Vince Lombardi would have your asses

...for all the doom and gloom talk. Just look at all the pessimistic posts!

To me, that game was won except for a bunch of critical "what ifs"...

What if Burnett runs?
What if HaHa knocks down that conversion?
What if we don't go conservative so early?
What if Bostick blocks?

I am encouraged that so many correctible little issues are the difference between that painful loss and beating the eventual Super Bowl team in the toughest road stadium in the NFL.

It reminds me a little of the 95 team getting jobbed by the officials in Dallas. I KNEW that if they called it straight the Packers were a Super Bowl team and they were the next two seasons.

I also don't see the window closing...Rodgers is still young and most of the roster, which gets plenty of refresh each year, is still young and deep.

To paraphrase St. Vincent...it isn't that you get knocked down that matters, it's how you get back up.

What if Ha-Ha dropped the INT?
What if Crosby missed the 2 48 yd fg's?
What if Baldwin did not lose the fumble?

I don't know why I'm posting these what ifs. But during any given game, there are always 2-4 what ifs that could have change the outcome of the game. Our game will always leave us wondering WTF happened and why.

But my #1 "What If" is the first 4th and 1 on the fricken 11" line.......

The issues are correctable, but they have yet to actually BE corrected. And it's been going on for years. This last shitstorm happened, because it WASN'T corrected.

Offensive line, which people have been complaining about for years is dramatically improved

Red zone troubles are new to this year
Giving up a TD on a fake FG, new.

The only problem I'm seeing that seems to follow us year to year is coming out in the second half flat.

A lot of those problems are correctable.
One problem that has been proven time and again not to be correctable, and that is McCarthy's coaching style.
He doesn't have the balls to crush a teams wind pipe and put them away.
I don't think that will ever change. He just doesn't seem to have it in him.

I am not sure it is in him to change.

Of the 3 phases of the game our offense is the best. Why we choose to change our philosophy in the 2nd half of games when we are winning is beyond me.

We talk about the Quarless drop as a killer. Why are we running a critical play to Quarless? If you don't want to draft/sign a top TE don't use them in a critical time. Those balls should go to Nelson or Cobb.

How do you think ok' Vince would have felt about CM3 being on the sidelined because he was exhausted when the game was still undecided?
Aaron Rodgers toughing it out on one leg, Sherman on Seattle with one arm, their other DB with a dislocated shoulder making tackles, and Matthews too tired to play?
Just a thought.

However, if he was on the sideline due to exhaustion, that might be because his balls were deflated.

Matthews is an awesome player for the most part, but I have some issues with him once in awhile.

I am chosen by many but taken by no one.

What really sucks is that we were the best team in football this year, but it wasn't in the cards. We have the players in place to make a very good run. Get Bulaga and Cobb signed on offense and dedicate the draft to reinforcing the defense. And for the love of God, cut Brad Jones and AJ Hawk.

Mucky Tundra (17h) : @DMRussini

Mucky Tundra (17h) : The Chicago Bears are very open for business at 9 and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price, per source

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend Penei Soul 4yrs - 112mil

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend St. Brown 4 years 120mil and

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

dfosterf (24-Apr) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

beast (24-Apr) : DT Byron Murphy II, Texas... whom some believe is the next Aaron Donald (or the closest thing to Donald)

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.
