NEVER EVER would I root for anyone in our division.  Any Packers fan that roots for the Vikings or Bears in the playoffs should be beaten senseless.

Anyhow, I am one fan that if the Packers are out of it I don't root for anyone in the NFC.  Out of jealousy I guess.

Well I have to admit, I rooted for the Vikings to beat the Seahawks in the 2015 playoffs.  My hatred for the Seahawks surpasses everything right now.  Those bastards will probably win it all again this year just to spite me.  I'm sure at some point I'll go back to hating the Vikings more, but I'm not at that stage yet.   

Not just this thread but in other post-AR, it's disappointing to the number of posters I considered "die hard" suggest they'll stop watching the Packers if Hundley doesn't play well enough or the D keeps failing, etc.  Are we really that spoiled and fair weather?  Does this bulletin board die after AR retires or we don't consistently make the playoffs?   Bunch of panty waists!

I can say I've been at the stage of hating the vikings ever since I started watching football games in the mid 1960's. I will never root for that crappy team, even if it would help the Packers. I would wonder how the Packers ever got themselves into a situation where they needed any help from the vikings, at all. As for me, I'll be wearing Green and Gold and rooting for the Packers always!

Right now it looks like the Eagles, Rams, Saints, & Vikes have the best teams in the NFC......of course a lot could change in the next 9 weeks. 

The vikings say Teddy Bridgewater may be back for week 10. Bradford is still nursing his injury, so Teddy may see some action if Zimmer rests Keenum. Could Karma rear it's ugly head at the vikings for Barr's clean hit on Rodgers? There is something in the air and it smells like grape crush.

Yes, I remember being laughed at as a Packers fan in grade school because Bart Starr was coach.  Layers of injustice there.

I had to deal with that from all of my relatives from Minnesota every holiday as a kid.  The year that the Steelers beat the Vikings in the Super Bowl I saved my allowance for probably 6 months to buy a Steelers sweatshirt just in time for them to see it at Thanksgiving dinner. 

Im still rooting for the Packers.  We’ve seen the Pack come back and crush the Queens/Kitties dreams unexpectedly at the end of seasons.  If Hundley can tighten it up a little on some of his throws offensively they will be fine.

Defensively it’s a shambles though.  Ted Thompson as I have been saying for years is responsible for putting together subpar talent and completely relying on maybe the greatest QB of all-time shining the turd of a roster that he puts out there.

Honestly, if they don’t make the playoffs this season, I wouldn’t mind seeing a complete gutting of the Front Office.  Im indifferent on keeping McCarthy.  I would take the temperature on what the players feel about him, but he has somehow seemed to get these guys to pull together in times of peril, I’m just not sure if that is just a product of Rodgers carrying the load or if he actually has some kind of calming influence there.  That being said, it’s probably moot a new GM would want to bring in his own hire.  You could see something like the purge that happened when Mike Sherman was here in his last season, but I think that would be a really hard sell with AR-12 to gut the team and rebuild through the draft.  You might see a medium effort to rebuild, while staying competitive, like the Bills and Rams are currently doing.   Trading guys this offseason like Hundley, Cobb, Matthews, Nelson, Bulaga, Bahktiari makes sense to me if you can find a willing partner that wont give you back pennies on the dollar for them (some discount is expected d/t contracts for some of these guys).  But I think you have to be open to trading some high priced vets that don’t wear #12.  If Hundley can show out a little and establish starter value, he could garner at least a high 2nd round pick (what the Pats got for Jimmy G.), maxing out at a 1st and a 3rd if he can have an excellent 2nd half.

I also would shut down Rodgers for the entire year, unless we’re looking at a chance to win the division in week 16 or later, unlikely, but who knows.  I wouldn’t screw with that injury too much given where we are and our seeming trajectory.

Why can’t this team just say β€œf**k it!” and win the damn thing anyway? Just F with everyone... ruin seasons, middle finger in the air to the entire NFC. Rodgers returns and its β€œoh sh*t” for the NFC. 

Why can’t this happen? Instead of disappointment why can’t they make us even prouder? It sure would be nice...
