As Nonstopdrivel mentioned, I don't get why people can NOT be upset about a slow start.

Doesn't matter who wins the battles (at least as long as everyone says safe)... it does matter who wins the war.

Packers win = Packers fans happy...

Packers fans upset about Packers win = questions... like why?

why?

No one is angry when the Packers are outplayed by an equal or superior opponent. It is the way the Packers unnecessarily shoot themselves in the foot that is so maddening.

Well, we beat the Saints and the Saints blew out da Bears. Hopefully we blow out da Bears.

Cutler got sacked 6 times today. I think heavy pressure on Cutler is the key to blowing out da Bears.

I am thinking, "Man, I hope we come back and win this game." And if they do, then we escape with a win. And if we don't, then hopefully we win next week. In one game we might underachieve in Atlanta and lose a close game. Thankfully, we might also blow them the hell out in the playoffs.

If the basic idea is that consistency breeds success, then I'm totally on board.

If they are playing inconsistently against a team they should beat, how can we be confident they will have what it takes to beat a more challenging opponent? Chances are, they will continue to play inconsistently and will continue shooting themselves in the foot with silly mistakes.

Last year Packers played UP to their opponent and DOWN to their opponent. That's the specter.

dfosterf (2m) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

Zero2Cool (3m) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!

dfosterf (4m) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

dfosterf (7m) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in

packerfanoutwest (8m) : beer and brats woke? say whom?

beast (13m) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...

beast (14m) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

beast (15m) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based

beast (15m) : Well isn't the investing person supposed to invest the money?

dfosterf (48m) : I swear if I were to discover that one of them has invented a virtue signalling transmitter I will not be surprised, lol

dfosterf (52m) : 39 companies so far that I bet no one has ever heard of.

dfosterf (54m) : -Not saying woke, but should- borderline philanthopist venture capital excercise

dfosterf (56m) : Well for one, they are pouring resources into Title Town Tech. Investing beer, brat, hot dog, ticket money into what is pretty much...

beast (7h) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: “A great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.”

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : *years

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @mattschneidman Mark Murphy says he anticipates “many Packers games” being played in Germany, Ireland and/or the U.K. over the next 5-10 yea

dfosterf (25-Jul) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Malik Willis might be someone Jets come after
