[Billy1x]

Hate to say it but Favre's release is 4x as fast as Rogers.

 

[jurrassic]

I laugh at the media members who keep talking for Packer fans. I am a Packer fan and will always respect what Favre did for the team and franchise. However, I will never like the guy again.

 

[scott72]

I feel bad for Jennings. For whatever reason, McCarthy and Rodgers are incapable of getting the ball to him.

Arod having more than 2 seconds to scan his reads would be nice!!

Before watching this game, I thought it was most likely Jennings who was the issue as Driver has been solid. After today, it is clear the problem is Rodgers. Either the pass is in the dirt, over his head or wobbly and defended. Oh, if the pass is complete...penalty.

Exactly how I feel..He's the enemy now..

IF this keeps up, soon the Packer fans will be cheering Favre and booing Rodgers

Never going to happen. That's what I'm talking about though. Bradshaw actually said this on the pre-game. Favre is not bigger than the team. He thought he was, and Thompson and McCarthy bascially told him he wasn't. That's half the reason he is so upset.

Bradshaw also said Favre was kicked out of Green Bay.

Yeah OK man.

It's only 14 points. Ted Thompson didn't do the wrong thing with Favre but sucked at drafting o linemen. He should be booed for that.

At halftime they need to get with short throws and throws to the TE's. If they don't Rodgers is going to get killed.

 

[scott72]

We're terrible. We're getting owned and I'm not afraid to admit it. Ted Thompson has not got this team where it needs to be and McCarthy looks lost..

If they don't make the playoffs this year they both need to go. 5 years with one playoff appearance isn't acceptable.

 

[bcr8f]

What a BS call. They always get the responder not the one who started these things.

He was taunting as well, should have been two flags.

Exactly. Offsetting penalties.

Lol. Favre is who he always was. It's not like he killed someone or beat a child.

Fan etiquette:If the player is traded away or cut, it obviously wasn't his fault he left. So you cheer him when he returns on a different team.If the player leaves of his own accord, or joins the enemy of his own free will, you boo him when he returns on a different team.Favre was let go, but he willingly joined the VIKINGS. So, you boo.

If a player jacks around a coaching staff, general manager and his legions of fans with a self-absorbed and deterimental annual ritual about retiring by pushing it deeper and deeper into the off-season until the situation becomes so problematic that the team finally draws the line and then reluctantly gives into a trade demand from this selfish primadonna of a player to go to another team in another conference where the trade agreement actually contains a clause specificially designed to protect the future interests of team's inside information by making a subsequent trade to any of their three key divisional rivals highly punitive and then that player capriously and maliciously engineers another disingenuous retirement in order to defeat the clause to fill some Machiavellian desire to exact some warped sense of revenge, then by all means the fans are entitled to relentless boo this jerk during ever play all day long.I don't see where the fans (who ultimately foot the bill) should be more thankful than the players (of which many make millions) in any situation. And this situation in particular showcases a first ballet hall of famer whose behavior is self serving at best and at worst highlights an ego so hungry for attention that no on field accomplishment or amount of adulation from the fans will ever satiate it. His accomplishments are legendary and his boyish charm is endearing but his act is wearing thin. I think he will find life ever more difficult when he is no longer the center of attention and the roar of the crowd finally fades away. Hopefully, Favre will seek out professional help to resolve whatever issues are troubling him before his behavior turns even more ruinous.

[Broadway Brett]

What a stupid comparison..

Sure. HOFer, Steelers 75th anniversary team, their best db ever. Goes to play for a division rival after a year hiatus on another team. No comparison at all.

I remember when Jason Taylor this offseason saying how he just couldn't see himself going to New England or New York. The players are very much aware of the feelings of the fans and the rivalry between teams. It isn't all about money and it's still a game that you have to have passion for to be good at. Favre, to me at least, seems very, very intelligent and plays off of the gee shucks southern boy schtick. I think he knew the ramifications and the feelings that would happen about the move. So why in the hell shouldn't he be boo'ed. He was Green Bay... he defined the town.

All the players know that the NFL is show business. The fans are gullible consumers of a brilliant advertising campaign by the NFL that suspends reality and provides the fan with the belief there is meaning in their life by assuming the identity of fan; especially in a place like Green Bay where the Packers are the biggest entertainer in town. Most entertainers, while enjoying the ego trip and adulation fans provide, think of most of their fans as losers.Favre is no different than a hot chick that watches and is amused at two males fighting for her attention and giving her affection to neither.Favre knows the only thing better than becoming a legend is becoming a legend in the eyes of the fanbase your greatest rival.

