Obnoxious Football Trash Talk Thread

Green Bay's performance has gone downhill since week one. They lost to KC who is last in their division. Maybe 2 weeks off will put rodgers back in the swing of things and have that team playing better. However, offense wins games, defense wins championships. Saints have a solid offense and a beastly defense. Assuming they both play each other. Green Bay is the team everyone it's jumping on the bandwagon for, I'm not so sure they'll be that great come play off time

 

We interrupt your obnoxious trash talking for a moment to bring you a true story about Aaron Rodgers. I got it in an email, and being the cynical type, didn't believe it at first. but I looked it up, and sure enough, it is in a blog by Jen Lada of Fox 6 News in Milwaukee:

Save me A Spot

We now return you to your regularly scheduled trash-talking.....carry on.

 

everyone seems to be discounting san fran but they are the only team in the nfc with a formidable defense they very well could be a spoiler.

 

Yes they could. But does Alex answer the call?

 

Wow... That was SUPER gay. (bernie's epic novel about sick kids).


Daaaaaamn.

 

I have been following this thread but have been avoiding stepping in on what looks on its face like "the Green Bay Packers Obnoxious Football Trash Talk Thread" (and I have to say I deeply admire the fact that there are so many homebrewers in Packers country; LHBS must be as common as Starbucks for the rest of us ).

I personally think the dome/non-dome thing is blown out of proportion; people looking to denigrate every record not set by their team. I have seen posts/blogs in other places where people crunched the numbers to make the comparison, not just with Drew Brees, and there just isn't anything in it beyond the difference between playing at home or away. Of course playing in a blizzard can't help but affect everyone. The thing about the Saints offense that is going to make them especially hard to slow down is that they are very well balanced. People obviously lose track of their running game among all of the passing records but they are ranked 6th in running offense (and with that, set the record for total combined yards in a season). That's going to give them an edge in weather conditions that cause the throwing game to suffer (and it will affect both teams). And on the defensive end they have given up lots of yards, but are ranked 13th in points allowed. Not horribly impressive but still quite a bit better than Green Bay or New England. Still, as a life-long Saints fan, I have seen the Saints beat themselves entirely too often for comfort.

 

Ha... You are right about one thing, it is a particular team's obnoxious thread, they even start with a P. It's not the Packers though.

 

I agree on the elements not playing as much of a role as it's played up. It can be a small piece of it but its still much more about home vs. away. I just wanted to post that cool pic.

Giants and Atlanta in (I'm too lazy to look it up) playoff years proved that false in GB. And I think both were really cold games. But if I recall, those were also those epic Favre being the "gun slinger" to the DB's as well. Should be a great playoff this year.

 

Pffft. Please. That's all you guys talk about. Packers.. Packers.. Packers.. Aaron Rodgers heals the sick amd walks on water... Blah blah blah.

It's sickening

 

this just in:

"Aaron Rodgers holds Q&A at MACC fund event, Cape Brewing gives jealous rant on HBT"

 

This is why the MVP debate should be Rodgers/Brady, not Rodgers/Brees.

Brees is a great quarterback, no doubt, but look at the team around him. I know that there are deep, deep flaws embedded in both New England and Green Bay. Neither can play D worth a ****, so they NEED to rely on their offense (specifically QB play) week after week after week. Neither is a great running team, New England's marginally better but it's not consistent.

Rodgers has brought a team of offensive weapons and a horrible defense to a 15-1 record.

Brady has brought a team of mostly scrappy offensive players (plus Gronk), and an equally horrible D, to a 13-3 record (and eight straight wins).

Brees; he set some passing records (barely ahead of the other two), but he's got such a better team around him. His degree of difficulty wasn't nearly as high.

 

Ugh, don't remind me.

Fire AJ!!!! Oh... too late. :-(

 

Dunnright, good to see you! Thought you might have shot yourself when they brought back Norv.

 

This...

Yet to be seen, but Jim Harbaugh seems to have a talent for talking to him and calming him down and getting him to produce.

My hopes are up.

 

It was just posted to show that not all athletes on WI teams are 'roid- inflated asshats. And that Rodgers has more class than most.

 

Actually I will be surprised to see Rodgers get the MVP. I would think that voters would point to the game that Flynn had and think that GB could have done just as well or almost as well without Rodgers. The MVP is supposed to be about a players relative value to his team, and Flynn demonstrated that GB might have been able to weather the storm had Rodgers gotten hurt. That says more about the team rather than the player.

 

I actually think that says a lot about Rodgers, that from all accounts he's helped Flynn get better as a QB (unlike the previous ass-clown).

