    That's a pretty sure bet. Hope you're correct, regardless of Packer fan' post they've had horseshoes up their asses with Farve and Rodgers. I'm not saying Farve and Rodgers were shots in the dark but, as great as they turned out? No. Which is kinda what I said. They deliberately traded a #1 to get an unknown in Favre. And deliberately took a QB in the 1st round even though they had a HoFer currently on roster. Of course it worked out better than expected. But I'd hardly call it a horseshoe.

    Not certain what you mean with "pulling ...out of thin air". The Packers traded the 19th overall pick for a QB taken the year before in the second round. And that guy threw 4 passes, completing two of them to the other team (1 returned for a TD), so it's not like he "showed something" on his brief stint in ATL. GM Ron Wolf clearly thought highly enough of him to go after him with a 1st Rounder, thinking he might be the cornerstone QB for rookie HC Mike Holmgren. Regarding AR, there was back and forth for months leading up to the draft as to which QB would be taken first overall - Alex Smith or AR. Smith it was, and AR happened to fall all the way to GB. I give Ted Thompson a ton of credit for using a 1st Round pick on a QB when they still had an elite QB on the roster. He clearly felt AR was the BPA. Had the Niners taken AR and Smith fell, would TT taken Smith? We'll never know. But the AR pick was intentional. I don't think anyone would've wagered both would be first ballot HoFs, but I think both were expected to be highly successful QBs for the Packers. I say similar props to the Packers if Jordan Love turns out to be an elite QB. They traded up specifically to get him.

    Jugs machine is probably most accurate, no?

    So is he out for the season? That sounds serious enough not to mess around with by trying to soldier through until fully healed. They say only out minimum of 3 weeks. We’ll see.

    Incomplete pass stops clock. Injury can stop play clock without run off.

    Brad Hand on waivers too.

    Counterpoint: the Steelers are the best team in football. Not certain which of these quotes to agree or disagree with.

    Wilbur Marshall pummeled Joe Ferguson and did the same. I wanna say it was when he was with the Lions. Knocked him off his feet and unconscious.

    Lots of losses in Ricky's managerial career. But he's had to at least have fun watching the development of young players enter the league the past 7-8 years.
  12. PackLandVA
    I didn’t watch but why not go for the FG anyway at the end? At least then worst case scenario is you go to OT if Seattle gets a TD and the 2 point. That’s not to say they shouldn’t have gone for 2 earlier though. I get you want to kill the game if you have the chance but the ability to not just lose in regulation seems valuable. Agree with you 100%! My point about going for two was that it would’ve made the subsequent 4th down decision easier. He fucked up the two point conversion but was given a chance to redeem himself after the Vikings interception. And then instead of taking the FG to go up by a TD and 2pt conversion, he made another dumb decision y not taking the points. Minnesota should’ve won but deserved to lose.
  13. PackLandVA
    Zimmer is an idiot. Should've gone for two to put them up by 6. If he misses the 2-pt conversion, there's really no difference between being up by 4 or 5. A TD still beats you. And then it would've made the 4th down call easy -go for the FG and be up 7 or 9. But that jacka$s made the wrong decision twice and it cost his team the game.

    I believe this exact quote was stated by someone back in early August in another thread.

    Spend a bazillion dollars and sign the top 6-8 Free Agents.

    2 straight walks and then an 0-2 count and you swing at a borderline strike / pitcher's pitch?
  18. PackLandVA
    For those not watching.....?
  19. PackLandVA
    I attribute my 0-2 record to nursing a bad shoulder this season. Or the Cubs being the the suckiest sucks that ever sucked. One or the other, I don’t know. Maybe both.
  20. PackLandVA
    I don’t mind if they lose because it’s never to soon to start getting my hopes up about next season.
  21. PackLandVA
    More bunts.

    Liam Hendriks looks a bit like Joey Votto's long lost twin.
  23. PackLandVA
    That Mario thing can’t be real, right?!?! That would take a million tries to figure out, no???
  24. PackLandVA
    I was a fan a JJ. ALways seemed like he was having fun. I remember he always seemed like a big power hitter in the batter's box, but really was never much of one. Twenty year career for "jag". Good for you JJ and rest in peace!
  25. PackLandVA
    None of those Marlins’ stats matter if the Cubs can’t score runs. Hoping KB, Rizz and Javy activate their “power ups” during the postseason.
