The ONLY reason I watched this was because my (CLUELESS) step-son is visiting for the weekend.
It was the most retarded thing I’ve ever seen in my 56 years of being a Packer fan.
Oy! *Rolleyes*
Lol !!!
The NFL is a total cock-up. Just within the past week....
That guy who refuses to wear the new helmet...
The Jay-Z kerfuffle.....
Kicking StevecRoss off of some kind of social justice committee because he hosted a fundraiser for Trump....and Ross is the founder of the committee..
The screw-up in Winnepeg....
But the stupid owners think the sun rises and sets on Roger God-ell.
Hard to give up the NFL, but I’ve done it. Still look through the windows.
Did anyone kneel for the Canadian National Anthem?
Roger Goodell is quickly and single handedly destroying the NFL, but the dumb ass owners ended up giving him a 5-Year $200 million extension anyway.
YouTube has 6-11 minute highlights so you get the flavor of the game, ,I did not catch the reasons for the shortened field and wondered what in the world.
I'd rather give out 439 McDonald's $1 cheeseburgers to strangers.
Of course there could still be low-tax on food so another $22.
But hey, I don't have $439 for a seat at a game and I sure wouldn't spend it on the NFL.
I guess only the chicken sandwich is a $1 now. (went thru the drive thru last night).
Tomorrow I make tacos. Got my 80/20 (not on a great sale but hey). Fresh tomato, diced white onion in the meat, some picante for flavor. It's all good. Top with shredded lettuce and shredded cheese. Oh yeah baby.
And I've got a package kale salad which I'll toss with mayo and a bit of ranch. Just for fun, a few squeezes of the lime and I'm gonna dice a Goldencrisp apple in there. Yes, I'm experimenting.
I'd much rather do that tomorrow. /rant
If they shortened the field by 20% shouldn’t that also have applied to the penalties?
The field was torn up at the ends (holes covered with turf) and the coaches didn’t want their players getting hurt
Man, what sort of Chinese arithmetic did they use to come up with that? Or did a Canadian goose fly overhead and crap it into the rule book?
Oh, Canada.
Then you see the Texans’ starting halfback, an All-Pro last year, tear his ACL on the first play from scrimmage and you begin to understand why teams are getting scared to play their starters.
17-minutes of play
They should have converted a 110 yard field into a 100 yard surface. But the idiocy is that they really didn’t have to move the goal post anyway. By shortening the field 10 yards which is the size of an NFL end zone, and that the Canadian posts are on the goal line and not the back line, they just had to leave one alone and reline the field. The other could have been posted but as it is preseason, they could have remarked the ball in the red zone of the other end when they needed to. And they never would have been playing in the Canadian end zone where the holes were.
Funny thing is there was never anything said about the difference in the width of the field. Canadian in 65 yards, NFL is fifty. So they would have had to reline the side lines and hash marks also if this was a legitimate game. But it’s preseason and they don’t care who wins. They just want to lie to the public and sponge money.

Well, at least we still have Bart, Paul, Jimmy, Ray, Kramer, Fuzzy and of course Vince! (Not enough room to list ‘em all!) and the rest of the REAL Packers! Greatest overall team ever! Otto’s 1950’s came close tho.
