Can Packer Rats be saved?

[VegasPackFan]

I am not so sure.

Every thread seems to devolve into the same tired arguments about Ted Thompson/Brett Favre. This place always had great football talk, analysis and insight, along with good, spirited debate.

I find myself visiting less and less often. I was one of the guys that came along for the ride from JSO to the Christian site to here. I am seriously wondering if we will ever get back to the cool stuff that made it fun to read this every day.

I almost have to chuckle as each thread goes down the toilet. It is so predictable and old.

It can, issue a statement to all involved and if it gets ignored....OUT you go.

It sounded like Mad warned Tank, you create puppet accounts you get booted. He did, he get's booted.

I had to stop the bickering, I am not changing how I feel I have just decided to not talk or write about it on here. Nobody is changing their minds and for everyone that chooses the "I told you so" argument regardless of side there are 100s of reasons why it matters or doesn't matter.

The only thing that we fools can know for certain is that Brett Favre is a New York Jet. Aaron Rodgers is the starting QB for the Packers. The Packers are 4-5. The Jets are 6-3.

The bottom line, this isn't just PackerRats. Many internet Packer forums are entertaining this same argument as we speak.

So I assume this thread will get blown up with the argument at around post 12.

There is some very good football stuff going on here......you just have to be willing to sort through the BS sometimes to find it. The TT vs Favre stuff will go on for this season and into next if he plays well......oh well.

PR is just fine.

I don't understand how anyone could think there would NOT be Favre talk this season, being his first season not with the Packers. Even if he had stayed retired there would have been talk and comparisons....it's just what happens when a player like Favre hands off the torch to a new QB. I'd be surprised if you could find a Packer forum out there that's not experiencing the same thing. However, I do wish posters would be more respectful, and not slobber all over the situation, so to speak. (from either point of view)

Did you notice that our place kicker missed a 52 yarder with time running out. How come when Longwell or any other of those Viking kickers need a long FG in the piece of crap dome to win a game THEY hit is but our guy, who normally kicks on a crappy surface shanks a relatively easy kick. COME ON! MAKE THE KICK. 5-4 vs. 4-5 - the psychological difference is overwhelming. Oh. well, I just need a long walk to clear my head. I think I will only pee on trees in the yards of Viking fans.

PR is just fine.

It is fine for Favre fans now, Favre is up, Packers/Rodgers down.

A few weeks ago when the situation was reversed, you were threatening to quit!

The amount of taunting by Favre Fans recently has been over the top. I recently became a Favre Fan myself, so I'm happy now, too.

Go Jets!

qft

i wonder what will happen if brett has bad game on thursday. will people start threads about how great a decison tt and the gang made regarding lord favre.....? its not like the die-hard favre fans out-number the tt apologists.

i recall several posters coming into the brett/jet thread bashing him (personally i can take the ribbing/rubbing in face b/c favre's not my blood kin). but now that the packs struggling theyre no where to be found. i dont see anything wrong with banter; folks just shouldnt be rude, name call or take this place too seriously imo

its the only game on so i imagine more folk around here will be tuning in and hopefully cheering for our qb from jan 08

I think most people have lost interest in the story.

I really am rooting for Favre now, time heals all wounds.

You have that all wrong hun, I was not quiting PR....I was quiting my worthless, going nowhere, senseless conversation with you!! Big difference!

and...

I don't taunt!

[Harlan Huckleby]

I don't taunt!

I know you don't.

but I do!

Mobb, we've already had weeks where Favre has been down, Packers/Rodgers cruising. And there has been some noise from the TT apologists, as we like to call them. But lets be honest, the taunting from us Favre fans - you, me, gex, paco and GRBRulz, etc. has been greater.
