That whole thing with the Dez non-catch is about the only thing I will ever unironically appreciate the Packers for. That was delicious.

I've never understood why many Packer fans have this pathological need to be loved by all. We are the Patriots1 of the midwest, lean into it

Because outside of football, Wisconsinites tend to be decent, fun people that are enjoyable to have around. There's a non-comprehension that fandom does something to that equation, and we inevitably take it as a personal affront.

this is pretty accurate. I've only started trashing the lions the last few years. back when the bears were making postseason runs I would do the paternalistic 'oh how nice the lions are getting better' but now i have nothing but bitterness towards them

1 combined win for the lions, vikings and bears is loving horrible, jesus christ . let's see:

AFC East (3 title teams)
New England Patriots - 5-4
Buffalo Bills 0-4 lol
Miami Dolphins 2-3 (including undefeated season)
New York Jets 1-0
North (2 title teams)
Pittsburgh Steelers 6-2
Baltimore Ravens 2-0
Cincinnati Bengals 0-2
Cleveland Browns 0-0
South (1 title teams)
Jacksonville Jaguars 0-0
Tennessee Titans 0-1
Houston Texans 0-0
Indianapolis Colts 2-2
West (3 title teams)
Kansas City Chiefs 1-1
Los Angeles Chargers 0-1
Oakland Raiders 3-2
Denver Broncos 3-5
NFC East (3 title teams)
Philadelphia Eagles 0-2
Dallas Cowboys 5-3
Washington Redskins 3-2
New York Giants 4-1
North (2 title teams)
Minnesota Vikings 0-4 lol
Detroit Lions 0-0
Green Bay Packers 4-1
Chicago Bears 1-1
South (2 title teams)
Carolina Panthers 0-2
New Orleans Saints 1-0
Atlanta Falcons 0-2 worst blown lead ever
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1-0
West (3 title teams)
Los Angeles Rams 1-1
Seattle Seahawks 1-2
Arizona Cardinals 0-1
San Francisco 49ers 5-1

pretty drat even. jets/chiefs wins were so long ago as to pretty much not count. AFC south has expansion teams so it's not really a fair comparison. Other than them - the NFC north has the most dominance by one team - 80% of SB wins in the division are by the packers.

What’s worse is that those were all back in the 70’s, they’ve just been mediocre recently, with two excruciating playoff losses to keep them out of the SB in the few years that they likely would have won it all.

Meh,

For every fan that tells me to jump on the packers bandwagon and join the winners circle, there are 3 more that will repeatedly shout "gently caress the bears/vikings" anytime *opposing team* does anything.

Might be skewed by the fact that I live in a tourist town 10 miles north of the Illinois border though.

Whenever me and my friends lament the Vikings' many failures we always find solace in the fact that at least we aren't the Bills. It's close though. We're not jumping through flaming tables. Yet.

I played amateur American football in the UK and seriously its more entertaining to watch than the XFL was. At least we did cool stuff like wishbone and single wing.

Ameer's become something of a scapegoat for the Lions' running woes, but it's not really his fault-the bigger issue is arguably that the line absolutely sucks poo poo at run blocking, which means that there's very few opportunities for Abdullah to actually make runs before getting dogpiled at the LoS.

http://www.espn.com/blog/green-bay-packers/post/_/id/42913/mike-mccarthys-evaluation-of-packers-patterns-of-negativity-starts-now

quote:

"We have to be honest about the patterns of negativity and positivity," McCarthy said. “What comes from that, how do you learn from that, how do you improve? To win championships, you have to go through adverse moments. We’ve had plenty this year. Not hitting our goal, not playing to the standard of the Green Bay Packers is definitely an adverse situation we need to learn from.”

Although McCarthy didn't mention names or departments, his words screamed two things: Dom Capers and injuries.

quote:

Once again, the Packers defense failed to hold up its end. In Capers’ first two years as defensive coordinator, the Packers ranked second and fifth in the NFL in total yards allowed. Since then, they have not cracked the top 10 and finished 22nd or worse in three of the last six years. At No. 26 heading into Saturday's penultimate game of the season against Minnesota, they’re headed for another season in the bottom third of the NFL defensive rankings.

Capers, 67, addressed his future this week in a roundabout way, saying he would coach “as long as I enjoy it” and then added that, “I enjoy the competitiveness of it and the relationships with the players.

"If I ever feel like I can’t come in and give as much as I’ve got and do the kind of job that you want to do, then I won’t do it anymore," Capers said.

quote:

“I’m the coach, so I’m always looking at how to improve, whether it’s 2010, 2015 and no different this year,” McCarthy said. “I think it’s important, especially these next two weeks. Improvement comes through evaluation, application and the hardest part is continuation. I think the eight years of making [the playoffs] is a reflection of that. This is a dip below the standard line, and everybody that has a part of it needs to be accountable and responsible, and that’s how we will grow moving forward.”

Typically, that’s a statement McCarthy would make during his season wrap-up news conference, and then he would begin his evaluation of the coaching staff and all other aspects of the operation.

“Unfortunately, I can do that right now,” McCarthy said. “That’s the unfortunate part of where we are as a team. Listening is probably the most important part of communication. Watching is another very important nonverbal information that you can gather in these next two weeks. I think you have to make sure you look at everything and be direct and honest and keep the emotion out of it. I think having two weeks to think about it will take the emotion out of it. We have to get better through the adversity that we’ve been through this year.”
