Packers win 4 straight playoff games to get to that spot - fairly unlikely they were going to win another 5.
See ya next year 👋🏼🙂

Good point. The Packers have invested in a whole "district". They can't afford to shit the bed for a decade or two. It's not 1975 anymore.
Dang. Thought we had that one. At least we won’t lose to the 49ers in the playoffs…..again.
@MichiganPacker posted:The Packers needed a conversion to keep the season alive and the Lions blitzed the house.
The Lions needed a conversion to end the game and Joe Barry called a prevent defense.
And dumbass Rodgers just chucked it with 3 timeouts left.

Yep, and that was 4 down territory. He chips away all night and then when he needed to grind out some yards he's throwing rocket balls.

I'd actually rather have him throw that in the field of play even if it's an interception. The correct read is probably just to throw it away and punt, but they didn't get the ball back anyway. It wouldn't have mattered if they picked up the additional 10-15 yards after a punt instead of the interception.
The Lions completely outschemed the Packers on that play call. Just like they outschemed them on many calls in both games.

They would have punted on 4th and 10. There was no option on that route combination for a check down. MLF called a play anticipating coverage. Instead, the Lions blitzed the house.

You're more pathetic than Rodgers throwing the ball up for grabs. A legend in your own mind.
You’re my sunshine.

MLF got outsmarted. He needed to realize Campbell would do unconventional things because he had nothing to lose. It never should have gotten to 3rd or 4th and 10. They had to move the sticks and that means 5-10 yard throws. The Lions probably would have given them the underneath stuff for 30--40 yards of field position. And not having a outlet on the 3rd down was stupid. But that's just some of the problems. This team has no fear of MLF when they do stupid stuff Douglas and Walker did. And Wyatt showed how smart he is too, he just got lucky.

It may not have been a playoff game in name, but it sure as hell should have been treated like one by every single person involved in the Packers organization.
The fucking equipment manager should have been doing push-ups, and playing “Eye of the Tiger” before the game.
This was sudden death. And after winning their last four games, with their season on the line, they came out and laid a giant turd. And this team does this far too often under MLF.
Forget the 39-10 regular season record after three years. Rodgers did that. Rodgers and Adams, with Jones.
Now that Adams is gone, and Rodgers has regressed, whatever the reason might be, we’re seeing MLF’s complete inability to adjust. Worse yet, he appears to have the “loyalty” gene McCarthy had. He doesn’t have what it takes to make the tough choice when it comes to his coaching staff. So, Berry will be here for the foreseeable future.

What’s truly sad? We all saw it coming. Because hitting a 50 yard pass is so much sexier than just moving the chains a number of times.
There was enough time on the clock, with those timeouts, where we could have put the ball into the end zone. But that wouldn’t have added to Rodgers’s legend.
I believe Rodgers controls more of the offense than Lafleur because he doesn't have enough balls to control him.

And that's the part that is so frustrating. He's on the downside, yet thinks he's still on the upside and is smarter than everyone else. If he doesn't think so, I hope someone sits him down and plays just these two Lions games to him over and over and over...
Stole this quote:
People who thought the Lions wouldn't be motivated to win after being eliminated clearly don't understand the power of spite.

The story about Rodgers running his own offense separate from MLF’s offense is 100% true, and that is an indictment on MLF, not on Rodgers.

Lock him in a room with Cobb and he can do whatever stupid drugs he was using in the offseason.
That's still a huge moral victory for the Lions even though their season is over. That's a lot to build on for next season. When is the last time they beat the Packers twice? Joe Schmidt was probably playing MLB for them.
As bad as Rodgers looked this year I doubt he has much trade value at all. They could have set the roster up for the next 5 years had they sent him to Denver last offseason.
While the end of the season was disappointing it wasn’t surprising.
If Rodgers still wants to play get what you can for him in trade and let the Love era begin.
The early fourth-down play to Lazard that was unsuccessful.

Exactly. Saw that when it happened. How can Rodgers not see that?
Lions really appeared to be the team fighting for a playoff berth and the Packers the team with nothing to play for. That's a direct reflection on the head coach.
Thing about DET is they seem to always play like that. That's a young hungry team that will only get better in the off-season. Have we become the Bears to them? Though not completely unprecedented a lot of stupid shit seems to happen when playing them.

Nothing like 4th and 2 and the entire second level 4-6 yds deep

Good Lord. You got 34 moving away from the middle, Jenkins has leverage on 86, Runyon and Meyers double team the DT and then Meyers slips off and gets Barnes, Rodgers may have run for a TD. For sure Mahomes or Allen would have.

Too bad that's how the receiving corps was "built". Watson is a home run swing. Doubs, reputation built as a home run swing. Toure? A home run swing. Cobb and Lazard? Middling veterans who can't beat defenders with any consistency. The offensive talent is built for strikeouts and long shots in the passing game.
@RochNyFan posted:It's Deja vous all over again. How can the offense struggle this much against league's bottom ranked D?
Maybe the league rankings were wrong? I was listening to the Packers Radio Network while watching the game on TV. Larry McCarren always brings up the League stats on our opponent. Lions were like 30th in defense, per Larry, so why bring it up? The Lions looked top 10 against the Packers, last night. As I've said here, often, the Lions always play us tough. Stats be damned!

Just look at those two throws downfield that were picked off by the Lions rookie Safety. It's as if Rodgers did not even see that DB, or dared him to make a play on it, when he threw the ball. He just chucked it up there and prayed a Packer would go get it. The INT pass to Jones was thrown way too deep and late, allowing that Safety to grab it, easily.
We are in the Packers' off season, now. 8-9, just like the vikings, last season. That leaves an awful taste in one's mouth, doesn't it? Now, we get to deal with salary cap issues and the inevitable cuts, restructures, that will come from that. First comes the Draft. What positions do we go after, there? What positions do we get, there? This is the first time in ages, that I can remember, that we get a higher draft pick than the vikings. What/whom do we spend it on? Safety? O Lineman?, RB? WR? TE? There is always something to talk about on X4!
I want to apologize publicly about what happened Sunday night. I reacted off of my emotions again and take full responsibility of making another stupid decision. Since then I’ve questioned myself on why did I do what I did when the trainer was doing his job!! I was wrong!!

He's got a lot of potential and hopefully he learns from the mistake.
That was quite the play, could have had 3 guys gone. 3 will be fined, heavily I hope.
Methinks Quay is looking at a multi-game suspension to start the next season.
The Packers were lucky they didn't get beat much worse considering Detroit penalties, that had no impact on the play, wiped out an INT and a TD. Rodgers has really lost his pinpoint accuracy and ability to throw the deep ball. It really was a wasted season by not getting Love on the field the last 4-5 games.
@ilcuqui posted:Methinks Quay is looking at a multi-game suspension to start the next season.
Not sure on that.
I am real curious about what the cap looks like if ar retires...there is allegedly a bunch of savings that happens, so no trade, just retire...
