I can only assume we did what we did because the Cowboys had a higher waiver pick than us and were expected to pick up Sanchez which ultimately happened. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Agreed on his health which is why I have said all along between Sitton/Lang/Bahk/Tretter he stood the most likely chance of a different jersey after this year. I personally never saw us releasing him...eat a serious comp possible type pick if he walks in offseason but hey can't say I don't like the move. We have some serious re-sign/extends coming this season most likely and I think TT and company while Bahk and Lang are both still here wanted to test out the waters at G. Who knows we may even see a little Bulaga/Bahk there as a possible swing plan with Spriggs maybe getting some Tackle work but we shall see.
Sitton missed very few games in his time with the Packers, he has been very limited in practice over the last two years.
Missed few yes, but the man has had some serious back issues he's played through for years now...LOVE the man, and thank him for everything he did for GB but I always felt he was the odd of the 4 out for sure along the OL that had/have expiring contracts. I still think Bahk may be done as well as he'll expect some HUGE money and GB is most likely hoping they see enough from Spriggs or shoot even Murphy to justify rolling the dice and letting Bahk go get that always present BIG LT money elsewhere.
MM may not be a top level head coach but he is a heck of a good play caller. He does manage that part of the game pretty well.
With Teddy's injury I see a shift and can't place them at 9 wins. I think the shock is Lions take 2nd place at 9-7 with a tie breaker over the vikings who claw to 9-7.
Deadspin released a series of articles for each team names "Why your team sucks" 2016 Green Bay Packers God, it’s so beautiful. It’s almost as good as Brandon Bostick dropping the onside kick. Remember when he did that? And you blew the NFC title because of it? That was really cool and fun. Anyway, as a Vikings fan who just heard that Teddy Bridgewater died in practice today, the only time I am happy is when the Packers blow yet another season of having Aaron Rodgers at QB. Luckily for me, the Packers have become EXPERTS at this. This is team that completed three Hail Marys and was blessed with God knows how many phantom face mask calls going in their favor last season, all because God just loves his little dip**** Ned Flanders NFL franchise. And yet they STILL couldn’t get to the Super Bowl. It’s wonderful, isn’t it? I think so. Your coach: BEAV! Anyway, the Packers needed two miracle throws at the end that divisional game to get within one point of the Cardinals. And did Mike McCarthy—riding a once-in-a-lifetime streak of miracles—go for two to win the game? NOPE. No, he sure didn’t. Like a ****ing pud, he meekly kicked the PAT, and then Arizona won the game within half a second of overtime. This is life under Beav. He will never be aggressive. He will never take risks that aren’t even statistically risky. He’ll just sleepwalk his way to a wasted playoff spot season after season. He fired himself as playcaller before last season and then, inevitably, rehired himself. Because if anyone is gonna drive this sorryass team into a ditch, it’s gonna be HIM. I love him. I want to adopt him and feed him table food. And McCarthy must really be feeling his oats because he took a moment this offseason to reportedly vent his frustration at GM Ted Thompson, whose allergy to free agency is so severe that he makes the Steelers look like the ****ing Boston Red Sox. Did Thompson listen to McCarthy and make an aggressive attempt to improve this roster? BAHAHAHAHA GOD NO. No, the Packers napped all offseason long. No one listens to Beav, even when he’s right. Your quarterback: Aaron Rodgers, who will retire with just one Super Bowl ring, and you can tell it’s already killing him. This is a man who reacts to questions about his height like Donald Trump discussing hand size, so he’s very sensitive when it comes to certain topics. Here we have one of the greatest players of all time (even I have to admit it), and he’s gonna leave the game with the Atlanta Braves’ resume. I bet he keeps a little McCarthy doll under his bed and does a Cartman voice for it while slamming it against the wall. Once again, the Packers’ season depends on their ability to keep Rodgers clean, even as McCarthy steadfastly refuses to get the ball into the hands of Eddie “Is He Fat?” Lacy or Randall Cobb. I think Rodgers is so good that McCarthy can’t help but jack up the degree of difficulty, to see if his QB can win games with one hand tied behind his back and both ankles broken. “Oh wow, he did it. How about that?” Also, Rodgers’ estranged brother “won” The Bachelorette this offseason. I asked my colleagues at Jezebel who watched that show to explain Jordan Rodgers to me. Here is what they said: “Jordan Rodgers’ face is so narrow it looks like his head got caught in a vice. He also has freakishly short legs.” “His hair is too peppy and I don’t trust it.” “His face is bad.” “He’s also been accused (with proof) of cheating multiple times, and yet he and his family have somehow managed to spin Aaron as the bad guy.” Well then, I guess I can see how Aaron Rodgers can tolerate the Packers organization. He’s inherently used to being surrounded by terrible people. What’s new that sucks: Oh please. This is Green Bay. Nothing changes here. JUST THE WAY PETER KING LIKES