Re: Madden NFL 12 Team Ratings - NFC North

Once again, that's I love Packer fans. Don't go hide yourselves when your in 3rd place in week 6 and then jump back on as a fan if you turn it around. By the way, not a NFC North fan, I just like the Cubs, not from Chicago at all.

Yeah, ok all Packer fans are fair weather fans like Cub fans. Didn't notice how much hatred their are for winning teams. A team wins the SB for the 1st time in 15 yrs and there is hatred.

Well, at least Packer fans don't have to say, Wait till next year every year or worry about goats and have Steve Bartman type fans.

Is the Vikings score with McNabb joining the team?

Without.

All people need to do is wait for day 1 rosters and it might change.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Team Ratings - NFC North

Some of these arguments are pathetic. All that matters is:
1. The Packers are the WORLD CHAMPIONS. Deal with it.
2. They beat the Eagles TWICE in one season. 2 opportunities at showing your superiority, and neither happened.
3. 3 Game win streak on the road in the playoffs with the most players on the IR. Remarkable.
4. Their passing attack versus the Steelers, the best defensive team in the playoffs, was basically perfection. Should of had 400+ yards passing if some WRs had better hands.
Going by last season's performances, the Packers are the top dogs. End of story. Now does that mean they will be the best this season? Probably not. There is a lot of turnover in the NFL. Eagles are probably the preseason favorite, but NO team has EVER bought a Super Bowl. Just look at the Redskins every year and the Jets of last year. Oh, and go Bills.

zThere ya go, start talking about baseball now and my team. Really compelling arguement on the goats and Bartman.

Ask David Akers why the Packers beat the Eagles twice.

Your opinion was just as compelling.

Yeah, Akers lost both games for the Eagles. The Packers weren't the better team both times.

Why do you think the Eagles loaded up in the secondary. Rodgers ripped them apart for 3 TD's in the playoffs.

Kickers never win or lose games for you. No team should ever leave it up to kickers to win games nor blame them when they lose.

I meant no disrespect to THE GB Packers. They were lucky and had a lot of things go wrong for other teams, and themselves. I was just stating I love GB Packer fans after their team has success. Don't want to stray this topic away from what it was intended for, which was simply discussing the ratings of the NFC North and none others. Peace

Re: Madden NFL 12 Team Ratings - NFC North

Yeah it was really lucky that we had ryan grant, jermichael finley, morgan burnett, nick barnett, mike neal, just for a start, all get injured early in the season. Not to mention we lost Charles Woodson and Donald Driver very early in the Super Bowl, and yet we NEVER TRAILED in the game. Lucky...give me a break.

The way McNabb played in Washington, Minnesota's overall will probably go down after McNabb is added to the roster.

Can you please state why you think the Packers were lucky? You throw out some weak excuse that David Akers singlehandedly won the Super Bowl for them. You give them backhanded compliments then follow that with thinly-veiled accusations of them being "lucky". Then, you go on to rip Packer fans for being fair-weather. I couldn't disagree with your post more. You obviously have some deep-seated issues with their fans and/or are jealous of the team's success. If you could further elaborate on your point, it would be much appreciated. If not, no one's going to take your opinion very seriously.

Actually, I would say McNabb might do ok in Minnesota. I think the offense in Minnesota, players in general is much better than in Washington. Also, the style of play fits McNabb, he won't have to be great, just not turn the ball over, which in league stats, he's the best player active at QB.

I said the Packers had a lot of things go wrong. I'm not talking about injuries really. The Saints were the luckiest team in 2010, they won the Super Bowl, the Packers were in 2011 they wont the Super Bowl. It's how the game usually works, besides when the Patriots were undefeated and lost, although I can't say I watched many of their games so I don't know. The reason I say Minnesota, GB, and Chicago are all equal is that this division is so tough that, whoever get's off to a hot start could win it. I think having AP and a solid defense is enough to put Minnesota in the category, and without Brett Favre they could be "ok". The Bears have a good run game as well and one of the top defenses. And of course, the GB Packers are the NFL Champs. By no means do I ever say a team shouldn't have won, I just said they were lucky in some circumstances. Don't get me wrong, they battled through without doubt, the toughest series of injuries I've ever seen to win the league.

Actually, you fired the first round by saying Packer fans were fair weather fans. Sorry, but that doesn't start you out on good ground when you have Packer fans that are die hard Packer fans. The wait list to get season tickets at Lambeau is more than 50 yrs. Are you going to call out Packer fans as fair weather fans knowing that. You don't know me and other die hard Packer fans here, so, I'm saying what you called us is very far-fetched.

You either bleed green and gold around here or you don't. There is no in-between.

Never said you disrespected the Packers team(you did zing them again though by calling them lucky), where we are coming from is you disrespected the fans.

I actually do know a ton of Packer fans, of course die hard fans are not fair weather fans, I am a die hard Cubs fan and I still watch every game, all 9 innings no matter how bad it is. I do the same for my football and basketball teams. From the Packers fans I know, none of them could care less when the Packers are losing, only when their winning. My comment about Packer fans was actually fueled by Facebook, might have gotten me a little tied up because of some recent Facebook comments. Darn Facebook!
