    Dumb league. How is this sustainable. Yes, just keep alienating 4/5 of your fanbases.
  2. OldSchoolSnapper
    I agree. They were a lot more convincing today. There was a point this year where I thought they were going to dive and finish like 9-8. I still don't really take them seriously as a contender. I think they are playing at their ceiling. And they are going to likely regress when they have to move on from Darnold and into what is an unknown. I am not sure Darnold is a miracle though. He is a 1st round talent that cratered with the Jets - he really wasn't even terrible for them, and then landed in Carolina. Just hasn't ever been in a good spot. Just makes me think Zach Wilson should get a second chance too.

    The only reason Tampa is 7-6 is the schedule and injuries. Without injuries to the receivers that is a 10 or 11 win team and look at who they have lost to, and by how much. You want the Packers to finish 6th and Minnesota 5th for that reason. I think that is happening anyway.

    The weirdness of the NFC North is ... weird. I believe I want the Vikings to win, and Tampa to take the South. I think they are the best team there by a wide margin, and that would set them up against Minnesota, a game I think they could very well win. I think GB is destined to make two trips to Seattle. Then likely head to Detroit in the divisional if they can win in Seattle. I guess you can make an argument the Packers could still move into 5 and get a game with Atlanta which they really should win, but I think it's pretty unlikely at this point. Minnesota could lose their last 2 games but I don't think Atlanta will hold that division. Not sure I want to visit Tampa as a 5th seed.

    Lol. I couldn't agree more. I told everyone this was going to happen last year, prior to the NFCCG. Most here wanted Detroit to win. I did not, because I know once they win the Super Bowl they will be insufferable, and people are glossing over it, particularly Packers fans, because they have always been bad. Well, they seem to have circumvented winning the Super Bowl, and have just gone straight to the annoying stage.

    I keep seeing people point out that the Lions are better but I don't think I've seen a single person here or otherwise say that they aren't. The gap is small enough to fall under any given Sunday though. Whereas, for example in 2020 with SF, there was not a chance in hell the Packers were going to make it close.

