That best game is still out there this time

I’m not a big fan of firing NFL coaches and GMs when things don’t go well for a team. The Steelers have had three head coaches in 50 years and in that time they have only FIVE seasons of less than .500! I think owners create their own chaos by the continual revolving door of coaches and GMs every two or three years. Your thoughts?

It’s a bottom-line business, and the pressure to win is immense. Have the Steelers had very few bad bottom lines because of their stability, or have they had stability because of very few bad bottom lines?

Could you ever see the NFL extending their regular season to 18 games? Along the same lines, can you see the playoffs expanding to eight teams per conference?

Yes on both counts, but I sincerely hope I’m retired by then.

Let’s keep perspective that GB played with many reserves and had the lead with six minutes left in the fourth against a division rival. I understand that defense let some plays get behind them that resulted in points, but we’ve all managed to forgive the defense for the other games if the Pack pulled off the win. It’s safe to say if Green Bay needed a 14th win, probability was in their favor. Luckily, it didn’t matter. Enjoy the ride and hope the MVP does MVP things.

I also sincerely hope we’re done talking about the Detroit game.

I don’t know about you guys, but the one team that I would not want to see is the 49ers. I know we beat them on the road this year, but it came down to the wire and I can’t help but flash back to the games two years ago where they just ran and ran and ran all over the defense.

The Packers are a different defense now. I’m confident in that. As Wes and I discussed on “Unscripted,” I do believe the 49ers are a dangerous team, but that status is hanging somewhat tenuously on Garoppolo’s banged-up throwing hand. Intriguing to say the least.

In regard to the Chargers-Raiders game, I could never imagine the Vikings or Bears ever tying with each other to also let the other into the playoffs. In most divisions, teams want their rivals eliminated ASAP.

One of the ironies of the Rams not knocking out the division-rival 49ers is their seed also dropped to where they now have to play another division rival this week. To me, when teams meet for a third time in the same season, the “anything can happen” mantra multiplies by a hundred.

My father always seemed to begin almost every lesson with words that started with P. Preparation, Persistence, Perseverance, Patience, Practice, Perfection, Prayer, Packers … what is your favorite P word (besides Packers) and why?

Perspective. It nourishes the mind and calms the soul.

Where do I sign up to get my “Spoff on a cocktail napkin”? Do I redeem my Packers Perks points?

Good one. Happy Wednesday.
