Packers lose in Overtime

Recommended Posts

The NFL got what it really wanted anyway....NY vs. Boston...just like baseball. Let the hype begin......

When you look at it from a marketing standpoint they've got to be overjoyed the Giants won. Now they have a MAJOR market in New York compared to Green Bay, WI, population just north of 100K. GB has a lot of fans across the country, but hard to compare against New York, New York...the media capital of the world.

I actually think the media were salivating profusely at a Brady vs. Farve matchup. But then again, the NY vs. Boston will have plenty of hype.

Yeah, I'm sure they had all the promo's ready for that too. I think that's a hard comparison to make this year when you look at what each QB has to work with. You have Brady and a lot of the Patriots who have been to multiple AFC championship games in the past few years, and then you have Favre and the youngest team in the NFL who by all rights shouldn't have even made it as far as they did this year. Essentially a team vs. one old guy with some up and comers.

Now they get to pull out all the promo material they used for the past few years of the MLB and compare NY to Boston endlessly.

The NFL wanted Favre vs Brady. That is for sure.

There will be hype no matter what...after all...it is the Super Bowl.

Definitely........

I'll admit I was hoping for the Pack to make it to the Super Bowl and get crushed again!

Go Bison!.... grin.gif

Man if you calling 31-24 getting crushed (if thats the game your talking about), then what do call 41-0?? A close game??

I would call that a but whoopin, or an eye opener! The score reflected a close game, but the giants moved the ball alot better then the pack did!

I was referring to Pier's comment about getting crushed again in the superbowl if the Packers made it.

The Giants did come out to play yesterday and that was the difference. As much as I hate Eli the guy was very accurate throwing his passes and his receivers were catching everything that was thrown to them. Packers o-line didn't open running lanes for Grant, the d-line didnt get much pressure on the QB.

Good luck to the G-men in 2 weeks against the Pats.

I'm curious as to what packer fans think of Al Harris? I watched MN recievers in the dome this year running free behind him all game long but Holcomb couldnt get them the ball. Then Terrell Owens makes him look absolutely lost. Then yesterday it seemed as if all he had done all week was listen to media members call him a shut down corner and rather than play the game. He actually got picked on all day long and yet seemed to think he somehow should constantly get in Plaxicos face. He may be able to get physical with the "average" NFL reciever but i can't believe McCarthy came in with a gameplan that included Harris trying to stop Burress 1 on 1. I thought it was very predictable coming into the game that Burress would be free all over against Harris if the pack chose to cover him 1 on 1. I said it on a post on here that i thought Burress would be open all day long but didnt know if Manning could get him the ball in the cold. Harris can't cover a top tier reciever and in my mind if you are a corner that gets picked on in the NFC championship game than shut down corner is something that should never be attached to your name.

Yes I do call being a 12 point favorite "PACKERS" and trailing by 14 points in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl to a team that plays in a Conference "AFC" that had not won a Super Bowl in 13 Years getting CRUSHED.... grin.gif.... You betcha!

Al Harris should turn in his pro-bowl selection! I've said it a million times over the past 5 seasons.... He is by far theeeeeeeeee #1 most over-rated corner in the league! He is great at covering sub-par recievers and O.K. at average recievers but is constantly burned beyond that with any reciever with any abilities. And on top of that he's afraid to tackle!!!

And that from atrue Packer's fan! I wish he'd disappear!

People are bashing Favre, but no one is talking about Buress's 11 receptions... and which Packer was assigned to cover him.... There is the stake in the heart!

Good Luck!

I was disappointed in Al Harris for sure and for the coaches for thinking he could take Plax even though he proved he couldn't early and often.

I had been hoping that Eli Manning's career would not be a disappointment but it's tough to watch the improvements come at GB's expense.

Last April I was in Boston for work and everywhere you looked people were selling and wearing Red Sox gear but you would be hard pressed to find anything for the Pats??? Boston won't care about 19-0. For better or worse, GB had a record crowd on Sunday.

Al Harris is one of the reasons I would have liked to see the Packers in the Super Bowl. Only to see Randy Moss burn him all day just like he did for the Vikings.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
