WEEK ONE----DO WE WIN OR LOSE ??

[Upnorth]

Very excited to see the start of love Era. I am worried about our slow starts but the bears are a bad team.
Man I hope I feel this good or better tonight.

GPG!

The classic Tex move when Patlerized: "Well, I didn't mean it like that. I meant it like this, so I was still right."

Say what you mean the first time, Tex.

Fields reminds me of the first few seasons of the Vikings - they had Tarkenton and virtually nothing else. It still was frustrating at times, though, to see the guy run all over hell and occasionally pull a TD pass out of his ass.

Back in the day, we beat Tarkenton the great majority of the time - because like the Bears now, the rest of his team was so bad, not to mention, Lombardi's Packers were so good, kinda like today's Packers too.

Tarkenton was 2-10 as a starter against the Packers from his rookie year in 1961 to Lombardi's last season as Packers coach in 1967.

After further review, tex was right. Fritz is charged with a timeout and has one challenge remaining.

Tarkenton ran for only one rushing TD in that time, his rookie season. He threw 12 TD passes and 21 INTs in that span.

AND I was wrong in my prediction for the game.

Fuck.

Apologies to you, Tex.

I know at the time it probably felt good that those Vikings teams collapsed in the big game, but I do feel bad for those old-timers who never got to achieve the pinnacle of greatness. Kinda like Ahman Green on those tweener Packers teams. Not quite.

Especially since a lot of the old-timers are fading away now.

I'm figuring the Packers win by 16. The kid misses his first extra point attempt. Defense all the way.

What the …. Damn, had you in the list of potentially deceased accounts.

[MadtownPacker]

New guy sets the tone for the future of the rivalry.

See that Tex, I was riding with you the whole way unlike that Fritz trying to wash your balls now after you straightened the stupid out of him.

Never apologize to Tex. Its like feeding a stray.

Bretsky, CaptainD, Fosco33, Vincenzo, Fritz, Tony Oday

This group owes the Packer faithful a little penance. I think at least in Tony Oday's case it's some sort of weird reverse-jinx gris-gris shit, but it does not matter. Each of you pony up, go out on your front porch, spank yourself, and say thirteen Hail Marys to St. Vincent.

In other news, the Bears still suck.

Thanks Fritz. Good job with your additional research about Tarkenton.

As for the Bears game, predictions are predictions. Some work, some don't.

I am completely confident in saying AGAIN though, this Packers team is loaded even if Love is just mediocre. And it's beginning to look like Love is pretty far above that level.

Mediocre might be a bit of a stretch. This team isn't the 2000 Ravens that won with Dilfert. But if Love is good (and indications are that he is), the Packers will be very good. There's enough talent that he doesn't need to be peak Rodgers or Favre.

The OL has been awful for 15 years and now with the same guys is great.

The rest of the team was ok for 15 years and Rodgers carried them and now they’re loaded even though it’s mostly the same guys playing.


You really are the most stubborn ass in the whole world, Tex

Holy shit. I didn’t know standing up and admitting you’re wrong was ball washing. I thought that’s what a real man does. But maybe it’s different in Mexico. Or maybe it’s different with the young punk generation.

[texaspackerbacker]

Not awful then, RG, just overrated. Not great now, just one damn good game against a possibly pathetic team.

They improved their run game, at least inside running last year. Hopefully, they will continue to look good this season both run and pass blocking - we'll see.

One thing I've observed over time, playing together with not much turnover tends to make O Lines better. We pretty much have that going for us.
