Thursday games have been lopsided and embarrassing at times. Will the trend continue this week?

I only saw the end of their game today, amazing how some of these Dome teams can look so good at home, and so bad on the road.(Falcons)(Saints)

Sure is killing me in the NFL picks.
😆 😆

Packers 38 Vikings 10.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

I think when a rookie QB puts up those kind of numbers and Rodney Harrison equates him with Russell Wilson it's noteworthy...

Comparing a person who plays the most important position on the field and the impact he had in comparison to the crap they've trotted out there the last few years it's of note.

Fans should be allowed to beat the drums of victory directly after a win... even if it's an down right ugly win... hell I was rooting for the winless Lions to win one (not against the Packers) just to let their fans celebrate one that season (and still will argue that the refs stole a victory from the Lions while against the Vikings that 0-16 season). And stay the detailed stuff for the coming days.

The Packers former MVP putting up big numbers against a depleted Bears D vs. that isn't in the same strata.

not sure this one is going to have a happy ending with that defense we have, but we'll have some entertaining high scoring affairs to look forward to.

Also next week might be a very interesting game... looks like both defenses could be in possible trouble... we'll just have to wait and see how it turns out.

I've never had as low an opinion of Ponder as a lot of people seem to have. I think I'd rather see the rookie play against us. If we beat them with Ponder, they have a built in excuse. We better be ready to stop their running game. We probably will need to score big and hope for some turnovers again. I'm pretty sure Rodgers is up to that, assuming McCarthy sticks with "pass first" instead of going back to that "run to set up the pass" crap.

Bridgewater has told the press that he expects to play against the Packers thursday nite. I don't believe that he will start, but if Ponder does poorly, Bridgewater may play. His ankle injury may not be so serious, but he has shown he is that teams future and they may not want to risk playing him. Also with Peterson out, they may have quit a different game plan than the Packers have seen from the purple gang in many a year. Should be an interesting contest at Lambeau
Field thursday nite.

Anyone know what condition the field there is in ? 🤔

I hope this game isn't taken lightly - defense needs to show up, or the DLine will get trampled.

Thursday's game , IMO, will be the strangest game of the entire NFL season. Tipped Passes, fumbled fumbles, and more!
Some might call that sloppy, but it will just be strange. [duh] We'll be scratching our heads and talking about this game for a long time to come. Green Bay wins this one laughing. [roflmao]

Zero2Cool (13h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (13h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (13h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats beast on 2024 !

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats porky on winning 2023 pick'em! (oops sorry)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games
