and try to do it in a manner to garner some future support for ourselves

Right and who is going to support the Packers? Come on, the Packers are the 2nd or 3rd most hated team on that sub. Think about the retarded Rodgers=Gabbert/Rodgers=Cutler with a ring/Rodgers is past his prime shitposts we had during the season and how that sub didn't even look at them as shitposts but legitimate analysis so they could have a chance to shit on the Packers

When the Pats go, the casual voters will go for the Packers. Look at the day the CAE tried to switch their votes for the Giants instead of the Pats. The majority of the votes still went to the Pats

Without the eloe there's no way the Packers are making it out of the bottom 5. The CAE is still extremely weak. And even if they were making an impact on the vote, if you side with them and go against the eloe, the Lions and Vikings will convince all of them to go for the Packers after the Pats go. And all of the eloe will target the Packers

Even if we don't win, we'll get to outlast the Lions/Vikings and avoid the hatefest this looked like it would be before eloe coordinated its vote