IT! Nothing warms my cold, black, big-city heart like a tweet like this. It’s one of those small traces of evidence that helps confirm what I always suspect: That a dewey-eyed, throwback of a place like Green Bay is just a disgusting fraud, a haven for sheltered racism and passive aggressive hostility all cloaked in supposed old-school values. DURRRRR WE DON’T LIKE NO FANCY TECHNOLOGY ROUND THESE PARTS DURRRRR… Green Bay is just American Beauty but with fat people. Remember Cam Newton tearing down that Packers banner? Remember how the ****head Packers fan reacted to it? I do. The fan, an army vet who is a Wisconsin native, said it ruined his day. “I was just shocked, shocked,” when Newton grabbed the banner out of Mike Dobs’s and his family’s hands, Dobs said on Sunday evening. “It went from a fun event to I was disgusted,” he said. Oh my God, these ****ing cheese-drinking losers. This didn’t even happen in his team’s stadium. If that guy could have had Cam executed, he would have. **** your stupid Cheesehead sign. Also, B.J. Raji took a year off from football. Because Green Bay sucks. What has always sucked: Clay Matthews! Jordy Nelson! Yes, even with my personal nemesis John Kuhn gone to the Saints, Green Bay remains the White Folk Hero capital of the Midwest. It’s a fake town full of fake people that the NFL uses every week as a Gary Cooper movie set. It’s a town for people who wish they lived inside a snow globe. I hate it and hope it burns. As for the State of Wisconsin, it’s a just a bedroom community for people too girthy to fit into Chicago proper. It’s a place where the most exciting thing that can happen any given week is a stupid fish fry: Wisconsin has the highest per-capita beer consumption of anywhere in the world but they don’t even have any decent beers. Ninety percent of tourist attractions in the state involve buildings erected by 19th century Germans who were exiled from the old country for robbing peasants, who then set up shop here to make pee-beer that Wisconsin people still quaff despite the advent of modern brewing technology. **** Wisconsin and **** Paul Ryan. Bostick dropped the kick. Dom Capers has bad hair. What might not suck: I’ve said far too many nice things about your quarterback already. That’s all you get. I hope the Vikings “accidentally” close their new stadium doors on his foot. Let’s remember some Packers: ·Tim Harris. I hated Tim Harris. ·Dorsey Levens. God, I hated Dorsey Levens. ·William Henderson. Him too. ·Frank Winters. John Madden adored him. **** John Madden. ·Bill Schroeder. Loser.
Minnesota Vikings Your team: Blair missed the kick. Your 2015 record: I don’t even remember because Blair missed the kick. I don’t… Ugh, just… Look man, **** like this only happens when God wants to **** you. This is the part where I disclose to you that I am a Vikings fan. That means no matter what I say on this website about any other team, or any other fans, or any other city, you can go right ahead and throw this goddamn kick right back in my face and I will be unable to respond. I am a deer in headlights when confronted with the absolute and total failure of my own stupid, ******* team. God ****ing dammit. TWENTY-SEVEN YARDS, BLAIR. I don’t care if it was cold enough to kill a Tauntaun. From 27 yards the corpse of Denny Green could have made that kick. My alcoholism is on you. Your coach: Mike Zimmer, whom I love and whom is easily the best coach in team history since Bud Grant. But it took no time at all for phony-*** Minnesotans to take Zimmer and use him to buff up their own bull**** self-image. Oooh, he’s so plain-spoken, just like Bud! He’s our kind of guy! Look at this load of garbage: Mike Zimmer is becoming our guy. Which is a rare thing… He is clearly not “one of us” by birth or accent. He nevertheless has a chance to become one of the most beloved coaches in Minnesota history, where no matter what we say we want we really prefer older and crustier, blunter and bluer… Zimmer has performed a neat trick by not performing any tricks. See, this is why Minnesotans deserve to watch shanked 27-yard field goals for the rest of eternity. They are a group of passive-aggressive psychopaths who have somehow deluded themselves into believing they’re plain, honest folk. There are Bridgehampton socialites more willing to speak their mind than these silently fuming lutefisk eaters. It’s an entire state of TV morning show hosts. And the whole “one of us” thing is genuinely repugnant. This state treats itself like a country club and it treats the rest of the world like it’s on a waiting list to get in. If only Minnesotans knew how little everyone else thinks of that frozen wasteland. By God, I will scream my contempt out loud through the new Gjallarhorn. Also, Norv is still the OC. If Norv Turner were a doctor he’d leave a scalpel inside you by accident. Watch any game called by Norv and you will witness at least one drive, perhaps more, that seems to have been deliberately sabotaged. Wait, why are we running the ball with no timeouts left? Why did he call that fullback lateral? IS HE A DOUBLE AGENT?! Norv can rot in hell. Blair missed the kick. Your quarterback: Teddy Bridgewater. Every time I talk to my friends about the Vikings, they usually ask, “So, how you feel about Teddy?” And when I tell them that I like Teddy, they arch their eyebrows to the point of spraining vital facial muscles. Really? You sure about that answer? You sure you don’t want to change your story there? This is because they know