Embrace the Tank

[texaspackerbacker]

As shameful and disgraceful as these "tank" shitheads are, it makes you wonder what the fans are like for traditionally good teams doing far worse than the Packers (Patriots, etc.) as well as the fans of the chronic losers (too numerous to list).

Beating K.C. will be a monumental task, but I wouldn't rule it out. Beating the damn Vikings anyplace absolutely should happen - they couldn't even beat the Bears on what apparently was a bad night for Fields. The Packers should run the table after the Chiefs game. It sure would be nice to win that one too.

Tex, I thought the season was doomed so I moved on to wanting a higher draft pick. Now that the young offense is clicking i want to win. In a lost season, it’s not that idiotic to start thinking ahead to better future players.

I definitely jumped the gun. There was always hope that young guys would figure it out, but some guys never do. Turns out we have some good ones. I’m glad it turned around. Having a legit team is always better than tanking, it just didn’t feel like we had the guns a few weeks ago. Didn’t feel like love was it either.

Good for you. You're on a roll tonight.

It was always my issue with tanking. The only way it happens is if guys keep playing for shit. I didn't "want" that, but I wasn't positive they would improve enough to beat a Detroit at home on thanksgiving. Now that its clear they CAN win on any given sunday, we should want the playoffs. Because the other option is that Love doesn't continue to impress and other things go wrong. Discussing what to do if the team doesn't improve isn't, as tex puts it, gaddamn foolish stupid talk. Its just the natural order of us sucking so bad for a 5 game stretch.

[RashanGary]

Agree for sure, bobble. Love has opened the door to possibly beating the odds and being better than most of us thought. Anyone hoping for a draft pick over him showing he’s a stud is an imbecile as Tex puts it. A few weeks ago I was giving up, but I was way wrong on that. Everyone who could get better did and there’s a lot of times guys never get better. We just lucked into back to back good drafts.

I'd like to thank Bobble for single handedly f'cking up my idea of a high draft pick by runnning several wins led by his Game Day Threads

You giving up? Packers are only 1 game from a top 5 pick. https://www.tankathon.com/nfl

I already waved the flag and surrendered my bus as my Embrace the Tank/getting Marelous Marvin and sending JOE BARRYBALL packing spirts have been crushed . I'm blaming Bobble for the thread streak

Wow, Joe, that is crazy how much parity of mediocrity there is this year.

Wow, Joe, that is crazy how much parity of mediocrity there is this year.

It's the wet dream of the NFL - eveybody's j-u-s-t within reach of a playoff spot, so all the games seem "important." Now we have fourteen out of thirty-two teams getting into the playoffs, which means if you're just slightly slightly above average (if you assume an average team is like a median team - sixteenth of thirty-two), you're in. I'm guessing the next step will be to make the argument they've created with this system that, since some "deserving" teams just barely missed out, they'll have to expand to sixteen playoff teams. You wait and see.

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 )

TIME FOR A BUMPEROOSKI

THE GREATER GOOD

Packers with the 11th pick!

Packers with the 11th pick!

In close proximity of picks 5-9

I think Gute could hit on a trench player if he was that high.

If you have to have a tank year


Having your qb pan out
Having 5 or 6 skill guys pan out
Looking solid on OL, DL, EDGE, CB


Having your DC, safeties and ILB be the biggest problems along with uncertainty at RB…. Those are the who’s who of easiest positions to fill later in the draft or cheaper in FA


And there aren’t many good TEs in the league. We might have two.


There are some ideal aspects to this tank job.

If Green Bay’s
Defense looks bad against Carolina and the bears and they lose at least 2 of the last theee it might be near impossible for the flower to bring his rose bud back to direct the defense next year. I just lack faith in the flower. Embrace the greater good ! Embrace the Tank !
