Just when you think it can’t get any worse, you turn on the Packers game and find out it can. I swear they have found all kinds of new and improved ways to lose this season, from turnovers to defensive meltdowns to offensive miscues to special teams gaffes. What next? This afternoon it turned out to be a combination of all those things that led to the 19-14 loss to Philadelphia. Five turnovers, including two fumbles in kickoff returns by ReShard Lee and Andrae Thurman. The offense went cold in the second half and the defense fell apart in the fourth quarter. About the only bright spot was Sam Gado gaining 111 yards rushing, but that hardly saved the day since nearly all of it came in the first half.

So, the Packers are now 2-9 and headed for their first losing season since 1991. You remember 1991, right? The first Gulf War, Jeffrey Dahmer, the collapse of the Soviet Union, Nevermind, and Clarence Thomas. Oh, those were good times.
