As we all know, the Pack is undefeated. 13-0 right now. How long do you guys think it will last? The way it is looking now, next season is the best chance for someone to put a digit in the second column. I know, they could lose any game, but they are just so damned tough right now. And getting better all the time. Rodgers numbers get better every year. They set a franchise record already. Second string qb looks like he could win one if Rodgers went down, so again, when are they gonna lose?
They stand an excellent chance of winning the super bowl this year wether they win out or not. The biggest benefit to them winning is out would be to shut up mercury morris. That annoying MFer needs to go the fuck away and shut the fuck up. I dont care about your undefeated team, and you guys wouldnt stand a chance in your prime against a good NFL team of today.
They'll go 18 - 1 :lol:
You bring up an excellent point. They wouldn't be doing near as good if everyone else in the NFl wasn't sucking as badly as they do. Def makes it easier.Quote:

That is why I was pulling for the Pats to go 19-0 and few years ago.
Until this afternoon when KC dumps em...
Is green bay sitting their starters or something?
Just that kind of season....

You guys just don't understand big money gambling do you.
Some "big people" made a shit ton of cash on that "game", as did a few athletes.
Yeah, I know, huh?Quote:

Please oh please could you explain to me what all those "odds" numbers mean. I aint never done gambled in my whole entire life
I believe what he was implying is that GB players bet against themselves and threw the game so they could make a lot of money........at least I think that's what he was implying. Sounds much better than KC stepped up for the game for the new coach and came to play. KC is another of those teams that you have to watch out for....not as bad as their record indicates. The loss is actually good for GB....takes some of the undefeated pressure and hype off of them....now they can just focus on getting healthy and on track for the playoffs.Quote:

It amazes me how many people think that professional sports are clean.
Every time you have lots n lots of money being made, you get the strong potential for "outcomes of sports" to be less than obvious.
Some say never, I say open your eyes.
It happens in sports, in the stock market, everywhere there is potential for a big financial kill.
dammit.....wish I would've thought of this before going with the "trap game" excuse in the rams/saints game. Yours sounds much cooler......Quote:

Yea, cause they all need money. We pay our players in cracker jack
What I can't believe is that despite the times we live in, and how human nature should be blatantly obvious by now (that is, if you are over the age of 20, at least), I still see people virtually crying "HERECY!!" when someone mentions the possibility that an NFL game's outcome may have not been totally left to chance.
In other words, if you really think that the NFL is clean, and game outcomes are not at least somewhat influenced in some less-than-legit ways, then you really need to venture out from under your rock and take a stroll in what we call REALITY. There is far too much money to be made in the NFL for that avenue to remain untapped for so long. I promise you it happens. I certainly won't venture to say that game outcomes are flat-out predetermined...that would be too risky. But there are many other ways to get it done, and as I alluded to before, with that amount of money at stake, alot of creativity tends to materialize.
Despite the blatant obviousness of my claims, I will inevitably trigger some "DON'T TALK SO CRAZY!!" type responses...I always do.
don't talk so crazy.......
Ya don't need em all.Quote:

Specially in perceived one sided games.
Eitherway the Packers played like they normally do except for the the passing. Aaron wasn't throwing well at the beginning which happens every couple of games, then after that the receivers weren't catching well and there route timing was being thrown off. The Packers Defense and special teams played like they normally do except we did not get any turnovers. They allowed well over 300 yards like they normally do but make stops in the red zone like they normally do. The only thing the Packers did differently this game was the passing game just wasn't there.
Some of the Refs calls were a little strange. Those two offensive pass intereference calls on Nelson when he barley touched the other guys finger tips. The fumble that KC had at the one that should have been a touchback but they said the payer was out of bounce. And the onside kick the Packers did that clearly went 10 yards but the refs called illegal touching because the ball did not go 10 yards. Doesn't matter now, the game is done time to move on and hopefully win atleast 1 more game this regular season.
I wouldn't say that I feel like the Packers game was questionable...this is exactly what generally happens this late in an undefeated season. There is a reason why only one team in the history of football has ever managed an undefeated season...it's damn hard...and it doesn't get any easier as the years go by and the game continues to elevate. Whenever this happens, it's always a huge underdog too...which to me is a clear result of the favorite having too much confidence.
Packers fans should be thankful for this...this game may be the push that gets Green Bay in the super bowl again. Before this I had my money solidly against them making it. Now i'm not as confident. I'll have to see how they approach the next few games before I make a call again. I'm still thinking the 49er's can take them in the Conference round.
The niners and the pack will be a shootout game for sure. I think that has been in the back of everybody's mind for a while now. It has in mine at least. Packers are gonna have home field advantage. I have been getting a lot of crap lately form various people about the Pack. You are sore, you are frustrated, blah, blah. My response? Oh, I am soo dissapointed in a 13-1 record. Really? This is payback for being loyal during all the Favre years.
the 9ers will get their ass' handed to them.....no way they can score enough points on the packers. Their D is a run stopping machine....unfortunately the Packers throw the ball....a lot. If that game happens, and it won't, :D my prediction is Pack 38 niners 20Quote:

GB has been in some very close games vs. some very not great teams. Can't do that in the playoffs. I'm thinking GB is in for one huge upset in the divisional round. Though this loss, and the fact that they should re-think their end-of-season strategy as a result, may save them from that fate.Quote:
