i don't think good dolphin has watched an NFL game in years, truthfully.

I most certainly did know that in making my post.

I believe the Vikings have the talent to be a regular playoff attendee for the next few years. However, dome teams rarely do well outside of a dome setting at playoff time. I believe this will be particularly true of the Bridgewater lead Vikings, whose game has been shown to be susceptible to bad weather.

I'm not as upset as last year. Last year's team shit the bed and could have won the Super Bowl. Packers need a solid ILB and then Matthews could go back to OLB. I imagine they will draft a RB to light a fire under Lacy's ample ass. Wish they'd get serious about a real ass TE. Maybe they are since they fired the TE coach.

Report: Mike McCarthy Fed Up With Packers Management Refusing To Sign Free Agents

Cornerbacks suck.
Lacy too fat. No zip.

This team has wild card win and out written all over them.

I think Randell will eventually be good but they can't keep leaving him on an island this year. Also, Capers is a dipshit. Personnel doesn't really matter since they have been routinely torched by #1 wideouts for his entire tenure here.

Caper has it made. Defense is never amazing but never dreadful except for '11.

Then every time there is a blown assignment the excuse parroted by writers is all the young blood Ted is always churning needs time to learn the "complicated" Caper scheme.

Classic McCarthy era win yesterday; jump out to a big lead early, get conservative, and eke out a victory. I think Lacy is hitting the holes a lot faster than he was last year. He had a nice game yesterday. Secondary is still bad, yes, but Burnett was out. I can't even imagine what OBJ is going to do to them in 2 weeks. Need Sam Shields back! Run defense best in the league so far.

The run defense does look legitimately good, which is encouraging. I like Blake Martinez.

Does McCarthy have any say on defense? I legit have no idea. McCarthy's offense only had 3 series to score in the 2nd half which they did once with the FG.

More and more I'm getting sick of Rodgers' act. This diva bitch needs to start pointing the thumb instead of the finger.

Missed wide open Cobb for a shitty fade:
https://vine.co/v/5rMxFFUb2lX

More missed open throws:









I'm getting sick of hearing it's the play-calling when Princess Aaron Munn is worried more about his interception rates than throwing the ball. Let's go bitch boy

That last still looks like he's rolling out from pressure, you want him to throw across his body on the move?

Take Rogers off that team and they suck.

I read a gossip piece the other day that Rogers is in an unhappy place because his former paramour is getting married. This is affecting his play over the past year.

Rodgers has all day. The guy "rolling" is the open receiver Davante Adams.

The masquerade of being a heterosexual male has led a steady decline in performance. Deep down he knows he misses Kevin.

Kevin is getting married? Dammit. I have been callin for his return for over a year.

http://totalpackers.com/2016/07/ah-aaro ... it-family/ That pretty much explains it all.

Interesting article about Rodgers and Favre's relationship:

Agreed. Very good read. Not remotely surprised Favre is a jock boy alpha male, type.

hey while the thread is bumped, can one of you packer-backers/NFL-people tell me how your 2016 green bay packers are looking? i haven't had a chance to see them (nor do i have rodgers in any fantasy leagues) so i haven't really gotten a gauge on how good this year's team is. would i be correct in assuming that they're the usual ~(8-8 to 11-5) pretty/good team that isn't especially strong on either the offensive or defensive line, but when you have aaron rodgers and a returning jordy nelson it's theoretically possible that in any given year the packers can get some kind of running-game/o-line or defense whilst aa-rod goes HAM and they're legit contenders?

we've pretty much assumed the packers are at least somewhat-legit contenders every year since their super bowl, but they typically come up short (even when 15-1) and therefore after their last game of the season packers post-game radio is chock full of callers bemoaning how anyone (especially management) could possibly think this team was good enough to contend. is that once again the case here, or is that just 100% fresh salt/butthurt and the packers are perennial legit/ish contenders?

also btw idk if it was in this thread or another one, but i know i mentioned that the josh sitton thing was quite possibly racially charged (kaepernick/BLM/etc) and involving clinton ha ha-dix, but of course that was just *wanking motion* and total conjecture until bernstein got on the radio and said that [PROFESSIONAL WRITER] of [PROFESSIONAL SITE] said that there was possibly some sort of racial angle involving ha ha clinton dix, and therefore it was 100% OFFICIAL/LEGIT like bernstein said (even tho i'd bet that this journo dude just read/heard the same thing i did =)

So far their run defense has been absurdly good...but we're only 4 games in and that small of a sample size can be misleading. If they have similar results against Dallas then I will believe it. Their secondary should be a strength but has been inconsistent. The o-line has been very good and doesn't appear to miss Sitton. Lacey has been strong but now has a bum ankle. Rodgers has also been inconsistent. Throwing for tds at a decent rate but still missing open receivers. Hoping it's just a matter of gelling following Jordy's return. All in all I'd say they look like an 10-11 win team. If the defense is really this good and the offense begins to click they are a contender. As of now I'm not convinced that will happen.

Looked real good yesterday despite the loss. But two dropped interceptions on Atlanta's last drive? Next three games are very winnable.

I don't think they looked that good. I know they were down a lot of key players, but this is the exact same team we've seen several times over the last few years. They may win one playoff game, two tops, and then be bounced again. Something needs to change.

This team was given up on weeks ago. It's unwatchable.

The beautiful Sundays have made skipping NFL very easy.

Not buying that. If this is the new normal for Rogers, this becomes a .500 team with an arrow pointing down for the future

It is. He's been bad for a year and half now.

Better hope for another miracle draft

I think the players are fine but good god is MM one stubborn old sac of shit. Its been years now that you watch things work...and then you watch him do something completely the opposite the next series and miserably fail. You can tell Aaron hates him with a passion now. They need to lose....they need change...they are an arrogant and unlikeable organization right now.
