Sota I'm in the same boat I said when we were at 4-6 that if we scrap and claw to 8-8 I'll hold respect for them...they went well above what anyone truly thought possible. Could keep rolling and I'll lose my voice cheering them on but in the end this team was SOOOOO bad for a time to find it as they have has made the season a "success" in many ways. Still expect a shake up and TT stepping aside win or lose any of the follow 3 games.
As far as the Packers being Sooo bad I will not accept that, they were slightly off in timing. That is why Aaron does not pump fake if he goes with first read the ball is delivered to a very specific spot, the receivers were not getting to those spots. The change is part timing but also an adjustment Aaron had to make to see the timing and adjust delivery. I was talking with my son about the change in Aaron and he had a theory that the injuries to the hamstring and calf forced Aaron to perfect his footwork to not torque the injuries so he got back in a groove of better footwork.
The results of whatever factors were at play, which I concede definitely existed, were "soooooo bad" for me. 4-6 with this team could justifiably be described with far worse terms.
Imagine my angst living amongst viking fans, but I am a believer and a warrior and just knew it would all turn out.
Not shocked at all, be surprised if he is on sidelines even honestly...but suspect he will be. Cobb healthy and seemingly back is huge, Adams can and has at times stepped up big time....Geronimo coming on and I suspect a continued growth of Cook targets....doesn't change my prediction any but does suck.
Not going to pick the Cowboys game but I do love that they're the underdog in this one. At least it seems that way. The rest... Patriots, Steelers, Seattle.
If there is one thing we have all learned there is no better QB than one named Aaron that feels scorned or labeled as the underdog.
I'm talking about the Cowboys as the underdog. From everything I've seen the past week, the Cowboys don't have much of a chance.
I suspect the Cowboys will try to get the ball in the hands of Zeke as much as they possibly can to keep Rodgers off the field. Cowboys O-Line SHOULD man handle the Packers defensive line to help control possession. Going to be a great game.
Pats over Texans in a curb stomping. Falcons over seahawks because I will forever hate the seahawks. Can Russel Wilson please stop saying hes from Wisconsin too. You went to UW for like 5 months. Stop it. Chiefs over Steelers. Not enough people are giving the chiefs credit for how good they really are. Aaand finally Im going packers over the cowboys. If the packers can keep zeke to around 100 yrds and maybe 1 td I think the pack wins. Force Dak to beat you. Dak trying to match Rodgers throw point for point Is the last thing they want to do.
It is not an easy burden to carry the franchise that built the league that made other teams like the vikings and tampa bay buccaneers a viable franchise as well as many others. If not for the original teams there would be nothing.
I could make a list that goes on for pages about all the adversity Super Bowl winning teams face. Look at Denver last year.
