Apparently the Packers Suck!

[channtheman]

Can you be happy about a win but not necessarily be happy about how the team be played?

Yaaaaaaaaaaaar!

Apparently not. I posted some things I didn't like and get attacked like I'm anti Packer fan.

There's no doubt this team has plenty of room for improvement. Plenty.

But who doesn't? Which team doesn't have questions?

Which team out there is buzzing along and will continue to do that all the way to the Super Bowl? The Jets? The Vikings? The Patriots?

It's a long season with a lot of ups and downs. I think it's pertinent to discuss what needs work, for sure. On the other hand, I think that just bitching - and I'm not saying you did that - but in general, just bitching as if the team lost seems pretty weak. There seem to be people that are just plain bitter, and that's scary.

I'll take Drew Barrymore in a mumu or a tutu or a hula hoop.

Re: Apparently the Packers Suck!

I did not get to see nor follow the game today because I was watching my daughter play soccer. On the way home, I heard on the radio that the Packers had won, 36-17. That sounded like a reasonable score, so I thought maybe they'd righted the ship.

Wait. We missed the important question here. How'd she do?

Yeah the bitching about the win like the MM hotseat topic are a little much. But if anyone read my post in this topic, I don't see where I deserved to get yelled at by the other posters. And then told I need therapy. I mean seriously?

Like Brett Favre said today, "Any time you can win a game in this league it is special."

Hard to spit fire and brimstone about a win.

This defense still hasn't learned to attack the run, but I did like to see the combination of Bishop and Hawk in the game on early downs. I do not like how Kampman is playing linebacker. He just stands on the line of scrimmage like a goon.

Hawk had a relatively nice day with 6 tackles coming inside the "box", 4 others coming down field. One radio caller on the post game did complain about his play, claiming he couldn't cover a running back in the open field and how he can't get off blocks, so I guess I understand the fact of not being able to please all fans. I also can understand the 90% of all fans don't know what the fuck they are actually watching.

She did fine. She's a good player - middle defender, fastest kid on the team and usually on the field.

And she didn't get hurt. So it's good.

As a Ram fan as well I will say the Rams might be the worst team in the NFL

Cleveland takes issue with this. And I wouldn't give up on the Lions just yet.

Chann --

Sacks: Less than last week. Much improved. A couple sacks in the first quarter.

Running game: Actually were able to keep the clock running in the fourth quarter. Haven't been able to do that.

Penalties: Less than we've had all year.

Drops: Less than we've had per game. Big plays that were dropped before were caught today. Nelson had a drop but made a huge catch later. We had two one-handed catches on long plays.

Everything about today is a big improvement.

And the game was NOT closer than the score indicated. At no point did I ever legitimately feel how I did against the Bears and/or Cincy ... I never felt a hint of nervousness that the Rams were going to pull off a victory or that they were playing better than us. Two fluke plays with Chillar lined up at safety gave up 14 points. Other than that Jackson had a few yards... big deal.

This is your problem. You're so sensitive. The therapy thing was a joke. Everyone in here knew it, excpet you. So....on second thought, maybe you should check it out (for real.....no joke.....seriously....get some). :P

Good point. I see that I have been looking at it a little bit too harshly. I didn't like how our red zone offense looked in the first 3 possessions at all though we did have the one botched pass by Rodgers. Also coming out of the half with 2 3 and outs really sucks. We did improve in a lot of areas from the first two weeks and that is a good thing.

I disagree with you though. I felt throughout the game that we were gonna give it away. I don't know why though.

Better than horrible != good, though.

It's a step in the right direction, sure, but I don't think they're going to come close to hanging with the Vikes if they play like they did today. They left 12 points of the board early (when they should have stepped on the throat of the vastly inferior team).

I think that this might be why I felt so nervous about the game. Anytime you have big chances to put the game away and don't it can backfire on you.

Get your priorities in line Fritz.

I know, I know.

I'm a slacker.

The problem - the real problem - is that they won when I didn't watch.

Do I get to watch next Monday or must I not-watch so they win?

I watched the Bears game and the Pack won.

I watched parts of the Bengals game online and the Pack lost, though when I left off they were ahead.

Wait - I think this means I must either watch the whole thing or not watch at all. Any partial watching is doom for the Pack.

I bear such a heavy burden.
