Guest *KNK* Report post Posted October 30, 2005 The Packers lost to a damn good Bengals team by just 7 points, and aside from their opening week loss, 14-3 at Detroit, they have lost byno more than 3 points up until this week. They could easily be 5-2 or maybe 6-1 witha few breaks, and they're doing really well considering they're without their best receiver, Javon Walker, their best running back, Ahman Green, Najeh Davenport, and others. With those guys, they'd have a much better record, but even without, they're barely losing. In the sorry NFC North, they could still win the division at 8-8. Still, it hurts to see them lose so often... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> going 7-2 for the rest of the season would be an incredible daunting task for the Packers (Pit, ATL, PHI, CHI, DET, BALT, CHI, SEA)...I can see maybe 4 wins out of that stretch. 7-9 could be enough to win out the NFC North. I wouldn't put hopes on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BruiserKC 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2005 I gotta ask... What was Jeff Garcia doing in there after the hit to the head that he took late in the 4th? Looked to me like he was concussed. You don't want a concussed QB in there in overtime; case in point, today. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The Lions have zero faith in Harrington now...short of Garcia being carried off the field on a stretcher they weren't putting Joey back in. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Even so, you need every decision in overtime to be a good one, as one bad decision means the end of the game. As bad as Harrington's been, he's more likely to make the right decision at that point than Garcia was. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Harrington's years of poor judgments and stagnant, un-improving performance is the deal also. With what they built around Detroit with Rogers, Williams, and Kevin Jones...there was NO excuse for being as stale as they are right now. Orton doesn't have that type of firepower around him...although Muhammad, Benson, and Thomas Jones are nothing to sneeze at. But you see the improvement every week with him and Orton can be the Bears QB of the future. Harrington's pretty much done in Detroit unless Garcia just completely breaks down...even then it's not a guarantee he'll see anymore snaps in D-town.

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted October 30, 2005 Wow, I'm shocked, seriously shocked that the Eagles have really disappointed this year. What in all f'ing hell is wrong with them? Is it a tougher schedule this year, or anyone really important that they've lost, coaching, McNabb, what? Something about Jeff Garcia for Lions fans to remember, is that he was really rushed back, probably too quickly, from a broken ankle, and hasn't gotten enough time to get comfortable with the offense to truly be effective yet in Detroit. Maybe the Giants are the best team in the NFC, and noone in the AFC outside of Indy looks really intimidating... You know what that means!

the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2005 I feel bad for the defense. It is bad enough playing a solid offense, but when your own offense can't give you more than a 3 play break you're a sitting duck. Granted they aren't playing great themselves, but they are getting no help. And McNabb just flat out sucks right now. He is back to throwing at gophers instead of to receivers. A big part of it lately has been the coaching, though. The last few games they have taken no shots downfield. Combine that with the lack of running plays and the defense can just line up everyone right at the line of scrimmage and go after them. If McNabb's injury is what is preventing them from going downfield, it is time to put McMahon in because they will not win this way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2005 I don't mind him not getting the surgery before. Either way the decision was going to look bad at some point. But it has become apparent that there are too big of problems to continue. This team may limp into the playoffs, but they are not a title team right now so what is really the point. PLayoffs are worthless. Here is a link to an Eagles MB some of you might enjoy reading right now. Eagles MB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
