You know, this might just be the one game (from one totally Lost Season) when you might want to consider second-guessing the efficacy/purpose of some of those rituals.
I have to admit that I'm sort of hoping for yet another repeat of Last Minute Disaster, like the Bears game last Monday. Because it would actually benefit the team to lose, to get better draft position.
Let them roll all over the Lions -- the same way that they racked up way more yards and first downs and everything against the Bears, and other teams -- but lose on a fluke, a blocked kick or turnover or someother b*llsh*t. All true Packers fans will know we've still got the best team in the division (considering all the guys on injured reserve), but this just turned out to be that odd, strange year when Fate decided to award the Packers a High Draft Pick.
I don't blame the 3 guys at the top for any of the last minute losses. It's just football, and I don't know anyone I'd rather see in their places. Thompson was "Executive of the Year" last year, McCarthy's done a mostly decent job -- exceeding expectations, anyway -- and Murphy's only been around less than a year.
Anyway, it's just a sport, a distraction.
I'll probably be rooting more for the Jets to win this weekend than the Packers. It would be great if they went all the way in the play-offs, to the Super Bowl -- so the Pack would get a number one draft pick, from them, too, for the Saint Favre trade.
