Packer fan thoughts

[RevSmoke]

This is sad - seriously sad.

I was at a wrestling tournament today. I saw what happens to normally good wrestlers who have just gotten off the flu, (This is in no way an excuse for the Packers) and it was sad. By 1/2 way through the 2nd of three 2minute periods, guys were completely gassed and weak as a kitten. I can see how that might have affected their play.

Nice game, '9ers.

[MarkinAZ]

Packer's signed Bama running back Eddie Lacy. This will give us a smidge more depth in the back field along with Pease, Franklin, Harris, Lacy, Green, and Starks.

If the "O" line holds up, look out:tu

[Stephen]

Any thoughts on this season thus far? A few if I may:

1. Alex Green cut. :r

2. We are starting a 21 year old 4th round rookie to protect the blindside of the franchise. Lord help us.

3. We need a backup quarterback. Stat.

4. Why is the current training/medical team still employed? Year in and year out the Packers are the most oft injured team in the league.

5. The defense may not stink the joint out this season. We have decent depth at every level (except linebacker, which is woefully thin) and should be significantly better at stopping the run.

6. I hope that Charles Johnson clears waivers and we sign him to the practice squad.

7. Alex Green cut. :r

[RevSmoke]

Yowch! I am certainly glad the Packers are still in the hunt, especially considering the players missing. Offensive line needs work. Defense needs some work. Thankfully, they found a way to win the last two weeks.

Not sure it would be a good or a bad thing for them to get into the play-offs.

[icehog3]

I vote "bad thing". ;) :lr

I think the last two weeks have been a good experience for the players filling-in for the injured, and there has been a good cohesiveness brewing among these players as well.

Having the Steelers in Lambeau this week should be a great tune-up for the current Packer offense, defense, and coaching staff.

I believe they will all be up for the play-offs, and with a little payback in mind...

I have tickets to the game up for sale. I am not sure if I want them to sell or go with my son Nathan. I could go either way. If they sell, I make a little bit over what I paid for them. If I go, I get to throw snowballs at the game. ;)

Hey, a couple of pairs of long underwear, sweatshirts, big winter gloves, wool watch cap, jeans, a couple of pairs of socks, big winter jacket, one of those butt warmer pillows for your rear-end, and you're all set:tu

As for me, I'll just have to settle with DirectTV on Sunday. Next best thing to being there in person:D

[RevSmoke]

I have been to my share of snow games. I have the clothes to wear. I enjoy such games. However, I do not need to go to such a game. As we sit here watching it at home, Nathan. who I just woke up, said, "Mmmm, you know, I think I'm glad to have the cash and sitting here in this easy chair sleeping till the game starts."

[larryinlc]

Alright, will someone please volunteer to win the NFC North. :r

[icehog3]

I don't think it matters, Larry, I am guessing neither the Packers nor the Bears will go far in the postseason. :hn

[RevSmoke]

Well, I am glad that Packers will be representing the NFC North in the playoffs. However, will they go anywhere other than to the locker room after the game?

I would love to have an answer for our defense, but that has been a problem for a few years now, they have been a sieve.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

[mosesbotbol]

All the talk today is on whether Aaron Rogers is gay. I guess there's some back story to all this. Have these stories been in the press in your locale?

[RevSmoke]

I have never heard any of this before this whole flap. Given that I have a member whose brother is a part of the team staff with the Packers, I think that would have come out before.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

[14holestogie]

All the talk today is on whether Aaron Rogers is gay. I guess there's some back story to all this. Have these stories been in the press in your locale?

This comes from Aaron's Tuesday radio show where he was asked the pitfalls of celebrity. He answered in generalities and the "gay" question was never asked but just an example he used. It may have been said with tongue firmly in cheek.

"I really, really like women."

Dating Mila Kunis in the past, I would think qualifies his answer, cause she seems to be of the right gender. :D

So if there's a backstory, it hasn't shown up here.

They were making fun of the whole situation on two different radio stations this morning in Boston. When someone says something about him, no answer Aaron give is going stop speculation.

I had never heard of this until this morning either.

Thread Revival...

Packers looking pretty good at home today against the Panthers, with a half time score of 28 - 3.

