Embrace the Tank

[Bretsky]

I'd argue that Love right now is better than Cousins ever was.

Good luck validating that argument

[Fosco33]

4 of pack’s six losses have come by a combined 11 points. If we can start winning those close ones…

I’d never opening suggest tanking - but the playoff chances are mostly on these next 2 hard games. Could lose and still finish 9-8 and likely miss. Last 5 games all are winnable.

But lose these next 2 and any one of the last 5 games and I don’t think you should trot out injured starters and win at all costs for the final semi meaningless games.

Win one of these 2 vs Lions or Chiefs and it changes it completely w/ playoff mentality.

I would like to add this; in regards to E.T.T. a.ka. EMBRACE THE TANK

I remain in the middle on Jordan Love. When the E.T.T. was pimped by me earlier this year, it has THREE MAIN THINGS in mind

1. Marvelous Marvin Harrison....the best player in college football --- I want to watch his Hall of Fame Ride in Green Bay. Yes of course I want a stud QB; but I was M Squared in GB more
2. Super Bowl or Bust. I want Championships! We're not getting one this year. We have many needs to fill in the draft.........And we are NOT getting one with the THIRD THEME
3. BarryBall. Joe Barry needs to go yesterday and IMO that is tied to giving us a shot for a Super Bowl in our near future. Last week was our perfect shot, if that WR could catch a pass, to take a major stop towards the Barry Ball. He needs to be gone yesterday. Flower is covering his ass with everything he's got. E.T.T...for the greater good. And for those who condemn and give E.T.T. no merit at all..............don't go calling for Joe Barry to be removed. The Flower has his back

I say again, I don't think the younger bigger version of Marvin Harrison is gonna be all that super - good probably, but not Randy Moss good for example of a bigger faster WR.

I also say again, the hell with "Super Bowl or Bust". I'll be very pleased with a nice string of 13-4 or 14-3 seasons.

I agree with you about Barry needing to go and a good rest of the season making that less likely. That's absolutely NOT a reason to E T T, though.

I seriously doubt LaFleur is just keeping Barry around to enable losing/tanking. Far more likely is he really does have some misguided respect for Barry and his scheme.

WE
First off Tex, I enjoy debating/arguing with you, even though you are pretty much wrong in nearly all of our debates. Ok, now back to your notes

1. You are wrong. MMH squared in the best player in college football. Barring injury, he's going to be a Hall of Famer. Who is our last Hall of Fame WR ? James Lofton from the 80's ? Not that I'd ever bait, you, but I'd welcome one of your bold predictions that any current Packer WR will have a better career than MARVELOUS Marvin Harrison Squared

2. I remember Championships. I'm so jealous of the run Hoody Genius, Hoody Genius Jr, and TB had. Being good to decent...anybody can be that. CHAMPIONSHIPS !!

3. Embrace the Tank believes in Championships and the Greater Good. It's obvious Flower boy is going to do everything he can to keep his friend/buddy on the staff. E.T.T. is the ANTI BARRYBALL. The concept believes GB never wins a champtionship with BarryBall.

I don't fault you Tex; by settling for decency, you become content, and in a sense, embrace BarryBall )

The only way we get rid of Barry is for this team to continue to lose. Lafleur has made it abundantly clear that he will defend and stick up for Barry whenever possible. It will take a horrific collapse for him to be jettisoned.

Gute (or the next Gute) might force the issue.

[King Friday]

Gute ain’t going anywhere yet. Love will need to fall apart for Gute to feel the heat, and that hasn’t happened yet.

Murphy replacement is the wildcard though

[Bretsky]

Barryball is here to stay unless it comes from above

If his D plays like it did today then I welcome it....but its one game. I'm not excited for his new contract yet.

When we played prevent today it was giving up 5 yards underneath and make the tackle. In the past prevent meant 20 yards, 47 seconds to score.

[King Friday]

Murphy replacement is the wildcard though

The Murphy position is far more about running the business side of the Packers. That person isn’t going to rock the boat on the football side of the business unless something gets sideways. Nothing is even remotely close to sideways at this point.

[texaspackerbacker]

Have the idiots pushing this tank shit given it up yet? No? Well, fuck 'em.

I tend to agree about Murphy, but that being the case, why hire a former player? There probably just as qualified or more people from other backgrounds.

This bus is still running strong; when you win a Super Bowl you can blow it up
