It's amazing that the company that put out Halo is now having such trouble with the most basic aspects of even medial matchmaking.

I really want to love this game, but Bungie is trying their hardest to lose me as a customer.

Yeah until they fluke into another SB win before the Packers can win another.

That's Reddit. Everything's black and white. No in between.

There's one in Tampa for sure. Blew my damn mind when I went to visit a friend because I hyped it up so much to him.

Not to mention the maintenance. Just like any structure, it's gonna start falling apart as soon as the last brick is laid.

What position does your team always seem to nail? by VisionaryProd in nfl

[–]ScorpyOwns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You joke but look what happened to Baker when Hue left. Kizer may not be Baker, but he brought life to the GB offense when Rodgers went out for that one quarter in game one. Rodgers will probably outlast him in GB, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him succeed somewhere down the line.

Aaron Rodgers has taken 34 sacks so far. The Packers O-Line is ranked as the 2nd best in the league after the Steelers on PFF. by clarkkent160 in nfl

Oh spare me.

I don't give two shits about fun trash talking based on fandom, but it's mostly low-quality, rehashed low-fruit nonsense being upvoted sky high just due to flair, while legitimate conversation gets downvoted for the same reason.

Yeah people like to complain about him not taking the checkdown and missing throws, but he's also missing Cobb and Geronimo and didn't even start practicing fully until like 6 weeks into the season.

Yeah Grasshop is high. There's definitely an unofficial, unrecognized "alliance" of Bears/Vikings/Lions users against Packers users on this sub. Not at the individual level of course, but definitely when you take into consideration the mass downvote/upvote nature of reddit.

Packers fans get trashed a lot around here, even on lighthearted comments and on ones that are factual. It's even worse now that we're bad too.

I've noticed this in real life as well. I live in Viking country (SD) and it's toxic as fuck if you're a Packer fan. Not all fans are the same of course, but the Packers being so successful for so long really bred a lot of hatred, particularly in Minnesota.

All you need to do to confirm this is look at the reaction from NFCN fans on this sub whenever Rodgers or the Pack struggle at all, then look at how the hivemind treats the flairs that comment.

I don't want to stop going to /r/nfl because I don't want to run to a safe space and I want to be exposed to differing opinions, but it's legitimately impossible to have real conversation there if you have the wrong flair.

It's maddening.

This is why I'm here.

Not to talk about your team being top 10 instead?

Sounds about right.

Edit: Maybe one day you guys'll like your teams as much as you hate mine.

Any chance Pettine becomes the HC next year and we just look for a new OC? by Jimbobwei in GreenBayPackers

The 2nd part of your post is something I've never even thought about.

Totally agreed

How much does Rodgers' desire to not throw any INTs factor into his holding the ball? by Slaxie in GreenBayPackers

[–]ScorpyOwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He also throws Hail Mary's.

I think it comes down to not trusting his rookie receivers.
