I'm giving you a "like" on this because I think it's a funny post, not because of his crotch shots.Somewhere, Favre is smiling. And taking crotch shots.
Congratulations, you were right.I've seen Packer fans here and other sites who said we were unbeatable.
I commented on some of them.
There is no such thing as unbeatable.
Number one, we've never had to play a stretch of games without our #1 receiver, Greg Jennings. People under-estimate how great he is, as people under-estimated how great Nick Collins was. Not sure why that is.... maybe just arrogance, or maybe because we overcame a ton of injuries last year. But they weren't key guys other than Finley.
And you are seeing how overrated Finley was. He A) drops way too many passes, B) doesn't even get seperation on anyone anymore.... the Chiefs got guys way more open than he gets. So do 2 tight ends on the Patriots.
And the other reason I said we were beatable (see the poll), was because our defense SUCKS. Turnovers are partly luck. Great QBs don't serve up Ints. Drew Brees didn't to us in week one, and he didn't when we played him a few years ago. When we do not get turnovers, our defense SUCKS PERIOD.
They can't get 3 & outs ever. They can't get field position for us.
It started like that today with the first drive of the game. 2 short runs and it was 3rd & 8 at the KC 22 yard line. Capers called a great blitz from the edge by safety Burnett, who came in untouched at Orton. But the bast*rd Sam Shields couldn't even cover for 2 seconds as he fell down. Just fell down.
Allowed a first down instead of an early 3 & out which would have given us great field position. On the rest of that drive to start the game, we allowed a few more 3rd down conversions as they marched to the 1-yard line and settled for the FG.
Even though our defense held them to FGs most of the time, they allowed the Chiefs to keep the ball too long, move the chains, and keep Rodgers off the field, out of rythym.
Not only did that keep us out of rythym, it kept Tamba Hali fresh.
We've seen our defense carved up many times this year like this, but we usually got bailed out by bad passes for Ints. Today, we saw Woodson bite on one, and it allowed the guy to be wide open... and no pick.
Our defense is suspect, and Drew Brees would light us up right now for about 50 points. Hell, I think Tebow's Broncos would carve us up... you see our run defense on the final drive of the game when we knew KC would run to try and run the clock out? THEY STILL RAN RIGHT THRU US, inside, and outside, easy first downs. Pathetic. Knowing they were running, we still didn't come close to stopping them there. Denver would rush for 350 yards on the defense we saw today.
Where are those fans who said we were unbeatable because we had Aaron Rodgers, now?
When Orton throws for 299 yards, its the defense problem
Last I checked, points determined the outcome of games. We should be able to outscore 19 points.
That's the same message I was trying to get across.... I think we older fans have seen, felt, and learned some things that some of our younger fans haven't, and that means nothing is for certain.I recall all the posts about making the SB, winning the SB etc..I was trying to be level headed and remind people nothing is for sure..
Maybe this game will make that point hit home..
This is not me saying TOLD YOU SO, but merely stating do not take it for granted..
With that said, the 97 team lost to a 0-14 Colt team, with a rookie q/b and still went to the SB
I would love to see the negative and fair weather fans leave this forum and find another team after this year.... You know it is bad enough to have to deal with other hateful fans such as Steelers and Cowboys fans but it really sucks when "fans" of your own team just focus on the negative and complain week in and week out... If we suck that bad, get the hell on and root for someone else!
People are upset and they have right to be, so am I...
The way they lost hurts, give people time they will be okay..Everyone deals with grief one way or another..
Some dont think rationally, some let it roll of their back, and some are level headed..
I trust McCarthy, but there's not a lot he can do if our guys can't pass-protect, and if our guys can't get to the other team's QB.
You dont have to school me on the rational of how people deal with things... I understand that people have their own way of showing it... Trust me Jim I am upset too... but I am not going to go on a rant and throw the team I love under the bus or out of the running for the Lombardi... My thing is that negativity spreads like a cancer... Negative threads like these just poison the integrity of our fans and this forum... Sure there is room for concern... but instead of beating a dead horse and talking about all the problems and why we lost, why not talk about ways the problems can be fixed and be optimistic that some of our guys will come back healthy and we will be right on track... Be apart of the solution and not the problem... Thats all I am saying.
Another thing that adds fuel to the fire is how some of our own have taken to Twitter to attack our own players... Even BJ was pissed about it... This is the kinda crap that aids threads like this... Straight Garbage!
RT@ASAPschmitty:@MNewhouse74 You got owned today man. Take a cold shower when you get back to your apartment.#unforgivableRT@BradArgall:@MNewhouse74 good job.

Just letting you know that nothing you say, or do, people will rant and claim the sky is falling...
It will never change..Let them go off on how they want, and it helps them....We might hate it, but wont change a thing..
Those tweets are just plain disrespectful...They players feel, bad enough, no need for that crap
Some people don't believe home fans should ever boo their team. Some think since they spend hundreds on the tickets, which help to pay those players millions, that the fan certainly has that right.
By the way this thread started before yesterdays loss.
