GO PACKERS!!!!!!!

[Meano.Culpa]

Well, there’s not a lot to like in the “if we’ve got to lose, to whom would I not mind losing” sweepstakes.

• Lose the third time around to Pack or Vikings.
• Go 0-2 against Tampa Bay.
• Have the best season in decades ended by the Redskins. Again.
• Have the best season in years ended by the Eagles. Again. (At least not Rodney Peete this time, but ffs.)
• Lose to Stafford. Goff loses to McVay. LA’s post-Super Bowl rebuild laps Brad Holmes.

I don’t like anything on that menu; might as well just go to N’Awlins. So if I’ve got to cheer for the form of the destructor, imma go with the frickin’ Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.

Lions are the best team, but the best team doesn’t always win and there’s no shame in a favorable matchup. If the Packers can pull out a miracle at the Linc, I’m for it. I don’t see it as cheering for Green Bay, I see it as cheering for a matchup. [spongebob] How many times do we need to teach you this lesson, LaFleur? [/spongebob]

Consider a big Chiefs advantage. The class of the AFC this year is clearly Chiefs, Bills, Ravens and then it falls off a lot. Whatever happens, the Chiefs do not have to beat both Buffalo and Baltimore. In the other bracket, I mostly don’t care - though I’d love to see Tomlin put in Fields, play bad weather keep away, and win 9-7 just for the lulz. But in the NFC, the Lions are a fair bet to see Kevin O’Connell in two weeks and then the Eagles in the NFCC.

So, yeah, I’d like to see the Pack take out Philly. (Did anyone cry when Love smacked the Cowboys around in the wild card last year?) For what it’s worth, I’d like to see Daniels take the Bucs out of the picture. Every game the Lions aren’t in has a loser.

The only teams fans I need to deal with are Packer fans. Viking fans to a lesser extent. I don't have to listen to those other teams fans you mentioned. If Washington beats us I don't have to listen to their fans for a year. Packer/Viking fans I do. That's where the antipathy comes from.

I hear you. Nothing wrong with:

1. FTP.
2. See Rule #1.

Would much rather that we play the Commies

I’ll rather take my chances against the Commanders. They overachieved this year and as good as their QB has been he’s still a rookie and the team has struggled in most of their games, but that’s to be expected in a rebuilding year. I wouldn’t mind facing them.

I don’t like the idea of having to face a division rival three times especially during the playoffs but at the same thing I wouldn’t mind seeing the Eagles getting eliminated because they are the only NFC team that’s a threat to us I feel, but the good news is that there’s at least a high chance one of our division rivals will at least get eliminated this week.

I’m not in the mood to face Stafford again for a part 3, but the way things are going it may happen because there’s a good chance the Rams will expose the Vikings like we did and the Rams are healthy and well rested.

Harsh, but fair.

If only Greenbay didn't have to play the top 3 NFC teams, they'd be 16-1 and #1 seed.

Good riddance Packers. See you next year. Don't expect the results to be any different.

Sad end to the best team in the NFC.
