Well, that and the NFL only has two conferences, with eight divisions. It made as much sense in my context as it did in anyone else's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
packwingfn 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2005 Walkers injury, Lack of Defense, Favre sucking, Fumbles and Culpepper OWNING us did it in for us. I know we weren't going far with our defense anyway so this really isnt a disappointment. Carrol needs to go, and they need to pick up a FA Cornerback because Al Harris isnt a #1 cornerback. Anyone know any good cornerbacks for sale? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't like their chances against the Eagles' defense, but I do like the lack of TO. If they can make Pinkston afraid to get hit and make a few stops, they could pull it out.

therealworldschampion 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2005 Vikings are going to have to stop Westbrook if they want to win, I think he got about 150 all-purpose yards against Minnesota back in Week 2.

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2005 Guys, don't hate on Collinsworth for calling it classless, him and Aikman didn't mention it. All the other uptight suits did though, from Joe Buck to the sideline reporters to the studio crew. Howie Long, Bradshaw and JB should be ashamed for distracting from the game by bitching about Randy AGAIN. I like how JJ is like "but to make it positive". You wanna bitch about him, you wanna bitch about his attitude, I don't many players who don't care about their team or the game yet would score two touchdowns in a big game situation while hobbling off the field. Yeah, he doesn't play hard at all. People can't seem to tell the difference between playing hard and playing without a personality. Sure, he was offensive, if you're already going into the game with the bias that he's Satan. I LIKE the Pack and wanted them to win, but I'm glad Randy stepped it up and showed that he plays harder then most give him credit for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2005 Oh geez, don't talk about Sherman's future being uncertain in Green Bay. I can't think of a replacement that would do any better. Given the "talent" that Sherman has surrounded Favre with, I think almost any replacement could come in and do a better job as the General Manager. As a coach, Sherman's just trying to make the best of a bad situation, though he seriously needs to reign in Brett Favre, who just seems to be chucking the ball up more and more every year. Take a look at these two stat lines this year: 30 TDs, 17 INTs, 4088 yards 27 TDs, 20 INTs, 4089 yards The top one is Brett Favre. The bottom one is Jake Plummer. There's not that great of a difference, especially when you consider that the Packers were inexplicably pass-happy this year (598 pass attempts to 441 carries).

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2005 13 and 7 is almost twice the TD-INT difference. I'd say that's big. This game was awful though. I did see the safety go after Caroll, if he didn't fuck up the Pack might have had a chance to win this game. The fact that he wore boxing gloves and even that didn't work, means that he has serious discipline problems in regards to penalities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted January 10, 2005 Well, 7 pages in and I can see enough taunting has been done, so I'll rear my head and give my congratulations to the Vikings. I like that the announcers pointed out how Moss has all that talent, but no class. Like, no shit? He's been that way since he was drafted, that isn't anything surprising. Moss is Thug Life, yo. Or so he thinks he is. The scary thing about Minnesota was how well their defense played today. They have one of the best offenses in the NFL- Despite losing Mike Flanagan at the beginning of the year- but had a hell of a bad luck streak with Walker, Green, and Clifton all going out with injuries. That doesn't take away the job the Minnesota front seven did. Wow. If they play that way against Philly next week, Eagles fans will be feeling the same way we did today. I've said it time and time again, the Vikings probably are the most talented team in the NFC, but have been held back consistently by their lack of commitment to defense and bad coaching. Both those things were fixed, and now if Eagles fans aren't worried, they better be. My mom asked me (of course this was during the heat of the game when I was all into it) what I was hoping would happen in the Philly-Minnesota game next week. My initial response was this-> However, I've calmed down quite a bit and decided that Minnesota is not a team I'd be ashamed in losing to (other than the typical rivalry things), and I've grown to hate Eagles fans more and more while spending time on this board, adding to my slight dislike of their team already. There's no excuse for going 4-5 at home and 6-2 on the road, dropping every single big game that we've had to play (The only two team Sherman's beat as Packers coach was a wussed-out 49er team that backed into the playoffs, and they STILL had a great chance of beating us and a lucky OT win against Seattle), and of course, the firing of Ed Donatell last year which led to Bob "Revenge of the Nerds" Slowik, which prompted Mike McKenzie to be pissed with the defensive shake-up and leave, leaving us with one of the worst defenses in the NFL. Sherman's just not a fiery guy, he seems like he plans well, gets his team ready, but doesn't have them motivated. They were undisciplined, turned the ball over too much, and allowed way too many big plays on defense, looking more like the 1-4 Packers rather than the NFC North (I guess we can call it the NFC Norse now?) Champs. Sherman the GM should have been over and done with a LONG time ago, I heard that Sherman has a year left on his contract, and it wouldn't surprise me to see his GM duties be stripped from him, as well as a changeup in coordinators, if not the whole coaching staff altogether. On the subject of the players, Favre had yet another terrible playoff performance, although most of the INT's he threw today weren't TOTALLY his fault, but it is maddening to see those things happen and make me wonder if Craig Nall would be an upgrade over Favre at this point. He may not have the same zing on the ball (I don't think anyone outside of Manning, Elway, Marino, and Aikman do, to be honest), but maybe he wouldn't be trying to make something out of nothing and end up throwing picks instead. Al Harris, I believe, is still a decent corner, but he severely lacks in speed, and since they began enforcing the illegal contact rule, he just may not be what we're looking for anymore. Harris did an okay job on Moss, but he got completely scorched (as would 95% of the DB's in the league) on the second Moss TD, and had no idea where the ball was on the first Moss TD. But Harris is just that- a DECENT corner, but by no means can anyone consider him to be the premier cornerback you need to defend against the higher-octane defenses. It worked when McKenzie was there, because McKenzie had the speed and intelligence to make it work, but not with Ahmad Carroll. Anyways, I've done enough ranting today. I'll take this loss as it is, and accept the fact that they've had a bad year and just have happened to catch a ton of lucky breaks (particularly against Washington and both Minnesota games), as KC will tell you, no matter how great your QB and the offense is, you still need a defense to take you into and beyond the playoffs. Here's to next year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm stealing a quote from the "blowing" thread by saying that all the guys on ESPN, CBS, FOX, etc. need to have their "lips surgically removed" from Brett Favre's nutsack, so of course everyone has a good laugh when they see it; nevermind the fact that the five yard penalty was followed by a missed field goal right before the half but I digress.

Next thing you know Farve will announce his retirement. The "rebuilding" stage is quickly approaching. Now I'm in a state of depression. Notre Dame's coach gets unjustifyable released, and they get smoked in their bowl game. I can't even name the current Cubs roster right now. And now this.
