Am I crazy, here?!

I want the Packers to destroy the Falcons by at least 50 so that team and their fickle fan base can get a dose of reality. All offseason the media hyped that team up to expectations they won't get. I want any confidence the Falcons had about this season to get wiped out this Sunday

No way do I want the Failclowns to win that game. I hope the Packers beat 'em down and maybe put couple of guys on the IR for good measure.

I don't see the Packers going 16-0 with their schedule. W9 at San Diego; W12 at Detroit; W16 vs Chicago and W17 vs Detroit could all go against them or at least one of them.

Also, maybe an upset in W10 at Minnesota (overconfidence) or W13 at NYG... who knows, but the fact remains that they still have hard games ahead and it only takes couple of mental errors to decide a close game.

Not only do I want the Packers to beat the falclowns, but I also want them to destroy them. I want the falclowns beaten so bad that it destroys their morale for the rest of the season. Then I'd like to whoop the Packers in the NFCCG.

we cannot in all seriousness pull for the failclowns , i personally hope the GBPers beat the living snot out of the clowns. they need to be put in there place and have fits heart checked out during the game. they will be looking for draft picks by week 10, oh thats right there out of that too.

NOS2SB · 10-07-2011, 11:25 AM

I'll never pull for the Falcons. Neither will I pull for the Packers. I hope they end up in a tie.

If the Pack is up on Atlants by 5 scores in the 4th, I'm hoping and praying they score again, and again, and again.

I understand all the hate for the 'clowns...believe me, I do. But sometimes you have to "take one for the team"...so to speak.

We need GB to lose 1 more game then we do...for playoff homefield hopes...as I'm sure the OP meant to but forgot to point-out.

I will not be pulling for the 'Clowns to win the game (in other words, I won't be standing in my chair and cheering everytime they score...), but more for the game to end in a way that will be beneficial to the Saints and give us a chance of not having to play for all the marbles in GB. Right now we have Atlanta where we want 'em...below us. I want homefield advantage, too.

Just my $.02, though.

That makes no sense. Yea we need GB to lose, eventually, but we need to secure our division first and most importantly. If Atlanta wins they will have a tiebreaker against us. You never want to give a division opponent an advantage. Especially before we have played them. Whichever team wins it will help us, but Green Bay winning will help us more. If the Falcons win, then at least we can take something positive away from it, but it is in our best interest to the Falcons to win.
What if a key player gets hurt (without naming names) and we lose a few because of that players absence and have to play lights out toward the end of the season to catch up? We would be screwed if the Falcons lucked out and beat Green Bay. If it were later in the season, yea I would pull for the Falcons, but its WAAAAYY to early for that.

To me it makes perfect sense. Atlanta looks a lot more beatable than GB who has already beaten us and hold that tiebreaker. Unless you're happy with going through GB to get to the SB, you better hope that someone can step-up and beat them...at least twice. We couldn't get past Seattle in Seattle last year...how we gonna do on the frozen tundra?

I'm gonna take a line from Moneyball and change it a little to fit my purposes...

Like and a Rep for you, LB!!

If you follow my posts I am for max points and max wins. NO game is a "we could afford to lose that one" game.

Honestly, I'm more frightened of a losing Falcons team than I am a winning Falcons team. When they play with nothing to lose except pride - we lose.

Great point on your part, but POINT TAKEN; I'm crazy...