Positive note: Packer defensive personnel appear to be tackling low (for a change):tu

[MarkinAZ]

Arrrrggg! So its now 35 - 3 Packers, and Fox decides to change over to the Seattle at St Louis game:rolleyes:

[RevSmoke]

Sorry to hear about your televised loss. It was a good game. I am a bit worried about the fact that they seem to lose their drive after halftime, losing momentum into the 4th quarter.

Peace of The Lord be with you.

GAME DAY, SUNDAY NOV 30
PATRIOTS VS PACKERS...:tu

[MarkinAZ]

:wo... Packers 26 - 21 over the Patriots... :wo

I would of felt better with an extra FG, and Adams needs to get some glue on his hands near the goal line next week;)

[mosesbotbol]

It's ok I guess that they beat the Pats (I am a Pats fan). Pat's needed a loss to re-group for the final stretch of the season.

Well earned win for Green Bay. Did not get to see the game (overseas), but read about it on Boston Herald.

[MarkinAZ]

Lions 20 Packers 30

So, today we took the NFC North Division, and we have a bye. Not a bad game today. It may have been different if Rogers had been taken out of the game totally, but happy to see that he returned following halftime.

My big bone to pick for this game, the Packers were ahead of the Lions, 14 to 0 with some minutes remaining prior to the half. Its fourth down and the Lions are going for a 1st or TD, Stafford drops back to throw and releases wherein the pass was incomplete, but Packers Def End Datone Jones (#95) intentionally slaps Stafford on the helmet, drawing a flag from the ref, and giving the Lions another opportunity which they capitolize on with a TD. The Lions go into the locker room at the half with 7 points handed over to them due to Jones not holding it together.

That was irritating... Happy to see it turned around though and looking forward to the Packers playing again in two weeks...

[AdamJoshua]

I'd be upset about Suh stepping on Rodgers twice, seriously if you are backing up and you step on something your natural reaction is to pull your foot away and look to see what it was, unless you are stepping on something on purpose, then you make it a point to twist your foot? Suh is a scumbag, that being said I hope the Raiders sign him ASAP :D

Oh, I agree with you Adam. Suh potentially took a cheap shot on Rodgers bad leg, but it will come under review later by officials to ascertain if it was actually "intentional." You would think that if you did step on something, that you'd at least look down and possibly lift your foot.

We'll see how the Lions do against the Cowboys next week in Dallas:sl

That'll be a good game. -(P

[dave]

I would. And so would you. And most other people.

But, this was exactly what I expect from Suh. I'm sure he'll deny knowledge of what he was doing, but I won't believe it for one second. 'Thug' is too kind a tag. He's (borderline?) psychopathic, and I'm sick at the thought of him getting a huge free agent payday.

[AdamJoshua]

Dave ht isn't a psychopath, he's a throwback football player and not even that far back, 15-20 years ago that would have been incredibly minor and no one would have looked twice at it.

[dave]

I didn't even think all too much about that incident yesterday....and I'm a Packer fan. I'm talking about Suh's entire body of work. I think maybe if you go back to some of the guys in the 60's or 70's you might find some similar players. But I don't recall anyone that seemed as intent on purposely injuring opponents.

There's no secret to that.

[shilala]

I think maybe if you go back to some of the guys in the 60's or 70's you might find some similar players. But I don't recall anyone that seemed as intent on purposely injuring opponents.
Not so long ago it was a player's job to purposely injure other players.
It's never been cool to try to dish a career-ending injury, but it happened. Many times, intentionally.
That's tangential, Dave. But it's very true.

That said, Suh will be fined. And he should. Not only did he stand on Rodger's leg, he rocked his weight back on it and lifted the other foot.
He knew full well what he was doing, where he was standing, and why he was doing it. He's an excellent football player and he knows where everyone is on the field at any given time.
Maybe ending up on Rodger's leg was a happy coincidence, but he took full advantage of it.

I don't think Suh falls under "psychopath" at all. I think he falls under childishly stupid.
I'd be willing to bet Aaron Rodgers would far rather have him on his team than have to play against him. :D

[icehog3]

Suh got suspended, just hurt the Lions' chances of winning their 1st playoff game.

