Hmm Stat Padford vs Romo in the playoffs? Sounds interesting to watch.

He was abysmal... 21 of 43 for 241 yards 2 TD's and 1 INT... they did win 34-30.

He's faced them one other time...at Detroit. Had to be his best day as a pro... 488 yards passing and a Lions win 31-30. I take that back...that meaningless game at Lambeau that gave him 520 yards was his best. He only chucked 1 TD in that Dallas game vs. 2 picks.

So, Stafford is 2-0 vs. Dallas with both games seeing both teams in the 30's...the two games were decided by a combined 5 points. Sounds like we should expect more of the same if that game comes to be.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Now I'm going to have to go back and read your posts...naw...

As stated in my previous post, we have to beat Detroit first.

We're always contenders, unfortunately we suffer from the "soft" label. Especially in the playoffs, referees forget they have flags in their pockets. Our receivers will be mugged on the line of scrimmage and all the way down the field. The question is, will they get the separation necessary to make the big plays we need to win.

The other question is will our defense keep giving up those easy drives they are notorious for. Green Bay has a quality football team when they play up to their capabilities. It really is completely in their hands.

We need a St. Louis Rams Christmas Miracle. Go for the sweep St. Louie!

No....not what I'm saying at all. There is one contender. I think people who know football would tell you there's Seattle...and then there's everybody else.

Pretty much. However anyone in the playoffs in technically a contender. We'll see what happens...

Everyone reads what beats us. My Dad is not yet interconnected, nor is one of my little brothers. Other than that, I know of no one that is not connected and not figuring this shit out.

Rush the passer, Dom. Rush the fucking passer, Dom, do not deviate, no matter the score, situation, etc. If you don't, your defense fails. You are a LAUGHINGSTOCK defense because you don't listen.

Habla?

RUSH THE PASSER P R I O R I T Y.

Do that.

How hard can this be? I'm just asking.

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol
