We Suck

[BeerIsGood!]

I had high hopes for this team after the 10-1 start, but this game shows why we'll be one and done again in the playoffs. No Heart on Defense.

[CubanMustGo]

No joke, some no-name QB completing ten passes in a row? WTF is up with THAT?

[ShoogarBear]

Rowfullrowfullrowfull!!!!!!

[Thunder Dan]

Can this end the TO/Moss debate once and for all?

[ShoogarBear]

I don't think the Cowboy fans will be able to talk for a little while. Give them some recovery time.

[BeerIsGood!]

The Cowboys should have beaten the Packers by 25+, but they decided to quit after Favre goes out of the game. It's like they thought the game was over and just stopped playing. How fucking pathetic.

[ShoogarBear]

Jackie Smith can sleep peacefully now.

[Thunder Dan]

does anyone find Bryant Gumble almost unlistenable? on top of that, whose idea was it to tell what quarter it is by using the universal 'time-out' lights? NFL Network isn't on cable for good reason, it fuckin sucks

[samikeyp]

I will still be able to talk....but the first word will usually be FUCK!!!

[ShoogarBear]

That was some funny-ass shit.

[CubanMustGo]

Gumble sucks. He must have come cheap.

Yes! For the first 10 minutes of the game, he didn't know that the team in blue was Dallas.

[Thunder Dan]

Gumble sucks. He must have come cheap.

he is just so boring

[monosylab1k]

Do you hear that decidedly Packer-friendly crowd? There's so many fuckin' Packers fans that the GB Defense is PUMPING UP THE CROWD and the noise is causing the DALLAS OFFENSE to have delay of games. Where's that ZackAttack bitch at now? With his season tickets and bullshit about how the Cowboys support the team in Texas stadium, stupid asshole.

[ShoogarBear]

That's true. It sounds like about a 25% GB crowd. Maybe more.

[samikeyp]

That's true. It sounds like about a 25% GB crowd. Maybe more

I think 25% is a fair estimate...they sound louder though.

[ShoogarBear]

LOL, have they thrown to T.O. since The Play?

[monosylab1k]

I bet it's 40% Pack fans. It was close to that for the NE game.

[CubanMustGo]

Took them long enough to call that interference.

[samikeyp]

I bet it's 40% Pack fans. It was close to that for the NE game.

There may not be that in actual bodies but they sure as hell sound like it.

[ShoogarBear]

They still haven't thrown to T.O., have they?

[Thunder Dan]

it's not even loud there after a TD..is that how it normally is there?

[samikeyp]

Not since the challenge.

[samikeyp]

it's not even loud there after a TD..is that how it normally is there?

yeah. Not only do you have some apathy, sound escapes out of the hole in the roof.

[Spurminator]

I really don't ever remember Gumble being this awful.


There was one exchange where Collinsworth was talking about Marion Barber for a good minute, then Gumble chimes in with "Coach McCarthy says he's the heart and soul of this Packers offense." Ten seconds of silence goes by while Collinsworth tried to figure out WTF he was talking about.

[samikeyp]

I remember wayyyyyy back in the day when Gumble was the studio host for NBC when they still had the AFC sunday afternoon package in the early 80's. He was ok then but he is gawdawful now.

[CubanMustGo]

There was another moment when Barber carried the ball down to the five yard line and Gumble said that Favre handed the ball off.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I know it's hard to believe, but BG was worse last year. Much worse.

[samikeyp]

I know it's hard to believe, but BG was worse last year. Much worse.

That's scary.

[BeerIsGood!]

This may be the first game in history a team tries their hardest to lose but fucks up and wins

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

He called Frank Gore *Al Gore* at least twice in the same telecast.

[whottt]

Did Favre get injured?

[samikeyp]

This may be the first game in history a team tries their hardest to lose but fucks up and wins

SHHHH!!!!

There's still time! :)

[samikeyp]

Did Favre get injured?

Yes....bruised elbow.

[CubanMustGo]

Boy GB did get screwed royally on that spot before the FG.

[whottt]

Who got him? Roy?

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Jones

[samikeyp]

Who got him? Roy?

No....Nathan Jones on a sack...clean play but he got hit just right.

[ShoogarBear]

He hit his arm on the side of a helmet throwing a pass.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Actually, his face mask made contact with the inside of Favre's elbow. You could see the red marks from the mask on his arm.

[CubanMustGo]

Funny thing was that Favre kept trying this deep shit and it wasn't working. Then Rodgers comes in, runs the typical nickle-and-dime shit passing game that GB runs, and once they started playing their normal offensive game the 'pokes couldn't stop the Packers.

[BeerIsGood!]

