Game Thread W8 - Minnesota V Green Bay (1 Viewer)

[datonn]

Long, LONG way to go, folks. The Packers are a way better team than they've looked so far...and a play or two and they're right back in this thing. That said, Skol Vikings!

 

[Kleck]

No rush, GB D looking lost... I agree, but some props need to be given to Harvin on that play. Amazing awareness.

 

[Mr. Yuk]

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.

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

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.

Nothing wrong with booing him. But he has been playing this retire/might retire/unretire game for 6 years. If fans still liked him while he was doing all that for years, never liking him again because he ended up on the vikings is a little rediculous.

 

[Joe Bryant]

LOTS of time left. But ugly for GB so far.

Didn't realize how good Brett's season #'s were until I just checked. Assume these are the best ever for a 40 year old? (Moon maybe?)

 

[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.

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.

The fans in Green Bay continue to fuel Favre's ego by booing every time he has the ball. It feeds his mystique. Farve expects this from Green Bay fans and laughs at their lack of class while having his way with his former team.

Unfortunately this.

plenty of time to choke for the Vikes

 

[Red Forman]

Looked like the Three Stooges out there.Nyuk, nyuk.

Beat me to it.

yeah, fans have "lack of class"...............................

 

[Billy1x]

Okay, I'm on DVR but Favre just threw a TD into TRIPLE coverage. Wow! No way Rogers will ever have the cojonies to do that.

Rogers is a great Fantansy QB though.

 

[MOAT]

Interception coming up....

 

[Bull Dozier]

plenty of time to choke for the Vikes

If the Vikes have shown anything this season, it is that they have not yet learned how to close out a competent opponent. I don't feel good yet, that is for sure.

 

[Billy1x]

Okay, I never thought the Vikings would manhandle the Packers. In the 4th though the Viking defense should go belly up either because they relax or using a prevent defense. They just don't know how to finish the game.

 

[bcr8f]

Good news for Packer fans is now Childress will get a long contract extension.

its crazy how they just go on vacation

 

[Man in the yellow hat]

And a QB draw. Unreal.

Followed by a sack. Big shock.

 

[D'OHtis]

[dickey moe]

pathetic

 

[Billy1x]

They must be booing Favre on the sideline now!

 

[Young 8]

this is on Rodgers

 

[Balco]

This is a huge defensive series for the Packers. They need to bring pressure on Favre.

 

[Red Forman]

Boom goes the dynamite!!!

:BigHoss:

 

[harryhood]

Gotta love going against a coach who never wants to run inside the 10 yard line.....against a team with a hellacious pass rush.

 

[MOAT]

Good news for Packer fans is now Childress will get a long contract extension.

Better news would be a trade of TT to the Vikes.

 

[Red Forman]

If the Vikes score a TD here, does TJ come in?

 

[Balco]

Nice. Gets the crowd back in it.

Idiot Vikings D-Lineman thinks he is Gale Sayers.

 

[dickey moe]

What the hell with the squib kick there?

Packers lucked out if they recovered the fumble...

 

[parasaurolophus]

trick squibby

 

[Young 8]

plenty of time to choke for the Vikes

here we go

 

[Man in the yellow hat]

Had to have a play like that. This is must have td time.

 

[Red Forman]

Really Robison? Really??

 

[Balco]

Had to have a play like that. This is must have td time.

Not yet, but its getting close. Pack needs points. 7 would be great, though. Lets go!!!!

Booing the guy who brought the Packers back to relevance for a generation of fans = lack of class.

Booing the egomaniac drama queen who retired 3 or 4 times = class

 

[Balco]

Lets go Pack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huge TD. Need a stop on this series.

 

[Man in the yellow hat]

Nice play by Havner. They should've been throwing to the TE's from the start. Friggin' McCarthy.

 

[mcdons3]

They should kick it at that Robison guy for the rest of the game!

 

[bcr8f]

No kidding. That is one of their weaknesses.

Come on Vikings I know you can fold like a cheap chaise lounge.

 

[parasaurolophus]

i just keep picturing that guy from Waterboy

 

[Hov34]

Settle ####in' down Vikings.

 

[Balco]

Huge 3 and out.

 

[Bull Dozier]

Major momentum shift...

 

[Giant Wooden Badger]

Ah, yes. Don't run the ball or anything.

 

[Stinger Ray]

Will someone get a diagram to McCarthy of how a screen pass works.

 

[scott72]

Good thing Chilly is always gonna keep us in the game!! 3 straight passes?? Hilarious!!

 

[bcr8f]

Did they call 3 passes or is Favre ignoring Childress?

 

[Mr. Yuk]

Man, just shows you all it takes is one mistake to completely change a game. Packers have 10 points off 2 bonehead plays.