    I went once when I was SSH. It stunk, to be frank. Nothing really special and the "discounts" seemed pretty lame.
  8. OldSchoolSnapper
    He did get kicked out, he is a season seat holder, and this was not his first time down on the field, but you can guarantee it will be his last. When nobody cares about this fart of a story in a week, he'll regret that. Matt LaFluer will probably never think about it again and didn't until he was asked about it. Also appears to have the IQ of a potato.
  9. OldSchoolSnapper
    Almost impossible to make that throw without properly planting your feet, usually would come out as a duck that gets picked off, which was definitely a possible outcome here. But if people want to see him hit these throws they will have to live with some picks. I am OK with it. He definitely does not seem to let his mistakes get to him.
  10. OldSchoolSnapper
    It's a big "don't care" from me. Frankly wish more morons were put in their place like that. Got kicked off the field and likely faced serious discipline as a season ticket holder, most clubs do not take well to that crap, when you are on the field to hold the flag for the anthem. I don't know who decided that athletes and coaches are just supposed to stand there and let people mouth off to them. There is a line and this idiot crossed it, this isn't the same as yelling from your seat. I like MLF's passion on the sidelines and yes, I do think he was being a bit theatrical to get the team going. If it bothered him, fine. It would bother me too.
  11. OldSchoolSnapper
    You've got to stop listening to stuff coaches say in press conferences. It's all fake. I actually thought he was trying to rile his own players up. He knows he wasn't de-escalating. Telling a guy to shut the F up isn't de-escalating, lol. I don't think he was "worried" about this guy and I don't think it really affected his job. It's fine. It's fodder for sports talk. It's just not a significant thing at all. I couldn't care less.
  12. OldSchoolSnapper
    He's been VERY accurate all year though. There was a game earlier I remember watching where he was like 23/24 late in the game. It's a lot of quick passes and dump offs and let the athletes pick up YAC. It's not hard to figure out though, I don't think it has a lot to do with MLF. They've haven't had a MLB in like 20 years. Desmond Bishop looked like he was going to be the guy but he never came back from that hamstring injury.
  13. OldSchoolSnapper
    A takeaway is made much more likely by a dependable pass rush. The bigger problem is that you most likely have to do that 4 times in a row against high-level QB play in the playoffs. The Packers hypothetical run could be Baker Mayfield - Jared Goff - Jalen Hurts - Mahomes/Allen. You're just not going to do that without consistent pressure. It is easier to mask in the regular season when half your games are against scrubs.
  14. OldSchoolSnapper
    Jokes aside, I hope we get a third game. It would just be fun as a fan. There's a lot of bad blood with these teams now and it would just be good TV. I feel as good about where the Packers are and the matchup as I think I can, given that I think we are the weaker team, if that makes sense. I would rather play Detroit indoors a third time than go to Philadelphia for the Divisional.
  15. OldSchoolSnapper
    They were down a couple guys last night that will be back soon. But two points - one of the "backups" they were counting was Z. Smith, which is a joke, and really, they pressured so well that it shouldn't really matter if they play again. The regular guys couldn't have played a lot better than the front they used.
  16. OldSchoolSnapper
    They flat-out will not win the Super Bowl without a pass-rusher getting hot, a new blitz package or both. It becomes that much more important when you're now only playing good QBs.
  17. OldSchoolSnapper
    The funny thing is there is a lot of evidence this team is way better than last year. At 9-4 they have lost 4 games to 3 teams at a combined 32-5. 3/4 losses had the game still in question on the final possession or two. Last season they had a handful of very blah losses. They did get hot, but even going into Dallas the consensus was they had already had a good season no matter what. It's not apples to apples, I understand heightened expectations, but this is a good football team. They are a good candidate for a playoff dark horse. I think it's reasonable to consider the season overall a disappointment if they are eliminated in Rd 1 or Rd 2. But that's life. You don't always get the results.
  18. OldSchoolSnapper
    One could. One could also make the argument the Packers had a chance because of the one they failed to get. The game was most likely still won without them converting the last one and just kicking. The one to end the first half was a gutsy one that I love, that was probably the biggest one of the game, that I think most coaches would not attempt. The other one at the goal line was pretty obvious to try. Packers punted 3x. From the 35, 37 and 4th and 5 from the DET 47. The 47 is the one you'd consider chancing, but I thought it was the right move to play the field position game at that point of the game. It was very early. The distance is relevant too. Packers were in 4th and long. I don't recall exactly but the Lions were in a very short distance every time I believe.
  19. OldSchoolSnapper
    Pretty much where I'm at. The Packers are not beyond having a dogfight with Tampa/Seattle/Atlanta in the Wild Card. But they are close enough to Detroit that who knows, some goofy bounces and they can steal one. The Lions were missing guys, but so were the Packers. One of their "backup DL" was Za'Darius Smith. It's being played up a bit much. My money is on a 2nd round loss. I think they are playing as well as we can hope right now though to end the season. Love looks better. Need a few guys healthy and hoping they can scheme a way to get better pressure. I am optimistic. They have not gone with a heavy-run offensive scheme yet against Detroit, and I am hoping they kept some defensive looks in their back pocket.
  20. OldSchoolSnapper
    Idk. He is 4-0 against McVay including a thumping the year they won the SB and a playoff game. I don't think that's at all the be-all, end-all, but I thought that was the weakest champion in years and they got lucky they didn't have to play GB again. McDermott? He would fail the same "big game" test. Reid is the best in the business. Tomlin's history speaks for itself but even he transitioned from Ben with Russell Wilson. The Harbaughs have lost a LOT of big games and have 1 title between them. Great coaches, not saying they are worse. But I get the sense that most fans are a lot more generous with other team's coaches than their own. MLF got the Packers back into contention when they clearly looked cooked with Rodgers at the helm. They didn't get back to the SB which sucked, but it was still an achievement. Then seamlessly transitioned with a young QB that most people wanted run out of town. I agree that the pool of guys you listed are pretty subjective, but would still think MLF is top 5 based on the impressiveness of the good he has done.
  21. OldSchoolSnapper
    They came in with the youngest team in the league again this year and are sitting 9-4. This is a brutal crowd. They have the talent "to win." I just don't think they are quite literally one of the best 4 teams in the NFL. It's not like they are 3-10 here. Not gonna deny some of the 1st round whifs though. They should probably just stop drafting out of Georgia completely.
  22. OldSchoolSnapper
    I don't know. It doesn't sound like you do either. The fact that the 4th down play probably had like a 37% chance of failure or something is enough reason to punt when you are at the 30 and have a lead. The bad side of the failed conversion is a lot worse than a decent punt. And I am not arguing with "mathematical principles." This is actually of the things that drives me INSANE about the analytics movement. You can argue a call based on the situational variables and rationalize going against the percentages. Fact: NFL coaches have been punting and kicking stupid FGs for way too long. But also Fact: All sports take this crap too far and ignore the situational aspect of it at times, that was one of those times. As was the last one, but that one is much more justifiable than this one was. The Lions actually had a lot more on the line last night than GB did so I can get why he was going so hard.
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    And what was the win probability once they didn't covert it and the Packers immediately scored? Did it go down by more than 2%? Or the probability if the Packers start their next possession at their own 31? That is the problem with this crap. You are not going to convince me that was the correct call. It's not "because I'm used to it." It's just plain stupid and not necessary.
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    Without going down the list of names I would say he is a top 5 coach. They do not have the defensive personnel to be an elite team. Their star defensive player has turned into David Bhaktiari and they just do not pressure without a blitz. They transitioned QBs in a rebuild year and nearly made the NFCCG. Then lost their starting QB 3x and won all 3 games with a guy they picked up in August. I like his offense most of the time, if I had an issue with it, I think he gets away from the run too much. When we got the ball with 8 minutes left, I was really hoping we would try to grind them out and eat most of the time, instead we just went for big chunk plays. I get it, you have to score first, but I was hoping for some possession. You can count on him to waste a timeout at least once a half too. That seems to be the norm.
  25. OldSchoolSnapper
    That's a pretty drastic exaggeration. I am not sure the starters on the DL would have pressured Love any better than the group they had out there. They didn't really struggle to do that. And they didn't give the Packers 7 points. They had to make a stop and they did, once anyway. I think it's you and a couple others that need to take off the post-loss pouty glasses. The Packers played a very good team very tight on the road and came up a bit short. I think they will have a difficult time beating them if they have to, but they have enough of a chance that it's reasonable to see it happen. Detroit has clobbered a lot of teams this year and the Packers have shown twice that it at least shouldn't be a laugher when they play, and the first game was probably the worst the Packers have played all year. I hope there is a third game. I think it would be very fun to watch.
