Let's talk about Rex, Baby. Let's talk about you and me.

[CanadianChris]

Dude, this is just sad now. What the fuck.

Payback for last year?

 

And another blocked punt taken back for six.

[devo]

And that's three interceptions for Anderson, this one in the end zone. Yeesh.

[Guest Vitamin X]

Dude, this is just sad now. What the fuck.

Payback for last year came earlier this year when they lost at home, which had been Green Bay's only other loss aside from the Dallas game.

 

I had a feeling they should've gone for it on 4th.

[snuffbox]

Dan Dierdorf ruined plenty of otherwise-good boxing matches as well.

THAT'S who beat them! I couldn't remember where the Pack's other loss came from, and I couldn't be bothered to go look it up.

[HarleyQuinn]

So...

 

How about Kyle Orton, huh? 8/14 for 101 yards with 1 TD (and a 2 point conversion!)

 

Question for ya, Czech. If you were GM, would you go for the "game managing" QB ala Kyle Orton given the idea of the offense is built around a smashmouth running game and strong defense (& return game) or would you rather take a QB like Rex Grossman, knowing that he can win ballgames but just as easily lose them?

 

I keep thinking of guys like Trent Dilfer, Jim McMahon, or Bart Starr in the old days and their success in terms of "game managers"

[snuffbox]

Jesus Christ.

[Guest My Pal, the Tortoise]

Why are the Packers playing like a dome team? This game is retarded and bad.

[Guest Vitamin X]

This game is going so badly it almost looks like the fix is in.

[snuffbox]

Don't fucking put Dilfer and McMahon in the same class as Bart Starr.

 

[Lt. Al Giardello]

Ryan Grant is averaging 10 yards per carry, yet Packers are getting their shit pushed in. Hilarous.

I go with a game manager behind a running game and strong defense. This is basically what the Steelers do, and they tend to play in the same conditions down the stretch (grass, wind, precipitation). We tried to be a passing team and we got burned. It's not worth the risk. I think our real GM will feel much the same way.

[Guest My Pal, the Tortoise]

THE LEAGUE wants the Bears to win.

[Guest RyechnaiaSobaka]

Cincinnati scores fourteen points in about forty seconds thanks to those interceptions. Christ almighty the Browns are playing awful today.

 

The only thing worse than watching the Browns' performance so far today is listening to Dan Dierdorf talking about it. Shut the fuck up, you! He's very rapidly approaching the first tier of Most Obnoxious Commentators in Football, which is a sacred place inhabited only by luminaries in shittery like Phil Simms and Bryant Gumbel.

What you mean, rapidly approaching? He's been there since his days with Monday Night Football.

 

There are some things in this world so horrible that we must force ourselves to forget, if we are to continue with our lives.

[Guest Vitamin X]

THE LEAGUE is hilarous.

[Slayer]

Snuffbox remembers growing up and watching Starr on the tele

[Guest RyechnaiaSobaka]

That's better, Brownies.

 

Also, I find this Packers game unfortunate because I tire very much of hearing idiots like Keyshawn Johnson claiming on national television that they would fall apart in the bad weather because they didn't have any running game. You, as a reasonable person, might conclude that Ryan Grant being awesome this game would disprove the claim that they have no running game. But, of course, we also know that reality will not affect what is said about any performance in sports.

Back in the good ol' days, Invader & I used to beat kids up for disrespecting Bart Starr.

The Len Dawson Gang was particularly strong in your neighborhood, but fortunately you guys were much better fighters, so Bart Starr's reputation remained largely intact.

 

[snuffbox]

Son of a bitch.

[Guest Vitamin X]

Well, congrats Dallas and Chicago. Horrible, horrible game. I can't recall the last time I've watched the Packers play a game so thoroughly terrible.

[CanadianChris]

And to think I was thinking Green Bay was the favourite in the NFC now with TO's ankle injury.

[NoCalMike]

Well at the moment, everything is going the way the Redskins would like....

 

Giants losing

Saints losing

 

and on top of that if Green Bay loses it could cause an already T.O.-less Cowboys team to rest it's starters against the Redskins next week in Washington.

 

I will be very upset if the Redskins don't somehow find a way to win tonight.

[Guest RyechnaiaSobaka]

And to think I was thinking Green Bay was the favourite in the NFC now with TO's ankle injury.

 

Owens played in the Super Bowl with a broken leg. If the Cowboys needed him he'd probably play with his bum ankle too.

 

Vikings for NFC champs! Bitches can't touch the next best running back in the history of football, and I hear they have a run defense.

[snuffbox]

Jesus Christ, CanadianChris, one game doesn't change everything in the NFL. Do you watch Espn all day or do you just like to drool on your keyboard?

[Guest Vitamin X]

And to think I was thinking Green Bay was the favourite in the NFC now with TO's ankle injury.

 

They still are. Having 3 blocked punts returned for scores and 2 int's setting up easy touchdowns in absolute shit weather didn't help matters much.

 

Again, as I said earlier, if the weather is going to affect their game this much, it's just as well they have to play at Texas Stadium rather than Lambeau. I don't even know if they'll bother playing their starters next week much.

 

This is the game that the 2007 Chicago Bears highlight DVD can focus on exclusively for a long while, btw.

[Guest RyechnaiaSobaka]

ESPN?

 

The question is: which team is more Now? I'd say with the Vikings being scary and the Cowboys losing the noted malcontent Terrell Owens to the Curse of Jessica Simpson, the most Now team in the NFC is still Green Bay. I mean, they have Brett Favre. Who is more Now than Brett Favre? In the NFC, I mean.

[Richard]

So how one-sided does a game have to get before the network switches to something else?

[Guest RyechnaiaSobaka]

Oh wonderful. Now I will have to just wait until the very end of the season recap show on the NFL Network when the Bears one comes on during the spring and summer. I refuse to watch Rex Grossman because he is bad at football.

[Guest RyechnaiaSobaka]

So how one-sided does a game have to get before the network switches to something else?

 

I think it depends if it's the local market. But the answer to your question is "very."

 

Are you getting the Jaguars-Raiders game or something?
