Quote from: HutchwasClutch on January 11, 2026, 02:43:52 PM39-10 years 1-3 with Rodgers having two MVP seasons. 

37-30-1 since. 

1 playoff win since 2020.  A choke job last night that is rightfully being judged historically. 

Thanks Roger Goodell for playoff expansion or else it would be a 4 year playoff drought. 

3-6 overall playoff record with a home championship game loss followed the next year by a one and done home loss as the #1 seed. 

See it's not very pretty when you take a little peek behind the curtain.  I love all the people who pay little more than superficial attention to the Packers giving us your own reality checks on the little flower. 

Good luck anyone who has to have him in the first 8 seconds he's unemployed God willing and watch his teams implode over and over again.  That's what he does. That's what his teams do.  Lack of poise and composure when things get tough.  Rodgers propped him up while he could still perform as an elite QB and it's been mediocre to lousy since. 

The good thing is that, if he's fired, we'll actually get to see how long LaFleur sits unemployed (assuming he wants to coach in 2026). You might be right that all the GMs with HC or OC openings think he's a lost cause. We'll see!

JB, please provide evidence of voting by illegals, let alone in numbers to affect an election. Thanks in advance.

Quote from: MarquetteMike1977 on January 11, 2026, 01:23:12 PMAgree. And feel opposing coaches love Shaka at the moment since we are losing to them and he appears to be the Potsy at the poker table lol

Mostly agree, but unless you are making the point that our team is crappy, I think Shaka is not someone sitting on the pot. He does appear to be the patsy at the poker table though.

Quote from: 1SE on January 11, 2026, 04:05:26 PMHad to find a way to get the ball into NJ's hands, he would have drawn defenders and then you kick to ross, parham or even MP for a clean look rather than chase's 35 ft fall away over 3 defenders.

Again, if you're Nova, why wouldn't you just let James drive all the way to the hoop while covering all shooters on the perimeter?

Quote from: MU82 on January 11, 2026, 03:28:46 PMJust watched it 5x.

After James IB the ball, it looked like Phillips tried to screen to free James in the left corner but Nova's D covered it. Ross was the next option, and that ended up being yucky.

Perhaps we should have done whatever (screens etc) to free James to receive the IB pass so he could create an open shot for others or himself.

But Nova would have simply let James drive to the hoop for a layup while covering the perimeter. James almost certainly wouldn't have been able to create his own open 3 because he needs a lot of space and time to get off his jumper.

There obviously were other options, too, but as has been pointed out a bazillion times on Scoop already, we do not have good shooters. Aside from James, we were 4-for-22 from 3 yesterday.

Not absolving Shaka - he's in charge of bringing in shooters. Just saying this current edition of MU hoops doesn't have a lot of options in this situation.

Had Phillips not missed his previous attempt so badly, he might have been my choice for the shot. But Ross did hit two 3s in the game, so I can see why he was the second option.

In the end, another frustrating ending to a winnable game.

Had to find a way to get the ball into NJ's hands, he would have drawn defenders and then you kick to ross, parham or even MP for a clean look rather than chase's 35 ft fall away over 3 defenders.

But hey, I don't get paid millions of dollars to figure this out so what do I know.

Quote from: Jockey on January 11, 2026, 03:14:41 PMLove threw for 323 with a rating over 100.

Jacob's averaged 2.9 yards a carry.

Hafley's D gave up 25 points in the 4th quarter.

Love was way down on the list if we're assigning blame.

This was sarcasm ha. Love is a star, down to the last drive.
