2013 NFC North/NFL Thread

[brandx]

Kluwe's a jerkbait loser who always has been a bit of a sideshow weirdo.  His gay (and other) rants over the years have endeared him to non-sports lovers.

I don't know what was said... don't so much care unless I know the exact words, context, etc.

All I know is Kluwe's a d-head. Glad he's long gone.

He has never gone on a "gay rant" - his "rants" were about equal rights under the constitution.

It's also telling that you accuse him of a 'gay rant' and then proceed to say you don't know what was said. Says more about you than him, methinks.

Lovie and Leslie in TB? Man... who's gonna control that over-enthusiastic coaching staff?

Maybe they could dig up Tom Landry and prop him up on the sidelines.

Jim Caldwell to complete the team.

Learn to read/comprehend, young lefty. I said I don't know what was said by the special teams coach and in what context. I know EXACTLY what Kluwe has said over the years (i.e., gay rants).

Says plenty about you, meknow.

Your use of the term "gay rant" to describe kluwe's support of marriage equality is awfully ignorant.

That's funny.

[brandx]

what exactly does young lefty mean

[jesmu84]

is there any phrase to use other than "epic choke" to describe what the chiefs just did?

[Jay Bee]

Your use of the word ignorant is stoopid.

Your assumption that "gay rant" was used by me to describe Kluwe's support of marriage equality is awfully ignorant.

Go buy his band's CD and rock out, dude.

Anthony Davis not a fan of visiting Green Bay apparently. Within the same tweet though, we learned Naitch gave the pregame speech. Naitch loves visiting Wisconsin apparently.

Saints to Seattle. Looking forward to that. Plus if the packers win they play next Sunday which means I can go to my kids daughter, father dance and not miss the packer game. Good weekend for me.  So far.

[Sir Lawrence]

It's currently 5 degrees in Green Bay.  The temp will drop after the sun sets, but it's not going to be "Ice Bowl" cold.  And no, I wouldn't care to sit in it, but the hype machine was running a little too hot the past few days.

The wind will not be fun. The bad weather is just delayed a little. The high temp tomorrow will be around minus 15.  That's why you can't schedule around the weather a week in advance

Those 4 points left on the field at end of the first half cost the Pack in the end.

[brandx]

Please be gone now, Capers. Who would have thought that Kaeperneck  would run the ball?

2012 - best rushing game of year in playoffs vs. GB

[jesmu84]

why were the Packers running with Cobb inside the 10? And calling spread passes multiple times inside the red zone? It seems like the packers forget about their running game between the 30 and the 2.

[hairy worthen]

Not capers fault. You have to make an interception when it hits you in the hands. That was the game right there. Bush rushes inside breaking contain outside also killed them.  They were down to no outside linebackers and playing without their best corner and pass rusher. How is that capers fault.

This. McCarthy is an idiot sometimes. Whole fricken stadium can see what's happening, chanting, "Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!" Lacy and Starks are gnashing the crap out of SF. They get a first and goal and neither one touches the ball. Ridiculous. Sometimes there is just no reason to over think things. The FG is worth just as much if the defense stops you from doing what's been working.

Defense didn't come up big at the end, but they did enough. Offense and play calling was not good.

I've been saying it for a very long time and people continue to say I don't know what I'm talking about. McCarthy is not a good football coach. He gets away with it because he has the best quarterback in the NFL, but throughout his entire head coaching career he consistently fails to put points on the board, or allows opponents to put points on the board, due to incredibly stupid decisions (timeouts inside 2 minutes with the other team having the ball and 2nd and medium situations and they go to score, challenging plays that clearly won't get overturned and vice versa, horrible play calls in key situations, accepting penalties where the best result possible already occurred for the Pack, etc. etc.). I mean, the reason Eddie Lacy had ankle injury issues for the last few games of the season was because McCarthy ran 2 plays with 12 seconds left in a first half from our own 20 yard line and Matt Flynn under center. First play is an incomplete pass then he runs with Lacy who sprains his ankle. What good could come of that situation? Take a knee and go to the locker room. Those kinds of decisions simply should not happen, and it's damn near 1 every game with McCarthy.

I agree.  Hyde could've/should've intercepted that pass. Jarrett Bush allows Kaep to break contain when it is pretty clear his only job was to not break contain.  And sometimes an Andy Mulumba ain't a Cadillac.  Those are mistakes and personnel problems, not breakdowns in scheme. 

Clock mismanagement at the end of the first half was incredibly frustrating.

You'd rather have who instead of TT and MM?  Saying MM is only as good as Rodgers should also be the case for our WR corps, right?  Armchair quarterbacks are the worst.  I'm quite proud of the way the team bounced back from adversity to take what was given or there for the taking.  We could have won, but we probably should have been blown out.  Not anything to do with coaching.  SF is just better, healthier and more complete.  I'll stick with MM.

OK. If you're alright with a coach who game in and game out costs the Packers 3-7 points every game so be it. At this level that is entirely unacceptable. I could find plenty of coaches who could avoid that issue while still telling Aaron Rodgers "go call the game for me and make me look like a genius."

Is it true that Slocum is related to a board member (through marriage, I believe)?
