That's my team Cool

Before this year they used to be able to back it up with their play on the field... And anyways the only trashtalking they've been doing is between coaches and players. Laughing

Lloyd's always been an outstanding WR, he just lacked maturity

Live 45 ish minutes away from Lambeau field Smile

So I have to support them.

Even though I can only get around halfway through an NFL game before I feel like :facepalm:

why did I start watching this?

Except for the Superbowl, but only if the Packers are in it.

I don't see anyone stopping the Packers right now

and Brandon Lloyd got traded to the Rams

As someone who follows the Rams I really don't know why they got Loyd. They should have just drafted someone like Blackmon from Oklahoma State or get an A J Jenkins late in the draft. Lloyd will never be a top WR in the league just like as I also follow the Texans I don't get why they traded for Mason seems like a waste of time to me.

Yeah, I understand the Texans move, because Andre Johnson is hurt so they needed another receiver especially competing for the playoffs, but the Rams trading for Lloyd? I don't get that, and they released Mike Sims-Walker too. I know he's been terrible for them but I liked him in Jacksonville, I hope the Jets give him a look.

I'm reading that the Raiders are about to acquire Carson Palmer from the Bengals, for TWO first round picks. WTF, is Al Davis still making moves from the grave? Two first rounders for Carson Palmer in 2011? Smh.

by DRK Tue Oct 18, 2011 5:43 pm

Well unfortunately being a Texan fan since pretty much the beginning I have been used to them disappointing me, I think losing to the Raiders basically ended the idea of making the playoffs, especially when every team in their division lost that week and Indy and Jacksonville both lost last Sunday and we lost to the Ravens, could have gotten a decent lead in that division but we screwed it up. Plus Mario being out for the season is going to hurt us. But I did hear Andre was going to be back sooner than expected so maybe he will give us a desperately needed spark

I saw they were going after him but man 2 first round picks is insane! Especially since this is the same Carson Palmer who threw 20 interceptions last year, your right that was Al Davis making the decision from the grave

As a Pats fan, it's really hard not to be biased but I think the '07 Pats were better than the current Packers

It's close, and offensively the Pats were better, but on defense I think the Packers are clearly better.

by MJ Sat Oct 22, 2011 8:46 am

We've never had a "wow" defense which makes me sad. Actually we do have a "wow" defense right now, but not in a good way.

by dmize Sun Oct 23, 2011 1:51 am

Yeah, Belicheck usually has a "bend but don't break" defense, and that's all you need when Tom Brady is QB.

by dmize Sun Oct 23, 2011 7:13 pm

NFL is at Wembley today, Bucs and Bears.

Glazers Bucs are already down, he's just having a bad day Laughing

by dmize Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:04 pm

Jets came back and won against the Chargers, they were down 14-3 and 21-10, then scored 17 unanswered points. Burress had 3 TD's, good win.

by MJ Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:09 pm

It's like he never shot himself. Or was in prison and out of shape for a year (maybe two?)

by dmize Sun Oct 23, 2011 10:52 pm

Yeah he hadn't played football for 2 years before this season, lol. He looked like he was finished a few games ago but he looked a lot better today.

by MJ Mon Oct 24, 2011 4:57 am

Well he did promise he was gonna "look like" he "was 25" Razz

by dmize Tue Oct 25, 2011 5:42 am

That MNF game was just painful to watch... SMH. I don't know who's worse Sanchez or Flacco

by MJ Tue Oct 25, 2011 10:02 am

lol, I've always found both to be a bit mediocre. but Flacco just hides it a little better. What a Face

by dmize Tue Oct 25, 2011 1:11 pm

I knock on Sanchez a lot, but I think I would take him over Flacco(at least this year). 12TDs(15 total), 6 Ints compared to Flacco: 7 TDs, 4 Ints. hmm

by MJ Tue Oct 25, 2011 2:12 pm

Yeah, there's something inconsistent about Flacco that drives me nuts though. I love New England but Baltimore is great footballing city and I would like to see them have that kind of QB. Might sound weird I know.

by Amar Tue Oct 25, 2011 2:51 pm

Something serious needs to be done about this offence.

The defence can't keep holding it down every year.

by Sir Psycho Tue Oct 25, 2011 3:08 pm

Sanchez is a Trojan, so he's forever good in my mind.

BTW: Peyton Manning for MVP... just look at the Colts now..lol (I know they have other injuries though).

by dmize Tue Oct 25, 2011 5:07 pm

Baltimore's defense was beastly last night though, as bad as their offense was they still could have won on that last drive.

And yeah the Colts without Manning = pathetic. But still I don't know how their defense gave up 60+ points, lolol.

by Guest Tue Oct 25, 2011 6:38 pm

It's because Manning isn't out there to keep the defense off the field.

P.S. I am a Colts fan :facepalm:

Yeah, that's part of it, but their defense needs work especially their secondary. The Colts should start Dan Orlovsky(UConn alum), he's not great, but he's certainly better than Painter. If you watched the last drive he went like 4-6 and actually moved the ball down the field for the Colts. Also, Donald Brown needs more carries. IMO he's better than Carter(he also went to UConn so maybe I'm biased).

THC, what do you think of Andrew Luck? Do you think the Colts should draft him and have him sit a few years behind Manning?
