Re: Offseason Coaches' Pressers

1. I don't think there is actually that much "Packer homer" on this board anymore. We are all pretty jaded from the last decade. We know how the story ends. We have been there done that.
I just don't see an overwhelming Packer homer trend on this site.
2. I also don't see a tremendous anti-Packer vibe on this site. I think people try and be very realistic of our team. However, there are two primary camps. One camp likes to harp on a perceived weakness on the roster and bring it up all the time. The perceived weakness also fluctuates constantly as one would naturally expect.
Another camp asserts that all rosters have weaknesses and it is up to the coaches and players to overcome the weaknesses. Especially when a mature roster like the one the Packers has inherently will limit roster maximization due to cap and draft capital constraints.
The Packers have by and large been the steady monstrous ship in the NFC over the past decade (save 2015 - 2018. Those were legitimately poor rosters). What the Packers have been fighting is getting past the pesky "1 to 2 year wonders" (primarily Seattle, NYG, SF and Tampa) who have always gotten in the Packers way due to being amazing or due to the Packers making terrible mistakes on the brightest stage.
Because of that, you have a fan base that is frustrated and the finger pointing largely goes into the two camps I described above.
However, PackerNation did exactly what you shouldn't do. It's not about "trying to fit in". I don't care if you disagree with me. But good grief create better arguments beyond just calling people stupid. There was about 10% Packer related content, 60% personal attack content, and 30% self-boasting content.
Self boasting is what Facebook is for. Nobody really cares about that stuff on a football forum.
If your best comeback when talking about football is, "well I have a beautiful wife and nice house" and therefore I am smarter than you....probably means you are a sh*tty debater, communicator and aren't as smart as you would like to think you are.
