Joe Buck is the Harlot if Green Bay is the Beast, we all know that much.

He is the most aggravating announcer in sports.

This is a fascinating point of view, Packers fans despise Buck and Aikman as much as any in the league, especially the latter.

No one is saying you guys like him but when Buck comes to town to call a Packers game I have to believe those poor ticket holders at Lambeau under him must need an umbrella for all the drool.

So I've been reading up on the Packers, on their message boards and a couple articles. Sounds like on offense their receivers have no speed, and obviously they have no running game, all they have is Rodgers. On defense they've been pretty much a disaster, so maybe my confidence in the Vikes chances is increasing.... which never turns out well.

On a scale of 1-10, how Minnesotan was that?

It depends on if they run a hurry up. Everything I have been reading says the offense is night and day different when their reviled OC calls the plays versus when Rodgers calls them at the line. Rodgers lights it up when he calls them.

Our Defense was number 1 in the league heading into the Denver game, not quite a disaster. Our Rushing offense was top 5 for the vast majority of the season as well.

To balance that though they've generally been in hurry up while behind, late in the game. The worst offenses in the game can look good in hurry up against prevent defenses.

This isn't true, our no huddle has been quite underwhelming.

Also, our OC does not call the plays.

We haven't gotten much prevent this year, even against Carolina they were daring us to pass well into the late 4th quarter.

Most Packers fans would counter that Aikmans irrational hate for the Packers would balance such a thing out, I really don't see it on either end, tbh.

If the OC doesn't call the plays, and MM said he won't take over calling the plays, who does?

A guy named Bill. He spends most of his time hunting. You can see him in the stands on game days wearing Green Bay Packers thermal clothing.
