Nah. Clarification opportunity. Threads like these help define who's in the 'I'd rather be right than happy' crowd, the 'I only come here when GB loses' stoolpot crew, the 'I'm only here to cause problems' cabal and of course the pure dum crowd. Nice way to make use of the time off from games.

Sorry, guys, but I can't think of a single thing.

Let me give my ex-wife a call and get back to this thread. It's a long shot, but there may be an outside chance she'll be able to remember something. If she really tries hard.

I thought that after reading this and IC's post I could actually avoid literally almost falling onto the floor laughing.

I thought Houston would be a contender after Week 1.

I thought people would give the Packers respect after beating the Jets, but the New York people don't.

Respect points don't count.

Only respect yards do...but only if they're on the ground.

I thought the invention of fire was an accident waiting to happen.

I thought the wheel was for squares.

I thought the horseless carriage didn't have a leg to stand on.

I thought Sybil was full of herself.

I thought Albert Einstein was to physics what Norman Theismann was to football.

I thought the term was "a croc of sh*t" rather than "a sh*t in crocs".

I was wrong thinking that Tom Brady was a flash in the pan in 2001.

IC

I was wrong that they would IR Starks. It remains to be seen if I was wrong that he doesn't know the playbook well enough to do well -- but I'll gladly eat crow if he plays and plays well in the next, oh, two weeks.

I was blissfully wrong to think this team was toast after the fifth guy went on IR. Hallelujah!

A&M started two Frosh OTs this past weekend. Like I said, I was wrong.

I though Bishop would not be an adequate replacement for Barnett, but I don't think anyone is an adequate replacement for someone named Barnett. Thank goodness I can wear a Barnett jersey forever, no matter if he plays or not.

I thought we would suffer at CB until Al Harris returned.

I thought we would lose 1-2 games (net) due to special teams, especially punting.

I thought the DLine was absolute toast after Neal went IR. Seriously, I was looking at 8-8.

I thought that betting lines meant something (e.g. Giants by 13 over Cowboys)

I thought I would never have Packer tickets that I would have to sell to strangers.

I thought I would get that job in Appleton, but finished first loser.

I thought Clifton would be out before Tauscher.

I thought we'd regret losing Aaron Kampmann.

I thought Chilly was the Head Coach.

I thought John Fox was a good coach.

I was wrong about TOG. He said he was different. Not like the rest. I believed him.

Turns out TOG is just like the rest of those self-centered, ego-maniacal, money-hungry, glory-grabbing pro players.

I thought AJ Hawk would be cut.

I thought the Vikings would be stronger.

I thought the Bears would be 5-4 at this point.

I thought Justin Harrell would make a meaningful contribution.

I was wrong for trusting the audience on when Thanksgiving was...

Credos for being man enough to laugh at yourself for that.

Good posts tonight.

I thought the Packers were in trouble after 3-3.

I thought Javon Walker was going to be an All-Pro after 2005.

I thought that Brett Bielema was going to fold again this year against IOWA.

I thought Ken Macha would be a good coach.

I was wrong.

quote:

I thought Sherman and TxA&M would suck again... they don't.

They have two quality wins this year including a home win vs OU. Sure they don't suck, but they folded in games just like his Packers team have including the OSU game where his QB Johnson look like Culpepper fumbling or throwing picks every time he touched the ball.

I, like some other posters have previously mentioned, was totally wrong about:

The Packers offense-was expecting something closer to "The Greatest Show On Turf".
Cliffy-I've been trying to replace him for a couple of years now, and he has turned into the Energizer bunny. Sorry, Chad!
Bush-I thought this was the year he would finally lose a roster spot. I may have to nickname him "Cockroach" (they survive everything!).
Lang-I thought he would be starting this year, or at least be a primary backup.
The Packers defense-I expected them to be dominant, but was wrong about how they would accomplish that. After the first 4-5 games, I was also expecting them to be terrible the rest of the year.
Harris/Bigby-I think just about everybody was wrong on Harris. I never thought Bigby would've played this year.

Lastly, I would like to admit I was wrong about keeping Sutton...but I can't. If he had made the roster and then flamed out, I would admit my error; all the while cursing TT and MM. But since that didn't happen, we'll never know...

I thought I had the patience to read every post in this thread

I thought Dallas, Houston, Cincinnati, San Diego and San Francisco would have better seasons. Oops.

I thought Chicago, Seattle, St. Louis, Oakland, Kansas City and Tampa Bay would have worse seasons. I'm a bit surprised they aren't at this point.

