yeah there's no way anyone thought that the best QB in the league couldn't come back and possibly beat a team that handily lost to the bears

This is exactly the problem, though. This unbelievably annoying response when we try to discuss anything constructive or insightful about the state of affairs.

Probably an all timer for the regular season, at least for an individual game. 2013 is probably the worst overall because the division was handed to us on a silver platter. The last game of 2000 where Stoney Case lost a QB battle to Shane Matthews and Paul Edinger knocked us out on Christmas Eve (I think) is also up there.

i was at that stoney case game and everyone in my section was like "there's no loving way edinger hits this field goal" since it was something like 54 yards and he wasnt known for their leg strength, but i knew in my heart what was going to happen.

stoney case loving sucked, it was one of the few times it actually made sense for the fans to be clamoring for charlie batch

I think Kitna was better than Batch and Orlovsky. And even Joey was better than Detmer (who threw 7 picks against the Browns), dying Culpepper or McMahon. Orlovsky should be near the bottom.

Their fans are fun to get drunk with as long as you don't take everything they say about football super seriously. In fact I don't think there's another nfl fanbase I'd rather drink with. Vikings fans seem to have a lot of angry drunks.

Football is going to have to get rid of the pads and helmets eventually and go to rugby style tackling, people should be talking about that now and funding those semi-pro padless leagues to prove its viable.

But lol nah, the owners are making too much money right this split second, therefore they will always be making that much money forever. Until one day they aren't because people don't want to watch terrible quality football where everyone is brain damaged or injured.

This sport is frustrating sometimes, shall we say

Don't worry, Vince McMahon and Donald Trump's No Blacks Football League will fix everything, somehow.

We've had one or two down seasons in the last 25 years. You're in a thread with fans of 3 teams that have won a combined one Super Bowl between them, and have suffered far more horrific losses than any of our fluky poo poo like the Fail Mary, Seattle choke, SB against Denver, 4th and 26, the Jerry Rice non-fumble, or the 2011 postseason. For every one of those awful times they've had far worse. Yeah, we've missed out on some windows for greatness - we missed out on nabbing Randy Moss because TT was stupid about it, but in Alternate Universe, Favre sticks around until 2010 and we trade Rodgers for a bag of peanuts to some franchise that actually has a defense and goes on to steamroll everyone. We've let FA guys walk that become pro-bowlers. We have Dom Capers. poo poo happens.

If you're posting on a board with fans of other teams, and you're a fan of a team that has had constant success, complaining is going to be met by the Four Yorkshiremen-style takedowns. It happens to Pats fans, Steelers fans, etc. - it's a part of it. Part of all sports. Literally every division in the NFL has a team that hasn't won a Super Bowl. It's not like Wisconsinites can't do the same with other sports. gently caress, I do it all the time in baseball or basketball arguments. And we don't even have a pro hockey team. You know how easy and cathartic it is to go poo poo on a Cubs fan who's whining because they didn't win back-to-back world series, when the Brewers churn through their regular cycle of 'come close, fail, trade away talent, give you hope for next year with Young Development'? It's the same thing.

You know how awesome it would be to have people making GBS threads on Brewers posters complaining because our 5th consecutive WS title wasn't a sweep?

Let 'em taunt, let 'em give you poo poo - it means your team is actually doing something. It's when they get quiet that you know your team is in deep poo poo.
