8-8 doesn't seem that unreasonable until you notice that we have Marvin coaching and, even as a long-time Marvin defender, I don't think we have a shot.
If he keeps attacking Green Bay when we were up 14, we win that game, but he got into his typical Marvin ball of calling off the dogs and playing not to lose instead of playing to win, and Rodgers tore us apart.
Very seldom do we keep the pressure on when we have the lead. We got what, a field goal in the second half? As usual, the other team makes halftime adjustments, and we don't. I guess we didn't think we needed any since the first half went well. The new coordinator did seem to bring life into the team, at least for a half. Dalton still overthrew wide open receivers, and his dumb grins are getting almost as annoying as Marvin's blank stares. I'm at and have been at the point where I'd just as soon lose every freaking game, hopefully get a real coach, and perhaps a QB and an O-line that is more than "serviceable" as well. Realistically, we're not going anywhere this year, maybe we can just do a competent job at being what we really are...a bad football team with no real leadership or direction, get the high draft pick and reset for next year. Even if we accomplish being bad correctly, I can't imagine getting a coach that's a difference maker. Watching football channel yesterday and the nightmare of Herm Edwards came on..... please MB don't let that happen, get a real staff just once... an experienced coordinator with real potential for a coach, and a complete new staff...I think the fans and the players both deserve it!!
