**Monday Night Football - Saints at Packers**(-14, 43) 8:15 (1 Viewer)

[KingPrawn]

The Saints are not a professional football team.

Just about their whole offense is on IR.

And the Packers are a good football team. Really good

 

[Snoopy]

Packers are playing The Taints

Ain'ts

 

[Nevermore]

Packers D looking good.

Why is this the what each poster needs thread?

Because we are all desperately trying to claw our way into the championship and a little bit tipsy for Christmas Eve with our fingers and toes crossed.

And we just want people to know because it helps us cope.

I think there's a thread for that though, no?

Does it make a difference? Does a random internet poster seriously care about how many points your X or Y needs?

I guess I can see it in the early days of the world wide webs and magical football but now, still? And the demographics now are middle-aged or more, yes?

Even funnier will be when someone takes offense.

I don’t think anyone cares.

But there’s some regulars in these game threads at times and I personally enjoy cheering for some fellow Shark Pool forum members that have skin in the game.

I’m not offended, and see how dumb it is to post what I need to happen to internet strangers. But I plan on chiming into this thread tonight and will cheer for others who need it.

Well put, and thanks for the thoughtful reply. That's the first I've heard of someone actually enjoying rooting for stranger's fantasy football players.

BTW, I'm not the one that was (or is) offended, to be sure.

WDIS has its own zone. I did not know the game thread is a kind of what do you need and/or the bragging, venting, crowing, grieving thread, all in one.

I don’t think it’s officially supposed to be any of those things. These game threads are pretty organic talking about the game itself and other stuff.

I just think of it like pulling up to a barstool and grabbing a beer to watch the game. The stranger next to you is obviously into fantasy football as well.

He tells you he’s rooting for Josh Jacobs. You tell him your cheering for packers defense to do terrible.

You both drink and jibber jabber at the bar for the game and cheer when something good happens.

I put on my robe and wizard hat

 

[JoeJoe88]

lol @ that roughing call. Did they mistake Rattler for Mahomes?

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

And to think I almost started this Miller kid. I thought I was gonna miss out on some crazy Billy Volek game.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Packers D looking good.

This Packers team could win it all. No hyperbole. They’re strong in the trenches. Have an elite RB and enough firepower at QB / WR to make some noise. Defense is stout as well.

They’re built for winter football.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Two drops, one throw

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I put on my robe and wizard hat

Now that’s a blast from the past.

 

[Donnybrook]

New Orleans looks content to let the time expire.

 

[KingPrawn]

Not sure why the coaches are talking to Cox. That was a horrible roughing the passer call. During film review they'll be apologizing to Cox

 

[BobbyLayne]

New Orleans looks content to let the time expire.

It's that time of year when players on 5-9 teams are shipping cars & booking tee times

oh, look, a first down, we could try a FG so it looks like we're tying here

never mind

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

What is even happening here lol

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Rattler looks to be not very good at playing football.

 

[Snoopy]

Rattler looks to be not very good at playing football.

Looks rattled

 

[JoeJoe88]

Is it just me or has the last minute of this half lasted 17 minutes?

 

[KingPrawn]

Packers D looking good.

They’re built for winter football.

They'll need Jaire Alexander back if they want to go anywhere in the playoffs. But yeah . . .

 

[Nevermore]

The Rattler looks rattled.

 

[VikingFrog]

A sack in field goal range when all you need is to break a shutout never feels good.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Nothing quite like a fail Mary.

I guess I can see it in the early days of the world wide webs and magical football but now, still? And the demographics now are middle-aged or more, yes?

That's a good way to put it, thanks. So the regulars here kind of make it their own thread with their rules. Okay.

Back to your bar example. I would venture to say that I've seen the more vocal supporters at bars actually getting rooted against by other strangers. Yeah, most definitely.

In that environment, it can get annoying, no doubt. Interesting, some parallels could be drawn.

