THE OFFICIAL VIKING PACKER GAMEDAY THREAD

[red]

god damnit

that was bad

fair catch the ball, you gotta see the guy streaking at you

[MadScientist]

Torue showing why he was a healthy scratch when other receivers were healthy.

[beveaux1]

That's why Toure is 7th WR.

[Rastak]

He just dropped it.

[Bretsky]

Bo deserves to be on the 53, and not just a PS call-up.


Honestly I REALLY like all 7 wide receivers; it's nice we moved on from the dead weight WR's in the Lizard and Cobb

[red]

good thing we started this quarter with a 4 TD lead

[beveaux1]

He just dropped it.

first return of the year.

[Rastak]

first return of the year.

Likely the last I guess.

[red]

Honestly I REALLY like all 7 wide receivers

yeah, who goes down when watson and wicks come back?

can't drop melton

toure might have just volunteered

[Rastak]

Packers still in control.

[beveaux1]

yeah, who goes down when watson and wicks come back?

can't drop melton

toure might have just volunteered

He'll be the man.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Will I get canned first from the burger joint or Toure from the Packers?

[MadtownPacker]

good thing we started this quarter with a 4 TD lead
Yup. About the only reason I’m not cussing the tv out.

[red]

30 TDs is not that many in todays NFL. It's a different league than 10 years ago even, but certainly 30-40 years ago. I would be curious to know the difference in yards per attempt, total pass attempts, and % of plays that are passing, as well as points per game average. I suspect are all much higher in the past 5 years than say 35 years ago.

its the third most in the NFL right now behind dak (32) and purdy (31)

i think, if the stats are live

[Bretsky]

yeah, who goes down when watson and wicks come back?

can't drop melton

toure might have just volunteered



Yes, Toure for sure. I like Heath as well

I think Reed, Wicks, and Watson (if he ever plays) have talent to be stellar starters

Doubs, Melton, and Heath have all looked really good as well

[beveaux1]

Toure knows that was his last chance on the 53. He just knows it.

[Fritz]

He pooped the bed.

[red]

melton kinda reminds me of that other #80 we had

[Rastak]

Is Bo Melton related to the great White Sox 3B Bill Melton?

Likely not.

[George Cumby]

Surgical.

[red]

Is Bo Melton related to the great White Sox 3B Bill Melton?

Likely not.

i'm gonna go out on a limb and say probably not

[Rastak]

:razz:

[beveaux1]

The offense hits on all cylinders. That QB is playing lights out. Not perfect, but lights out.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

The offense hits on all cylinders. That QB is playing lights out. Not perfect, but lights out.

Ain’t Love’s fault his receivers dropped a couple of rocks.

[red]

DO NOT talk about joe barry doing a job job

their QB couldn't complete a handoff tonight

[Rastak]

DO NOT talk about joe barry doing a job job

their QB couldn't complete a handoff tonight

BULLSHIT, he just got himself one more year.

[red]

is gutey just staring at the camera like a douche?

[George Cumby]

BULLSHIT, he just got himself one more year.

Dear, God, please, NO.

[red]

BULLSHIT, he just got himself one more year.

if you guys have played so shitty that we end up keeping that asshole, that might have been the best thing you could have done tonight

[Rastak]

if you guys have played so shitty that we end up keeping that asshole, that might have been the best thing you could have done tonight


We did.....lol. Oh boy.

[red]

how can collinsworth claim he's been paying attention, then say he likes watching barrys team?

[beveaux1]

Can't make XPs , but no problem with FGs.

[George Cumby]

Has Love been sacked tonight? I don't think so.

[beveaux1]

Has Love been sacked tonight? I don't think so.

Nope. Barely been touched.

[Fritz]

The “it’s not gonna fit” Allstate commercial should end with her saying that to her husband while he’s eyeing her bum.

[red]

Has Love been sacked tonight? I don't think so.

nope

stats show only 3 QB hits also

[beveaux1]

That was another 8 minute drive.

[red]

The “it’s not gonna fit” Allstate commercial should end with her saying that to her husband while he’s eyeing her bum.

looking at that lady, she should probably say "i won't feel a thing"

or

i'll make it fit in you

[Rastak]

Watching that crowd scene, in England they separate the home and away fans into different ends of the stadium.

[George Cumby]

Love's quick release and command of the offense go a long way, but the O-line deserves some propers.

[red]

a lot of europe does that but still end up with incidents

see the Heysel disaster

[Rastak]

Plus you can get a ticket in the home end as an away fan. It's funny hearing stories about fans keeping their mouth shut when away and in the home end.

