It's not a difficult concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebpackfan Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 As frustrating as it was to witness, this really might have been for the best. Packers are more likely to move on from Barry (they don’t have to fire him, his contract is up). This team is gonna get destroyed by good teams in the playoffs anyway, one more reg season loss means little if we beat the Vikings and Bears, and if we don’t, meh, we’ll get a decent draft pick.

"This team didn't achieve the well known, objective, clear-cut scores required to win a match, but they deserved it!" Spare me that BS unless it was a super clear reffing job or something 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much starch in your underwear this morning PR? "Deserve" means you should've gotten something based on merit. Maybe you got it, maybe you didn't. The Packer's didn't merit a win last night. How's that? Had they finished with more points, they still didn't merit a win last night. The outcome was deserved. You don't win many games with all those turnovers.

Mazrimiv Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Neither team did enough to "deserve" a win, but GB had Barry as the DC with the game on the line, so... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup .. your fault for really thinking Barry is/was a decent coordinator. He has cost the Packers with his defensive schemes 3-5 games when they had the lead in the 2nd half this year and lost.

If you "play well" yet still fail to achieve the basic objective of the game, which is scoring more than your opponent, did you really "play well"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