With my Bears being eliminated (before the season began? :r), I am rooting for the Lions in the NFC...massive longshot, I know.

That being said, Suh is a tremendous POS, and I applaud the NFL for suspending him.

Football has always been a tough game, and I have no problem with the physical and mental components of the game. To go beyond that and perform an "intentional act" on a helpless player is unacceptable. Happy to hear on the radio this afternoon that Suh was suspended.

:D... and for crying out loud Tom, start your own thread if you're gonna be rooting for the Lions;)

[AdamJoshua]

Oh did someone say Lions, I love the Lions, GO LIONS!!!!1!!!!!!!11!!!!!

:r

[RevSmoke]

Such hip-checked Rodgers before stepping on him, that is the evidence I need to prove that the step was intentional.

[icehog3]

I thought being "pro suspension" would give me a pass one time, Mark. :lr

Adam, you need a team too....the Raiders were eliminated from the 2015 playoffs in 2011. :)

[Col. Kurtz]

I'm not really a cowboy fan, but A-Aron's jersey is still clean. Go broncos!!

[MarkinAZ]

Ugh! 40 seconds to go in the first half and I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to watch the second half. Intuition tells me the Packers a slowly sinking in this game. Maybe something will kick them in the butt for the second half to get it together.

Poor tackling by Packers D Tramon Williams #38. Geez:confused:

[CigarNut]

Nothing like a fumble recovery to add some (much needed) momentum :)

Of course, following up with a personal foul was costly (FG instead of a TD).

[MarkinAZ]

You bet. There was absolutely no reason for Lang to take that shot against the Cowboy D. We walk away with 3 instead of 7 and the lead...

How's things going in Oregon Mike?

[MarkinAZ]

:D...Rodgers is so good with his counts, that he's able to get #81 to go off sides for an offensive foul.

[14holestogie]

On to Seattle...

[longknocker]

Oh Ye Of Little Faith!:D Congrats To The Pack! Great Game!:tu

[MarkinAZ]

Oh Ye Of Little Faith!:D

:D... Oh, I have the faith Greg, since 1966, but I also know that Aaron isn't 100% (mobility). I just expect the Packers to play of to speed during the playoffs and to preclude themselves from making costly mistakes, such as penalties. The Packers were much better in the second half fortunately.

I'm the type of fan that stands pretty much during the entire game at home in front of the flat scrn. Pacing up and down on the sidelines, and probably have worn out the carpet, not to mention scaring the dogs, cats, and my wife and daughter when the Packers pull a boner on the field:r

Yes, on to Seattle...

[CigarNut]

:D...Rodgers is so good with his counts, that he's able to get #81 to go off sides for an offensive foul.

Things are OK here, Mark? How about you?

I am really looking forward to the Seattle game! (probably for a different outcome than you are :D)

Doing just fine down this way Mike. Baked up a big batch of raisen buttermilk scones this morning in preparation for the game earlier this morning. Fresh coffee and scones, couldn't ask for anything better. Although, been eating way too many. Took a break and later, cut a nice piece of meatloaf I made last night, warmed it up, and dumped two fried eggs on top:dr

Yep, hoping for a good close game up in Seattle next week, and keeping my fingers crossed for a Packer win:tu

[RevSmoke]

Had to be on the road during the second half and listened to the game on the radio. I still have not seen the Dez Bryant "catch - no catch."

Am looking forward to next Sunday, but I think it will be a tough game.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

[MarkinAZ]

NFC Championship Game tomorrow, Packers at Seahawks.
Fox TV 12:05PM/PST.

Seattle by 7.5 pts, O/u 47.

Keeping my fingers crossed for the Pack in Seattle. Hopefully, the Packers O and D will be and stay focused and healthy throughout all 4 quarters. Yeah, its going to be a tough game on the road and playing in one of the loudest NFL stadiums, but I feel the Packers can dish out an upset tomorrow afternoon in Seattle.

