1. Talk to us after 3 Super Bowl wins.

;)

[LynneSin]

2. Seems Destiny needs an SSRI to deal with their loss to the Eagles

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Oh and...


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[HuckleB]

4. Seems like Eagle fans are wishful thinkers, too.

TIme to get a life, if you ask me.

[LynneSin]

10. I have a life - adoring the world of the Philadelphia Eagles

Slit my wrists and I will bleed Eagles Green.

:D

[HuckleB]

14. Hmm.

What does projecting an imaginary depression upon the fans of another team have to do with that?

:evilgrin:

[PVnRT]

16. Winning with dignity

evidently is not a hallmark of Eagles fans...neither his hitting "Return" so that we don't have to scroll allllll the way over to hit "Reply."

[HuckleB]

3. Wishful thinking on the part of Vikings fans.

Every Packer fan I know is eating well, sleeping well, doing well, thank you very much. It was just a game: A game most Packer fans hardly expected to even see the team playing a couple weeks ago. It was a pleasant surprise. If anything, we're euphoric about the future, with the possibility of an improved defense leading to bigger and better things.

[judge_smales]

5. Quit your whining, crybabies!!

Philly hasn't seen a superbowl since 1960!! We'll tell you about dissapointment!!

[Whitacre D_WI]

6. Uh...

There was no Super Bowl in 1960.

[judge_smales]

12. Well, you're right.-

"There was no Super Bowl in 1960." It was just "The Championship" then. So I guess you could say this will be a first.

[wysimdnwyg]

24. Um, the Eagles went to the Super Bowl in 1980

They LOST, but they still went.

(No other point, just clarifying matters a little.)

[HuckleB]

25. For what it's worth.

I've always wondered why so many folks count Super Bowl wins and appearances as something different than Championships and championship game appearances. The Super Bowl is really just a promoter's term for Championship Game, after all.

[HuckleB]

8. Why is everyone such a wishful thinker today?

Who's whining? Who's a crybaby?

Show me the whine!

[LynneSin]

13. That would be 1980-81 season

We have seen a Superbowl. Didn't win it, but we were there!

[trotsky]

17. Take off the green-and-yellow glasses...

Favre's not the player he once was. Well, thinking about that, he's always made boneheaded decisions at certain times, so maybe he's still the player he was.

This year, the Pack WRs played way over their heads. Javon Walker is on the verge of being a bust - his strutting and inattentiveness may have cost his team a game-winning TD. The secondary is suffering (allowing a conversion on 4th and 26?!?). Ahman Green is about the lone bright spot on the team, and he still hasn't cured his fumbling problem.

You can try to be optimistic, but I doubt the Packers will make the playoffs next year.

Vikes have 20 million under the cap for next year, Packers less than 4. Who will have an easier time filling the holes?

[Whitacre D_WI]

18. Walker ran an in, Favre threw a post.

On the interception, that is. I'm not saying it wasn't Favre's fault, I'm not saying it was. Just that it's not so simple as "Favre thew a boneheaded pass" -- he could have thrown the right pass, while Walker ran the wrong route.

Anyway, I think the Packers will make the playoffs again next year if for no other reason than the division is very weak. I am not optimistic for the future, though; because Favre is getting old, and there has been no real push from Sherman to begin grooming his successor.

[trotsky]

22. Division

I think the Vikes will turn the corner next year. We were a couple of bad coaching calls away from running away with the division (calls eerily similar to the ones that lost the Philly game for GB). Opening the season with a win in the renovated Lambeau was a pretty impressive accomplishment, despite the games dropped down the stretch.

Yes, Detroit and Chicago will remain the punching bags, but GB will have an even harder time winning the division next year.

[HuckleB]

19. Blah. Blah. Blah.

The Vikings are a 3-7 team. The Packers a 7-2 team. Who's got more holes? Oh, and who is better at personnel decisions, in the first place?

As for the Packer receivers, you couldn't be more off base. But Minnesota dreaming is all right with me. It never hurt anyone.

[trotsky]

20. Let go of your bitterness.

Packers 10-6 (Victory #10 thanks to a Denver team taking the week off.) - A 2-game drop from last year.
Vikings 9-7 - A 3-game improvement from last year.

Both teams have significant holes. Who is better at personnel decisions? I dunno, the Packers have had their share of draft (Jamal Reynolds) and free-agent (Joe Johnson) busts.

And I'll stand by my Packers receivers statement.

[HuckleB]

23. Your imagination is quite magical.

Whatever gets you through the day, as I already said. But bitterness? Quite a magical imagination indeed. Projection must be an art form in Minnesota, eh?

[trotsky]

26. LOL... as bitter as burnt coffee!

Stop insulting fans of other teams, and just talk football.

[HuckleB]

29. You can't make up your mind.

First I've got "green-and-yellow glasses" then I'm bitter. I guess I'm whatever you need me to be, eh? Well, that is how projection works, I guess. And projection is what started this thread...

[trotsky]

32. You can't be both?

Overly optimistic about your team, and overly harsh, insulting, and bitter towards fans of other teams. You're proving it more with each post! :D

[HuckleB]

33. Like I said, I'm clearly whatever you need me to be.

A good imagination is fine by me. Apparently you think that makes me bitter. If you feel better thinking that, then so be it.

:evilgrin:

[Bluzmann57]

7. Packer fan here

but a Cub fan too. After that eighth inning, I am nearly immune to this kind of stuff. But what exactly were the Packers doing when they gave up a 4th and 26? Right there was their "8th inning".

[LynneSin]

11. Well that OT pass that Farve threw was pretty boneheaded

My mother could have caught that pass.

:shrug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. Sherman's calls were boneheaded and should have negated the

need for that pass...I focus on the errors of the idiot in the headphones..:( All this is moot now anyway. :cry:

[LynneSin]

21. Here, can i give you a hug

:hug:

You can be an honorary Eagles fan!!

[bearfan454]

30. It sure is.

They are the arch enemy of the Bears but I still thought they would have gone farther then they did.

[Halle]

9. Oh, my goodness!

It's not whether you win the game, it's just so long as the Packers lose! }(


:grouphug:

[RetroLounge]

27. Oh you can all just cry me a freaking river...

I am a Bear's fan after all.

and it hurts...

[bearfan454]

28. Been there, done that.

I am a lifelong Chicago Bear fan.

[Rattlesnake]

31. Amen to that!

Boo hoo Packers fans! Quit yer whinin'!

[HuckleB]

34. Who's whining?

That's a Minnesota paper projecting depression upon Packer fans. It's an imaginary depression, my friend, designed to make Vikings fans feel better.

[Rattlesnake]

35. I don't even want to get into it.

It made a very ugly turn yesterday and I want to avoid that as much as possible for now on.

[HuckleB]

36. Then why did you start it?

[Rattlesnake]

37. I didn't.

I'm just replying to what the person posted who started it.

[HuckleB]

38. Nice try.

You chose to make a blast that doesn't meld with reality. That's starting it in any book, my friend.

[Rattlesnake]

39. Man, don't do this.

I'm not in the mood. Argue with someone else who said the exact thing I did.

[HuckleB]

40. You're funny.

I guess you think you can say whatever you want without being called on it? That's not how it works. I'm not being rude, by the way. This is a sports thread. Don't take life so seriously.

By the way, my question still stands: Who's whining?

[Foehammer]

41. Its the same troll from yesterday hehe... at it again

Rattlesnake I told you the DUers dont suffer ppl who dont back up their posts

[HuckleB]

42. Hmm.

I was starting to wonder if he was just playing games. Sounds like it.

[TopesJunkie]

54. Rattlesnake -- What's your problem?

Sheesh. --

[Foehammer]

43. Hmm Packer fan ... no depression here :)

They got alot farther then I thought they would.
It was a better game then the Falcons game last year
ouch that one hurt..hehe.

[HuckleB]

44. Stop your whining!

You bitter, bitter being!

;)

:silly:

[fishnfla]

45. Now is the winter of our discontent

Not! We won the division for the second year in a row. We swept the Bears. (I would be happy if the 2 wins in a 2-14 season were that) There was alot of excitment at the end of the season. The Packers are still America's team (Bratwurst communism-BOOYAH!!)

McNabb is making Rush look like an idiot (along with our defensive 11), so thats a bonus.

There's always next year. Like my grandma would say, "smelt season will be here soon"

[HuckleB]

46. Mmmmmmm. Smeeeeeelt. Gooooooood.

[fishnfla]

48. actually my grandmas saying comes from a recipe

for canned smelt. I prefer them fried. Either way smelt season= draft time.:)

[HuckleB]

49. Well, then here's to finding another rookie of the year candidate.

Must have been a good run last year.

[fishnfla]

51. thats a big Roger!

Barnett is awesome. We'll see what Sherman comes up with this year. WR maybe, or DE.

[Foehammer]

47. "smelt season will be here soon" hehe

[fishnfla]

50. dontcha' just love the boundless optimism in that phrase?

gets us thru many bouts of cabin fever.

[GregW]

52. I wonder when the Vicodin-Kid will blame that pass on dear ol' Dad

Seeing as how he was SUCH an inspiration for everything else he did.

:eyes:

RIP Cheeseheads

[HuckleB]

53. Now that's bitter.

Just in case anyone needed an example of the real thing.

:evilgrin:
