You're making me laugh with your ESPN talking points. Why do people not worry about the Spurs when they "lose a bunch"? Since when do the Spurs lose a bunch? They continue to win because they have a good coach and their players perform well, not because of their history. WHY DON'T YOU GET THIS? No one picks them to win because they won a championship in 2007. IF they pick them it's because they think they're the better team THAT SEASON. Please try and understand this.
The defense was still mediocre at best I'm sure it was hard for the Packers to play in those conditions as well. No one is used to -10 weather.
Even the most mediocre defense can be amazing if they're allowed to hold the shit out of your receivers
That and Kaep was really struggling. No denying he could have easily thrown 2 more picks if GB could catch.
Kaep has been struggling all year because the Niners are trying to transition him from a zone read guy to a pocket passing QB. That's not an easy transition to make, but long term it's a better move for his health and for the team. Look around the league and it's pretty obvious that the very best QB's are not guys who scramble all the time. Manning, Brady, Brees, and Rodgers are all traditional stand-in-the-pocket quarterbacks. Kaep is more dangerous right now as a scrambling QB, but it's a dangerous game, which could very easily derail his career. RGIII hasn't been the same since he went down last year. If I was Seattle, I would be worried about Wilson as well. Yes, they're dynamic guys and they're extremely dangerous as runners, but having watched Steve Young end his career because of numerous concussions, I know it's something that can quickly take a toll. Kaep will continue to struggle until he either adapts, or the team decides he can't become a pocket passer. He has the arm, but does he have the smarts? I guess we'll see.
No they weren't. They lost the best QB on the planet for several games. If it's so easy to go in and win in such an environment like the Niners did, why does everyone else on the planet feel differently from you?
Yeah, but the Packers are far more used to playing in brutal cold than most teams. It's no different for the teams in the NE. Like one team has won a regular season game in New England after November over the last several seasons. It's harder to play in that environment; it's even harder for teams not used to playing in that environment to visit someone else's stadium and win. Why do you think there were a ton of analysts and fans crying about the 2014 Super Bowl when the location was announced?
It's funny that your opinion varies greatly from most of the analysts. That being said, I said Kaep wasn't as good against GB as some are saying. But he wasn't "really struggling". That opinion right there just shows how badly you're trolling and how biased you are. But those traits are pretty obvious from all your Blazer-related posts.
$260/seat, but I could've gotten worse seats for $170 or standing room for $130. Prices seem to fluctuate some and I'm sure the prices are different now. My seats are on the 40 yard line, about ten rows up in the second deck. Pretty good seats to watch a game.
NFL tickets are so expensive. I think pro sporting events, in general, are getting out of hand. They're pricing the average fan right out of the market, when it was the average joe that made pro sports what they are. Pisses me off. I think the major leagues need to take a hit, and I wish fans would boycott to set them straight. Apparel is too expensive. Tickets are too expensive. TV packages are too expensive. I think something needs to be done.
For NFL, if they drop the blackout rules the teams will likely have to lower ticket prices to keep attendance up. Or think of some other way to entice fans to come to the stadium vs watch at home. Not as drastic as an all out boycott, but it could help.
I just think it's sad that something that was conceived to be entertaining to the "every man," has progressively become more and more expensive to the point where many people simply can't afford it. The gladiators from the Roman age were for the lowest class. That's why the Coliseum was built. Now our arenas are leaning towards the wealthy. The food, the seats, the apparel are all so expensive at a game. It's disappointing that the corporate side of pro sports is slowly pushing out the people who have continued to support them for decades and decades.
