No pride in the NFL?

A late, great friend mine always used to complain that is no pride in the NFL. We will find out today in Jacksonville. Two teams that won playoff games last year and were expected to return to the playoffs this year meet today with nothing to play for but pride. The Packers have at least been competitive pretty much every week but one, but have not been able to pull out the close games. The Jags have been hit just as hard if not harder by injuries than the Packers have just not played well as a result.

Coming off the devastating loss to the Texans, the Packers will either pack it in or get pissed off. While even though it would be too little,  too late, lets hope it the latter. Finish strong and condidence will be high going into the offseason. Lose three more games and nothing will get better until they start playing games next September and we see what we have. It will be a long eight months.

That said, for at least a week, anyway, I think the Packers postpone the horror. Packers 29, Jags 21.

    There’s a reason a bad Packers team is favored on the road. So many people are picking the Jags. I just don’t see it.

    Packers are healthy compared to the Jags.

    Jaguars offensive injuries/suspensions include both starting Guards, backup Tackle, backup Center, starting HB, starting FB, both starting WRs out.
    Defensive injuries include top CB. They also have two defensive tackles, a defensive end, safety, and punter out.

    Yes, the injury report is longer for the Packers, but that’s because the Jaguars injured reserve list is longer.

    The lose of Taylor and both WRs this week, leave the Jags with very little offense.

    Packers 31, Jags 10.

    Well, I hope Rodgers is up for a shootout – looks like the Packers D left their balls on the plane.

    Weak ass pass rush and young DB burned on double move – I could swear I’ve seen that before.

    Hope there is big changes in the off-season. This team is terrible. Try to have a good Christmas everyone. Go Pack Go!!! Next year hopefully.

    Just when you think it can’t get any worse…Is it just me or does this seem like the movie Groundhog’s Day where every game is the same kind of ending, and you just can’t change it?
