OT: Non-Hockey Sports Thread XI - Defense? Who Needs Defense?! (Wade Wilson Memorial Edition)

[TaLoN]

The best moment from yesterday's game

 

[Northerner]

The best moment from yesterday's game

The best moment was when Mullens came in lol

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

I think they should start Hall. Obviously Dobbs is done, and Mullens was an improvement in his few drives but he isn’t taking the team anywhere. Let the kid go, and see if there’s anything there for a few games to end the year.

 

[Northerner]

I thought Mullens looked fine. Certainly better than Dobbs.

 

[Digitalbooya]

The MLB is such a joke if they allow this.

 

[Sad People]

2 million for 10 years. lol I cant stand baseball its boring as eff to watch but if i had to choose a team itd be the Dodgers.

 

[Digitalbooya]

They played PREVENT defense up by ONE. Fire Joe Barry today. Right now.

NFC North - the division that no one wants to win.

 

[Northerner]

If oconnel gets the Vikings to the playoffs should get coach of the year

Wouldn't expect anything else when it's Detroit leading the division. That's an entire franchise that has never been able to get out of it's own way.
People like to rag on the Vikes, but the Vikes are a top 5 winning franchise in the NFL, just missing the big one. Detroit is one of the losing-est franchises in all of sports and has only won a single playoff game in 50+ years. Detroit fans have had it the worst.

Looking good right now... we control our destiny again for the division too... two games coming up against a struggling on both sides of the ball Lions team.

Yeah, but the Vikes have never won the big one. Some excellent teams, but missing that final game. That's where GB can puff out their chests.

Which I noted in my post...
Would still rather be a Vikes fan than a Detroit fan any day

Of course, but it does get kind of old not winning when you can still remember watching Fran and the gang. They were an iconic team, but couldn't pull off the big win like GB, Dallas, Steelers, etc.

I don't feel like we are anywhere close right now.

In what regard?

Minnesota is 15th in total wins and 8th in win percentage from the stats I’ve seen.

GB is also 1st for wins all time and 2nd in win percentage.

Meh. 40 years of Favre and Rodgers and only having 2 titles during that time is actually pretty underwhelming.

Wow, just.... wow. That's insane

 

[Digitalbooya]

Yet, it’s still worlds better than 0 titles in what… 61 years?

Didn't say it was worse, just that it's not fully whelming.

 

[Northerner]

Would have liked to see talents like Favre and Rogers get one more each in GB but two isn't bad. It's really hard in pro sports to win titles.

Yankees spent billions in the last 25 years and only one title to show for it.

If Green Bay had any semblance of a defense for Rodgers' tenure, they would have won at least 2 or 3. But management spent so long ignoring free agents and instead trying to draft and develop every position.
