the early selections.

                    This thread is mistitled.

                    It should be called Embrace the Suck.

                        Yeah it is REALLY awesome to tank considering the 1st round pick history TT has.

                          a pick in the top 10 would be a no-brainer even he couldn't mess up. hopefully HE isn't making the picks next draft.
