I am not wasting my Sundays

[George Cumby]

I watched this video with my just-turned-7-year-old son. He asks what we were watching and I tell him how this is when we beat the Bears in the 80's. He asks me, totally innocently "Oh, was that in the old, old days?" I just reply "I love you, son." He leaves somewhat bemused by the whole thing.

I'm pretty sure the Pack will represent the NFC in the Super Bowl this Feb. a la 2010. As long as Rodgers comes back the week after Thanksgivng, the Pack will roll. Our running game is better, Rodgers is better. Our defense is similar albeit less turnovers, but we will make up for it with time of position from running 35 times a game.

this team stinks, I'm done wasting 4 hrs on sunday for this pile of sh*t, maybe next year it will be better

Rage quit.

I love how it's people that are never around when things are going well who come out of the woodwork when things aren't going well.

I'm with ya Harv. We should get together for a game this season some time at the PT.

If this team does get into the playoffs, look out though. We'd be looking at 2010 again and everybody will be saying we are dangerous. I'm hold out hope that I'll be able to bump some threads later in the year.

I'd agree but I'm getting concerned about making it. This week is a must win.

Unfortunately I think Detroit will probably take the North. SF is looking like the first WC team at this time. That leaves us, Bears, and Panthers. Panthers still have to play NE at home and home and away with Saints. Would have helped if they had lost at SF on Sunday.

The kool-aide is strong in here

This is no place for the faint of heart.

You've decided to waste Mad's bandwidth instead?

The game this week-end was just so frustrating. Couldn't score on offense, despite having the ball ALL day long. What was the time of possession before Philly's last drive? They got the ball with 9 minutes left in the game and didn't give it back, but before that I think the Pack doubled them. Defense...I don't know, it just looked bad. Giving up the big play is back.

[Smidgeon]

So, you are a fan only when they play well and win?

+1

[Pugger]

With the injuries we have right now its unrealistic to expect them to produce the same results. Its sucks but to complain about not being about to watch this team after a 2 game losing streak is fucking lame especially with the players we are without.

Agreed.

[Pugger]

That's one real reason we remain Packer fans.

We recall and hold on and hope for those types of moments when we'll all cheer again.

GO PACK GO !

I was at that game and I'll never forget it!

Not saying I am not a fan quite the opposite, just not gonna watch a sh*tty defense for 4 hours, I can go to my high school game and see better effort. I just gonna give it a rest for a bit

The Packers TOP was just over 34 mins.

MM said in his presser that you cannot survive many games when the defense gives up three passing plays for scores over the top.

This is exactly why I DVR almost every game now. I can sit through shitty football, because I like watching the individual match-ups and the bright spots in the darkness. What I cannot sit through is shitty football and the same fucking 8 commercials all day. Sunday I got to hunt, come in and eat a chili brunch, play a game for a bit to satisfy my terrible need to micromanage meaningless statistics, watch the first half of football while zipping past the ads, then go hunt again, drink some beer with the neighbors, and finally finish watching the game over dinner. Time "wasted" was minimal and most of the other activities that day were a higher priority in my enjoyment of life.

I have watched Packer games that way since I bought my first VTR (video tape recorder- reel to reel, not cassette) 30+ years ago.

I am willing to invest a couple hours watching a recorded football game at a time and in blocks of my choosing. I am not willing to waste a typical Sunday afternoon planted on my couch for 3 hours or more.
