  • Packer Fans = Hypocrites

    Well what sums it up is taking a look at the Thread titled, "Dirty Hit". The once captain of the Packers, the World's Toughest Man, all of our hopes and aspirations when it came to the Packers is now being labeled a dirty player because of one shitty, shitty block as a Viking.

    I hope all your sympathy cards are mailed to that poor defenseless Houston Texan.

    If Favre made that block as a Packer you all would be holding your head high about your QB and his fearlessness.

    Maybe I don't actually hate Ted Thompson, maybe my anger stems at all of you jackass Packer fans
    __________________________________________________ ________


    Favre didn't know the rules, although that doesn't excuse him from making the block. It was a bad block, it is illegal for a reason. What I want to know, is how fucking stupid do you have to be as a head coach to have your 39 year old QB line up in the slot and ask him to attempt a crack block in the 3rd quarter of a pre season game? To me that is where the stupidity comes in.

    Chilly Should be the one fined by the NFL for being the biggest jackass in week 3 of the preseason.

    Comments on the Vikings preseason game in direct relation to the NFC NORTH and the Packers. The Vikings didn't look real smooth on offense, and it wasn't Favre. Sure he might have missed some line calls, and protection calls, but the line did not pick up the blitz very well, and they had a hard time handling the athletic defensive linemen of the Texans. Favre looked a step slow. Age is catching up to him. He is like your old John Deere Tractor, it still runs and can do all the things it use to, but it is covered in a thin layer of rust, and 4th gear is jammed, and it sometimes doesn't go into reverse. Because it is older you don't want to over do it, so as an operator you treat it a little conservative. You don't open up the throttle all the way. you maybe rent a newer tractor for digging ditches or doing some serious plowing.

    Anyways, the offense isn't clicking just yet, but you can tell Favre likes the young receiver from Florida Percy Harvin. It is hard not to like the combination of Peterson and Taylor. Both are really good backs, Taylor is good enough to start for 75% of the teams in the NFL and has the ability to be a pro bowl type back.

    The Texans where able to put the ball in the end zone at least once against the Vikes 1st string defense. I think teams like the Packers are going to do well against the Vikings defense. Now that Rodgers looks to be more comfortable in the pocket, especially being able to go through his progression faster on shorter drops will help against the Vikes.

    Right now I rank the division as such

    1. Packers 11-5
    2. Vikings 10-6
    3. Bears 9-7
    4. Lions 3-13

    He's been in the league for 16 years and he didn't know the rules?
    Did he actually say this or are you just grasping for straws trying to defend him?

    I can see your point about how Packer fans would have seen what Favre did in a different light if he had done it when dressed in green and gold. Some fans, at least, would probably be inclined to see it as further proof of Favre's toughness or his love for the game. But that would be wrong. The only thing it demonstrated was his inability to throw a good, legal block. I don't think it was a dirty play in the sense that Favre wasn't trying to hurt an opponent. It was just an example of Favre being betrayed by his own instincts and doing something dumb or clumsy. Not a big deal but not reason to start crucifying Packer fans as a species either.

        I don't understand this thread; Nutz seems to have the opinion that being a hypocritical fan is a bad thing. Perhaps Retail and Bigguns can rescue the thread with a spirited debate.

          For the record, I didn't think Favre was throwing a dirty block. I thought he was going into v-fib and had collapsed.

            Generally players don't pick up on these rulebook subtleties until they've been in the league for 25 years or so.

              I would have said the same thing I said before, it was a dirty unitentionally hit. HE wasn't trying to hurt anyone just hit him low, with his throwing shoulder.

              He was fearless when he was taking on DE on a reverse not a blind block at the knees.
              Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

                I re-read the thread in question, and think you are grossly exaggerating the reaction by people here to the hit.

                  The guy they should be talking about is Chilly. What a genius--using Favre as lead blocker. it'll be exciting to see what happens if Favre actually catches a pas as receiver.

                    Strawman. There is a difference between labeling a play as dirty and labeling the player as dirty. It was one stupid play for which that there is no good excuse, and no, ignorance is not an excuse.

                    Do you agree that the block should not have been thrown? If yes, then you are as hypocritical as the rest of us.

                      Haha - "Nutz" post is living up to his name. I had to laugh at "all of you jackass packer fans" because you made this post in a packer fan centric internet forum.

                      It's natural for fanatics to desire the demise and/or demonization of one of the greatest players to wear green and gold, now that he is wearing purple and has joined the proverbial "dark side".

                      Simple human nature. We are all hypocrites at times. Including you. Including me.

                      Doesn't mean we can't have some damn fun with it!

                          Rather harsh all-encompassing generalization of Packers fans, and for that alone I think you're nuts.

                          I think some of it is just gold glasses: Sharper hits someone as a packer, its an awesome, Big Time hit. When he does it as a Viking: Cheap Shot Artist. That's just a result of being a fan of your team in the heat of the moment. Now place the drama magnifying glass associated with ol' #4 and you've got the comments that have irked you.

                            This thread is intended to examine your hypocrisy. Please play along.
