Are you claiming Minnesota, in collusion with the referees, threw the game? For money? How do you know this? Have you notified NFL administration?
Of course not. I’m saying Favre threw gift interceptions to them. The Vikings beat themselves. The Packers had nothing to do with it.
Even with the mistakes, the bad calls and Favre’s broken ankle, we still came within a foot of winning that game (actually, the Packers got away with PI even on that play. Percy went out of bounds because he was shoved before the ball got to him). That shows what crap the Packers are. How many balls did Rodgers sail on those back shoulder plays?
The homecooking from the refs at Lambeau is not news to the NFL.
Not that reality and you have even a passing acquaintance, but the Packers were the most penalized team in the NFL last year, averaging 7.4 penalties a game and 66.6 yards per game. Last time I checked, half those games were at Lambeau field.
But, as I said, little things like facts never get in your way.
Of course, if the Vikings had won, the Packers wouldn’t suck ass, they’d just be a worthy opponent beaten by a better team.
Dallas!
No, they would still suck ass.
That INT by Nick Collins was a pretty amazing feat of athleticism and reading the offense. Dismissing that as a ‘gift’ is pretty pathetic.
It was just a bad throw by a guy with a busted ankle.
You see those 59 gift points Denver gave the Raiders yesterday?

Romo out?
If Jon Kitna is your QB in a pressure situation (like being 1-4 and desperately needing a win) it isn’t likely you will win the game. There will be a bad INT or a spontaneous fumble on a chicken-legged scramble, but it’ll happen. Bank it.
1-4; playing a very good team; trailing at the half; “The Franchise” injured. In a couple of hours, pretty sure Dallas will be in “play out the string” mode.
Romo broke his Collarbone. Probably effectively ending his and the Cowboys season. Fantasy players everywhere are furious.
Most talented team ever!!! going 1-5. Delicious.
That’ll put you out 8-10 weeks. As a rule, I want my D knocking QB’s out of the game, but not past that point. However, I’ll make an exception for Romo, simply for man-code violations. Women may look silly making the duck face, but guys should never, ever do it. Romo, the football gods looked down at your pucker and frowned.
I hope the Giants find a way to lose this game on principle.
Why? It wasn’t an illegal hit. Romo just landed badly.
Total yards: 377-78. Time Warner is doing their usual bang-up job and I have no tv, but apparently the Giants are dominating except for their usual 4 disastrous plays.
Does this performance place the Giants at the top of the NFC? And if Romo is out for the year, what’s the best record that the Cowpokes could hope for?
