Misery Index · Despair
Packers fans blowing a 21-3 lead to the Bears and pricing out which fires LaFleur or McManus first.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
B.McManus shanking a 44-yarder wide right in the fourth was the dagger, and C.Williams finding D.Moore deep left for the go-ahead score made it official. J.Love did his part, scrambling Green Bay into range with throws to M.Golden and R.Doubs before the final incompletion at the CHI 33. The kicker will wear this one publicly, but the quieter question — whether this staff can ever close a January-caliber game — isn't going anywhere.
What fans said
“He will *never* win a meaningful playoff game, let a alone a super bowl. He has to go, especially now since there's so many good coaches available.”
