You mean the GOAT Rodgers!

viking fans are so juvenile calling Aaron names they have to do that to deflect from the fact that they went 0-4 in Superbowls followed by 0-6 in the NFC championship game since. Jealousy and envy makes fans say things that sound foolish.

A good opening Sunday. Some good games, a few great games and then there's Buffalo. I am sick of McDermot reading from the book of post game presser answers. The guy hasn't given a heartfelt answer going on 2 years. The best yesterday was "We need to look at film." Look at film!!! Look at the scoreboard stupid, that's all you need to see. At least Rex was fun to listen to regardless off the score. 3 of the O line is gone this year, look at that. Spend 5 mil on a QB that has started more than 1 game and trade him for a 5th round pick, look at that. Get rid of Tyrod Taylor because you have a guy that threw 5 ints in one half on his first ever start last year to replace him and gets pulled for the rookie yesterday, look at that. It might be a long cold season up here.

As for hurting someone's feelings. I had to raise my voice to a 30 something year old when he screwed up my order. His manager called me to tell me I was out of line and the 30 something was so upset he had to take time off. At least he didn't wake up with his jaw wired like in the old days when you caused a customer to loose a few grand. Not saying that's the way to settle something but it sure worked.

So the pro team from Michigan is just as bad as the college ones.

I didn't know Rodgers made the rule!

Might as well, it was because of a hit put on him. Next the D wont be able to touch a QB. They'll be able to stand back there half the nite...

MN got flagged during preseason for tackling a QB and landed on him. Not sure how else you tackle someone....

I find it pretty funny when viking fans talk smack about how great their team is and what they are going to do blah blah blah. At this point their crying and complaining and taunting is just so pointless. They have never been all the way but they sure think they are in the big boy club, they are like the annoying little brother.

As far as the hit on the QB I remember it but can't recall what teams. The guy pancaked the QB driving him into the turf, not necessary. With the size of these guys today and the speed at which they play I am concerned someone is going to be killed sooner or later. I might sound like I embellish but am not and I pray I'm wrong. Some of these Mike LB's are 6'2" and 245lbs with 36" waists that run sub 5 second 40's. Look at Buffalo's 20 year old rookie middle LB for example, Tremaine Edmunds, 6'5" 250 lbs, and he is fast, real fast, are you kidding me?

As far as the guy screwing up an order it did cost me. I was waiting 6 weeks for custom kitchen cabs, he ordered and sent the wrong kitchen that added 2 more months to the reno finish. That's over 3 months. I wanted to list the lake home for sale in the summer not late fall. I don't know exactly what it cost me but I know it cost $$$$. People usually buy vacation properties in spring or summer, just like a boat fall isn't the best time to sell.

I liken it to a virgin giving sex advice, they have never been all the way but they sure think they are in the big boy club, they are like the annoying little brother.

Now whos team imploded when they lost their QB last year? And which team went to the NFC finals with their 3rd string QB?

Speaking of fans, Packer fans can be the worst. They throw their team under the bus as soon as they play like crap. I'm sure it happened for most of the Bears game. When they play bad, "Packers suck". Then they start playing good again and their the greatest thing since sliced bread.. I know, I live in Packer country.

I'm not one of those Viking fans that say how great the team is and what they're going to do. I know better, I've been watching them for too many years.

Let's remember its that time of the year and smack talk is part of it. But it's just smack.

Still dont like the Sharon rule...šŸ˜

I am a Minnesota native and a Packer fan, and my point is viking fans talk a lot about nothing because they have zero championships until till they win on all they have is talk. If you do not win a championship it is a failed season at least in Green Bay. Plus calling Aaron Sharon because you do not like an NFL is juvenile but don't feel ashamed lots of viking fans talk like that.

It might be a long cold season up here.

First look at the owners. They took a somewhat respectable hockey team and ran them into the ground. They also happen to own the Jills. One lineman retired. One is now fighting to keep out of the nuthouse after retiring and demanding his release soon thereafter. Another one traded out of town. None were really replaced. And I agree on the QB situation - it's poor to put it mildly.

I laughed at the score and that the QB they jettisoned to Cleveland just took the Steelers to an OT tie. Cleveland suddenly looks respectable. I believe Buffalo is looking to join Cleveland in the perfect season standings. 0-16 baby unless some team at the very end of the season manages to foul that up.

I had to look it up, no mercy rule in the NFL. I think ownership might just be floating that one after this season.
