#packers This is just not a good team. Undisciplined, lacking focus, play calling that defies logic and no sense of determination. We will waste the best years of Jordan’s Love’s career due to this incompetence

I realize no one here cares but I cannot help myself. #Badgers football vs. Eastern Michigan. 40% of Camp Randall is empty. EM leads 7-0 ( that won’t last) but the state of Badger football is really sad. Does anyone think this coach is the answer?

I like the Packers like every other person from Wisconsin. However, this is quite the commentary on things-above the fold headline in the Milw Journal: “Packers’ Smith spent summer celebrating his brother’s prison release.”