I thought that T.O. would not be able to find another NFL team to sign him and go to the CFL or UFL. Ochocinco obviously put in a good word for his boy.

I thought that Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy would have more trouble making the transition from NCAA to NFL. So far, so good.

I thought Michael Vick would still be a backup. Now, he's an early MVP candidate.

I thought GB Special Teams coverage would be major issue all year.

I thought Randy Moss to Vikes was 50/50 boom or bust. Turns out he was 99 to 1 crash and burn.

I thought Charlie Peprah was just a special teams guy.
I thought Desmond Bishop would be a liability.
I thought the offense would be a juggernaut out of the gate.
I thought the defense would struggle more than it has.
I thought the 49ers would be much better than they turned out to be.
I never saw Tramon Williams elevating his play like he has.
I didn't foresee the complete meltdown of the Queens happening so quickly.

I thought trading for Marshawn Lynch would be a good move.

I thought Chad Clifton had nothing left.

I thought the rash of injuries earlier in the season were going to leave us dead in the water.

I never thought Al Harris would be released, let alone Bigby being activated.

Sure as hell never saw anything for Starks other than IR this season.

Going back a couple years, I thought TT gave up way too much for CM3. Thought he overpaid for Woodson, too.

I thought we would get Joe Thomas for Bush, Breno, and Barbie.

I was wrong that the Packers could still go 14-2.

One could argue you were right against Chicago.

Ok, I was wrong about TOG for many years. (I corrected myself prior to the kickoff in the NFCC game in 07.)

I was wrong to think that James Jones was a superstar in waiting. (JC though, the hands he displayed his rookie season!!!)

I was wrong about the vikes, I thought they would end the season between 7-9 and 9-7, (sometimes it is good to be wrong.)


I was absolutely correct about the cowboys. I did not think for a second they were good enough to be a contender this year. (Talent is one thing, developing it, making it fit together...that is a whole nother story. Oh BTW Romo is nothing bout David Krieg revisited.)

Thankfully, you(CB) didn't post what you were wrong about. Boris would be charged extra for the bandwidth.

I thought that taking 22 minutes of practice time in the pre-season wasn't a big deal.

I thought Jordy Nelson would play a key role in the passing game.

I thought the defense was toast.

I thought Dom Capers hair was real.

I thought Rodgers would have clearly shown himself the top QB in the game.

I thought respect didn't matter.

I thought Hawk would not do a positive thing all year.

I thought New Orleans would be dominant this year.

I thought that seven was a lucky number. Alas.

I thought we would beeyotch slap Washington and get beeyotch slapped by the Jets.

I was wrong thinking she was a good one to marry, (The first wife).

I was wrong to think the Bears D would suck.

I was wrong to think our offense would set all kinds of records this season.

I was wrong to think our defense was in complete shambles, (Thanks TT and Capers)!

I was wrong to switch over to gin and tonics at the Halloween party, (made the right choice on costume though).

I was wrong to think that the TT haters would admit they were wrong rather than just hiding out (and secretly hoping for disaster). Or that the TOG slurpers would admit their guy sucks (instead they not so secretly hope he beats the Packers).

I was wrong about a bunch of things.

I thought Rodgers would be having a better statistical season.

I thought Finley would be healthy and making the offense explosive.

I thought Grant would have a breakout season.

Those are the ones off the top of my head. I'll come back when I remember everything.

I was wrong about San Francisco, I thought they were building something on defense and had Gore and Davis as offensive cornerstones.

I did peg Atlanta eary in the season to be very legit. If Green Bay wins the next two games, at MN at Atl, look the f out!

I thought I was wrong...but I wasn't!

I have never been wrong. Not once in my live, you losers.

BRING UP JAMAL REYNOLDS AND AARON KAMPMAN! I DARE YOU, BRING THEM UP!

You came out of your closet with your shirt right after Esera Tualo.

I thought your sister would be better in bed.

I thought Bishop would be an instant target, but he's been a pleasant surprise. Not as good as Barnett, sure, but he's been a good fill-in.

I thought they'd miss Al Harris a lot, especially in the nickle.

I thought TT/MM wouldn't go in to the season expecting Jones to start at OLB.

I thought Lang would be the backup at RT.

I thought the D-line was toast when Neal went to IR.

I thought the fluffy Vampire craze had peaked.

I thought the offense would have to carry the defense.

I thought Tommie Harris would be a bust.

I thought KC would battle with Buffalo for the worst team in the league standing, and Saint Louis would be right there with them.