Still keeping my fingers crossed:D

GOOOOOOOOOOO PACKERS:banger

[CigarNut]

I'm hoping that the packers O and D are less effective than the Hawks O and D :)

Actually going to try to venture out and watch the game with my son and a friend at the local cigar lounge. I have not been able to have a cigar since October 1, so I am really looking forward to watching the Hawks win :D

[MarkinAZ]

Geeeez, Seahawk fans:rolleyes:;)

Hope you, your son and your friend Michael have a great time tomorrow at the Cigar Lounge. Enjoy your first cigars since Oct 1 along with the Packers winning the NFC Championship mi amigo:D

[MarkinAZ]

All right! Now lets play some football:tu

[14holestogie]

30 minutes to Phoenix! :tu
I like most of what I see so far.

[CigarNut]

Packers have certainly outplayed the Seahawks in the first half, but I have high hopes for a second half comeback :)

[Stephen]

1. Whatever that retarded defensive playcall was on 3rd & 19, that one needs to wind up in the shredder.

2. AJ Hawk gave up a touchdown pass to a backup offensive lineman. Newsflash, AJ Hawk still sucks swollen nuts.

[Tio Gato]

30 minutes to Phoenix! :tu
I like most of what I see so far.

Opps. Make that two scary minutes. Go GB D!

[Tio Gato]

Bocce Balls!

[MarkinAZ]

I haven't sat down all game. Hell of a game and we're going into OT...

[CigarNut]

After 55 minutes of mediocre play, Seattle WINS in overtime!!!!!!

:wo :wo

[E.J.]

What a collapse at an EPIC level. Three straight TD drives, that 2 point conversion, the inability to hold onto an onsides kick.... I'm in shock.... In the words of Jack Buck.... " I can't believe what I just saw!"

For as good as they played the first 54 minutes, they took the last 6 minutes off. Congrats to Seattle.

Wow! Total collapse.

Couldn't punch it in on a couple of Seahawk turnovers early in the game for 6.

Jordy Nelson losing a pass in the end zone.

#42 Burnett for GB catches a tipped pass for an INT, but only runs a short ways, and then goes for the slide? I don't understand that. Are you not suppose to gain as many yards as possible on an INT?

#86 Bostick jumping up to attempt to catch the onside kick, and for some reason, lets the ball hit him in the helmet? Was he afraid of getting injured if he catched it?

I guess that's my only gripes. It was a great game up until the end and for some reason, the pressure was taken off the Seahawks.

Congratulations to the Seahawks and their fans. You deserve going to Phoenix:tu

[shilala]

I'm thoroughly disgusted with Green Bay.
5 field goals. Couldn't take advantage of 4 Wilson picks. Lose in overtime.
They just played uninspired football on offense. The D was monster until they got gassed, and that sure wasn't their fault. They gave the offense the ball more than often enough to keep them fresh.

Oh well. It'd be nice to see Russ Wilson get another ring. He's a good kid.

[E.J.]

Oh well. It'd be nice to see Russ Wilson get another ring. He's a good kid.

Agreed he appears to be a good cat.... Though I'll say it, the "God is great" and he looked out for them bla...bla....bla is a super turn off for me. I'm not a religious man, but I'm confident that his God could not care less about the Seahawks vs Packers and their respective players.

Though not looking good, would just as soon see Andrew Luck win a ring. Guess Bobby Wagner and Robert Turbin winning another would not be bad. It will be tough for me to hope either the Seahawks or Patriots win another Super Bowl.

[RevSmoke]

For as good as they played the first 54 minutes, they took the last 6 minutes off. Congrats to Seattle.

Where was the Packer offense for the first half? Yes, that is what I said! They were DEEP in the red zone 3 times and came away with 9 points total for them. It should have been 28-0 at the end of the first half. If it had been that, this would have been a different game in the 2nd half.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

[RevSmoke]

They lost that game in the first half, the offense simply did not lose the deal. The defense was stellar until the last few minutes.

[RevSmoke]

They lost that game in the first half, the offense simply did not seal the deal. The defense was stellar until the last few minutes.

If any ONE of the field goals had been a touchdown it would have been a different game.

Can you imagine how different the game would have been if all those would have been touchdowns? I do not know what the final score would have been, but that would have been a different game.

I must say that I like Russell Wilson, and think he would have more class than to say such a thing. He's a good man. I have much respect for him and his abilities. He also has my respect for his philanthropic work, visiting sick children is wonderful work.