[George Cumby]

a lot of europe does that but still end up with incidents

see the Heysel disaster

Just scanned the Wiki on it.

Holy shit.

[Fritz]

Love's quick release and command of the offense go a long way, but the O-line deserves some propers.

That’s a good point. Tom has been great.

[RashanGary]

There is no doubt love will be closer to 50 per than 40 at this point in new money.

[RashanGary]

Love's quick release and command of the offense go a long way, but the O-line deserves some propers.

Zach Tom had the tougher assignment. He gets most of the credit. But the whole group played great.

[Rastak]

a lot of europe does that but still end up with incidents

see the Heysel disaster


Hillsborough disaster was terrible too.

[Fritz]

Okay. Green Bay is actually going to win. Wow.

[beveaux1]

Okay. Green Bay is actually going to win. Wow.

Unbelievable.

[red]

That’s a good point. Tom has been great.

they should the stat a bit ago that his second in the league at RT for pressure allowed this year

i didn't realize he was doing that well

[MadtownPacker]

Thanks for being a good sport and riding it out Ras. Not the closer game I expected. Happy New Year man.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Yay, no Collinsworth next week!

[red]

Hillsborough disaster was terrible too.

yeah, hillsborough was worse, but wasn't fan vs fan, just crazy fans

my favorite was the bradford city fire, where fans ran on to the field and were celebrating like jackasses, while other people were being burned alive


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctT8_LiD2cU

[beveaux1]

Vikes watched our defensive game film for the past 3 games and were overconfident.

I would have been, too.

[MadtownPacker]

Yay, no Collinsworth next week!
But he said Love should pay him to go to games because he makes Love play good.

[George Cumby]

they should the stat a bit ago that his second in the league at RT for pressure allowed this year

i didn't realize he was doing that well

That was eye-opening.

I think it was Bobble who's been high on him from the start.

[Rastak]

Thanks for being a good sport and riding it out Ras. Not the closer game I expected. Happy New Year man.


You too and everyone here. Been a tough end of the year, my brother-in-law who was a fantastic fellow and my age died in November. My uncle died December 26th. That said, 2024 has to better, right?

[Fritz]

Oh my gosh. A Clifford sighting. Is there a QB controversy??

[Teamcheez1]

Oh my gosh. A Clifford sighting. Is there a QB controversy??

Skinbasket will be claiming Love should have been benched 4 games ago.

[George Cumby]

You too and everyone here. Been a tough end of the year, my brother-in-law who was a fantastic fellow and my age died in November. My uncle died December 26th. That said, 2024 has to better, right?

So sorry to hear that Ras. Hang in there.

[RashanGary]

Okay. Green Bay is actually going to win. Wow.

You know, I didn’t want the playoffs that bad, with the inevitability of the defense. But it’s really cool for Love in his maiden voyage and Lafleur proving he can do it without 12, and Gute for transitioning QBs like a freaking boss, and Murphy for carrying the torch from Harlan. The whole thing will be a huge moral victory for the leadership circle at 1265.

But we shouldn’t be counting any chickens. The Bears defense is real since they added Sweat, and Fields as limited as he is mentally, is playing his best ball and can do a lot of things from a physical standpoint. They can beat anyone on any given week if Fields gets some lucky looks.

But the playoffs are kinda cool for Jordan Loce and the whole squad here.

[Rastak]

What is Tex's take?

[Fritz]

You too and everyone here. Been a tough end of the year, my brother-in-law who was a fantastic fellow and my age died in November. My uncle died December 26th. That said, 2024 has to better, right?

I’m sorry Ras. That is rough.

As my uncle used to say, you’re a good egg.

[George Cumby]

Skinbasket will be claiming Love should have been benched 4 games ago.

Hahahahahahaha.

[red]

whos hurt, i wasn't paying attention

[Rastak]

I’m sorry Ras. That is rough.

As my uncle used to say, you’re a good egg.


Thanks Fritz.

[RashanGary]

Hope you can find some peace, ras. Sorry to hear :(

[red]

whos hurt, i wasn't paying attention

nvm

myers, no big loss

might be an improvemen

long pass to melton

[Anti-Polar Bear]

But he said Love should pay him to go to games because he makes Love play good.

I actually like Aikman. Collinsworth, despite sounding like Cleveland Brown, is kinda annoying with obvious shit.

Yea, the WR fucked up, we know. Quit barking about it nonstop.

[George Cumby]

Hahahahahaha.

[red]

happy new year everyone

good game for us

sorry for you ras

[RashanGary]

You dont see a big difference the way the ball comes off Loves hand from the guys before him. But Clifford, that’s not what we’re used to there.

