“I didn’t think about that. I just think there’s a way you handle winning in this league. I’ve got a lot of respect for those guys we’re competing against,” LaFleur said.
It was pointed out to LaFleur that point differential is one of the playoff tiebreakers, but LaFleur responded that playoff tiebreakers aren’t something he thinks about during a game. He also said he wasn’t bothered by the Rams using their timeouts late in the game even as there was virtually no chance of them winning.
“If I knew that was going to be the difference, certainly, you do what you’ve got to do, but I think there’s karma involved in that, and I don’t want to be about that, and I’ve got too much respect for them,” LaFleur said. “I’m not worried about that.

However, I consider this win and the bears win to be malfeasance on the part of management and coaches.
They could have been tied for the second worst record in the league right now.
I'll say I was wrong if they make the playoffs, but otherwise the team is behaving in such a way to lose value.

The draft is a crapshoot (Tony Mandarich & Rich Campbell, among many others, say 'Hi'). It's obvious to me that the team hasn't given up on winning so why should I? And the development of a few young guys is icing on the cake.

Since then they have been digging out of that hole as a team and *slowly* building cohesion despite some pretty inept in-season roster management, coaching, and game planning. One major problem I see is that playmakers on both sides of the team are rookies and I expected them to make a major impact when they've never experienced the rigors of an NFL season.

Yes, if the Packers picked the wrong guy 35-40 years ago, it means they never will pick wisely.
If they don't have confidence in the top prospects, they can trade down multiple times and get a bunch of 2-4th round guys.
This argument is just senseless. You can go for wins, or you can try to improve the value of your future players by tanking. Going for wins only makes sense while you have a real chance for the playoffs. Management has been held hostage by Aaron.

I have to disagree with that idea. I've seen it listed often as the tipping point, but if your teams psyche is so fragile it can't handle a rookie dropping his first catch - no matter how easy it should have been, your team is screwed. It's not the drop that is the problem, its the weak mentality of the group. I'm not buying that either...
The problem is that this team was not as good - on the whole - as most of us believed at the beginning of the season. It's still a middle of the road construction, not in the same caliber as the top teams. Losing Davante was big, but there are still plenty of weak spots on all parts of the squad, including some of the coaches.
