Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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.

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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.

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

I vote "bad thing". ;) :lr

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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...

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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. ;)

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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."

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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.

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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?

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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.

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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.

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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.

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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.

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

: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;)

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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.

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

That'll be a good game. -(P

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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.

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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.

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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.

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

There's no secret to that.

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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.

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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;)

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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

:r

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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. :)

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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:

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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).

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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?

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

On to Seattle...

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

: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...

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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)

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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.

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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

Re: Packer fan thoughts
 

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
