It’s turning into a long…frustrating year for us Packer fans. Any other doper-Packer-fans out there to help me? …help me drown my sorrows…help yourself to a pint of my oatmeal stout…curse the evil Bears…shake your fist at Randy Moss…cry at Favre’s interceptions and the offensive lines inept blocking…throw your foam cheeshead at the dog…
I need to be held and hugged 
Actually, I am a Lions fan and the Lions beat the Packers last week as Farve coughed up the ball 5 times. Yeah Lions.
:: runs away ducking the chees thrown at him ::
fucking ingrate…real football teams play on grass
I’ll take a pass on the holding and hugging, but I’ll cry in my beer with you.
I’ll also save these here bar stools for when Sledman and Gazoo show up.
I’ll help you chase down xizor and beat him with a log of Cher-Make sausage, though.
On second thought, let’s not be too hard on xizor. After all, it’s only six weeks into the season so the Lions are still in their annual first half “hope-building” pattern. Two or three weeks from now they will switch to the traditional second half “sliding off a cliff into oblivion” pattern.
Problem is, the Packers are already at the bottom of that cliff. I actually had pretty high hopes for them this year, but apparently I was deceived. Too many free agent departures (the price you pay for winning the Superbowl – just ask Dallas), too many injuries (could we lose any MORE defensive backs and wide receivers?), and too many rookies on the offensive line (Oh, look! Favre has Freeman wide open! He’s about to throw! Ewwww. Someone scrape him off the turf, please. Where did the ball go?).
My pre-season prediction was that they would be 9-7 this year. That’s looking like a pipe dream. They better get it in gear or they will be fighting the Bears for the first round pick.
It’d be nice if Freeman learned how to fight his way through the line of scrimmage chuck…if he is open, he has amazing hands…IF he is open though…
I’m a Vikings fan. Ha ha.
And don’t think you can get me down. All Vikings fans have already set themselves up for disappointment. There’s nothing you can do. Bwahaha.
…dropping trou…bending over…pucker up dillweed!
:Pulls up bar stool so thoughtfully left open by Bottle of Smoke:
Yep, it’s getting pretty bad. And I don’t think this week will be any better. It looks like this season is finished for all intents and purposes. So, what area of weakness should be addressed with the nice high pick in the draft?
Oh well, I can always root for my other team, the Dolphins. But they’re bound to fall apart sooner or later too.
At least we can all make fun of the Vikings’ fans as they get all built up again only to choke when it really matters.
The Cowboys took this one a bit too literally, I think…
Yer pal,

:Sledman stumbles in with a 1.75 of Jaegermeister:
Alright…. Where’s the oatmeal stout?
:Passes 1.75 to Bottle of Smoke:
If we can reconcile ourselves with anything it’s that Tom Braatz will have nothing to do with this Packer Draft. Is it just me or how the hell did he become the guy for the AP to quote about player evaluations prior to the NFL draft once he went to Miami. Doesn’t his track record in Green Bay basically disqualify him.
That whole drafting offensive lineman in the first round thing is what is killing us now at the skill positions. I’m casting a vote for a major rebuilding effort. Fire sale in the offseason…any player but Favre. Which, by the way, is exactly the offer we should have made Denver for O. Gary last offseason. I’ve taken to re-reading ‘Instant Replay” to take away some of the pain.
Hey this stuffs pretty good beagledave… Can I have another?
Leave the Lions fans alone their still pissed about all the money we sent to the “Keep Wayne Fontes Fund”.
The Viking fans… they know better…we will still probably split with the Vikes anyway. Always seems to happen that way no matter how good or how bad one of us is.
The hip hop, the boogie, take a knee, take a knee, 1, 2, 3. Hallo… Drummin’ Denny Green Here. Large and in Charge!!
(The Queens fans in the Twinkie Cities should recognize that)
The Bears…THEY STILL SUCK!
The Bucs and Dungy worry me though…
Can I have another one beagledave? Where’s that 1.75???
You guys want to play some cards?
Gazoo and I are partners for Euchre.
