Apparently nobody ever told the Packers the famous sales mantra and acronym 'ABC' from the 1992 film Glengarry Glen Ross. 'ABC' stands for 'Always be closing."
\n\nGreen Bay hasn't been able to do anything of the sort since Micah Parsons' tore his ACL in Week 15 in Denver last season. The Packers have lost six straight games since their superstar edge rusher went down, their longest losing streak since the pre-Brett Favre era in the early 1990s.
\n\nThe collapses without Parsons have reached historic levels of futility, including the 17-point loss in Week 1 in Minnesota after leading by 12 points in the second half. Here's a summary of those four collapses:
\n\nTheir four straight losses in games when leading by at least two scores in the second half is tied with the 2000 Chargers for the longest such losing streak in NFL history. By the way, those Chargers went 1-15 and Ryan Leaf was their quarterback for three of those four blown leads. It was his last season with San Diego.
\n\nThe Packers have their sights set on Super Bowls, yet they find themselves in the company of one of the worst teams (and draft busts) in NFL history.
