I have to say that I was pretty disappointed in the Packers for staying in the locker room during the national anthem. Hopefully in coming weeks they will come out and at least lock arms.

Either way, I’m a true Packers fan and I’ll never boycott them.

Also, I can’t come into the chat much if any this year because I got married and bought a new house over the summer. My new house has no internet availability that I can find, and my cell signal sucks inside.

Over the last several months I was quick to state how no football would be fine with me. That if it means things return to normal faster without a year of football, so be it. Then the social justice kneeling not kneeling two anthems stuff was brought back up and that (along with not thinking football would happen) made me just wanna tune out and find other things to do. I don't think the announcers were obnoxious about the pregame stuff. At least, I didn't much notice it. I deliberately didn't start watching the game until after kickoff. And during the Packers game, I started to feel "alive" for lack of a better word. I felt like a little spark was triggered. Maybe it was football? Maybe it was Packers winning? Maybe it was Vikings losing? Maybe it was chatting with you folks in the chat? I don't know. I just know ... I liked how it felt and looking forward to another Sunday!

I have more sympathy for Philandro. Guys like Oscar Grant.

Glad to have football tho.

I dont care about people getting mad over a stupid song that is protested which is a human right. Nor i dont care about the arguments about the issue. Keep all that political talk from both sides off my TV. Im just glad football is back and that the Packers offense is running on all cylinders. Defense needs to get better though.

Reflecting back a little bit. I can't say I expected the NFL to have a full season of games. I was expecting maybe a Week 18, or something. They got every single regular season game played and of course playoffs. I think we might have seen the last of the preseason games. And I think I'm OK with that. I would like to see one or two games just so we can see rookies and fringe players get a chance. If they won't do that, then the NFL needs to establish a "minor" league so these kids and fringe players have a chance.

Anyhow, it was a fun season with you all. Even if I poked you a bit here and there for some discussion. I suspect this place will become even more scarce until around Free Agency and Draft. So, until then ...

I've read numerous places cite the highest scoring this and that as reason the preseason games do not matter. Also, many players say preseason is nothing but vanilla play calling and some hitting. The NFL and/or NFLPA is also on this 17th game kick. NFL fans are probably going to be forced to deal with a stupid idiotic two bye week season throughout 17 games. The players do not want the second bye week as they say it prolongs the season unnecessarily. The players say you won't recover much in that six extra days off. They'd rather the season start six days later, or end six days sooner.

The comments about high scoring completely negate the understanding that the defense is always what comes around last. Offenses always dictate what is going on. Defenses always have to react. Eliminating the preseason benefits the offenses. And the NFL thinks fans want to see lots of scoring. And if fans do, screw the game and let them peasant narrow minded dipshits ruin the sport. Eventually something else will come along and snag our attention. I'm not against scoring. I'm against rules and schematics and structural changes that favor one side significantly over the other.


DISCLAIMER: When I say "the players", let's not get it twisted. I'm talking about a half dozen or so who I've heard speak about it, so it's not like some overwhelming majority. I'm not trying to mislead people. It's just each player I've heard speak about it has denounced it's value.

The owners want the extra game so the NFLPA want them to "pay" for it by giving up something else. Even if it benefits them they want something in exchange. The extra game may still be a year or two away.
