If we miss the playoffs, I don’t think Lovie is back either. Add that he said the GB gmae on 12/16 wasn’t a “must win”. That’s our biggest rival, inexcusable to say that. I’d like to see an offensive-minded HC brought in along with a rebuilt OL and new TE’s.

Let’s take a reality check here. I really don’t care how ‘strong’ Adam Jahns thinks the Arizona defense is. There is no valid excuse for losing this game, or next week against a completely dysfunctional Lions team either.

Despite what they did last week against the Lions, this is a horrible team (remember, one with a ‘strong’ defense though) that nearly gave up 60 points a few weeks ago to Seattle. But come on, seriously I’m tired of all the built in, ready to use excuses, and predictably I heard Lovie on a radio clip this morning already setting up what a really difficult matchup this is going to be.

Lose this game, and the excuse making is done, and Lovie is done, that’s it. A scenario that worries me though is if we somehow win our last 2 games but still somehow don’t get in, you can be sure all the Lovie backers will be saying it’s not his fault we didn’t get in, we just were victims of tough tiebreakers, etc. And that is an incorrect argument, but we are a long way from that discussion.

The reality is only 1 other team since 1996 has started 7-1 and failed to get in. Couple that with last year’s 7-3 collapse, and canning Lovie is a no brainer

I don’t disagree with you too much Mike N. But if there is a bit of hope for just ONE more run with a few pieces added to this roster, I’d be for that. Because as I said, history has proven that once they start rebuilding from scratch, all bets are off. We’ve all seen how bad that can go. Happy Holidays.

Honestly for me, I’d still have trouble bringing Lovie back…period. Two years in a row they’ve basically collapsed (I know 2012 isn’t finished yet) after 7-3 and 7-1 starts, respectively. And this year they HAVE Cutler and Forte. They got fat on the weak sisters of the NFL, but each time they have come up against a quality opponent: G.B., S.F., Hou, they’ve had it handed to them. Yeah, I know the loss to the Texans was only by one score, but it sure felt like more.