Ohh and beagledave we don’t want Freeman too open if you know what I mean…
Packers fan here: all men who need a hug may line up here…
::rushes in (late, of course) to defend Aglarond::
Gazoo:
Oh, no, we learned our lesson 2 years ago. No excitement here, nosirreebob. We’re going to pull our heads into our shells and put on that sterotypical Minnesota stoicism this season.
Oh, and sledman?
Please :rolleyes: You know we’re going to stomp Packer ass all over the place - BOTH games 
p.s. “O’ Mighty Goddess of the Mississippi”? Thanks!! That had a nice ring to it 
Mind if I borrow it for a while?
Judging by the title, I couldn’t tell if the thread was about cheeseheads who suffer, or people who suffer the presence of cheeseheads.
I’m still wondering about Sylvester the Cat and “thufferin’ thuccotash.”
I have no sympathy for the Packers; for many years the low-point of the season has been when those hundreds of fat, pasty, mustachioed, holier-than-thou Packer fans with their beyond-retarded rubber cheese hats came to town … Sucks for you, Packer fans. Favre is a has-been and the Packers aren’t even good enough to be an average team. Have fun in the basement of the NFC Central for the next 5 or 6 seasons.
PS: That inbred village of yours doesn’t even belong in the ranks of NFL cities.
First off, thanks for the hug, MaryAnnQ!!!
[soapbox]
Now, RTA, how can you possibly fault a group of fans that travel to any venue they possibly can to see their team? No matter if the Packers are doing well or if they suck it’s damn near impossible to get tickets to home games. For a team that has been at the pinnacle of greatness and to the depths of Randy Wright, you have to give them this - the fans stick by them.
Hell, other teams should be happy they get the chance to play the Packers!! Case in point - Packers at Arizona - over 70,000 tickets sold. Any other team at Arizona - about 35,000 tickets sold!
As to your assinine statement that Green Bay doesn’t belong among NFL cities, you better get used to it. As far as locations go we’re the safest in the league - community owned don’t you know.
And, unfortunately, you didn’t mention the team you follow in order to give me a chance to utterly desecrate them. I can respect good natured ribbing from rival fans, in my opinion it adds to the enjoyment of the game. Personal attacks, unfounded statements, and uniformed opinions, however, I can do without. [/soapbox]
MaryAnnQ - Now that’s the kind of hugs we need.
sandyr - Of course you can use that line.
Now then…
RTA…
What Gazoo said!!!
I’d love to know where your team loyalty lies or if you have one.
that would be the Assboink Trolls I believe…
Thanks for the hug Mary Q…still got half a keg of Oatmeal Stout here if anyone else needs a hit…
Well, duh. Packer Fans are happy to travel anywhere to watch their team. I mean, look where they’re coming from after all.
Oh, okay:
As a somewhat interested outside observer, the one thing I’m most surprised about regarding the Packers is Farv’s lack of success. He looks lost out there. In the past, he’d scramble away from the blitz, roll right, and pull a 50-yeard pass out of his ass.
Now he takes the snap, drops back, goes “oof,” gets up, and then does it all over again.
I suppose having all his running backs, wide receivers and tight end in traction, physical therapy or jail doesn’t help.
PS- I have both Farv and Dorothy Levens in my fantasy league. And guess what, my other QB was Vinne T. (Fuck me. I’m screwed.) I’m cutting Dorothy this weekend and picking up any other QB I can find.
Yeah, Favre won’t be getting any MVP honors this year, that’s for sure. Some of the blame definitely falls in his lap, but certainly not all of it.
You touched on one of the other factors - injuries. His weapons are missing. Dorsey hasn’t really been productive/healthy for almost two years now. His receiver corps is banged up (Bradford coming back will help there), and he’s got a tight end that can make the spectacular play but drops the easy ones (Ty Davis) and rookie (Bubba Franks).
The biggest problem, IMO, is the offensive line though. A lot of young, inexperienced guys there that just aren’t doing the job. When you add in that the running game isn’t working well, you can see why Favre is spending a lot of time on his ass.
