NFL 2022/23 thread.

Packers, unbelievable. In one of the pools I participate in we select winners in the NFL and assign them a point value, this week 1-11. The total points vary with the number of games that week. Feeling that even the Packers could bear the Lions I gave that game my highest point value. Oops.

Aaron Rogers, three picks in the red zone. WTH?

I personally believe that one should support their local team. I was born in Texas so I was originally a Cowboys fan. When I lived in Chicago, I was a Bears fan. When I lived briefly in New Jersey, I was a Giants fan. When I lived in Southern California, I was a Rams fan. When in the Cincinnati area, Iwas a Bengals fan. Now, ever since I've been in North Carolina, I am a Panthers fan. I am a loyal fan regardless of the team's record.
I DO however understand college fans being loyal to their alma mater.

Have to get up early to watch the Seahawks tomorrow, since they're playing in Germany the game starts at 6:30 AM.

Actually I have my DVR set up to record it, I'll start watching it when I get up and have my first cup of coffee. That really works out better, I can skip through commercials and halftime.

I was an M’s fan ever since 1977. Well actually going back to 1969 as a Pilots fan. That is why I was troubled to become a Brewers fan. Milwaukee stole the Pilots and they became the Brewers.

I know it’s not football but was addressing the loyalty aspect.

I’m now a diehard Packers fan and am stupid enough to watch them regardless of how they do.

I'm rooting for your Pack Gene. Go Packers!

They just squeezed a win out.

As usual I’m late or early to the party, yesterday I picked the Packers to lose and the Rams to win…yeah right

The Seahawks (who I picked to win) game was so awful I turned it off in the third quarter. Between waking up to the political news that came out yesterday and the Seahawks worthless performance my day started out poorly and put me in a foul mood. Took me a few hours to get my mind right. Just an elderly cry baby here.

BIG win for Washington tonight!

[Coach]

Raiders win with a 86 yd OT run.

Two wins in a row.

[markiver54]

Panthers bucked the Broncos...what??

[Hatchdog]

Raiders win with a 86 yd OT run.

Two wins in a row.

I’m really starting to hate sports in general. Friday night my Gonzaga Bulldog men’s basketball team got their butts whipped by Purdue. Saturday night my WSU Cougars football team got their butts whipped by the Washington Huskies. Sunday my Seattle Seahawks team got their butts whipped by the Raiders. (See above) Finally the Gonzaga team won last night but struggled against Xavier, a non ranked team.

My wife is ready to banish me to the basement for my outbursts.

Cheer up. You could be a Packer fan like me.

My wife’s cousin and hubby who live nearby in the warm season are big Packer fans. He is originally from Wisconsin and has remained a Packer fan even tho he moved to So. California many years ago. He does support the Rams of course but his true love is the Pack. He told me that this year he thought (briefly) about becoming a Seahawks fan as he lives here in Washington state for part of the year.

I’ve been a Seahawk fan since 1976. Well I was until 2021 when I got fed up and moved to Wisconsin in 2022. Go Packers and £#(& the Bears!

Hey All,

Still happy about OR state win...

But the Seahawks - how do you figure them out?

Last two games they changed their offensive and worse yet defensive schemes and got whipped for doing so. So frustrating...

Did they think the Bucs and Las Vegas were so weak they could try playing Pete ball - our guys are bigger tougher an better than yo guys we will overpower you like we did with the legion of boom and beast mode same as what he often did at USC. I think Pete's heart an soul is into power football the run and defense - passing is secondary. I don't know why he thinks he can play that way without the truly talented and experienced players. And what does playing that way do to his players? Best example the rookie right tackle left alone to stop one if the biggest best edge rushers in the NFL alone an getting manhandled on every play. Where was a tight end on that side to chip or double team him? Yet they often used double tight ends in the 4 game win streak. I could go on an don't want to start in the nonexistent defence. If you don't have the players don't try to play a 3 4 defense unless you have an Aaron Donald type nose tackle. I don't get it. Anyway during his post game presser Pete admitted to bad schemes in that game. At least Geno played well as 5 tds should be enough to win at home.

Hopefully they get it straightened out and I admit I'm a big fan of
the far more finesse an the offensive style of the old 49ers under Bill Walsh.

Had to rant somewhere... Sorry.

I am a Panthers fan for obvious reasons. Today they take on the Bucaneers for what will likely be the NFC south title.
I must say that I would love to see Tom Brady humbled today with a loss. I respect special athletes, but have never liked him. He throws tantrums when all is not going well. He points fingers at teammates because he thinks he can do no wrong. It must be someone else's fault He has been called a role model...I think not. Remember "Deflate Gate". He should have stayed retired but chose the NFL spotlight over his marriage. He's got I think 6 rings and is 45 years old. Time to quit Tom...I might add that players are almost afraid to hit him for fear of a roughing penalty. The refs are protecting him.
GO PANTHERS!

[Coach]

I’m expecting a Raider loss to the 49ers today…

[Hatchdog]

Well, well, well, once again I picked the Seahawks to lose on my pick sheet and once again they stabbed me in the back and won. They played a complete game with a good balanced offense, good defense and other than one missed field goal (that didn’t matter) the special teams were strong too. So next week if the Hawks beat the Rams and Green Bay loses the Seahawks will be in the playoffs. Who wudda thunk?