Besides, he's a University of Wisconsin grad.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Prayers to the McCarthy family. They have to be stunned sick.

AJ Hawk was cut by the Packers yesterday.

http://i.minus.com/i5Ihp2vEJ6pn1.gif

[dave]

I was a big Hawk fan. Great guy, no question. Not entirely fair, but I always felt just a little disappointed in his play. He was solid, when I wanted spectacular, I guess. Seems his name was never called on a tackle for a loss. Schemes weren't meant for him to be that penetrating LB that I wanted him to be. I do wish him the best and believe he's got a couple more good years in him....hopefully somewhere other than NFC North.

[14holestogie]

I was a big Hawk fan. He was solid, when I wanted spectacular.

Solid is the word. His name wasn't called too often on the big plays, but it also wasn't called on the stupid penalties. He's like the solid offensive line guy who's name never gets called. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

Nice guy and a fan favorite when it came to interacting with the fans. My son was into painting and sketching the Packers players when he first came to GB. I actually have an original canvas he did of AJ that he was kind enough to autograph. My son also did some pencil sketches that AJ proudly displays in his mancave.

[Stephen]

I was a big Hawk fan. Great guy, no question. Not entirely fair, but I always felt just a little disappointed in his play. He was solid, when I wanted spectacular, I guess. Seems his name was never called on a tackle for a loss.
That's because his football IQ was severely lacking, something which was supposed to be one of his strong suits coming out of tOSU. If a tackle was needed eight yards past the line of scrimmage, Hawk was your guy.

I do wish him the best and believe he's got a couple more good years in him....hopefully somewhere other than NFC North.
He wasn't even starting for a team that starved for inside linebacker play and had no depth to provide it. I pray he lands on the Vikings squad, where it seems old Packers go to pasture.

[Stephen]

Packers re-sign both Cobb and Bulaga. Happy to see them both return.

[RevSmoke]

Packers re-sign both Cobb and Bulaga. Happy to see them both return.

Ditto!

[dave]

Love to have Cobb back, but I'm a bit surprised the Pack swallowed that bill. BTW, how much did he leave on the table? Haven't heard what other offers he had.

[dave]

For no rational reason, I'm excessively saddened that Abbrederis suffered another concussion yesterday. I know that he may never even start, but I really want for him to be successful in GB and this news just sort of distresses me a little more than it should.

[MarkinAZ]

Fortunately for the Packers, there is no 5th down available for the San Diego Chargers:banger

For me, it was a nail biter as I only was able to listen on radio this afternoon...

[dave]

Unreal box score:
Combined passer stats:

59 of 94 for 918 yards!! 4 TD's and zero INT's.

Unfortunately, it wasn't on here, either....had to follow the little football up and down the field on ESPN's app thingy

[IBQTEE1]

Was able to watch most of the game. But the Pack are back on Attack!! :D

[MarkinAZ]

Well, the last 60 seconds of the 4th Quarter was fairly hair raising (what hair I do have on top of my head):D

It was great to see the D step forwards during the final seconds of play:tu

A week off for a bye and then its prep time and off to Denver to play the Broncos:noon

And the bye came at a perfect time. They're the walking wounded out there (the most injured team in football, AGAIN), and a week off will do some good to get these guys healthy (healthier).

[dave]

Anyone see anything even a little bit positive about last night? Shocking to me that Rodgers was probably as big a problem as any. Was he hung over? Almost like he was playing scared. Scared to throw an interception. Scared he was going to get hit (understandably.) Scared (or unwilling or unable) to accurately read defense and change up the call. I'm a big Rodgers fan, but that performance was pathetic. As were the lines, and the secondary. I have to wonder if we won't look back and think that 6-0 against lousy teams meant nothing. I'm not panicking, but I can't believe I'm nervous about having to face the Vikings twice yet.

[MarkinAZ]

One thing for sure, we got our a $$' handed to us by Denver. Denver came ready to play and the Packers looked anything but ready.

Props to the Broncos D for keeping the Packers O off balanced and out of sync. Heck of a job. The Packers were simply out played by a more motivated team, and possibly healthier team too.

I agree with you Dave, there were many times the cameras were on A.Rodgers, and he looked like a deer caught in the headlights of an on coming truck. That truck being the Denver D...

