Media spin on Green bay loss to Bears

[Maikeru-sama]

Looking at how miserable Favre and some of the Packers looking in that extreme cold and win I think they may have had a hard time convincing themselves that GB is the place to be in late Jan.

True, but the guy plays horrible at TS.

I don't think he wants to come here.

True, but at least he would not freeze. Brett has said many times he does not like the cold. Yes the Pack have seen success in poor conditions in the past but Brett looked miserable out there.

I have not watched the Packers much, but I am told that they can run the ball now.

I think if Favre had to choose, he would rather play at Green Bay.

Someone called into the Radio and actually suggested that the Packers threw that game so they would not play in Green Bay.

That's a nice theory, but personally I think they just got blew out.

Favre's record at (texas) stadium is now 0-9. One of the announcers during earlier game said Favre was going deep cause he saw our secondary as a big weak link. Later one of them also said he was playing liked he wanted to show his old way of playing was just as good as always and/or he thought he could replay the 90s games. In any case Favre blew it and gave us the game. If he hadn't been hurt, that game would have been a blow out.

BTW: I thought both our offense and defense played just about the best game of the season during the first half while Favre was still in there. I thought/felt when he went out, the wind went out of their sails; they also weren't ready to face Brooks, but both sides of the ball did suffer a letdown.

I think they wanted to win this game and Brett never came out of the game even when the game was out of reach. I do think it is hard getting your butt kicked and freezing your tail off and thinking yeah we want to play in Green Bay in late Jan. I do think GB is built more on speed and frozen surface can negate team speed so GB going to Dallas I don't think it is their worst nightmare.

Good Lord that's some way out there spin.

ESPN is acting like we are the hottest team in the NFC.

It's not just ESPN. The cesspool called ES is full of them as well and believes skins will beat Cowboys at NFC championship.

 

[Maikeru-sama]

How can the Commanders play the Cowboys in the NFC Championship Round?

If the Cowboys and Skins win, they would have to meet in the Divisional Round, correct?

 

[BourbonBalz]

Right...because you know me personally of course?

I have probably been a fan a lot longer than a lot of these young high school kids that post on these fan sites.

Trust me I've seen a lot over the years and I'm smart enough to realize that Tony Romo isn't Troy Aikman or Roger Staubach, nor is Wade Phillips Jimmy Johnson or Tom Landry....we are a good, not great, team this year, but there have been a lot of 12/13 win teams that have made the playoffs only to get bounced in their first game. And if we don't pick up our play I feel we will be another one of those teams.

O.K., Nostra*******, just who in the NFC is playing better than we are right now? Green Bay just got killed; the Giants are, well, the Giants; Seattle lost to Carolina a little over a week ago; Tampa has no offense; Washington isn't very talented. Just who should we be afraid of playing AT HOME?

 

[BourbonBalz]

I will give you that ESPN saying its a "great" thing for the packers to lose is boarderline idiotic..actually it is idiotic.

Favre will always get his man parts tickled by ESPN, thats a fact. But don't act all pissed off when ESPN assumes the NFC Championship game will be in dallas. They say favre will want to redeem his 0-9 record in dallas. Ok, who says dallas will be in the NFC Champ. game? They are talking about GB and Dallas in terms of HFA because they are the top seeds, but its obvious ESPN is hopping on both of their nuts.

We've clearly been the best team in the NFC all year. We have the best record and homefield advantage. Shouldn't we be strongly considered to be the favored to at least play in the NFC title game? Isn't that just logic?

 

[BourbonBalz]

Commanders the hottest team in the NFC?

Might just be me but have the Commanders won 8 of 9 like we have? Have they won 13 of 15? Ergo, how can they then by the hottest team in the NFC?

BTW, it is parity not parody.

Glad I read you post, because I was just about to post the same thing. Funny how the Skins win 3 games and they're now the biggest and baddest in the NFC. Hell, we've had winning streaks this year of 5 and 7 games. Three games means squat.

So that they would not play in Green Bay twice, that is.

They are definitely playing in Green Bay in the divisional round, which is kind of being overlooked.

The "frozen tundra". Lambeau Field. Vince Lombardi. "Brett Favereveereverrrevvereevrrereeorreorer and HIS Green Bay Packuh's".

Nothing would please the NFL, Al Micheals, Boomer et. al. more than to have "Brett Farverevereverrererrerrrereor and "his" Green Bay Packuh's. win the SB.

I read a headline Monday saying "Packers hand Dallas home field advantage". Yeah right. Green Bay "handed" it to Dallas. As if Dallas "backed into" it. Not like they beat "Brett Favor, Fart, Fevree, (whatever)" head to head.

The spin is so thick you could cut it with a knife. Nothing would please me more to the pulverize Brett Ferferververerefererfveree and "His" Green Bay Packuh's in the NFC Champ. game....................

Why is it that Marino and Favor, er Fart, er Favree (whatever) have the gaudious numbers, and only one fluke Ring between them? Because if you could just remain upright at the QB position, you're going to accumulate meaningless stats. Just ask Fran Tarkington and Jim Kelly. But that won't stop Favroeoroereerooreevverorer from going down in legendary lore of not only Packuh history, but every spin doctor's NFL "greatest ever" list.
When he finally packs it in (thankfully), all we'll hear about is the "greatest Packer ever." Meantime, Phil Simms, Bob Griese, and Jim Plunkett have ONE (1) more SB ring than Brett Fart, er Favor, er Fever, er Faverorereverer (whatever). And, he has EXACTLY the same amount of rings as Trent Dilpher, Mark Rypien, that fool with the Bears in '85, and Doug Williams.

Great post. And funny too.
