NFL '10/'11 Season Thread.

He just dissed the whole state of Wisconsin:1orglaugh

Anything for my fellow cheese producers. ;) Having been to several areas of cheeseville, I have to say that more or less it sorta sucks there. Millwaukee is meh, at best. Their state fair is meh as well. And what is Millwaukee most famous for? The infamous Jeffrey Dahmer. :1orglaugh

Honestly, Hudson is the best thing about WI, and that's only because of Beer Can Island. But that's only because that borders MN and it's only about 16 miles from the TC. Also, the Dells is alright, sort of.

Dahmer, the man who ate the entire black and asian population of Milwaukee. :1orglaugh

Seriously though, the best rivalry in all the NFL were the rivalry between the Steelers and Raiders back in the day. I will have to give the rivalry between the Packs/Vikes priority over Packs/Bears. I usually sense a bit more hatred between the purple people eaters and the cheese heads. The cheese heads do get to rub in the fact that they own several Lombardi trophies(named after a legendary cheese head coach mind you) while the Vikings own ZERO.

Yep. The Purple People Eaters were some serious choke sticks back in the day. Four runner-up finishes. Now I just call 'em the Purple Penis Eaters (or the 'Queens). :1orglaugh Although, the '98 team has to go down as one of the great teams in history - and of course perhaps the most exciting ever. Moss was just the sickest.
 
Again, that's subjective. The Pack/Bears have played more games than any other teams, so people can argue from the perspective of longevity if they want, but again if you're an outsider you can't really understand it fully. :2 cents:

I suppose. But it also could be simply your perspective toward the Pack since Mini doesn't have any other rival.

What do the Packers and their fans say?

The top rivalries in the NFL are;

Bears/Packers
Cowboys/Redskins
Packers/Mini
Steelers/Browns
Steelers/Raiders
Cowboys/Giants
Kansas City/Raiders
Cowboys/Eagles
Cowboys/Steelers
Lions/Wins

I would say the entire NFC North is all rivalries.

I can't really see the Steelers/Browns as a big rivelry anymore. I can't really see anything with the Lions as a big rivalry either. The Raiders/Broncos has been a pretty good rivalry except for the fact it's gone down since the Raiders have sucked for the better part of a decade. The Cowboys/49ers had one going back when they were pretty much the only great teams in the league.

You could probably add in Colts/Patriots in the mix now. It might very well be the biggest one right now or at least the biggest one over the last decade.
 
Okay, enough with the excuses... I could see if it were a 7-6 game, but the Bears put up 20 on GB. I've heard enough about the Detroit game and about how the Packers beat themselves, how bout we look at what the Bears actually did tonight:

INT
Forced fumble + recovery
One blocked FG
Punt return TD
TD reception

The problem is that all of those except the touchdown reception aren't easily repeatable events and aren't things you can rely on to win games. Relying on timely turnovers, blocked field goals, and opponent mistakes after they have long drives down the field on you multiple times isn't a good strategy.

People saying things like "seizing the opportunity" is just a different way of saying they capitalized on some luck.

I say this as a Bears fan. I still contend that the Bears aren't as good as their record. That doesn't mean they will somehow drastically fall off or miss the playoffs or anything like that. In a sample size of only 16 games random chance and the strength of schedule can play a big role and even a mediocre team can have a good record. I think that anybody believing the Bears are one of the better teams in the league is mistaken though.

Yeah, the Falcons should have never won that championship game. My favorite player on that team was John Randle. He was probably one of the best interior lineman of all time. The guy had 137.5 sacks! That is more than LT and Strahan. He was only 6'1 and weighed in around 280. Plus he went undrafted. That was just ridiculous considering the position he played and how he played. Most sacks go to defensive ends and linebackers. Interior lineman are usually the guys who draw double teams and take up space.

Anyway, I am not gonna mention a word about the egg that the Chargers dropped. Nor am I gonna comment on the piss poor performance that the Raiders put on against a really, really, REALLY shitty team.:facepalm:

I'm pretty sure Gary Anderson didn't miss a field goal that whole season until it was the money ball. :(

I still have my authentic Moss jersey from '99 sitting in my closet. My friend dealt Blackjack to him and Culpepper at the high stakes tables when they were still here. Moss a bit of an ass, hence why the Queens dumped him.
 
It could be worse. It's much better to be the Minnesota Vikings or the Buffalo Bills and lose four Superbowls and have a long stretch where the team is good than to be a team like the Detroit Lions and always suck so you never even make it to that point to be able to lose in the first place.

The Lions won the NFL Championship 4 times. They didn't always suck, but it's been a while. :1orglaugh

I'm sick and tired of all the NFL analysts saying that the Lions are going to be improved this season and that they aren't going to be such a walkover anymore. I say BS, what's improved? Four wins instead of two this year. The Lions still suck I don't care what any analyst says.:thefinger
 
Hmmm...name me a Colorado team that doesn't (or won't) suck....yep! Can't do it. They all do. Welcome to my world! A chick that likes sports but all her teams suck.

There is nothing left for you to do except have as much hot, sweaty sex with WINNERS as possible. It's the best way you can express your disappointment at having to suffer through such a huge cloud of LOSER. I happen to know where you can find a winner :stands in front of a mirror: :wave2:

The Lions got fucked out of a win, okay. Da Bears are the team that will come crashing back to earth hard. I do think the Lions are pretty decent...they still have plenty of games to turn it around :yesyes:

Lions/Wins

:rofl: Going to hit the rep button......
 
:rofl: Going to hit the rep button......

Someone finally got that?!??:surprise: I suppose I have to make these things even more cryptic.:rolleyes:

Good show t/r...fanks for the rep.

I wonder how many here are still trying to figure out what team "Wins" is short for.:facepalm:
