I'm so glad the packers lost because I don't think I can handle various news outlets sucking his dick about being the second coming non-stop, when really he's just a really good quarterback on an average team.

He'd do so much better in pretty much any franchise.

The packers are one knee injury away from becoming the Giants.

Was bored at work so worked out the Pythagorean wins for the NFL. Turns out the Packers and Lions are pretty much exactly where they expect.

On the other hand the Bills are 5th most overperforming team in the league...at 2-5. lol

He knows he's on his way out. Fat Mike Frankenstein's-monstered him into being a mediocre RB and Aaron Jones is now clearly the better guy to be in that position. He could transition back to receiver maybe, but he's probably just frustrated because he's cooperated with having his position in the team be constantly moved around and now his playing time is getting cut.

What polls are you looking at? Evers has been like 3-4 points up for like 3 months now.

I'm not arguing against the spirit of this but it would apply better if Crosby kept audibleing into fake FGs instead of missing it. Montgomery doesn't deserve death threats obviously tho.

Whatever the specific gritty details of the situation is, I think after tonight's interview it's clear that the relationship between Montgomery and the rest of the team has been irreparably damaged. Not only is the team upset at his insubordination and massive screwup, he's also (understandably) upset at the rest of the team for talking to the media about his issues when he's had a solid history of keeping that stuff inside the locker room and doing what was needed to help the team -- until very recently, anyway.

He needs to be traded somewhere else where he can get a clean start.

There is far too much talent right now at receiver for Monty to make a splash. I doubt he's better than even J'Mon Moore, who's a healthy scratch because he can't beat out ESB and MVS.

Monty doesn't really have a place on the team as it stands right now, unfortunately.

I would be more confident in this if not for widespread GOP suppression. I think Evers has a solid chance -- but then again, after all, Hillary did as well. We saw how that turned out.

I voted last week and have been on the edge of my seat waiting for the horrific result next week.

The polls were correct; the prognosticators weren't. Silver called a, what was it, 25% chance for Trump to win? And Trump won by like 75,000 votes in a country of 350 million people. That's absolutely a black swan event. It's nothing like Bolsonaro's victory in Brasil where he won by a clean 10 points.

Yeah I lay a majority of the blame for this on McCarthy. I don't think he's got any handle on the locker room and you either need charisma or results to get people to believe in sacrificing for the greater-good of the team. Fat Mike has neither as of late and doesn't have a great track record when it comes to taking people out of position and trying to make them into these weird utility players. Montgomery gave up the first 3 years of his career that could have been spent developing himself into a specialist and now he's getting pushed out.

legitimately i dont know how this guy has gotten away with fumbling in the endzone when he was supposed to kneel. this has gotta be the tenth time

(for the record anyone mad at crosby over one game is super dumb and montgomery seems like a third running back at best but i think its even more super dumb that a pretty obvious bonehead mistake is being cast as some malicious intent)

My point is that kickers missing is a statistical inevitability, Crosby is one of the better kickers in the NFL, and it's not an apt comparison to throwing away good sense because you feel like you have to prove something by forcing a play and having it cost your team the game.

Expectation - McCarthy sees himself playing 12D chess with a bounty of versatile utility players on his roster. No one can tire his defensive depth out and no one can substitute properly against his offensive personnel. His coaching prowess expands his mind until he transcends into a galaxy-brain football god.

Reality - Scouting reports are delivered via Madden player skill ratings. Fat Mike moves skill ratings around until they all even out at 70 for every category. His play chart is actually a Denny's menu.
