Thank You Packerrats I'm now a Proud Member of the 25K Post Club.

[mraynrand]

^^^ sounds like true love, Freak

[Freak Out]

Thank You : Freak Out. Your the later night member I read here often. A constant contributor to MJZiggy's awesome Jukebox thread. Are you a Vampire?

I see you as 'a man of the world'. You get around and lead a very eclectic and interesting life. Your a solidly loyal Packer fan and would be interesting as a weekend companion in any setting you choose to drop into. You have a desire to enjoy some of the finer beverages and foods offered in this part of the world....I couldn't help not notice your tastes and in particularly that for good beer and spirits.

I imagine you to be some sort of business man who has to travel or get around to better your life for yourself and those you care for. You take a certain pride in proper conditioning.

Your 'the Master' of 'the short on words post'. Even a 'LOL' from you.... rings loud and clear. You bring your personal message to this board and have gained a certain unique respect for yourself.

Packerrats values you Freak Out as a loyal member.

Happy New Year Packer fan.

I hope you'll be fully mended soon and thus able to partake in all you endeavour to enjoy and enhances your quality of life.

Peace Out ......woodbuck27

GO PACK GO !

AK time my friend. Although I do stay up late a couple nights a week.

[Freak Out]

I would really love to meet some "Rats" again.....not Madtown though.

Evidently Freak needs a new avatar

[HowardRoark]

It's even more impressive with Wood because each post is 5 paragraphs in length. Sort of like a batter seeing 7 pitches every at-bat.

Speaking of bats.....

[Freak Out]

Evidently Freak needs a new avatar

Not far off actually. I am a bit younger though.

Thank You Wist43..... I pay you this respect ... I'm a Wist43 fan.:

A) Your tireless efforts at Packerrats and all that while not in the best health ( I hope your feeling stronger Wist43 ).

B) Your way of seeing things especially in regards to the 'Front Seven'; and in particular the proper utilization of the LBer position........ is intriguing.

Some members oppose your views and may deem your attitude wrong. I've often wondered...Are those members wearing the "I'm a Homer" Tee..

All the same your never side tracked....You make your regular post game contribution that makes this a better place. Your FIRST and all that should really matter here ....a Packer fan.

I'm on your side Wist43...... It's all about the team being properly prepared and then play well and hopefully the BONUS ! Complete that game as ' the Victor '.

JUST WIN !

You cannot make the best soup with inferior ingredients. TT and MM <<< It's on those guy's to ensure the BEST ingredients from an acquisition..... coaching...communicating game prep standpoint. The Packer roster has to have the depth required in an NFL; wherein the Big Prize comes down to talent and surviving adversity.

TT has to make a daily mental check on the fact he and MM need the very best 53 Man roster. Upgrading that 53 Man Roster has to be 'a Primary Focus'.

An Imaginary message ......as possibly , Ted Thompson ignores the sound resource that's Packerray See Bill Belichick TT.

Your tough on Packers DC Dom Capers Wist43.

In my view of this huge game at Arizona Sat. evening...If Dom Capers cannot game plan to get to Carson Palmer and disrupt the Cardinals 'O' we ... will... lose... the... game.

If the defense underperforms; isn't properly coordinated to pressure Carson Palmer. We might see ... a Final Score > 2 TD loss ? I havn't checked the Line out of Vegas yet.

If the Packer 'D' doesn't apply pressure Vs the pass. Serious consideration should be paid to ...NO ! ! ..... DC Dom Capers should be replaced. When I look back at huge games since the Packers won their last Super Bowl. I was pleased with how the Pack handled Bill Belichick's side last year @ Lambeau. Otherwise I cannot find for Dom Capers and DC going forward. Capers has.... like the Pack's former wash as a ST Coach had; too much time to get it right.
Dom Capers and MM have to get the best out of defenders like CM III, Julius Peppers and Mike Daniels. We need to see the new players that are starting and the Subs step it up or go 'ALL IN '. Hopefully we see CB Sam Shields back but realistically what can we expect from Sam. We must see BJ Raji demonstrate more than a huge lump of 'small m' man that's easily pushed off balance to the side of the real action point. Damn BJ Raji....I just don't get that guy. I see BJ Raji as a waste of a Roster spot as a starter and $ Cap $. Sorry BJ Raji and TT fans........but I do......errrr don't. LOL

Funny how posters here will stand on my face and feel that BJ Raji is the REAL Deal. He's a BIG MAN that's way too often pushed to his knees.....far out of the play. How often we see BJ Raji on the ground or otherwise neutralized by an offensive lineman that owns him.

** The Packers OL is vital and must protect their QB. JC Tretter did a decent job filling in at LT in spite of his resume. That was noticed by football experts on our TSN Program. ... and especially by Canada's Expert Analyst, Chris Schultz. Schultzy is a fine football guy and what he says is often intriguing / impressive. Too many analysts can't fill his boots. I some times wonder if the crap they spill out of their mouth isn't simply to confuse us Pro Pickem' NFL fans. If their receiving pay checks to elicit foolishness.

