meh.

I seen Brees was complaining about the refs and now we got screwed, so this Sunday I say both teams boycott the game and go out there like they are going to play. Line up for the kickoff and then both teams walk to midfield shake hands and walk off the field.

That'd be pretty interesting.
I wouldn't mind seeing it happen.
I wonder how the NFL would handle that?

They'd make a lot of money by fining and/or suspending all the players and coaches for that game...or should I say non-game. I wouldn't mind seeing that though. Now if all the team or at least the majority would do that it would really be interesting.

I was just telling the guys at work the Packer should kick off the ball, let it go 10+ yards and let the clock run out.
Then play the 2nd quarter. And to open the 3rd quarter, do the same thing as the first. Then play the 4th quarter.

This will piss off the NFL big time because of their commercial sponsor time being lost.

I'll be there watching this one Sunday. Wow. I'm still in shock from Monday. Wow. Thinking of boycotting, and burning my tickets... and all of my NFL shit. I want to buy a big NFL shield, take it to the tailgate, drop it on the pavement and charge people $5 each to piss on it, then donate that to a charity.

I've never been more pissed off at this league and Roger Goodell. Unbelievable.

I'm glad to see this post up.
Everybody and their mother (including me and mine) are pissed about what happened but there is no way in hell the end result will change.
This will still be a loss no matter how much we bitch and moan.
It would behoove the team to move on from this in order to prepare for the Saints, who are 0-3 and will be desperate for a win.
On the flip side I would think a savvy coaching staff would be able to focus on preparation while still tapping into the passion/anger/resentment felt by the players in order to inspire them to play with intensity.


After seeing the way the team played in the Seattle game I feel a lot better about the Saints game.
The team as a whole played very well.
In my opinion only poor playcalling in the 1rst half by McCarthy and poor decision making by Rodgers (hanging onto the ball way too long and taking sacks) were what kept Seattle in the game.
Instead of being an entire unit (defense, defensive line, offensive line, etc...), the main problems came from two individuals.
This leads me to believe that the problems will be more easily rectified in time for the Saints game.
I'm thinking that McCarthy and Rodgers will both have a much better game this time around.

Well, hope you guys have fun watching the game. I won't be watching. I won't be buying, and the sponsors of the league, nope not buying anything from them either.

I'm not worried about the Saints game anymore - this season has an asterix already due to the officiating problems.

I'm interested in how the officials handle Lambeau's crowd. It's usually a family friendly environment at a Packer game. Many Chicago fans even agree. However, I expect a hostile crowd. Probably the worst crowd since Brett Favre returned in '09, maybe even worse. I wonder if the officials curry favor with the Packers and let things slide. I wouldn't be comfortable about this if I was a Saint fan, but they have problems of their own.

As for the game itself, well you have to run the ball. The Saints are terrible at stopping the run and the Packers are better on third and medium than third and long or third and short. On first and 10, line up in a power I set and pound the ball with Benson. I hope he and Randall Cobb combine for 20-25 touches. I think the play action passing begins to take center stage. I expect Jordy Nelson to have a big game.