that Teddy has the arm strength of a wingless seagull. Every pass downfield looks like it’s on replay. Faced with a mild pass rush, Teddy looks like the town bully just told him to meet him behind school at three o’clock. **** me blind. Also, Teddy led the drive that led to Blair missing the kick. What’s new that sucks: The stadium! Yes, this year the Vikings unveil their billion-dollar, bird-murdering stadium, which looks like a set of giant Magna-Tiles some toddler left in the center of downtown Minneapolis. Al Michaels has already creamed his Four Seasons bathrobe thinking about the place. Were there cost overruns? You know there were. Did the Vikings sue Wells Fargo for daring to put signage near the stadium, which is named after a competing bank? You know they did. Will the city of Minneapolis begin slashing budgets for schools and other vital services to help foot the $500 million they’ve paid for this Imperial Destroyer? You know they will. The Wilf family is a bunch of scummy crooks and they’ll burn this thing down for the insurance money the second they discover the Feds sniffing around them... On the field, GM Rick Spielman made only a token effort to revamp what was the worst line in team history. You’d have a harder time knocking down a row of dominoes. The Vikes cut Phil Loadholt’s salary until he retired, signed aging vets Alex Boone and Andre Smith’s manbreasts, and drafted Willie Beavers, who graded second-to-last among lineman in ALL of college football last season. All of it. Jesus Christ. The rest of the line is dependent on center John Sullivan not having his spine turn into wet bread at some point during the season. Matt Kalil is still the worst thing in my life. Laquon Treadwell was the team’s first draft pick. The knock on Quon is that he has issues catching the ball, which isn’t a big problem for wideouts at all! Why not draft Troy Williamson a second time and then stab me in the heart. Also, we drafted a German wideout. The second he catches a regular season pass, his jersey will skyrocket to No. 1 in sales across the entire state and the governor will hand him a sash with ONE OF US emblazoned on it. Our bearded imbecile of a mascot held out for $20,000 a game and then decided to become a Packers fan when the team (wisely) told him to eat ****. Prince died. Blair missed the kick. What has always sucked: Oh hey, Adrian Peterson is still out there swallowing his own dip spit while fumbling like a complete ******* in playoff games. Has ANYONE talked to him about the fumbling? Or would that be too upsetting to his delicate psyche, causing him to literally lash out at everyone with a palm frond? I am sick to death of the endless coddling of Adrian Peterson. Everyone is scared to death of upsetting him. He surrounds himself with family and sycophants down in Texas because he can’t bear to be confronted with anything resembling the truth, and then he pops up to Minneapolis during the season to ***** about carries, treat his fumbleitis with nothing but firm handshakes, and then lay the ball on the turf when his team can least afford it. He’s expensive and thin-skinned and he’s not even a good fit for this offense anymore. If he gets suspended another full year for locking his kids in an airless steam trunk, I won’t bat an eyelash. Also, Blair is still here. Now I know the honorable thing to do is keep Blair Walsh around, send him encouraging letters from first graders, and stand by him as he tries to recover from the playoff game against Seattle. This is one of those rare and baffling instances where a football team decides to be humane. But I already know it’s a lost cause. Once a kicker gets his psyche shattered, there’s not putting it back together. Walsh could go the entire regular season without missing a kick and this team would still have a massive guillotine blade hanging over its neck. Everything about the Vikings—from the offense to the defense to the special teams—is designed to malfunction at the exact wrong time. More sad fan reaction videos are the Vikings’ destiny. And it’s what they and their fans deserve: If Blair confessed that he missed the kick just to spite Minnesota, I wouldn’t blame him. I’d strangle him with my bare hands, but I wouldn’t blame him. What might not suck: Kiss my ***. We’re going to the Super Bowl. That is my formal prediction. Be sure to remind me of this come January when the team has accidentally fallen into a snow crevasse. Also, Blair would miss the winning kick in that Super Bowl. Let’s remember some Vikings: ·DJ Dozier ·Al Noga ·Jake Reed ·Derrick Alexander ·Steve Jordan
William Henderson is one of the least hateable people on the planet. Dorsey Levens never got tackled getting driven back always went forward. Billy Schrader is an idiot why you would leave when you have Brett Favre throwing to you to go to Detroit? Then again Billy drives a viper and travels around competing in the pro circuit long drive golf competition.
I posted what he had to say. Vikes show why we have a shot this year. Defense is elite. Defense wins championships.
I will say this... And it's 100% the truth. No team has had more garbage looking wins than the Packers over the past 17 games... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Is every game supposed to be a blowout? Sure, they almost let the jags win, but it's not like the jags are a crap team. They had 2 1000 yd receivers last year, and bortles threw for 4000 yds and 35 tds. I'm not really sure what a garbage looking win is?
