<p>A nugget from the Carolina Panthers GM on Sirius radio a while back that shows how hard it is to consistently win the NFL:</p>
<p>How many teams start 2014 coming off four consecutive winning seasons?</p>
<p>Two. The Packers and the Patriots. And the Packers just squeeked in with a record of 8-7-1 last year. The Patriots have 13 consecutive winning seasons.</p>
<p>The Packers have Rodgers, Lacy, Peppers and Matthews but they are also missing their starting center and nose tackle. They will probably adjust OK and do well at home but I pity the rookie center and Century Link tonight. I would expect some issues with the snap.</p>
<p>Or, xiggi, perhaps his no-nonsense style will appeal to parents who want to send their kids someplace safe where they will be expected to behave in a manner consistent with the opportunity afforded them. I’m telling you, here on the ground, everyone I know is deee-lighted there’s a new sheriff in town. </p>
<p>@interesteddad thank you for that</p>
<p>@saintfan loving the avatar as well</p>
<p>Now in a rush to finish all my homework so I can get to FOOTBALL!!!</p>
<p>Finished today’s work and settling in for football. Go Hawks!</p>
<p>Hard to believe that the season is starting already.</p>
<p>Almost there! The dog has her jersey on and had eaten pizza! Yep . . . we’re ready for some football! It’s a perfect September Seattle evening. B-) </p>
<p>Go Packers! Get some TDs tonight DuJuan!</p>
<p>Clay Matthews is looking like a beast as usual. Julius Peppers having trouble with a rookie? Now we are getting a glimpse of why Seattle got Harvin in the first place. Also, Packers special teams do not look prepared at all. I mean unusually fuzzy even considering its the first game. Anyone else’s thoughts?</p>
<p>My opponent has Wilson. I wanted that to be an interception. But to get through the first with potentially no fantasy points for Wilson? I’ll take it.</p>
<p>Hope that he doesn’t explode in the second half 
^
But that was such a great play by Miller, objectively speaking</p>
<p>Yeah, we knew that couldn’t last.</p>
<p>Smh at the Packer’s Defensive</p>
<p>Commute was a breeze today!! Go Hawks! Thanks for clearing out the town. :)</p>
<p>I wish my opponent had Aaron Rodgers. Ouch. </p>
<p>Go Hawks!</p>
<p>There’s a couple Packers fans here.
Did you see me on tv?
I took a pic of Soundgarden but not Pharrell.
I figured Jason Tang would post lots.
It was very organized, considering the madhouse at the Super Bowl parade earlier this year.
The bus was great. I wasn’t quite to the stop but the driver saw my #3 shirt & guessed I was going to the game & waited for me.
:)</p>
<p>I"m glad that Coleman got a TD. We met him at a benefit and were so impressed with him - what a nice guy!</p>
<p>Yay!!! keep up the momentum. </p>
<p>Seeing as how the title includes a well know NFL tagline, I kinda thought this was an NFL football thread more or less. 
I wouldn’t prevent anyone from discussing any football if they want to. There is, however, a "How did your college team do? thread as well. At any rate . . . I’m pretty sure that between us all we will be successful in keeping it alive (even if I’m just talking to myself half the time) 8-} </p>
<p>So @xiggi - are you going Dallas or Niners this weekend? I am firmly in the Cowboy camp for this one. Then my Denver antipathy and habit of rooting for Luck to represent the Pac-10 on a national stage has me pulling for Indy.</p>
