Serious question: what HC candidate in their right mind would want to come here?

The issue was not the winning/losing IMO.  It's that there has been 0 growth.  It's actually gotten worse as the season went on.  No potential to build on.

 

Yeah completely understood but sometimes that growth does take time to manifest itself. Of course it's a balance with no exact answer -- no team these days is going to give a coach 5 losing seasons and a .500 season before finally winning (like Tom Landry) on that extreme end of the long leash spectrum. But 11 games is really just too short of a time to properly evaluate a coach. I didn't like the idea of getting Reich in the first place and obviously he's sucked so I'm happy we're moving on, but sending a message to candidates that the leash can be that short just isn't good. Maybe it won't wind up mattering and we can land Ben Johnson or whoever but we probably should've waited until after the season. I'd also have considered just keeping Reich and Bryce next year to give them a last chance to turn things around or alternatively (more likely) be some excellent tank commanders for our '25 pick. '25 would be a better time to hire a coach for this franchise too.

 

This team since Tepper took over has been simultaneously rebuilding and trying to compete and flip flopping between the two, which has us in this terrible limbo of suck. In years where we should be rebuilding we've traded away draft capital for win-now players like Gilmore, and then Tepper decides we have huge expectations and want to compete immediately this year, after having just traded away DJ and McCaffrey -- who would probably be our 2 best players on the entire team right now if they were still here (maybe Brown has an argument over DJ, but no other player is in the discussion). Just further evidence of Tepper having no idea what he's doing

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