The other thing with former NFL players turned analyst. They remain loyal to their former teams and that results in subjective bias and what they tell us overall NFL fans; so........... buyer beware.

My advice...read... read ...and read more.

*** Get things NFL inside of you.


THANKS AGAIN Wist43.

I've a lot of members to respond to in this thread.

GO PACKERS ! GO PACK GO !!

[mraynrand]

When Freak takes a break to get a beer, The Packers pause their game.

[woodbuck27]

Woody, the Hanson brothers raise their sticks to salute you.

Hey Harlan: Thanks so much.

Remember way back at JSO and We ran the Huck and Buck Comedy Show. That was a load of fun.

The night we had to face off Vs Shinbasket and Nutz. Wow those members......wheuuuuu ! Their gibs cut from a different bolt of cloth ...for sure. Good Times !!!!

Those were some wild and crazy days. Then we went to what? Christian (Explorer?) or something like that!?

Imagine the courage of that Forum's owner taking on this Rag Tag assortment of incredible personality's...Ohh Man ! The worst Pirate Ship had sweeter people. I mean the way it once was. These days are a far cry from the madness of old.

Thanks for any support you ever gave for me Harlan. The general membership doesn't really know the full essence of woodbuck27 and 25 K posts. I believe you do.

Sometimes you have to just set down that plough and do those rows. Screw any deterrents / distractions. Land full on the opposition. I'm so pleased that crap has ended except for an echo of what once existed here. It seems in my experience. There's an ever present character that exists in every community

That sort provides us with a certain brand of entertainment and a point of focus to realize just how good our esteem is in comparison.

All the same and now:

I doubt very much if any place exists quite as awesomely wonderful and colorfully dysfunctional at times as Packerrats has been. Those of us that remain loyal to OUR PACKER Home are such winners !

Congratulations to all Packerrats ......y'all share a superior experience here ! Much more than OUR NFL Team and Rastak's Vikings loyalty to boot. This site is fully ready to accommodate whatever you desire to discuss .... to contribute.

Harlan I realize you had a huge part in the evolution of what we are today.

Thank You Packer fan.



I LOVE THIS PLACE !

GO PACK GO !

[Harlan Huckleby]

Then we went to what? Christian (Explorer?) or something like that!?

I thought this still was a religious site. Has there been a hostile takeover? Saints preserve us!

[mraynrand]

I thought this still was a religious site. Has there been a hostile takeover? Saints encourage us!

FIFY

[woodbuck27]

Mad's constant efforts to make this forum awesome? Now that's funny. Congrats, Woody.

Harvey:

What can I write that characterizes what you mean to me as a Packer and NFL fan and fellow poster.

I'll make thus short n sweet. (maybe NOT ) You Sir know football.

Your in a class with few others on this forum that I acknowledge as the Ultimate Football Fan.

I have you in a close tie with my Ole Pal here 'B'. or Bretzky.

Wowzerr ! It's just like Wayne Gretzky or... a difficult name to recall the proper spelling.

I'll add this Harvey. To be mentioned in the same classification in terms of the esteem I hold for the poster I affectionately refer to as 'B' is high praise indeed,

Thanks Harvey for being a Co-member of Green Bay Packer going back a decade now to JSO and our evolution to where we are now. Members of what may well be the BEST NFL Team Fan Forum in existence.

I think also that the design of Packerrats is just fine. I think I read or dreamed LOL...that some member here wasn't pleased with our owners taste and all this Forum is in terms of features and COLOR and overall design.

That had to be a minor nightmare. This Forum ROCKS in terms of it's features and ways/means to post with style...pizazz.

Sometimes it's been a wee ..no a whole lot heated here and especially as the sides were drawn and this over a Packer Legend.

Everyone here knows. My support for Brett Favre is timeless.

If there was a word to describe Brett Favre that exceeded the word LEGENDARY....he indeed deserves that compliment.

I've been known to be STRONG in terms of my views. If I ever pissed you off. I'm deeply sorry Harvey.

I always respected you.




TRULY Devoted and Dedicated Green Bay Packer fan

This has been me since 1958 - 59.......starting at and throughout the Vince Lombardi Era. Those were the DAYS and Green Bay Packers. The word that comes to mind:

domination

Thanks again HarveyWallbangers.....It's been good and educational to read your posts. Through your knowledge and football I've been challenged to grow.


PACKERS FOREVER !!


My Name is Ed.

[woodbuck27]

As a friend once responded to a dying 6 lb Walleye.... flopping around furiously on the filleting table:

" Calm down please....I'll soon get to you....you'll just have to be patient."

I certainly need to think what I should write concerning my fellow posters.

Again......Thanks so much.

[mraynrand]

I know I'm looking forward to another 25K of riveting tales from the woodbuck, such as his contaminated water well/chipmunk diarrhea bowel sharts. Eww.

[woodbuck27]

congrats!

Thanks Justin Harrell.

I remember when the team was in it's growing sages after Favre you'd post some of the best analysis here

I miss your more regular and keen insight into things Green bay Packer.
