Minnesota lost Thielen, Cook, and Zadarius, now just lost to the Baker Mayfield f***ing Bucs, and you're like "nah the Packers still probably suck and I think the Lions will have to duke it out with the Vikings"
This season Packers fans have 0 expectations, we have one of the youngest rosters and the youngest WR corps who was missing their #1 receiver today. The Packers and Wings are pretty near the same spot right now, young cores the fans are hoping to take a step. Playoff hopefuls. Our hope is to build on something for next year in my mind.
Oh, my hope is just that Love flames out because I don't want anything good to happen to the Packers. Packers = Ohio State = Chicago White Sox = Chicago Bulls
I don't think the Packers suck, I hope they suck, because I don't like seeing them win. I will say it is a weird flex in a week when the Lions just beat the defending champ Kansas City Chiefs @ Arrowhead to get bent out of shape that we think they happen to finally be pretty good. I get it, many fans can be very ridiculous about it. But honestly, that game against KC is a game we've lost hundreds of times. Where we have some penalty slight go against us or an ill-timed fumble on the doorstep and we whine about what could have been.
I also, and i know this is tantamout to treason, want to see Green Bay beat some team that isn't Chicago before I change my opinion on them. Chicago was the worst team in the league by a wide margin last year, lost several pieces and replaced them... but their prized acquisition went 2 catches, 25 yards. They played against a running back who occassionally throws the ball. Let's see them against Atlanta.
Are you guys actually this annoying talking to other fans about the Wings?
Like it's genuinely insufferable and not in the fun way.
Lastly, you gotta remember, Bench, that asking Lions fans to give the Packers ANY credit is like asking a Wings fan in 1998 to be like "Yeah, those Colorado Avalanche guys are awesome." We can praise one or two who are above reproach, like Jamaal Williams before he came to Detroit or Jaire Alexander who's just a stud CB (or Charles Woodson before him) a la Sakic, but we're gonna f***in hate your guys beyond what you would consider normal reason. We have decades of hatred built up for those cheesy f***ers.
I apologize for what I said, Lions are a 9+ win team for sure in this division/NFC, both them and the Packers will be playoff bound.
Let's all point and laugh at the Bears.
I can do this. I will also be praying for the Packers to lose every week. The Bears are not good. The Vikings are mediocrity personified. So, the main comp for the division is the Packers, therefore, I want Green Bay to stack up the losses early and often if they can. Just like Minnesota last year. They stacked up a bunch of fluky wins early such that when they came back down to Earth, they just had too big a division lead to be caught.
