2024-25 NFL Thread

I was in college for the Lynn Dickey, Randy Wright, Don Majkowski era of Packer qbs.  I know how good the Packers had it for the Favre-AR era.

Lynn Dickey was seriously underrated.  Dude could sling the ball.  He just didn't have much around him and was hurt too much.

David Whitehurt and Anthony Dilweg on the other hand...

Interestingly enough, Dilweg is probably the wealthiest former Packer QB not named Rodgers.  My sister recently had a business deal with his real estate company, they are very legit in the SouthEast

Everyone deserves to love and be loved.  I hope it is their Hallmark ending.

[JWags85]

Hallmark is KC based, I see what you did there.

I thought you were quite a bit younger than me, tower. Dickey was the Packers' starting QB most of the time I was at MU (when he was healthy) - but he did play until 1985, so you musta caught him right at the end?

I went to quite a few games because the Pack used to play several times a year at County Stadium back then. I enjoyed watching them because they were an entertaining offensive team with Lofton, Coffman, Eddie Lee Ivery, Aundra Thompson, and (my senior year) John Jefferson.

IIRC, Dickey had bad knees and a not-great OL, so he took a lot of sacks. Just looked it up and he had 40 INTs and 26 fumbles my junior and senior years - yikes! He was a high-risk, not-so-high-reward QB, with a 43-56-2 record as GB starter and 1 playoff win in 9 seasons.

Vikings manhandling 49ers defense

This is gonna be another one of those dumb weeknight NFL games, isnt it?  Niners march down the field and end up with a McCaffrey red zone fumble and a missed FG and Vikings steamroll 2 consecutive drives for points.

Also, is it just me or was the OPI on Osborn pretty ticky tack?

Looked like a weak call

To be fair, the Vikes fumbled to even allow that 49ers drive to start.

Think Vikes will be kicking themselves not getting 7 on that second long drive.

Would rather have Addison than Lukas Van Nowhere to be seen

BUMP

[PGsHeroes32]

Vikings with two elite WR draft picks in the last 4 years

Gonna need to properly fill in the rest of the team at some point....

[PGsHeroes32]

Vikes finally win a home game.

With the up coming schedule theyd be in decent shape to have a interesting second half if they just won one of the 4 close games they dropped. But........doesnt work that way.

Holy hell was Purdy bad down the stretch. 2 really terrible INTs

What if he's not Johnny U?

[tower912]

Cousins up.
Purdy down.

[WhiteTrash]

I guess since I have been fascinated by the clown show that is the Chicago Bears, I didn't realize that the Bears average more points and and yards per game than the Packers. Everyone recognizes that the Bears are awful, but WTF with GB?
(GB smacked down the Bears, so I know the Pack is better)

This Bills/Bucs game has been all kinds of boring.

I don't know if McDermott is gunshy cause theyve been all over the place and pretty bad this year, but it was the most conservative and lame Ive ever seen the Bills play.  4th and 2 and 4th and short inside the Bucs 45, they did the totally predictable and not at all convincing "fake snap" and took DOG penalties and then punted.  They would go for that 100% of the time last year with Allen, especially the 4th and 2.

Randall Cobb a healthy scratch.  Jets realizing what Packer fans knew, he's washed up

[WhiteTrash]

Mahomes out today?

[cheebs09]

Mahomes out today?

I think he's playing but battling the flu.

[Pakuni]

Mahomes out today?

Schefter and Rapoport both say he's playing.

[Herman Cain]

Looking forward to Jags at Steelers game today.
