Duds: those shocked we lost. What team have you guys been watching? Like seriously? The Packers are one of the 3 worst teams in the NFL this year. People think because we have Aaron Rodgers that’s an automatic W and winning record. This is not a good team at all. They have a boring easy to defense offense...mixed with a defense full of guys who would be backups anywhere else with a HC who can’t adjust or fix any issues. Hello top 5 pick!! Teams a joke
It's not that I'm shock. Well I'd be lying if I said I wasn't surprised, but it was a factor to a lot of things. For starters we were at home and typically our record is pretty decent at home compared to being on the road.
Second, it was against a hapless Cardinals team, in which I saw it as a way for us to regain our bearings as we make one last push into making the playoffs. It's not that I believe that Rodgers automatically equals a win, if that was the case he would've won countless rings for us right now, it's just that we've been here and in spite of it all we always managed to find a way. Like your typical story.
I know that's a silly way to look at it, and I was well aware of the odds being stacked against us, but with everything that's been going on in regards to the threads and everything like that, I thought the least I could do was help everyone cling on to that small glimpse of hope in regards to making it into the playoffs. B/c really that's all we have. Was I kidding myself in regards to us having a chance, in retrospect sure now that this is pretty much the nail in the coffin, but how many times have we've seen The Packers beat the odds and found a way in spite of everything. The defense has improved and we've seen glimpses of the offense. To me I saw it as connecting all the pieces to the puzzle.
Then on top of that you have people hoping we lose, and asking as to what reason is there to like this team. It just bothered me. I know we've been spoiled and this is truly a slice of humble pie. I just tried to look and give things from a different perspective in regards to the team and that this wasn't as bad as everyone was making it to be. Again was I fooling myself, sure. But the way I saw it was too easy for us to give up in spite of everything.
I don't know it just feels like someone sucked all the fight out of me. I got nothing now. I hate to say that because I love this team endlessly and have been defending them for the most part of the year, and now I look like a complete fool.