Everywhere the Cowboys play on the road the crowd is 20% Cowboy fans so what difference does it make? Not like Dallas isn't filled with shitloads of transplants from other states.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

That was a weak PI call, IMO.

The defense stopped it early, the whole team just gave up like the game was over once Favre went down. If Favre stayed in the game the Cowboys win by 25+

[samikeyp]

And no, Shoog....they still haven't thrown to T.O.

:)

[ShoogarBear]

T.O. may have seen his last pass as a Cowboy. :lol

[samikeyp]

Hey...if it means winning...im ok with that! :)

[BeerIsGood!]

Fuck it, a win is a win. Even if you quit for 2 3/4 of the game and go on sleep mode.

[samikeyp]

Damn, Keith Davis.

[CubanMustGo]

So where will Jason Garrett be coaching next year?

[jay014]

No joke, some no-name QB completing ten passes in a row? WTF is up with THAT?
Kurt Warner?

[BeerIsGood!]

That was like the Buffalo game. Those two games I swear the team fucked themselves over with little bullshit things more often and still managed to win than I've seen in any other game in a few years. Green Bay has obviously taken advantage of a relatively weak schedule void of the Pats and other decent to good AFC teams.

[BeerIsGood!]

So where will Jason Garrett be coaching next year?

Jerry will shell out to lock him up.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Green Bay has obviously taken advantage of a relatively weak schedule void of the Pats and other decent to good AFC teams.


You mean like the Jets, Phins and Bills?

[CubanMustGo]

Kurt Warner?

:lmao

Worse: Aaron Charles Rodgers, with a lifetime QBR of 48.6 in his two-plus years. Ended up 18-26 for 201, 1 TD, 0 INTs.

[BeerIsGood!]

You mean like the Jets, Phins and Bills?

No, that would be the Pats that get to play 6 games against those teams.


I mean more like getting two games against the god awful Detroit Lions.

[samikeyp]

I am happy as hell for the win but I hope Favre comes back....he deserves to go out with the ball in his hand.





As long as he doesn't beat Dallas. :)

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

No, that would be the Pats that get to play 6 games against those teams.

They also played and beat every other NFC East team.

I'm sure GB can lose by 20+ to NE as well.

It all means nothing. You play who they tell you to play.

And that god awful Lions team beat the Cowboys last year when the NFCE crown was still up for grabs.

Anything can happen on any given Sunday.

[Hank the Tank]

Schedule smack is weak.
yeah. besides, them god awful lions beat the cowboys last yr if i remember correctly....have no idea how it happened since i was at a pistons game that day though.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

And I accidentally edited this:

Schedule smack is weak.

Save it for the BCS.

[BeerIsGood!]

They also played and beat every other NFC East team.

Schedule smack is weak.

So have the Cowboys, and they beat the second best NFC east team twice. Isn't it an NFC east team that beat the Lions by 1412412341241241234 points at the beginning of the season? I think it was.

Whatever you make of the "schedule smack", as you put it, the fact remains that Green Bay is a good story and a good team, but not on the same level as the Cowboys when the Cowboys decide to come out and play like they did for the first quarter and a half of this game. The problem the Cowboys have is mentally fucking up in coverages and focus and making otherwise marginal or shitty players (Rodgers) look awesome. Lack of focus in big games will get you beaten eventually.

The Lions aren't god awful, I was just ribbing ya a bit. They are either hot or cold, and it looks like they may be cold at the moment.

[jaespur21]

Fuck it the Cowboys Won....no complaints here. if newman and henry were healthy we wouldve beat the patriots just like the cowboys beat the Colts last year...

[BeerIsGood!]

yeah. besides, them god awful lions beat the cowboys last yr if i remember correctly....have no idea how it happened since i was at a pistons game that day though.

Everybody was beating the Cowboys last year after Thanksgiving. Not a huge accomplishment last season.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

You're wrong.

The Cowboys are just as flawed as the Packers are. They made be a tad better due to the fact that their running game is more consistent, but they are very similar teams.

[BeerIsGood!]

You're wrong. The Cowboys have a more consistent and better QB at this point, a much, much, much, MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH better offensive line (that can't be stated enough just how much better the Cowboys O line is), a much better running attack, an infinitely better TE corps, the best overall WR on either team, etc.

The only thing the Packers have that is better is the secondary, and it's not that much different. The Cowboys lit them up like a christmas tree when they were actually playing the game with any focus at all. The Cowboys beat them playing their A game for a quarter and a half and their D game the rest of the way. Big difference.

[scott]

Did anyone catch Gumble refer to Tony as "Rick Romo"???

Good stuff.

[BeerIsGood!]

I didn't clarify. The Cowboys beat them by 10 with giving 2 1/2 quarters of the game away because Brett Favre got injured and they decided the game was over and effort/focus was no longer necessary.

[BeerIsGood!]

Did anyone catch Gumble refer to Tony as "Rick Romo"???

Good stuff.

Gumble couldn't even figure out which team was in which uniform. If you can't do that you can't do jack shit as a commentator. Also, I believe Marion Barber is the heart of the Packers offense.

[leemajors]

that was a godawful announcing team. gumble has developed a turkey neck, which is kinda sweet.

[pking]

Did anyone catch Gumble refer to Tony as "Rick Romo"???

Yea..:lol

Dude was horrible. I muted the game in the second half because he was so fucking annoying and ended up listening on the radio which was equally annoying because the radio was early.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Like I said, the 'Boys may be a tad better, but from what I saw tonight, the Pack can definitely beat them. They have to get healthy to do it, though.

[BeerIsGood!]

Like I said, the 'Boys may be a tad better, but from what I saw tonight, the Pack can definitely beat them. They have to get healthy to do it, though.

Anyone in the NFL can beat anyone else in the NFL - the fucking Raiders can beat the Pats on a given day. The Eagles with AJ suck ass Feely had the Pats on the ropes. That doesn't mean anything. Down the line - man to man - the Cowboys own considerable advantages over the Packers. That said, they still have to play smart and consistent to beat anyone they face on most nights.

The health excuse isn't air tight. The Cowboys racked up wins with both CB's injured, starting LB injured for first 4 games, a secondary that has never been at 100%, and the speed receiver and 2nd best receiver on the team hasn't played a down all year. The secondary was decimated against the Pats, maybe the Cowboys with a healthy secondary are the better team?

[BradLohaus]

I bet it's 40% Pack fans. It was close to that for the NE game.

There are alot of bandwagon jumpers in the world. The Cowboys probably have more than anybody; Pittsburgh has alot too, and the Packers have had alot in the Favre era. Indy and NE have alot these days.

[bostonguy]

After watching the elite Boston Celts kick ass tonight, I watched the rest of the pretenders matchup between the Cowboys/Packers. Out of those 2 pretenders Dallas is hands down the best team in the NFC. However when they have to face the best defense and offense in the nfl aka the New England Patriots come Febuary, they might as well call it a season. Pats are unbeatable. Plain and simple and it showed this Sunday when they played like shit and still won.

Not even a good troll. Whoever pulled this one out needs to retire it immediately. Pathetic trolling effort.

So they had a bad day against the Eagles. The D is fucking great and there isnt a D I would trust more than that. Go worry about your pretending non elite team. They dont belong in the Patriots class by any means.

[BeerIsGood!]

Dude, give it up. Make another troll, or at least figure out a way to give this one a fucked up Boston accent. You know, like saying caaaaa instead of car

They are also playing without Jason Ferguson.

[NBA Junkie]

With all the complaining there was about this game not being televised on a major network, it must have been a dud of a game.

I'm fine with not seeing it, knowing that all the important playoff games will be on FOX, NBC and CBS.

[Walter Craparita]

Cowboys are going to get raped in the Super Bowl.

[LEONARD]

Gumble should be fired...

That could be true, but I saw the game play out this way -

Wanting to attack Roy Williams, Favre got the freedom to "sling it" and proved what we've known for years...he's too old to "sling it" anymore. Aaron Rodgers came in and ran the Packers offense the way it's been run all year before this game, and they got good results from it.

Honestly, if Rodgers played the whole game (or Favre played disciplined like he had all year before tonight), I don't know if the Cowboys win. They definitely don't win by 10. Favre basically spotted the Boys 14 points with stupid throws that made zero sense.

I personally think the Cowboys are better, but the Packers proved to me that they're alot closer to Dallas than I originally thought. Add KGB & Woodson and that's a completely different game.

[Spurminator]

As bad as Gumble was, the quote that made me laugh the hardest was when Collinsworth said, "DeMarcus Ware is such a tool." Anyone else catch that? I rewound that part four times.

[Extra Stout]

So what's up with BG? Is he color-blind? Senile? Both?

I did...too funny.

[monosylab1k]

How does Cris Collinsworth have a job with basically every network that carries football? He's got the NFL Network gig, the NBC gig, the HBO gig....is he really so great that he needs to invade every football broadcast on TV?

Don't know but he really needs to go away.

[johnsmith]

Collinsworth: The Packers don't stand much of a chance with Rodgers in there.


Collinsworth (five minutes later, when Rodgers throws a touchdown pass): That was a sophisticated little drive that Rodgers just put together, congratulations.



THe congratulations part is what killed me.

[NBA Junkie]

The Packers should seriously consider trading Rodgers for something while they still have a chance.

There's no way he'll ever see the starting job in GB as long as Favre wants to continue playing.

I figure that to be until at least 2015. :lol
