Fandom Are you watching the Packer game on Thursday?

Post image

This picture is from the infamous fail mary game, but it perfectly depicts the incompetence of the refs right now.

Like I mentioned in another comment, I’ve been watching Packer football since Halloween night 1994 and this past Sunday, was the first and only time I turned off a game we still were in a position to win.

With the Brewers on the brink of winning the World Series, I’m honestly a little ā€œsports’edā€ out right now.

But beyond that, these stupid refs are absolutely insufferable and they are ruining football. I can’t be mad for 3 hours watching refs that nobody is there to see, make themselves the focal point of the game.

The team has been playing okay overall. But MLF with his decision making, Smack not being able to do his one and only job, the receivers and their drops and the nonstop mental errors is just too much to enjoy right now.

I never thought I’d get here but I’m so ā€œmehā€ about Thursday and football in general. How are you guys feeling about the Packers and the direction the NFL is going in general?

News [Demovsky] Matt LaFleur had a different answer to the weekly ā€œWill Micah Parsons practice next week?ā€ question. ā€œI sure hope so.ā€ Previously it had been a hard no, but LaFleur said there’s a chance Parsons could practice next week.

Fandom 2026 Packers Opponent Burger Series- Week 8- Carolina Panthers

68 Upvotes

For this week we have another simple, but good burger, a pimento cheeseburger. For this burger I used a 6 Oz patty on a potato roll over lettuce and beefsteak tomato. For the pimento cheese, I used George Motz's mother's recipe that he includes in The Great American Burger Book.

  • 8 Oz sharp cheddar
  • 1/2 C mayo
  • 4 Oz cream cheese
  • 4 Oz jar of diced pimentos (drained)
  • 2 Tbsp hot sauce

I think the last time I made this I may have used too much cream cheese, because this version was a lot better balanced. I could taste the hot sauce. My complaint the last time was that it was a bit too rich, and the acid from the hot sauce was missing. This is another burger that isn't particularly elaborate. It's just good. My fiancƩe was a bit dubious about the pimento because she's adamantly anti-olive, but even she came around on it.

Because the pimento cheese was so thick, I left the fries thicker than I normally make them, and man, it made for some good dipping. I was pretty pleased with my decision to make this breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

We've been assigned Scott Novak's crew for this week who currently lead the NFL in penalties per game with over 20. Crazy work by the NFL after the past 2 weeks. Gonna be an uphill battle with this crew, really can't be having the missed kicks and drops again.

Analysis We're down two centers, Mekhi Becton is here, Zeitler still hasn't played, and Banks might be healthy. What the hell is our starting five?

Post image
98 Upvotes

John Williams stepped in at center Sunday and held his own considering the circumstances. Kudos to him. With Rhyan and Monk both sidelined, he seems like the obvious choice to start Thursday.

Meanwhile, we just promoted Mekhi Becton to the active roster. Kevin Zeitler is still waiting to make his Packers debut. Aaron Banks could potentially return to the lineup after playing 4 ST snaps Sunday.

Where does that leave us?

Morgan seems locked in at LT and Belton at RT. A shake-up there would be surprising. But the interior feels like just about everything is up for grabs.

Do we stick with Tomlinson and Glover at guard? Give Zeitler or Becton a shot? Does Banks immediately reclaim his starting job if healthy?

At this point, I'm not even sure what our best five looks like, much less who will actually be available Thursday.

What should our starting offensive line look like against Carolina?

Andy Herman has mentioned that we have less than $8 mil in cap space. As much as we wanted Nelson, we simply would not be able to afford him even if we have the picks. It would take some major contract restructures or cut a big contract to get anyone note worthy.

Good morning, Can I get a Go Pack Go?

I just wanted to spread some awareness for those still down about the Lions game this past Sunday I’m feeling even more optimistic about the Packers after that game and I’m going to tell you why. The Packers went into Ford field to battle a Lions team who was off a bye, healthier, and that was averaging 32 points a game. The Packers lost both their 1st and 2nd string centers and played a rookie guard who never took center snaps in the offseason (He played very well) They were without, Jayden Reed, Zak Bako Buwele, Newest addition Kevin Zeitler, Edge Cooper, Zaire Franklin, Jonathan Hargrave and Micah Parsons. Even with all that, the game came down to a last drive with the Lions winning by 3. We have all seen how bad the refs wanted the Lions to take that game…… All that was stacked against the Packers and they were in position to win anyway, they just didn’t execute (Two missed FG’s and a beautiful ball was dropped by Jacobs for a TD)

This defense held the Lions to 20 points and will only get better once Parsons is back along with Franklin. I have this gut feeling that they will be playing their best ball come December

All I’m saying is don’t hit the panic button. This team is extremely talented and will be in the mix at the end of the season. Call me a homer, but I know for sure that any other team with those things stacked against them lose to the Lions 41-10.

Ā 

What do you guys think? Are you out on this season, or are you still optimistic like me?

Analysis Officiating, from a rival

830 Upvotes

I’m a diehard Vikings fan, and generally don’t come in peace. With that said you guys are getting fucked over in ways I couldn’t fathom as recently as last year. I don’t get it. I’ve watched nearly every pack game this year. In week 1, I remember thinking we got at least 75% of calls that game and it sticking out as odd. We had several drives get extended by Ticky Tack calls (lord knows this offense needed them to function, too)

Then I watched the next week when you guys got all these phantom calls against you again. Then last week with the phantom RTP call(s). So many drive-extending calls against Green Bay. This week against the lions was a masterclass on one-sided officiating. What the hell, man? ANOTHER phantom roughing the passer call? What’s with the jumping offsides Lions dances? I started laughing because I figured they’d get called for team celebration and they’d pull a Lions and miss the FG by taking the neutral zone infraction, then moving back 15. But nope. All good, I guess!

I don’t mind seeing you lose, but not like this.

I’m not saying anything you all aren’t also screaming about, but it’s not just been one or two games, and it’s not getting better or regressing to the mean. This year’s NFC North is awesome and I don’t want it spoiled by weird officiating.

Analysis A Massive Issue

Thumbnail

323 Upvotes

The refs.

I am here to discuss the refs, the god-awful, blind as fuck, scatterbrained and inbred delinquents of society that the NFL employs, who should be jailed for what is clear and blatant rigging of NFL games for what is either personal bias or personal profit. In the words of X, ā€œA lot of shit that doesn’t make sense.ā€

There is a clear bias currently, and especially this year but in previous years since Rodgers left the team, against the Packers. Before this season, however, it was the regular things occurring with most teams: missed but clear as day holds and easy to call PIs that the ref crew simply thought was ’hand fightingā€˜.

This year has been egregious, however. You cannot touch the QB. It will be flagged. You cannot show extra effort and make sure a player is down. It will be flagged. Handfighting and taunting? Only a penalty if the Packers do it.

I do not agree that the Lions should be flagged for celebrating, but I believe that if one ref crew calls flexing an excess celebration that warrants a fine and flag, it should be called evenly across the league. Other leagues, like the NBA, have shown this as an issue and are working to correct it by outlying and outlining more clearly what should be points of emphasis in the rulebook. We hear none of this with the NFL refs.

At this point, I am considering watching only Packers games and ā€˜boycottingā€˜ the rest of the league (not that does much). Some action has to be taken: the product is the NFL is being cheapened out, and arrests need to be made eventually because there is clear gambling going on here. I am aware the Packers have many issues involving players and the team, but we cannot fight a battle both with the opponent and the refs and expect to win.

Go Pack Go!
