Does Green Bay WANT to win????

Stop and think about this for a moment. Why would Green Bay want to win tomorrow? What's in it for them?
If they lose they give an advantage to the Bears in the conference race against their most hated opponents -- the Vikings. And they keep in the race for the top draft spot. And they sure as heck don't care about winning one for the coach. I hear most of the players want him gone.
So what incentative do they have? The "Gipper" didn't play for Green Bay!

First, you're forgetting that the average IQ in Wisconsin is hovering in the double-digits. Second, if you did a random survey of Packer fans somewhere around 84% would still think that they are going to win the Super Bowl this year. In conclusion, they want to win.

In the words of Herman Edwards....You play to win the game!

I believe teams ALWAYS play to win.....no matter what.

If they don't, I would not want them on my team, and I would not call them my team, and I would not be a fan of them.

on packerchatters there are people talking about hoping to lose so they get a better draft pick.

fucking morons.

Yes they want to win. All nfl players are extremely competitive and always want to win.

**C-PepNSalt** · 12-04-2005, 05:25 AM

agreed, anyone who plays in the NFL ...any sports for that matter. the players are very competitive and you always want bragging rights and always want to win!! i remember when we were 3 - 10 or something and we won our remaining 3 games to go 6 - 10...we coul dhave had a great draft pick being 3 - 13 but we still played to win!

Hummmmmmmmm...

fricken morons.

Seems to me I remember a few guys talking like that on here earlier in the season when we were losing.

The Bears & the Packers have been rivalries long before the Vikings have been around.

They will want to win. I think the Packers haven't lost to Chicago in Chicago since around the mid 90's.

some of the viking fans on here were hoping we'd lose and it was a lot earlier in the season. any fan that starts rooting for 'their' team to lose will always be wrong in my book.
