I was going to post this, but decided that since Goff was going to be 21-20 in just a couple of days, i.e. after Thursday, I thought I’d wait until then. :wink:

Yeah, but would you have made a pretty table? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I always thought it was the stupidest thing we did letting Kramer go to the bears. He really did well here.

The two INTs in the playoff game was an overreaction IMO.

6

That George Teague INT was an absolute killer though.
I still have Favre to Sharpe nightmares from that game, how was he so open?

7

Kramer might have been better than many but not like he went to Chicago and led them to a dynasty.

I think they still needed an answer to get over those other great teams of the era.

8

He was a lot better than Rodney ■■■■■■■ Peete…and Andre god damn Ware

I do remember it. It’s tough when your best day on the job is also your first.

Yep I had high hopes after that game but it didn’t last very long

Munson and Layne are the only “real” starters in front of him. They other 4 are bench players.

I really dislike when Pitchers, Goalies, and QBs get credit for the W or the L. It is a team sport and it just feels wrong to isolate one position (even though it is the position of most impact) for the statistic.

That said, I am happy that Goof has revived his career here and he looks damn good with some notable exceptions…

I’ve been trying to tell people that Goff is the modern day Jim Ninowski.

16

You must not like Goff lol

17

I was just kidding. I had no clue that Ninowski even existed

18

Really? At least on radio it looks like Ford Field is filled with fans wearing Ninowski jerseys.

19

I’d buy one

Yeah, if you could go ahead and get that up to about .65, that would be great.

Also, what’s this I hear about you having problems with your TPS reports?
