Gunny, speaking of Pennslyvanians, why do Steelers fans insist the NFL began in 1973 and not recognize the suckage that was their organization prior to 1973?

I'm enjoying the Formo beatdown by the way boys. I really don't need to add anything.

As for pounding chest, I'm not. I just stated the facts. Packers fans fill up a damn Family Night game, Pre-Season games and stay to the end, regardless of the score. Vikings fan bail as soon as they feel the game is over, regardless of how much clock is left. Sorry, that's a piss poor fan base. But I suppose you're gonna say that's because there's more to do in Minnesota than Wisconsin, cuz all Wisconsin has is Applebee's.

To be clear, I'm not saying I'm better than you because I root for the Packers and you root for the Vikings. I'm sure there are a lot of great Vikings fans out there who stay to the end. It's just the Packers have visibly a lot more.

I'm with Zero here. All I know is from what I've watched on TV and I've been following the Packers since 1976. He's right.

It's like the Niners vs Raiders here. When the Niners had Joe & Steve, they'd pack the house and everyone and their Grandma proudly boasted their Niners jerseys. Nowadays, you'd think that there's only one Bay Area team - the Raiders. And the Niners are good this year, but so many fair weather fans have left that they're probably unaware that the Niners will make the Playoffs.

Now the Raiders on the other hand, they can be 3-13 or 13-3. Either way, you'll see Raider jerseys everywhere you look. The place will be packed and the fans will be loud.

Those are real fans. Niner fans? No. Of course, not denying the existence of real Niner fans. I'm just sayin' they're a minority.

Again, I have seen recent shots of empty seats (McCarthy's down year-recent). If you guys had the great fan base you claim, those seats wouldn't have been empty.

I don't get how Formo can debunk our fandom because he saw empty seats in Lamblow when he was a kid in the 70's and 80's, yet Zombie's analogy of an empty humptydump stadium is bull shit cause he saw it on TV and wasn't there.

Since when? Do they take video of the stadiums, section by section, to show the viewers how many fans there are? I've yet to see anything of the sort.



Pictures taken exclusively of sections during a game does not equal fan shots on TV. NFL game producers only give us video of fans, not entire sections with any sort of vacancy. There's a difference.

Well I've personally witnessed mass exodus of the loyal purple, and I don't think my eyes deceived me. Or are we just talking about attendance at the beginning of the game.

In general, but the beginning works as well. And if you suffered the defeats that the loyal purple priders have, you would have lead the charge in said exodus.

Well I didn't run and hide over the last 1.5 years in my personal life, so I don't quite understand how you can throw me under the bus along with the purple priders, but whatever. I do understand why Viking fans hate the Packers though and at the end of the day, I just kind of smirk about it.