[shilala]

Denver's secondary is stout, guys.
Their D is nothing to sneeze at, across the board.
With nobody open, what's a brother to do? You gotta get tired of getting squashed.
And, as Stephen said, you gotta be healthy if you're gonna stand up against a team like the Broncos.
The game was kind of a rip-off. If everyone was healthy, it had all the makings of one hell of a game.

"We had an opportunity for a pitch-and-catch touchdown, and I got scared by something. I can't explain. It was a mistake for me, and something I'll think about on the ride home. I don't know who was in my face; all I know is I had Randall (Cobb) wide open for a touchdown." -- Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers

I didn't watch yesterday....so any insight from someone who did would be appreciated. But by AR's own admission, he actually is scared....um, Aaron...I was just kidding....really.

[shilala]

You guys should take a minute to watch this episode of Dude Perfect (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfM0_ngx0zU).
If you're not familiar with Dude Perfect, it's a YouTube thing where guys set up and make all kinds of bizarre trick shots.
Aaron Rodgers and Chris Paul are in this one.
I've watched a number of episodes along the way, but this one is by far the best.
Super cool. :tu

[MarkinAZ]

Keeping my fingers crossed for a Packer win today, and hoping they brought their "game bag" with them:tu

Too bad for the Vikings this morning. Was hoping their kicker was going to make that chip shot, but....:confused:


....GO PACK GO:tu

[RevSmoke]

Thought I'd revive this thread. Not much has been positive this season, there are woes, but hope springs eternal.

They have been looking better though for the last 2 weeks.

Am looking forward to see how they will handle Seahawks this Sunday.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

[RevSmoke]

OK, so now everybody is talking the Packers in the Super Bowl. I am not sure about that, but they are looking better.

Wilson was sure PO'd about his Packer performance and is taking it out on the Rams tonight!

[MarkinAZ]

Good to know that we're in the Super Bowl already:rolleyes::D

We still have the Bear's in Chicago, the Vikings at Lambeau, and the Lions in Detroit to contend with. Agree, Packers looking good and confident. Need's to stay that way too. Should be a good home game against the Vikings!

[icehog3]

Should be a good home game against the Vikings!

Not so much against the Bears. ;) :lr

[MarkinAZ]

Not so much against the Bears. ;) :lr

Currently 10 - 10 at the Half...

I sure do miss the weather back in the Northern states. Sunny in Chicago, currently 12* and looking at -10* later tonight. Green Bay currently 3* and looking at -10* tonight. Time to break out the cheddy brots and brew:dr

[icehog3]

Didn't watch but saw the "highlights". Once again, the Bears snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. :lr

[RevSmoke]

I do not like nail-biter games. It was a lot closer than it needed to be for my tastes. Although, it was a game you had to watch till the end.

Or, as in my case, not watch at all. ;)

[MarkinAZ]

In the second qrt, Matthews drops an interception; and then on what appeared to be a good drive, we started to hold and be off-sides. I'm thinking the Packers were trying to really self-destruct.

We'll see how the second half goes:2

Currently 17- 14 Packers over Detroit in the 3rd...

It went better in the second half. NFC North Division Champs is good.

I don't like the Giants coming into Lambeau, that hasn't gone well in the past. Although, it should be victory - if they play as they are able to play.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

I agree. Second half much better. Liking what Ripkowski and Allison contributed in this period too. In fact, the entire team came together in that second half, considering some injuries that took place.

The only "minor" drawback was watching Schum perform a line drive (and not very far) punt, which went out of bounds within Packer territory, and wouldn't you know it, the Lions scored on their first possession. Geeez! Thank goodness, their (Lions) off-side was not successful.

Giants are going to present a challenge to the Packers, just as they did to the Cowboys, even though it hasn't gone well for the Packers in the past, I believe the momentum the Pack is carrying will see them through this coming Sunday.

Gooooooooo Packers:noon

Let's Go Giants!! :)

It was a quarterback sneak, Todd. ;) :)

Stick to your day job leave the comedy to someone like John Madden, he's better at it than you. :sl

Oh, you Packers fans are so edgy this week. :lr

[Dave128]

They cheated. :)

Best tweet I saw:

"Brice Butler called for penalty for going into huddle & not participating. He often goes into huddle & doesn't participate. What's big deal"

Pack and Pats going to Houston

[icehog3]

Pack and Pats going to Houston

To watch the Falcons and Steelers? How did they score tickets?



;s :lr

[shilala]

Boy, I'd far rather get the Falcons. And the Pats were beatable in that Houston game.
Houston just didn't have any offense whatsoever to give them room, and Brady is ALWAYS gonna gash a secondary.
Talib and Denver's secondary were the only reason they didn't advance last year.
No long game, and that IS their game.
The Steelers have no answer for that unless Dupree makes Tom eat dirt all day.

Green Bay was awesome.

[AdamJoshua]

Raiders would have beaten the Pats. A lot of teams counting their blessings that Tom was on the Raiders' bandwagon. :mad: :lr

The more I watch Aaron R. the happier I am that so many people compare Carr to him, I've always liked him he goes about his business, don't whine and complain, seems like the consummate professional.

[dave]

;s

Why? Bears fan?

[icehog3]

Why? Bears fan?

That's not why I am sorry to you. I am sorry because I root against the Patriots 16+ games a season. ;)

[dave]

I won't argue with that....as noble a cause as I've heard today

[MarkinAZ]

After that first half, not sure if I have any "thoughts" at this time;)

24 - 0 Falcons...:confused:

[The Poet]

Has the plane from Green Bay landed in Atlanta yet?

[Remo]

Atlanta Buzzsaw

[Pdub]

Has the plane from Green Bay landed in Atlanta yet?

LMAO. Love seeing Rodgers cry. Too funny.

[nutcracker]

Ug -

[MarkinAZ]

Has the plane from Green Bay landed in Atlanta yet?

Hopefully it has their game bag they forgot in GB;)

[Weelok]

Atlanta looks scary good. Scary.

[Weelok]

Hah Aaron Rodgers figures he is going to have to make things happen on his own. That was a great run and he is really a great athlete.

[MarkinAZ]

Atlanta looks scary good. Scary.

Hell of D:tu


Hopefully it has their game bag they forgot in GB

Guess the game bag didn't make it on the plane:rolleyes:

37 - 7 Falcons...

[icehog3]

I'm not sayin' nothin'.

[MarkinAZ]

:D Don't hold back Tom...

If you're not sayin' nothin', then what are you sayin'?

It is better to have played and lost, than to never have played at all?

Define "play".

[Pdub]

Rodgers is such a douche. Go pack go. Loving it!!!!!

[Tio Gato]

I so didn't expect this. That's an old fashioned ass whoopin'.:gary

And "GO PATRIOTS!"

[Weelok]

I already called my Mom and told her the Patriots won the Super Bowl.

[MarkinAZ]

Well, Packers had a great run this season, injuries and all, but just didn't have the ingredients for a NFC Championship win today. Rest up guys, and we'll see you back for the 2017 season, and healthy throughout.

Great game today for the Falcons:tu

[nutcracker]

The AFC game seems more of a contest so far.....
Only 9 zip so far

[icehog3]

Define "play".

What the Falcons did? ;)

[dave]

Romo or Kapernick? Kinda like opening the humi and having just a Gurkha and a Victor Sinclair staring back at you.

At least the Romo will be standing. :noon ;s

[dave]

on crutches, no doubt

[dave]

Kaepernick...you busy next Sunday?

Maybe with a QB...and perhaps an offensive line...and a little defense...we might win another game or two

[icehog3]

Oh, gosh, I sure hope not. :r ;s

[dave]

Oh wait...nevermind...forgot we still get to play the Browns...and the Bears again...we don't need no stinking quarterback to get two more wins...and maybe even be rewarded with a top ten pick

[Steve]

Not a real pretty game last night...

[icehog3]

Oh wait...nevermind...forgot we still get to play the Browns...and the Bears again...we don't need no stinking quarterback to get two more wins...and maybe even be rewarded with a top ten pick

I find it hard to believe they even allow the Bears to play in the NFL anymore! :lr

[RevSmoke]

The defense is what needs the most help. Been saying that for years, but nobody listens to me.
