Would you consider the Packers to be the Dark horse to win the NFC?

[George Cumby]

For marketing purposes, I think Cowpukes and Patriots would be the NFL's wet dream.

I say again, the Packers are peaking at the right time. Who would have picked the Packers the Super Bowl year coming from the 6th seed? Of course, it could be like the following year too - top seed and early out. I don't know what we will do with the Ravens if we get there, but at this stage of the season, I feel like we can handle everybody else, even the Niners, even if we have to play them at their place.

Madtown, me and x's and o's? I coached a lot of peewee football way back in the split backfield days, but I don't consider myself much of an expert there. On the other hand, I won't take a backseat to anybody on what you call observational skills and ability NOT to adjust according to the way the wind is blowing, etc. I'd say change sucks, except you might accuse me of the p word hahahahaha.

I will say this: its clear the pass blocking suffers on the road. Home field would help the pass game immensely.

definitely. right there with phi/dal/min.

peaking? they're no better now than they were game one. the O's been on a meh plateau all year. the D's been pretty good as a whole. gives up yards but not a lot of points. their record is very deceiving.

[Zool]

There are a lot here who know tons about Xs and Os (you and Tex) but the ones with observational skills and the ability to adjust their thinking are very few (examples Nutz, Patler, and KYPack). Not sure what I bring to the party, consultant stuff maybe.

I like all opinions and don’t care about your post count or how long you have been here. You won’t catch me repeating the same tired “you must be fun at parties” diss either. I try to put a little more effort into my insults.

Few weeks back I got shit for saying Rodgers is messing up by trying to throw deep so much and not taking what the defense gives him. But fast forward a few weeks and all the “experts” are talking about how was in control the field spreading the ball around.

Now I’m hurt. Me and Tex?

[texaspackerbacker]

yeah, me too.

[texaspackerbacker]

peaking? they're no better now than they were game one. the O's been on a meh plateau all year. the D's been pretty good as a whole. gives up yards but not a lot of points. their record is very deceiving.

Yeah, it should be 14-2. No way they shoulda lost that Eagles game.

[MadtownPacker]

yeah, me too.

Consider yourselves trolled mfers!!!

My apologies, we must be hardest on those we love the most. I used the most hurtful thing I could think of for you both.

Here is a song dedicated to just the two of you:

[bobblehead]

forgive me thats a bunch of two sided anti intellectual drivel.
This has nothing to do with getting lucky makinf a pick. It has to do with- if thats what the nfl wants, thats what will happen.
it takes 3 years of insight abd knowledge on my part. discovering and understanding whats happening. I have insight to know its fake. You dont.
no the odds arent on my side. I have 10 chances to be wrong because I say only Niners vs Pats.
but again, my picks arent what proves or disproves its staged. Its staged regardless.
its amazing that people have seen the Saints games in the playoffs the last two years. The Pats ,Atl SB. the recent Niners- Saints game this season.. yet still cant figure out its just a show wwe.

You really should move to vegas since you got it all figured out. You could make a killing betting sports.

[scharpcheddar]

His trolling just served to derail the topic.....suggesting that the NFL playoff winner is predetermined is “museum quality stupidity.”

you cant prove me wrong. Insulting me isnt a counter argument. Theres no trolling involved. Just an adult with a view you are incredibly in denial about.
you should be asking yourself- why do you have faith in a billion dollar industry being honest? That, my friend, is the ultimate in museum quality stupidity.
calling me a troll is childish,ignorant, asinine. What I am is a intelligent skeptic. I'm your best friend being honest with you. But you cant afford to have your world view destroyed.
its a billion dollar entertainment business. Not a honest competition by any stretch. People dont become billionaires through hard honest work. They do it by making sure everything goes exactly as planned. Screwing anyone and everyone over in the process.

[scharpcheddar]

You really should move to vegas since you got it all figured out. You could make a killing betting sports.

Its like any movie.
Knowing its staged doesnt mean knowing the outcome every time.
why dont you learn some real football history and realize who Halas, Bidwell and Rooney were associated with when they started.

[pbmax]

Yeah, it should be 14-2. No way they shoulda lost that Eagles game.

Exactly.

Personally, I'd be insulted as a Packer if Gary compared me to Dallas and Minnesota. Pretty sure that will be true after the (possible) Eagles rematch.

And apologies in advance tex, I am rooting hard for the Boys to fall out of the playoffs. If I was a bit more calculating, I'd root for them to squeak in.

[pbmax]

Hmmm. Posting at 1:27 AM CST time, under an hour after bobble.

Bobble, the poster is in the house!

[scharpcheddar]

Of course you like him. You love it when someone here knows less about football than you.

until you realize you are watching entertainment and not competition. I know much more about pro football than you.
Sorry, but it's the truth