[Rastak]

Hope you can find some peace, ras. Sorry to hear :(

It's fine, just sucks. Thanks.

[Rastak]

Happy New Year.

[red]

fight after the game

aaron jones got punched in the face

not sure if it was one of our guys or one of theirs that caught him

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Wicks and Booth seem to have some history. A bit of a post game pushing there.

[MadtownPacker]

You too and everyone here. Been a tough end of the year, my brother-in-law who was a fantastic fellow and my age died in November. My uncle died December 26th. That said, 2024 has to better, right?
Keep your head up man. We made it another year.

[George Cumby]

I really like Tucker Kraft.

Between the stiff arm burying the DB and jumping into the fight at the end of the game, we might have that edgy enforcer on offense.

[Rastak]

Not sure but one of the Packers non players threw one and connected. Not sure if the NFL gives a shit. They flow with the wind. Rules are kinda fluid.

[Rastak]

That is true amigo.

[MadtownPacker]

He finally gets some LOVE in the post game!!

[Fritz]

You know, I didn’t want the playoffs that bad, with the inevitability of the defense.

The Bears are playing great. They could well lose to da Bears. But the fact they’re playing a meaningful game in the last game is significant and will be good for the young team. It will help them down the road.

[Rastak]

yeah, hillsborough was worse, but wasn't fan vs fan, just crazy fans

my favorite was the bradford city fire, where fans ran on to the field and were celebrating like jackasses, while other people were being burned alive


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctT8_LiD2cU

Watching that now.

[MadtownPacker]

Yup Fritz, it is nice to have something to root for besides a higher draft pick.

[Fritz]

Not sure but one of the Packers non players threw one and connected. Not sure if the NFL gives a shit. They flow with the wind. Rules are kinda fluid.

Agreed.

[RashanGary]

Yeah, for sure, the way it’s played out, it’s really builds momentum. They know if the work this offseason they’re in it and that builds excitement and motivation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctT8_LiD2cU

Wow, that's crazy. Hadn't seen that before.

[Fosco33]

As always - I have no idea how this game is gonna go. Part of me thinks we’ll lose / so we’ll probably play an amazing game.

Packers 34
Vikings 17

I’ll take it

[texaspackerbacker]

Well, I waded through the whole 17 pages, and it's damn funny seeing a bunch of dumbass negativists finally coming around to the REALITY (as somebody said early in the thread) that their idea of Reality was pure bullshit. It also was pleasing to see that God damned Viking troll shithead - who shouldn't even be on OUR forum - see his world turn to shit as his worthless team crumbles. Fuck him and every other Viking fan.

This was one helluva fantastic game! I'll save comments for the Banjo and S & D threads.

[texaspackerbacker]

I see there is no banjo thread yet hahahaha.

Joe Barry: I say this as somebody who has hated on him as much or more than anybody. It seems that they D players rallied around him tonight - one explanation anyway for the good/borderline great game they played. That would seem to say something about Barry as a leader. I still think he is gone after this season, but more than ever, I could see LaFleur offering him a respectable way to go.

The O Line was decent tonight - a lot like last year, plenty of solid runs up the middle. I hope Myers ain't badly hurt, because he did a damn good job IMO opening holes along with Jenkins and the equally much maligned Runyan. Did ya'all notice who took over at Center when Myers went out? Runyan, not Tom or Jenkins or whoever ya'all might wish for.

I hope and to some extent think the Packers find a way to keep both Jones and Dillon.

Love really does seem realistically like the next HOF Packer QB. You just know, same as Rodgers, that he is not gonna throw it to the other team. Reading defenses, off-platform throws, being a calm leader, he sure seems like the real deal. I said long ago, and negativist fools whined about it, that he already is probably top 5 -10 in the NFL. I would upgrade that now hahahaha. '

I hear a lot of whining also about Collingsworth as a commentator. I have never hated the guy, and in comparison to most of those guys, he has most of them beat.

[CaptainKickass]

Is it perhaps better to run with the dogs who got you here?

Woof

[RashanGary]

Tex, you said we would toil in mediocrity without the goat and that love would be lucky to be average or maybe above average.

[texaspackerbacker]

Consider me flip-flppping hahahaha. I was wrong before I was right. Now I am more sold on Love than just about anybody - I probably should have figured that out sooner, but whatever. I also have gone from that wrongheaded mediocrity crap I previously spewed to totally all in on the quality of the Packers team - also earlier and more than most in here.

So mark this down, I'm admitting I was wrong. As a great man - dead now - once said, I've been wrong maybe 4 or 5 times in my life. This ups it to 6 or 7. I'd say who that great man was, but it might get me suspended hahahaha.
