Well we kicked joeys ass, so I would say that Ponder would've been a much greater challenge, especially since he beat us last week.

RGIII had no business being in the game after his 8-ish yard run on the gimpy leg. Glad to have Seattle win on the road and have a great chance to beat Atlanta.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

Yea that was def a poor decision, you gotta think about the future. But Shanahan does have a history for that kind of stuff. I would be cool to have seattle win so we could beat them at Lambo in the NFC championship.

You refer to the Packers alot as 'we' and 'us'. What position do you play?

It annoys me very much when people say this. Its not as if he's taking credit for what the Packers are doing. And is it so far-fetched that fans would consider themselves somewhat connected to the team, since the team exists to serve them? Particularly with a team as community-oriented as the Packers.

then we are both equally annoyed. It annoys me very much when something we are fans of we somehow think we are now actually a member of. Following the Rolling Stones on tour does not make one a member of the band. I consider myself completely connected to the teams I love, but would never be so presumptouos and self involved to consider myself an actual team member. Just because a Bud Light commercial implies you can alter the course of a game by how you hold your beer bottle doesnt make it true. I respect your right to be annoyed, as I also continue to be.

I dont think it has anything to do with being presumptuous or self-involved

Considering that, with many teams, fans pay for the stadiums that the teams play in, and also the fact that those that attend games in fact do sometimes directly affect what happens on the field, and the fact that fans support these franchises and indirectly pay these people's salaries with merchandise and gate reciepts and TV deals, I dont think its all that ridiculous, when you own a jersey and go to games and watch your team on TV, to consider yourself a part of that team.

Particularly in the case of the Packers, where the fans literally pay the player's salaries.

I accept your view as valid, I just disagree. If you ever work hard and accomplish something difficult, then have someone not involved take credit you will fully understand how I view this subject. As a rabid Dodger fan who goes to at least 20 home games a year (minimum) owns jerseys and lots of memorabilia, I just never ever elevate myself to team member and refer to the Dodgers as 'mine' or 'we', its disrespectful of the actual effort they put forth and the work they do imo. If anything they own me, not the other way around.

I am the official water boy for the Denver Broncos (I get many appearances on television as well). I believe that this counts as being part of the team, for I contribute to their success. We would not be nearly as successful if i wasn't on the sidelines, working my ass of, making sure everyone is hydrated.
