I didn’t see the game but I wouldn’t jump to any conclusions just yet. The colts are young and a draft a way and the Pack won 15 games last year. For the record, you don’t win that many games every year. And, my prayers are with the Colts, coach, team, and fans, hang in there.

Why can’t Packers fans just admit their team had a bad game. Yeah the call for the Seattle game was wrong, but you can’t play the loss on one play. There were bad calls both ways, and bad plays both ways.

That being said… Your team collapsed in the 4th quarter. No team is perfect, and in all fairness, the Colts this year are better than last year.

That Greenbay cheese is looking like it’s a little ways past it’s freshness date. It’s understanding that they would need a lot more Whine to choke down that cheese.

Oh man… a whine and cheese comment.

Do you think you’re the first person to come up with that? I mean… it’s really sad.

The truth is, that’s about as commonly used as “Vikings fans bang their own moms.”

Although that one is true.

As a Vikings fan, I am not going to come on here to rub more salt on the wounds about yesterday’s loss. The fact is they’re just not finishing games and are not playing smart. The only good game they have played was against the Bears (although it was a little boring to watch). And instead of owning up to accountability, I am hearing too many excuses and not enough action to correct the problems in the offensive line and defense. You guys have got to play better football if you want to be taken seriously right now for the playoffs. But you’re blowing it!

Fun reading. Packer fans have a thin skin when it comes to trash talking. They believe it only comes from Viking fans when in reality it comes from fans of many teams. Packers stunk it up because they let Philbin go last season and too many of their drives stall now. Their defense is now on the field way to much and gets easily exposed.

It is gonna be a long season for the Packers and their fans. Feel free to whine away.

It seems that there is a loss for every different discount double check commercial I see. Stop making your money in front of a camera, and start making your pay on the field!

@deuceforbrains

I don’t think the packers have a better defense than the bears and Vikings.

I know it.

That’s why it’s so frustrating to see them underachieve.

The Colts wanted this game more, whether it be the Coach or not. It seems they played with more heart.

I think teams, have figured out what the Packers did best last year, and aren’t letting GB run up and down the field like that anymore.

So MM, needs to make more adjustments so they can be the high octane offesnse they were.

The Packers have been good at playing halfs this year, 2nd half Sea, 1st half Saits, 1st half Colts.

They need to play complete games if they are going to win. They better start next week.

Luck was definately the right call on draft day. The ‘Skins were hoping the Colts would take RGIII so they could snag Luck.

Luck has the obvious ability to be a Great player for many years in the NFL Griffin? Well, he is gonna be average, but he will sell jerseys and tickets because of his explosivness. That doesnt win a lot of games though.

What did we learn?

Nelson is not a #1 still is a #3

Finnley is terrible and not worth the roster spot

GB has no running game

Jones is a great #2 and the only consistent receiver no body would have argued that a year ago.

Jennings is more important that most realize

“Sam Shields was flagged for Pass interference that set the Colts up in 1st and goal territory after making no contact with the receiver except for the outstretched hand of the WR shoving Shields in the chest”

*********

That’s right, his chest…. As in he never turned to look for the ball. Just jumped up and stuck his arms in the air. Sounds like pass interference to me. Learn the rules before you start whining about the refs!

Rodgers was later heard to say: “BJ Raji didn’t lead the team to 35 or more points–he’s stealing my move!”

WOW! What a kick, er duck hook, by Crosby!

Ah, oh. Injury bug takes two big bites on RB and DL.

Worst thing about this loss for Packers fans though is that it is immediately followed by a trip to Houston.

Does nobody feel like giving the Colts defense any credit?! Did anyone see the game?! I don’t know what they talked about at halftime but it worked! Looked like a completely different defense. The Packers offense was totally shut down. Period. The Colts secondary, which is below average and has been for years, was swarming. There was nowhere to throw the ball…and that gave time for the pass rush to get to work. GO COLTS!! CHUCKSTRONG!

The Packers looked terrible today.

1.) Rodgers needs to get rid of the ball faster.

2.) McCarthy needs to call runs more frequently, as they didn’t run the ball until in the 2nd half until almost the 4th quarter.

3.) Rodgers doesn’t look as good throwing downfield like he has in the past. I don’t know what the reasoning is, but they have to connect on those kind of passes.

While there were a few bad calls in this game, the Packers have no one to blame but themselves. They need to just get rid of Finley, who used to be one of my favorite players, but is now a liability.

The Packers should still compete for the division, as they’re better on both sides of the ball than anyone in the NFC North.

This just in……if you think the packers goddawful “d” is better that the bears abd Vikes, then YOU ARE ON CRACK!

Packers have one of the worst defenses in the league, let alone the worst in the division.

Get the cheese out of the brain!

Packers literally stunk up the place in the second half. No defense (as usual) and the offense decided to take the rest of the afternoon off. Pretty much the same players as last year but no where near the same team.

2-3 Packers lost to a rookie QB an worse they let him come back from 17 down. Somebody send Greenbay a blanket cause its cold in the BASEMENT.

Can you imagine if the Pack misses the playoffs by one game? What a black eye legacy for the replacement ref debacle.

And btw, as a Stanford fan, you’re WELCOME! Luck is the real deal.

lifelong Packers fan.

I dont know if I would say Colts ‘stunned’ the Packers, better team left the field with a W today. Doesn’t matter who you are, you cannot win games in the NFL when your o-line leaks like a sieve, especially when three and outs mean you have to rely on a defense that has been porous at best. Texans will tear apart every flaw next week if something isn’t done soon.

I’d just like to note for you people that there is exactly one packer fan in this thread that blamed the refs. One. And two weeks ago the call we were ALL blaming for the Packers loss was so bad it made the national evening news. Haters gonna hate I guess.

This is why the NFL is awesome, the worst team last year just beat a team that unstoppable in the regular season minus one game to the Chiefs. Oh, and the Vikings are 4-1, which is nice.

As a Bears fan I love seeing the Packers lose. I won’t be happy though until I know they’re officially eliminated from playoff contention.

The way the Packers have been playing reminds me ot 2010. Losses to weaker teams, especially in the front half of the season. Remember back to back losses to the Fins and the Skins? All those struggles led to backing into the playoffs with help, and then beating the crap out of everybody on the way to the Super Bowl.
Not to say that is going to happen this year, but all the posts about the Pack being done are the handiwork of homers and idiots that are too stupid count to eleven, the number of games left.
Congrats Colts fans, you deserve a break.

So, just like in the NFC championship game the packers beat themselfs. OFFhand I’m sure they’ll claim it was the ref’s fault.

When the Bears mopped the floor with the Colts in week 1 Packer fans said it was nothing to get all excited about because the Colts have a rookie QB and they may be the worst team in the NFL.

Packer fans…
Where are you Packer fans?
