Post Game Chat with Cleft Crusty (at Bengals)

I could care less if the Packers win or lose, except that when they lose I have more fun with crazy people, trolls, etc. It's delicious to counter spoiled fans who expect wins every week and decompensate when they lose.

I'd say you're going to post a lot this season then and hence troll PR with your pseudo Packer knowledge and glee.

For what it's worth (probably not much), Matthews doesn't think he'll miss any time. http://www.packers.com/news-and-even...4-86926887b5fd

“I’ll be good,” Matthews said regarding his injury. “I think today was more of a preventive measure than anything. I felt like I could go out there, but we have to be smart with this, especially going into the bye week. I don’t see myself missing any time.

Rub a couple of blondes on it and see me in two weeks.

It depends on what you based your prediction, and who considered it far-fetched. If you based your prediction on the Packers losing all their running backs to injuries by the third game, or having half their team out with concussion or hammy injuries (including their top defensive player), then you should get a consulting job with Miss Cleo or John Edward. If you were just basing it on pointless negativism, you should be proud of your role as internet troll.

Packers are headed in a great direction. Despite a sub-par performance from Rodgers, and a lot of bad injuries, they whipped the Bengals on their home field, amassing nearly 200 yards rushing. They are capable of beating the tar out of any team, but they have to be healthy to do it.

When I got home from work on Friday the first thing out of my first-grader's mouth was "Did people used to eat tar?" I asked him what prompted that idea but, before he could answer, the phone rang and the conversation thread got lost. I am now wondering if he drew that impression from hearing some such idiom on the playground.

So are the Packers a good team with close losses to a top NFC and AFC team, or are they a team that only managed to beat one of the worst teams in the league while losing to a sloppy Bengals team that gift wrapped 4 TO's deep in their own territory, and an overrated 49'ers team that has gained fewer yards in two games than the Packers let them have in one?

Yes.

The ironic thing about the 49ers game is that, because the Packers played them in the opener, the Packers essentially game-planned for and were playing against the team that beat them in the Divisional game, not the team that was lined up across from them. The Packers were so paranoid about giving up 200 yards to Kaepernick in the RO, that they essentially played off in the pass game. The Packers probably would have been more successful against the Niners had they played them deeper into the season and could figure out what this year's Niners team was capable of doing.
