The Packers Aren’t That Special Either
Posted in Sports on August 27th, 2009 by AdministratorEarlier Deadspin told us why Miller Park sucked, and now they’re letting us know about the beloved Packers as well. It’s the typical bashing you’d expect, but at least one is quite favorable.
3. All that said, they’re gonna be pretty good this year. Last year, the Packers went 6-10 despite outscoring the opposition by 39 points, the kind of statistical anomaly that foretells a quick turnaround. To accommodate Dom Capers’ 3-4 defense, they drafted giant DL BJ Raji and LB Clay Matthews, a son of NFL royalty. Offensively, the team is fucking loaded, with Aaron Rodgers consistently getting better and Greg Jennings an absolute beast catching every ball thrown his way. Jennings is both a deep threat and a skilled possession wideout, and Rodgers gets the most out of him. Ryan Grant is back and healthy. This is the team I picked to the win the Super Bowl this year. It’s less of a reverse jinx than it is me trying to look like a smarty pants fuckface asshole.
