How long did the Garbage Bag in Minneapolis last?

How long did the Garbage Bag in Minneapolis last?

1982-2013.

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.

I'll be very surprised if Jordy plays tomorrow.

Plane touching down in Atlanta was 3.5 hours late. Couldn't leave GB or Appleton because of fog. Had to bus to Milwaukee. Plane met them there, which, given the first sentence, is an interesting development.

The Packers' charter plane to Atlanta for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Falcons was unable to take off from Green Bay's Austin Straubel International Airport because of heavy fog, and the team was forced to bus 125 miles to Milwaukee in order to fly out, according to multiple sources.

The Packers arrived to Atlanta at around 8 p.m. ET, about 3½ hours later than originally scheduled.

The team was originally scheduled to leave Green Bay at 2 p.m. local time Saturday. All commercial flights out of Green Bay and nearby Appleton on Saturday afternoon were canceled.

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.
...

Social engineering doesn't require hundreds of thousands of willing conspirators to enact. All you need to do is control the books and the cirriculum. Influence what's taught and influence what's made important and you influence the mass. One education secretary who's basically an ego maniac following the orders of the powers that be to keep his or her own power position can influence an entire generation of people.

I don't know why that type of training was forced on kids? I know this, when the people at the top want something done, they flood the psyche of the people with entertainment, media and education to the point where the victims themselves (regular people) are doing the bidding for the people who are destroying them.

Take women for example. They actually fight for the liberation to work 40 hours a week. Ha, what a crock of shit. I feel sorry for them. Leave me home. I'll be more than happy to not work. But flood the tv and movies and education with a narrative that they're being ripped off and before long they're fighting to go to a shitty job and raise their kids by themselves. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so tragic. What a load of shit.

Training for football like that is a load of shit. I see why you're offended by it. My oldest son found it to be ridiculous too. Loves sports. Hates practice, the way it's done. Is what it is.

I don't know exactly how we're being socially engineered, but I know it's happening because people are just evolving in a way that's absolutely insane. That and I see the value in it. If I wanted to weaken humanity in a way that left them lost and constantly looking to me for answers, id break families and shove my form of "education" down the throats of fatherless children and I'd make moms so busy they can barely parent and I'd have women fighting men and black white and I'd sit back laughing while a handful of superpower families and I tugged the strings of entertainment, news and education and watch the masses be herded exactly where I wanted them. that's what's happening. That's why people believe a backbone is bad and penises are bad and fighting back is bad. They want an obedient mass.

As I posted in this thread in post #156 , IMO, Green Bay will defeat Atlanta to win the NFC Championship. Much has been discussed about this game already so I'll quickly make my point. Turnovers will be the determining factor in this shootout.

Green Bay --- 38
Atlanta --- 34

GB 33-31

Yet another nail in the coffin - like the Giants or Vikes or whoever having their flight derailed.

The signs are pointing downward.

Atlanta 41
Green Bay 27

Let's get this party started!! Thankful for having got this far, and hoping I don't have to get shitfaced drunk later today to dampen the disappointment.

Packers injured ready to give it a try

Barring any setbacks during pregame workouts, receivers Jordy Nelson (broken ribs), Davante Adams (ankle) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring), and safety Morgan Burnett (thigh) are going to be available, according to a league source.

NFL Network is reporting that Jordy will suit up today and wear some kind of cutom-made kevlar vest, which is what bullet-proof body armor is made of.

The plane just adds to the overcoming-adversity fire. Pack take it 37-34.

I'll be shocked if it's not competitive. It's possible to find a couple of reasons why the Pack might get overwhelmed, but this is the game to determine who's going to the Superbowl. The players should all be focused and leave nothing on the field regardless of any outside motivation. I don't expect to see any uninspired play, so that means it should at least be competitive. We've got nicked up guys and they've got nicked up guys, but still this is for the Superbowl so if they can run on the field then I consider them just as good as 100%. If they're on the field, then they'll be so pumped up that should play like they're 100% for a couple of hours.

It'll come down to the same thing as Dallas. Whose D slows the opponents offense down better. And just like Dallas, if that is pretty much even on both ends then it'll come down to who has the ball last.
I hope our D can control them enough so that it doesn't have to be a track meet or come down to last minute heroics, but they could only do it for barely a half last week so we might have to endure some excitement to get this one.

Time to find some other hobbies for Sunday's rats; our season ends today.

Dom had been on borrowed time trying to keep this defense above water for weeks and he's done a great job finding a way. Today the ship sinks.

Atlanta averages a lot of pts a home an we don't have a drafted player at CB today.

Everything needs to be perfect for our win today; it's time to cherish what we had but reality kicks us in the nuts today.

Atlanta 44
GB 38

The solutions lies within our organization to push us over the top.

Melvanize Ted Thompson; hire Eliot Wolf !

I heard one pundit quoted as saying, whichever team has to settle for field goals will lose.
