Wow, just wow. A blowout home loss for week 11, facing the 4-5 Ravens. Now granted, the Ravens are never a terrible team and always tend to do fairly well, but our offense couldn’t do shit. There were turnovers, no rhythm, just… fuck. The defense did its job early keeping the Raven’s points down during the first half, but in the second half they managed to put up points and we didn’t do shit. Now sitting at 5-5, it’s starting to feel like a slippery slope. We face the Steelers next, and that’s going to be a loss, I can already see it. They have been on fire this year, and though we probably would have been too had Rodgers not gone down, it’s unlikely that we’re making the playoffs. There are a few teams we should be able to beat going forward, but even then I don’t think there will be enough reason for Rodgers to try and come back. He should just rest at this point and we should take some quality draft picks for next year. I hate to see an 8 year playoff appearance streak go down in flames, but at this point it would almost be better to throw in the towel. I know McCarthy won’t be doing that but the agitation this backup QB has given me just makes me not want to watch football for the rest of the season. Now I know how it feels to be a Chargers fan. Sigh. Let’s see how my picks went for last week:
