Playoffs? Are you fucking kidding me, playoffs? We couldn’t even punch the rock in in the 2nd half against the hapless Carolina Pussycats! I have better odds of wooing Olivia Reiner than the Packers have of winning the fucking Super Bowl!

[The Shadow]

The Packers might consider eliminating the countless quick- throws- in- the- flat -to- wide receivers-for-1-one-yard-gains.

[GB-Brandon]

They just can’t seem to put a complete together for whatever reason and they will need to do very soon or the season will be over.

[Tony Oday]

the Packers did not care about the game after the 21 points. I think they were just trying random stuff.

You mean Pack can't match the consistency of the Rams (J-E-T-S!!!) or the Colts (blew a 2 td lead in fourth quarter to lowly Texans) or Sea Squawks (Giants!)? Most teams have warts, Packers doing a pretty good job managing theirs and showing up when it counts.

Those teams also have convincing wins though. The Packers appear to be more or less sleep walking for quite some time now.

The Chiefs have won 6 consecutive games by one score.

The Chiefs have won 6 consecutive games by one score.

And 4 of those teams are in playoff contention with 3 making the playoffs if season ended today(all on the road).

[GB-Brandon]

My god. Rodgers even came out and said the Packers aren’t winning in the Playoffs with the way they have been playing. Get over it!!!

Tied for fourth best in NFL in point differential. 2+ score wins in second half of season vs. San Fran, Chicago and Philly. I have no problem with glass-half-empty perspectives, it helps to balance out the Tex's of the world, but your glass has a permanent hole in it!

"Get over it," writes the poster who needs to get over himself already.

[George Cumby]

My god. Rodgers even came out and said the Packers aren’t winning in the Playoffs with the way they have been playing. Get over it!!!

So the fuck what?

Hardly the first time a QB or other team leader has called out the team on their quality of play.

If the Pack plays up to their potential they can do well in the playoffs.

If they play their best and get lucky they may make the Owl and might even win it.

They don't play up to their potential, they might be one and done.

So what? The mere fact we are having this conversation, that they have the inside track to the #1 seed is great.

You are so tiresome.

[GB-Brandon]

I’m not gonna argue about it. Rodgers said what needed to be said. If they can’t figure out to expand the playbook with the talent they have and stop the run and play sound special teams the one seed will all be for nothing.

Enjoy the ride; I love winning and we're doing a ton of it.

You've put yourself in a pretty unique position. Only one team of 32 wins it all. You seem to have put yourself in position to declare yourself right if we're not that one team

I've hammered on Gutebag plenty and I still detest the Love selection when their were WR's out there who IMO would be our 2nd most talented WR option.

But I'm enjoying the ride while it lasts.

If/when Gutebag kicks an elite QB for the Curb a year or more early for the Love Machine than I'll joint the 'what a dumbfck train"

But right now in this horrid time I'm going to enjoy the ride, even when it doesn't take us to a Super Bowl victory this year.
