Packer fans were so quiet! It was awesome.

Remember when the Packers went for it on 4th and 2 when they could have kicked a field goal?

My thoughts: I hope AP is okay but if not I'd like to see them sign Jhurell Pressley. I thought he was going to make the final roster. I like that kid Ham a lot too.

I've been watching this team since December 1970 and we always seem to lead the league in near misses when it comes to fumble recoveries and picks. Drives me effing crazy.

The o-line has been a major disappointment. I was really looking forward to a big improvement this year.

I really had a feeling at 17-14 that we couldn't hang on. Nice to catch a break or two. 2-0 Baby...SKOL!!

Yeah, they used Starks. They should have used Lacy. He would have made it.

Pressley signed with GB.

Didnyou guys see Boone's comments after the game about the criwd noise? What a jerk. How about actually block someone ratger than complaining about the crowd noise.

Diggs is a legit star now. Leading the league in receiving yards with 2 different QBs (one being Shaun Hill)! Last year he was great with his routes, fakes, and catching abilities, but he's added a layer this year with being sneaky about his hands and eyes so the DBs can't deflect the ball. It's a thing that most WRs don't do and especially can't do in their 2nd year. Great stuff. Oh, also he's really fast.

He blamed the false starts and other issues on the crowd noise. He said, "When we have the ball, shut the #### up".

I don't remember hearing any crowd noise when we had the ball at all.

It was fairly quiet but I mean there are Packer fans so it's not going to be a library.

You were handed the game on a ridiculously, inexplicably bad PI call, but that isnt your players fault, they played hard tonight for that W in Minny, see you later at Lambeau.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Shock me.
There were a couple of P.I calls against us tonight that were waaaaaaaay softer than that one. Doesn't mean they weren't the correct call (apart from one of Waynes' :P )
Defence/Bradford/Diggs turned up. And the Pack did not. End of. Even with 5000+ penalty yards received, you still couldn't win.
I wonder at times, if this is a troll account. Well sir, no fishies will bite when the team wins. :govikes:
See you in the post season, possibly. best raise your game a bit. Scratching wins against the Jags isn't going to get it done. :beerock:

Don't get me wrong I love Peterson and hope he comes back quick but
I think it will finally help us pass the ball ....It looked like a broken ankle
from the way he was carried out. We should know this week luckily we have
two or three good running backs.

Rodgers had a nice big bruise on his arm after Captain Bi- Ceps smacked him
too. hey if you run the ball and don't dive you get hit son ...Old fish eyes
thinks the rules don't apply to him, I quess
no one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

He's really coming along nicely and Bradford can only help. Diggs has spirit too!

That takes nerve considering he's been the worst o-lineman on the team through two games. He's been brutal, especially as a run blocker.

He needs to shut up and play because right now, he looks like a massive waste of free agent money.
