What is The Procedure for Forfeiting?

You gotta feel for Shermy a little bit. I mean, he still makes idiot moves, like putting in Rashard Lee to run back kickoffs, or going away from the pass for the bulk of the 3rd and fourth quarters, but there is really no way for him to force these foot-fisted stiffs to hang onto the cock-sucking ball.

The look on Shermy's face was pretty hilarious, ...I've never actually seen someone so mad that their forhead split in half and peeled away revealing twin demon-headed snakes that shot forth breathing fire and barking with the pleading agony of a thousand condemned souls, ...but there it was.

But we shouldn't feel too sorry for him, after all, he's slowly dissolving in the stomache-acid bath of his own making.

You know what I'd like to see, ...a concerted effort to adjust to the dismal situation we find ourselves in. For example, how about some suprise plays? We can't beat teams straight up, so why not try to fool 'em?

And I don't mean that you should fake every punt, but why not the halfback option pass, a few more misdirection halfback tosses, a flea-flicker, a no-huddle series, a QB draw, starting a series with 4 wides, etc.

Our line can't make holes for Gado, so why not toss him the ball (like on the TD run) so that he can start the run outside of the d-line instead of forcing him to run through it?

These strategies aren't meant to be the sum total of our offense, but if it gets us one more first down, or gets us closer to field goal range, or actually pays off and gets us in the end zone, ...then we are more likely to start winning these 3 and 5 point games instead of losing them.

But, you know, I'm just looking at history and drawing reasonable conclusions. My bad.

As it is now, ...we're stuck repeating the same mistakes over and over thanks to the Packers patented "automatic choke/suck", which runs on intervals of 5 minutes and kicks in automatically on 3rd down.

We should at least try something new so we can start making new mistakes. This is getting beyond throw-your-remote-frustrating, it's becoming stab-yourself-with-a-butter-knife boring.

I'm presently considering two things:

1. Demonstrating how predictable the Packers are by posting the script of the game before kick off next week.
2. Ceasing to think about the Packers for the next six days, then deliberately not watching the game on Sunday.

Number 1 could be fun, but number 2 intrigues me.

I wonder what that would be like?
