No, but had next week or in 3 weeks been a loss, repeat and rinse.
That's the point some of us are trying to make. Over reactions to one game and the doom and gloom being painted by some posters is just over the top hilarious. I mean go ahead, have your melt downs, throw your hissy fits. However, it really doesn't take much of a Football fan to look at this season, the Packers youth, their upcoming draft war chest of picks, as well as finally getting cap healthy, to be pretty confident that this won't be the Packers final run at a SB in the next 10 years.
I agree with a lot of this.
Step away from the ledge. lol
I too thought those 9er players were chippy buggers. The refs should have nipped some of that crap in the bud right away.
I suppose so. I'm just bummed that we didn't finish yesterday. I guess knowing how often you come up short is what makes you appreciate those special runs like 2010 more that nobody saw coming. Near the end of the 3rd quarter I felt like this team had a chance to do that same thing.Sounds like fun living in your house...
There is absolutely the chance that this is as far as Jordan Love ever gets, but I'm not going to spend one minute of the offseason thinking that way. Otherwise life is depressing.
This might sound funny, but I bet you a lot of 49'er fans aren't fully happy about the outcome of that game either. Yes, they got the win and get to play in the NFCCG. However, it took 2 dropped sure interceptions and a rookie kicker ****ting the bed to get there. Add to that, Deebo got hurt, Purdy looked bad in the rain and a 7th seeded team knocked your team around a good part of the night. Yes, 49'er fans are thankful to advance, but if I was in their shoes, doubts would be creeping in after that game.
This team gained 2-3 years of lessons in one season. They learned the offense. They learned how to play through adversity. They learned sometimes you lose games you shouldn't and sometimes you win when you shouldn't. Then they learned to weather injuries. They learned how to win in the playoffs. They learned how it feels to lose in the playoffs. Those are stages every team goes through in learning how to become champions. It usually takes a good team 2-3 seasons to learn all of that, and they got to learn it all in just ONE.
They also learned that they have a pretty darn good QB in Jordan Love. With only 1 year left on his contract, THAT might have been the most valuable lesson of the season. Going into the offseason, I have no doubts that the Packers will want to extend Jordan and give him a pretty decent size contract. Now that might sound scary, but what would they have done if Love had a bad year or at least an inconclusive year?
Eric Wilson, fumble recovery.
And people forget that Lombardi lost his first NFL Championship 17-13 in 1960 to the Eagles in a game in which the Packers clearly outplayed the opponent. Lombardi regretted some of the decions he made and the plays they used.
I get you I’m not unhappy maybe a little since yesterday, but good or bad season people vent, let’s see what happens next year
I agree. This officiating crew and short arming every Packer spot and at least 5 SF non calls point to the NFL and gambling. Soon it will be unwatchable and fixed entertainment. Take a dive!
Yeah, I'm not down on Love, still think he's the guy and going to be a great one. Even the great ones have struggled in the playoffs at times. Peyton Manning generally sucked in the playoffs. We're fine.
I think if the Packers had a center like Frank Ragnow we make that 4th and 1 or even the 3rd and 1. This is what can make or break a red zone offense. With that said we only committed ONE penalty last night. Best of the season. So the focus was there. We forced 4 Niner punts and 2 very long FG attempts. To beat the Niners you have to play almost a perfect game. And we came up short. It's a game of inches.
He is trying sometimes to do it all himself. He saw Rodgers move down the field in the last minute with 2 throws to Adams enabling Crosby to beat the Niners. He watched a lot of ARod in crunch time. He will get wiser and he will get better.
A lot of pluses and pleasant surprises. The downers were among it all : No Bahk, letting Douglas go, losing all those games to non- playoff teams, Carlson ineptitude, the injuries. Now on to 2024.
Every season new bunch of excuses.
What I mean is that Wilkes is a better DC than Barry. If the Packers could get Wilkes and dump Barry it would be an upgrade even though it's purely hypothetical given that Wilkes is very likely to not take another DC job before he gets a chance at a HC position. If you want to wash, rinse and repeat, by all means bring back Barry. I'd rather be a serious SB contender which they won't be with Barry. He has a proven track record.
