Well?
I could just see Chilly in his best Ken Jeong vioce "You want to fire me? Mother####er?"
correlation != causationWell?
Most thought chilly was going to get canned after losing to Arizona - except Favre pulled magic out of somewhere, had the game of his career and won them the game late. Would we then be giving props to the "superior" Cardinals?!?Dude, I get homerism, but step back and put down the funny cigs.
And Jeff Reed will be the bathroom attendant. No paper towel dispensers, of course.
They were both dead but the posters point is semi valid in that in both cases it was the straw the broke the camels back. They weren't just losses, the Cowboys and Vikings got pounded.So far it's worked out well for the Cowboys, hopefully Vikings fans it'll help you guys out too because your defense gave up in the middle of that game.

In many cases this is true. Not sure in this case however. The humiliation the Packers handed each team certainly contributed to the firings.correlation != causationWell?
Contributed to in the sense of "every loss contributed", not in the sense of "a notable factor". Correlation = both coaches teams played the Packers prior to their firingCausation = the coaches had talented teams and should have gotten more wins than they didIn many cases this is true. Not sure in this case however. The humiliation the Packers handed each team certainly contributed to the firings.correlation != causationWell?
:X 
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Ummm... No. I'm absolutely accurate in my usage.You may want to use a dictionary before correcting a person's usage of a word.
fixed
I interpret it to mean this: If you are such a miserable coach that you can't even beat the Packers, then you gotta go!In many cases this is true. Not sure in this case however. The humiliation the Packers handed each team certainly contributed to the firings.correlation != causationWell?
That's the spirit! FREEEEEEDOM!
They are also pretty ace in the category of smoking playoff bound teams (Eagles, Jets) too!!!Pretty sure all this was all ready covered in the Chilly fired thread. Including, who else might get axed after a loss to the packers and how its actually a somewhat irrelevant coincidence rather than a meaningful trend. But ya! those packers sure are good at beating horrendous football teams!:X
That happens everywhere in the league.The Bears getting Miami when Thigpen takes over and their Oline is in shambles.It wouldn't have mattered when the Packers played the Vikings this year.GB is the better team this year.How would the Packers have had a difficult time in week 1?The Vikings were busy putting up all of 9 points on the Saints.visgc said:
I am going to have to respectfully disagree with you....they have pounded more than just the Vikings and the Cowboys. And speaking of them...those were not just poundings...they were total eviscerations!!! Both teams were roundly humiliated in every possible way. For the season, the Packers are leading the league in point differential by a HUGE margin. Like any sport, point differential over the course of a season is a real true indicator of dominance over time.Examples:NFLvisgc said:
hilly: +58Giants: +33Patriots: +47Jets: +58Bills:-63Jags: -60Chargers: +63Packers: +108 Bears:+45Sorry friends, but they are smoking the rest of the league by a large margin; Pittsburgh is the closest at +70 their three losses all came during a time period where they were losing a crapton of players...11 lost to IR alone, including a few studs, with mainstays like Pickett, CMIII, and Driver all missing games. All this while they are playing one the hardest slates the league has to offer as their off-divison foes are AFC and NFC east!!!This week when they beat Atlanta on the road, they will start to get the attention they deserve...Have you ever considered the theory that less is more? Have you considered that the information or the argument you wish to have out there will get there without your assist? Surely by now you have to recognize that your participation in a thread derails the thread making it about you and your style rather than the intended topic. How about giving it a rest, just once in a while? Even when I agree with you I recoil in horror that you are about to make things about you and will ruin the substance of yet another thread. You do realize, don't you, that you are "that guy". You are exhibit #1 in people arguing that Packer fans should be subject to denigration. As A Packer fan I am embarassed both for you and by you.
My participation in a thread doesn't make it about me. Posts like yours that discuss me and not the topic do.If you or others can't remain on topic and just want to go after me...fine. But quit blaming me for your actions and words.I made my case in this thread about what was said...I did not make it about me at all. You are attempting to do that.Care to discuss the topic? Or do you just want to complain that I posted in a Packer topic?

The Packers have 11 player on IR now. They would have pounded the Vikes even worse opening weekend.You can do what you will with my posting. Though it was nominally directed towards you it really was for consumption by others. It was simply a statement distancing myself from you. Sometimes distance is necessary to keep a smell from getting on oneself. I'm done, the last word, as always, is yours.
Maybe they'll get a rematch later this year. Think its the same outcome?They are also pretty ace in the category of smoking playoff bound teams (Eagles, Jets) too!!!Pretty sure all this was all ready covered in the Chilly fired thread.

And yet another statement not on the topic but about me.Perhaps you should keep that to PMs or just put me on ignore.Either way, its posts like yours that muck up these threads, not me posting my opinion on a topic.
Could be. Both teams playing a bit different than they were in that game.Maybe they'll get a rematch later this year.

Oh I think Green Bay is better than Philly. Far better rounded.Maybe they'll get a rematch later this year.

Yeah, as a matter of fact I do think the outcome will be the same. Here are some facts for you:Two shutdown cornersMaybe they'll get a rematch later this year.

Hope we see it, it would be a great playoff game. Great offense vs. a great defense, hopefully in Philly ;-)Yeah, as a matter of fact I do think the outcome will be the same.

A ballhawking freesaftey
An all-world pass rushing lb
Super deep D line with Raji, Jenkins, and Pickett providing pressure
great coaching
The offense is pretty good too.

Its nice the Eagles and Jets are the two playoff teams mentioned...they are the only 2 teams with a winning record the Pack have beaten. The Eagles are the only team to have beaten 4 teams with a current winning record.
Good posting?Calling that the game of Favre's career?True, the whole Packers did it thing is a bit over the top...but its meant to be people.Stop being so serious.Most thought chilly was going to get canned after losing to Arizona - except Favre pulled magic out of somewhere, had the game of his career and won them the game late. Would we then be giving props to the "superior" Cardinals?!?Dude, I get homerism, but step back and put down the funny cigs.
