Packers defense - WHAT!

[Harlan Huckleby]

Hundley would have to be activated.

Good, he can play catch with Abby on sideline.

Even if Perry is out with worst case scenario - 6-8 weeks - it is not tragic. Point is to have relatively healthy team near end of season. They have enough depth to win home field.

How true that is.

It's time to all agree TT finally gave Dom Capers the talent to have an above average defense. So give the DOMINATOR credit

Since Wist is not here to agree I'll just second the notion for him

Bretsky, you are a scholar and a hot-lesbian-loving gentleman.

Obviously it'd be speculation (unless you know, aren't you guys friends IRL?), but is wist not here entirely because the defense is playing well? Seems silly.

The correlation fits previous times where the Packers defense is playing well.

I know that I disappear when the Packers' season is over due to a tough loss. I stayed away after the Seattle game for months. Not because I didn't want to hear the "I told you so's" (though I didn't) but because I was so heartbroken I couldn't talk Packers at all, with anyone, without throwing up in my mouth a little. Not that I mind the taste of my own throw-up so much - it's not great, but it's along the lines of being able to tolerate one's own farts - but it makes the people around me a little ill. Especially my wife when I try to kiss her.

I stay away after a season-ending loss because it hurts too much. I stop discussing football, period, for a few months. I ask myself why the hell I spend so much time reading and writing about a group of paid professionals whom I root for simply because they wear a certain colored helmet. Then, like any addict, I find myself tempted ("It'll be different this time!") by the draft, and I start up again.

I suspect Wist would rather be right and have the Packers lose than be wrong and watch them win, but really, I don't know. He may be having health problems. If so, I wish him well, even though I can't stand his posts. But I do wish him well.

I'm exactly the same. You guys don't usually see me come back until draft time, but it's never about me getting called out or anything, even though I rarely make strong enough proclamations for that to come into play. I'm the one-post peanut gallery offering little of value.
This year was especially bad for me (obviously not alone) and I think the SB winning year, I spent more time on the board during the offseason by contrast.

I think wist is probably over the moon right now and thus doesn't need us as his combination rant-audience/support group. I'm sure the number of people jonesing to force feed him some crow isn't exactly expediting his return but he'll be back. And when he does return he'll be unapologetic, take credit for whatever went well, create an echo chamber of hyperbole for whatever didn't, come up with a new nickname for Capers, and traffic on the site will triple.

Weren't his last two posts on the Packer forum right about the 2nd half when the Seahawks put together two good drives in a row?

Bretsky, you are a scholar and a hot-lesbian-loving gentleman.

you just reminded me of the funniest euphemism in the english language, "gentleman's club"
