Even the most casual of NFL fans are painfully aware what an ugly, grueling season it’s been for Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Let’s face it, nothing short of a return to the playoffs would come close to tapering the unfair criticism he’s been getting all year from local media and fans alike.

But, with a record of 5-9 going into tomorrow’s game against the Bears, the fate of their season is already sealed, there won’t be any playoffs, and the fans have more or less accepted defeat.

There’s not much else to do other than prepare to endure a long offseason of skepticism and second guessing from their concerned fanbase.

Sounds like a party.

Amazingly though, this can all get much worse. As it currently stands, the Lions are losing to the Saints, 42-7. Assuming they lose (safe assumption), Detroit’s last chance to escape the utter embarrassment and mockery that a winless season would bring comes against the Green Bay Packers next Sunday at Lambeau Field.

Imagine what happens if the Lions go in there and steal one? Does Rodgers even stick around to find out?

If the unthinkable happens, and it could, don’t be shocked when you hear that thousands of overfed Packer fans rolled up his driveway on giant cheese wheels and stormed his house brandishing every assault weapon ever used by Itchy & Scratchy.

*By the way, what a depressing/hilarious read this is:
