  • Booing the home team?

    For what it's worth, I was at Lambeau yesterday, sat under Troy/buck and yes... I booed.

    But I wasn't booing the Packers - but the officials. I'd say that was the case for most of the fans - except some ppl did boo at the half.

    In reading Vic's column - it was mostly filled with sappy comments about not booing the team. It'd hurt their feelings, etc.

    Mostly it was hard to cheer and get loud on defense because the game from every level on both sides and officiating stunk.

    What say you? Did it appear we were booing the team, team and officials, does it matter??

      If the team is producing that poorly, they deserve to be booed. This isn't Pop fucking Warner.

        I was at the game. The offense was definitely getting booed as the 3rd quarter wore on. I don't boo, but I can't blame anyone who did yesterday. The crowd was trying to get into it when the defense was on the field, but after while, I think people were getting depressed. Have to give people something to cheer about. The crowd was certainly into it as the Packers came back in the 4th quarter, despite the shock that the Packers actually had a chance to win the game.

          I can understand wanting to boo the team but what good would that accomplish? All it does is allow fans to vent their frustrations but can it make the team play even worse?

            I always thought it made them play better. If they are playing poorly and the fans booing them makes them sad, we probably don't want them on our team anyway. Putting forth a crap product for all the people who paid to watch you in person and them booing you should light a fire under your ass to play better.

              People pay a crap load of money for those tickets - except the evil tavern owners. If the Packers aren't winning, they should be booed if they aren't left bloody and exhausted on the field by the final gun.

                The lowliest player on the roster makes about four times as much as I do in a year.

                The guys actually being booed make way, way, way, way more than that.

                Hell yes I'll boo them.

                I was glad to hear it when I did. That offense dropped a turd against what is one of the most porous defenses in the league.

                  If they don't like to be booed beat the Fucking Lions!
                  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.

                          Is that Kuhn? Is he still on the team? You know, if TT were a good GM, he would have replaced Kuhn in the offseason with a receiver like AJ Green or Julio Jones, anticipating Nelson's injury. It would be nice to have a competent GM.

                            Ah, the deliciousness of subtle satire. That's why I keep coming back.
