Kelvin Bryant

Extra points for the rare triple negative, obscuring the statement that the pick was, in fact, made without conviction.

That's "For all intents and purposes."

The implication is that nobody on the staff understood them. I have no trouble whatsoever believing this.

Remember last winter when the coaching staff decided this team was on the verge of greatness, and only being held back by its free-agent QB? Good times, good times.

Surely there are other forums where you can yammer away about your Packers.

Sorry.. what forum are we on again?

Since Carson is no longer on the team, does that mean we can't talk about him anymore?

Now do Heinicke.

I, too, would like to believe that the team took "the next step" under Rivera. But I don't.

Heinicke wound up 27 of 41 for 275 yards. Two TDs no picks. Fumbled once, took 4 sacks. He missed a couple of throws but made a remarkable 4th down conversion to keep hope alive in the 4th quarter. He also held onto the ball when he was blasted at the goal line. This in a tough road game against a playoff contender, and without much help from his O-line. I would count this as a pretty solid performance.

This is oddly disturbing.

Probably better to head off the possibility than to react to it after the fact. The DEs last year put on a clinic in freelancing.

Can you imagine winning 5 of the last 6?

This seems reasonable to me except that I don't think the pass was 5 yards short. A yard or so higher and a couple of yards to the left and he might have had a completion. It's still a mistake, of course, but not the completely brain-dead hopeless throw into triple coverage that it first appeared.

I'm now cheering for TH to take the team to the Super Bowl just to see half the posters here set themselves on fire.