 

[fatness]

Marty Shottenheimer said on Sirrius radio that some QBs in the leage hold the ball because incompletions affect their QB rating. Sad but it is a fact. Rogers could be one of the ones he was talking about.

Sure, because so many QB's in the league talk to Marty regularly. What he said is just stupid.

He's the qb of Vikings. If Peterson retires and then comes back and plays for the Packers, after complaining about the franchise, and claiming their are Peterson fans and Vikings fans, you would boo him. He maneuvered for 2 years to play for the Vikings because he is vindictive. He has every right to play for the Vikings, and I have every right to not like the man because of it. I am more shocked by the sheer ignorance of Favre and others that are shocked the fans would boo him. Ever heard you root for the name on the front of the jersey not the back. It amazes me Favre wouldn't expect to get booed.

 

[Man in the yellow hat]

Man. I tell you. The worst thing is that it is the same exact game as when they played up in Minnesota. Penalites, sacks, and pressure. Favre has all day to throw. Nothing has changed.

Pretty clear Minnesota is the better team and the class of this division. I don't expect much in the second half from Green Bay. They're incapable of putting it together against good teams.

I picture this guy stepping away from his computer after that post to put on lipstick with Goodbye Horses cranking in the background.

 

[PennStater77]

Is Peterson hurt? He hasn't looked as explosive this year as he has..

 

[JohnnyCat]

Did that woman just show her credit card number to a national audience?

 

[Man in the yellow hat]

A THREE MAN RUSH?

I actually think the fans in GB aren't the gullible ones. NY and MN brought Favre in, in-part, to sell tickets and help get a new stadium built knowing full well Favre won't be there to play in it.

 

[Gadabout]

Holy Hell! GB is awful.

 

[Stinger Ray]

A THREE MAN RUSH?

Capers needs to wake up. Seriously.

 

[Young 8]

PUTRID D-FENCE

I kind of get the feeling McCarthy is one of those guys who thinks he is smarter than everyone else.

 

[Mr. Yuk]

Amazing grab! HARVIN!

 

[Young 8]

WTF WAS THAT

LMAO

 

[Donnybrook]

Harvin = ROY

 

[Man in the yellow hat]

You gotta be kidding me.

OK, I'm on board now. Fire McCarthy. Fire Thompson.

 

[steelwind]

DOINK!

 

[dickey moe]

Way to bring it, Packers.

Sheeeessshhh...

 

[FreeBaGeL]

So where are all those clueless folks out there that saw a highlight of Harvin rushing for a TD at Florida and extrapolated that to mean that he had no ball skills.

Like I said all offseason, the kid has better ball skills than anyone in last year's class outside of Crabtree. People just see lots of rushing yards and assumed he was some kind of gimmick.

 

[Broadway Brett]

Favre is just toying with the Packers now.

 

[Gadabout]

Looked like the Three Stooges out there.

Nyuk, nyuk.

 

[bcr8f]

Who's running this team? Time to take applications for a new HC and GM.

 

[scott72]

Disgusting..You know what? I haven't been on the Fire TT or MM bandwagon before, but I just leaped on..

 

[jurrassic]

McCarthy is going to take some serious heat after this game.

 

[MSULions]

that was classic farvre "chuck it up and hope my receiver bails me out" that works

Kid is the real deal. Very impressive, and it cannot be underestimated how much of a need he filled in Minnesota. Adding Harvin and Favre took them to a whole new level.

Me too.

 

[Stinger Ray]

Applaud the guy before and after, but you're nuts if you think they should cheer the guy in the middle of a freakin' divisional game.

Who said they should applaud him?J

Once again... you expect them to sit in silence? This is a huge game. I'm not seeing at all where you are coming from.

Of course not. They should make noise for their defense like any good fan would.Are you trying to say they boo every QB like this?J

idiotic argument. Are you trying to say every QB played in GB for 15 years and then retired four times before going to their primary divisional rival after jerking them around?

Using the word "idiotic" in reference to a post by Joe B. may not be the smartest thing to do.

Minnesota >>>>>>> Green Bay