From what you can gather, Brady's been pretty supportive/helpful to Brian Hoyer, his backup (who's also a damn good QB).

Peyton Manning, I think you've got to put it down as a flaw that he's never really been a guy who's really worked hard to get the guy behind him better. I think that's one of the reasons that Indy sucked so horribly this year; Painter's a terrible QB, but he wasn't ready to QB (so they panicked and went to Kerry Collins). That falls on the coaching staff, and but I think also on the starting guy. Part of the players job on the team is to help out his understudy.

So, for me, Flynn's performance makes the argument for Rodgers as MVP stronger, not weaker.

 

brady's a cheater.

also they cheated their way into the easiest schedule in the history of the NFL. 8 straight wins against high school teams.

 

Leave the grown-ups alone, we're having a conversation. Why don't you go play with the other children in the backyard?

 

I agree 100%. People tend to see the MVP award as a "best player" award (it doesn't help that the press has elevated it to the top for newsworthiness). I like to think that the Saints wouldn't quite fall apart to the degree that Indianapolis has should Brees get injured. I would give it to Rodgers or Brady, although Flynn's success with the GB 2nd stringers does lessen the view of how important Rodgers is to the success of the team (although it is now being reported that Rodgers was calling in the plays for Flynn from the sideline, at least while they were in their hurry-up offense).

 

yeah, your wonderful insights into the NFL have proven to be very useful and valid in the past.

 

does the sideline have just an open mic to the QB at all times?

 

No.

 

Yes he was- sort of. He was on the mike relaying what he saw from the defense, but Flynn called the plays. That was done more to keep Rodgers mentally in the game than to help out Flynn. McCarthy wanted to keep Rodgers as sharp as he could without actually playing him.

 

Makes sense. I'm sure it did help Flynn's development. Getting a chance to compare what he was seeing against what Rodgers was seeing must have been a great experience.

 

Haven't had much to trash talk about this season.

And I was actually hoping they would bring Norv back, at least for one more chance. He does play a good game plan and usually adjusts well when needed. His time management sucks, but they players LOVE him. I would have thought different if if had lost the locker room.

But I have to say, I was surprised they brought him back. I was really hoping that the GM would be gone, but then the HC would have to go then too.

Oh well, nothing more to say about my team.

GO [insert whatever team is playing against the cheatriots] !!!!!

 

Patriots won't be playing this weekend. They are a good enough team to get a bye, so SUCK IT!

 

My chant was merely to be addressed to any and all upcoming games that your rule-bending, high school schedule playing "team" will have sneaked into. Including, but not limited to the one playoff game that they will lose this year and into the future, unless they are playing the raiders.

 

I figured that was what you meant, but you can still SUCK IT!

 

Rodgers will be MVP and anyone who thinks differently is stupid . A lot of what bird stated is repeated here:

Matt Flynn Doing Aaron Rodgers a Favor? Why His Success Shows Rodgers Is the MVP | Bleacher Report

Guy is still a homer but all valid commentary.

Another reason I suspect is some of those that vote will want to further poke at Favre for being such an arse and making them constantly talk about his drama for 5 years. I know I would.

 

Rodgers should be the MVP, but nothing from The Bleacher Report is valid commentary.

 

As a Niner fan the Saints most scare me so GO DETROIT!!!

 

Ah-ha!!! So you admit that most of the Packers ARE.... In your words, "'roid inflated asshats". Its about time a Packer fan finally admitted the truth!!

 

That's a foregone conclusion. It's added to the cheese that does not get exported outside the state. Ever see the size of the WI Badger offensive line?

 

Not quite. I admitted that there is one Packer and one Brewer that have been accused. That hardly constitutes "most". And I am still waiting for the final verdict in both cases.

 

I dunno Bernie... " Not ALL". Rodgers has more class "than MOST"

Kinda sounds damning

 

Most ATHLETES, Jagoff. Especially the ones from NE. You should go into politics. You put your spin on everything.

 

eh, after his team was caught and convicted of cheating, he's still in the "blame" stage of grief. people dumb enough to live in boston are, well...pretty dumb. and they don't move thru the stages that easily.

it's ok cape, let it out. we're here for you.

 

Rodgers will win the MVP, because it's a popularity contest. To say Brees has it "easy" because of the team around him is foolish. The weapons for the top 3 are very similar.
If the Pack lost Rogers, Flynn could step right in and do well. Who is Brees' backup? They would be in way deeper doo doo if he went down.

He is hands down the most important player to his team.

you are basing that on what facts again?