 

[Proteus]

NgL I was having an "I quit fantasy" week until the GB def showed up and t-bagged bitchez

 

[BobbyLayne]

that's a bad football team

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

A sack in field goal range when all you need is to break a shutout never feels good.

Depends on whether you’re looking at the scoreboard or the draft order. Perspective is everything.

You could just ignore those specific posts, or not read this thread. Both of those are options too.

 

[KingPrawn]

The NFC playoffs are gonna be brutal. Detroit, Philadelphia, Minnesota, Green Bay and the Rams are coming on.

 

[themeistersinger]

A sack in field goal range when all you need is to break a shutout never feels good.

Their draft position would be the same if they lost 21-3 or 91-3 or 21-20. A loss is a loss.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Saints are on pace for 300 yards of total offense if the game goes into triple overtime

 

[Donnybrook]

NO Coach's voice has RF Kennedy quality to it. Can't stand listening to him.

Sort of like how you might ignore certain people at the bar, or at a party. I basically ignore almost every post in the Shark Pool except the reverse jinx posts from ChiefD

 

[Harry Frogfish]

It's the Saints but Green Bay's drafts are paying dividends. Very strong squad but still don't think they are on that top tier because I'm not convinced on Love yet.

Everything Pack fans could've hoped for, as far as the Rodgers saga goes. That was quicker than expected. A very Merry Christmas to all those diehards.

That’s a fair point.

 

[Dez]

I am sweating bullets here I need NO to throw a pick 6 or Love to get a TD pass to anyone but Jacobs and then they pull started in the 4th.

Jacobs already at 19.1 with all those damn catches he has 4 for 38 already that is murdering me his season high is 5 he did that only once.

If Jacobs gets 34.2 it is all over unless Johnson does not get a catch.

NO is so freaking inept I have abandoned all hope they hold GB DF under 12 pts so it might all come down to Juwan Johnson not catching a pass I am up .12 on that guy.

This game is stupid. New Orleans brought their JV team with a high school coach.

 

[IHEARTFF]

What did we just watch

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

This game is stupid. New Orleans brought their JV team with a high school coach.

I cannot for the life of me imagine why this game wasn’t flexed.

 

[zeke2222]

I need Green Bay defense to not score 15 points. Not sure if the weather prediction hurts or helps that. But it is what it is.

Projections say I should win, but I’m real worried with rattler and crew. Just need the Saints to somehow score a could of tds and not enter sack/turnover mode.

Not feeling great.

I need 16 from GB def

Looks like one of us will be happy tonight.

I wish you the best of luck.

Fantasy is a fickle *****… and I never seem to come out on top of these late Monday game agendas where things need to go my way.

Which one of us will it be?

 

[TheAristocrat]

What did we just watch

If I counted it correctly, five different formations the Saints could embarrass themselves in

 

[Donnybrook]

I need to apologize to the Chicago Bears. At least, they showed some fight. GB must be averaging 8 yards a carry.

 

[IHEARTFF]

Maybe don’t keep feeding 8 in this debacle of a game huh

 

[JoeJoe88]

Hope Jacobs didn’t just get dinged

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Hope Jacobs didn’t just get dinged

Looked ok. Didn’t go to the blue tent.

 

[TheAristocrat]

55 yard FG would have been good from 60

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Someone needed that FG. @Dez?

 

[TheAristocrat]

Someone needed that FG. @Dez?

Not sure if @ProstheticRGK gets extra points for distance

I have no idea how the Saints are going to score. My best bet is a defensive td for the Saints where I get an extra point to break the shutout… but the coaches decide to go for two and miss it and the shutout remains.

That’s just the story of my life.

 

[KingPrawn]

Hope Jacobs didn’t just get dinged

From Twitter he was having his left wrist looked at on the sidelines. But was ready to back in to the game

 

[Donnybrook]

What is on your Bingo card?

Me: Rattler pick 6 within the next 10 plays.
