[QUOTE="JeffQuery, post: 251409, member: 574"] This is why 60% of Packer fans are rooting against their team tonight... (Taken from another site...and dead on balls accurate!) [B]Homer Fans and Media Softening the Blow[/B] October 4th, 2009 [URL="http://www.firetedthompsonnow.com/homer-fans-and-media-softening-the-blow/#comments"][COLOR=#810081]Goto comments[/COLOR][/URL] [URL="http://www.firetedthompsonnow.com/homer-fans-and-media-softening-the-blow/#respond"][COLOR=#0000ff]Leave a comment[/COLOR][/URL] [IMG]http://www.firetedthompsonnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/nfl_favre_thompson_580-300x168.jpg[/IMG]As we move into game day for the highly anticipated match between The Green Bay Packers and The Minnesota Favres, the homer fans and media are already trying to soften the blow of a potential Packer loss in an attempt to deflect the blame that Ted Thompson’s regime will undoubtedly be facing as the man that Thompson attempted to force out of the NFL returns to have his say in the matter. All of the staffers for PackersNews.com are picking the Vikings to soundly defeat the Pack 29-20, 27-20, 31-20, & 31-20 respectively and one can’t help to see this as an attempt to force the underdog role on the Packers to manage expectations following the outcome of the game. The plan is a simple one. Predict that the Packers will be outclassed by Favre and Company and you face a ‘can’t lose’ situation as a fan of the Packers. If they win, Ted Thompson is a genius who finally proved that Favre is washed up and shouldn’t be playing in the league while if they lose, its because Adrian Peterson is an unstoppable force and the Vikings are a superior team to our inexperienced yet promising young team. False. The truth of the matter is that a dam is about to explode tomorrow night for Ted Thompson and his local lovers in Wisconsin and it just may wash all of the homers out of town if things don’t work out for the Green and Gold. The Vikings SHOULD NOT be a better team than the Packers, period. They have been rebuilding for just as long as Uncle Ted has had control of his team and that fact that they are so far ahead of us is a tough pill for him and his supporters to swallow. Haters will make this game about Favre, when its really all about Ted Thompson. Its about how his team is on the inevitable decline while his rival’s team is on the steady rise. Its about how the talent level of the supporting positions in Minnesota such as offensive & defensive lines are light years ahead of Green Bay’s. Its about two different ways to run a team, and one of those dramatically failing. Its amazing the lengths these fans will go to protect Thompson who has clearly set this team back five years. Even the comments on my site: [INDENT]What happens if the impossible happens and the packers win this week? Will this site explode? [/INDENT]So its impossible now, huh? I thought Favre was washed up and was going to run the Vikings into the ground? Wow, if the Packers win, I must really have to eat my crow, right? Wrong. The Packers can win. In fact I think they have a better chance than most homer media and fans are giving them. Kinda ironic huh? [/QUOTE]
