Official Packers vs. Falcons NFC Title Game Discussion Thread

I think you're both full of shit.

[vince]

Well you've convinced me then.

I join you in the valid opinion "we don't know if he should play."

All other opinions reflect only ignorant bias.

(Above is baloney, of course, you were revealing your bias as much as anyone. You want to see Jordy play based on the avail. details. You weren't presenting any arguments why he should sit.)

I did state that it seems like the decision will be based on protection from more serious injury and pain threshold related to achieving full range of motion.

I have no idea whether he should sit or play.

I bet you never played a down of football in your life. You strike me as a doughy pussy.

I just started thinking about my brother. He was a GREAT athlete, could have been a good QB. But he just didn't play. He did wrestling and tennis. In my hometown, this was a crazy thing to do. Even the stoners with athletic abilities played football. My brother didn't want to get yelled at by coaches in August and get into violent collisions. He loved everything about playing football in the backyard for fun. He was way better than anybody else in high school.

I think my brother was 30 years ahead of the time. Me, I'm still getting into violent collisions, only online now.

EDIT: Tretter put on I/R.

Some WR named Max McSomething or another going into a Super Bowl? Get him drunk the night before and I am all in on this one.

In fact, I played multiple downs. Here's a photo from my HS yearbook. I played scatback and survived many violent collisions sustaining only nominal brain damage.

I think his last name is McFuckdoggle.

Related to Ed?

Edit:

McCaffrey, 22, is the son of former Pro Bowl receiver Ed McCaffrey and older brother of Christian McCaffrey, who is currently projected as a first-round pick in this year's draft.

Because it's "today's way" of safety and never taking risks and following directions and acting like you don't have a penis and gender identity crisis and angry bitter homosexuals who don't feel accepted and whiny crying emo grown children who could be acting like accountable, adaptable, thriving adults but instead are crying about being opressed by men. What the actual fuck is this 30 years ahead you aspire to? It's a fucking joke, today's time. It's a bunch of idiot sheeple being lead around like cattle to slaughter, being influenced by media and news and horrible entertainment that's constantly planting seeds of dissatisfaction and confusion about the simplest parts of being human.

Following the laws of nature and of ones own nature is not oppression or societal idiocy. It's good and normal. Some people like to compete, like to thrive as a team, like overcoming adversity and rising above a dangerous situation together. But to have those feelings of social achievement and relief and jubilation, the element of danger and suspense has to be there. Some people love it. They're not trying to be macho or prove anything. They're social and human and it's part of being human for some of us. Get over your attempts at trying to intellectualize the human experience and lessen the nature of it all. This is all a bunch of spoon fed brainwashing to socially engineer a pack of spineless idiots who never question the books they're being taught from so believe their ridiculous educations as if it came from a higher authority. Pffft. Fuck that. Try listening to your own soul instead of this intellectualized brainwashing garbage that comes from media, entertainment and state controlled education. It's so obvious, the social programming.

It feels good to win as a team. It feels good to take a risk for the team. It feels good to overcome as a team. That's natural for some of us. Stop the intellectualizing of humanity. The mind is limited. It doesn't work. Some things just are and rationalization doesn't change it.

When one of my nephews was about six years old, he came out into the living room full of company, rubbing his penis through his pajamas. My sister, his mom, said "Cody, what are you doing?"

"I'm rubbing myself," he replied. "It feels good."

"Cody, you can't do that in front of people!"

My nephew paused for a moment. "Oh, okay," he said. "I'm going back to my room now."

[RashanGary]

I don't know if public masterbation is the same as wanting to contribute to the team cause, but nature is nature, lol. I'm sure a string of reality or god or whatever you call it, interweaves through both.

Ha ha, Cody doesn't quite match up to Harlan's bro: he's only 6 years ahead of his time!

Sounds a lot like high school football practice 40 years ago.

[hoosier]

Predict tomorrow's inactives (7):

Callahan
Elliott
Kerridge
Murphy
Ringo
Starks
Allison*

The decision to activate McCaffrey doesn't make much sense unless they plan to have him active. I suppose they might have done it in case someone has a setback after today, but my guess is that MM isn't as confident in Allison's ability to play hurt as he is with Nelson and Adams, and thus McCaffrey is the sixth receiver and would play if Nelson or Adams had to drop out.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Our high school football summer was exactly like army boot camp, only less pleasant. We had two-a-days, for chrissakes. Early morning practice, then another long afternoon practice. We were always dehydrated, of course.

It was basically a fantasy camp for the men who coached. A lot of yelling and drills. There was very little scrimmaging -you know, playing football. The kids just hated it. Blocking sleds - what drudgery.

The games themselves were a blast. But that was just a small part of it. I remember the happiest day of the season was when it ended. And it wasn't just me, it was like liberation day. Like the end of boot camp in the army.

There are a hundreed sports that are more fun for kids. Basketball, soccer, wrestling, baseball, tennis .....

Totally off topic but...

Tomorrow is the last game in the Georgia Dome. It opened in 1992. Do stadiums only last 25 years these days?
