Fire Matt LaFleur NOW

Forget trying to learn from Chicago games last year its like neither have been acknowledged by the Packers. 22 points by the Vikings in the span of 3:00. And it all started with the decision to take points off the board and botch a tush push (didn't have anyone pushing Love). Sure cry about the refs all you want for three gift wrapped penalties the ensuing drive. Also I'll throw Gutey here for not doing anything with the O-Line. There is no way Love will survive 17 games behind that O-Line before getting injured. 4 Sacks in the second half, and he got hit 11 other times in addition. And when it rains it pours. The sequence after taking 22-10 lead

  • Give up large kickoff return, leading to Viking TD
  • Drive down, kick FG but since Vikings were offside chose to go for it wiping the three points off, then run a horrible play
  • Vikings go the length of the field aided by three defensive penalties on third down (Two of those were refball the third wiped an interception), and score a TD.
  • Love gets strip sacked on back to back plays, the latter resulting in the Vikings recovering on the 1, score next play
  • Love throws a pick that is deflected off two Vikings, Pierre runs it to the 14, Vikings score again.

I don't know if I ever seen a coach get fired week 1 but the case is there. Matt LaFleur needs to be left on the tarmac. This is now six straight losses dating to last year including playoffs of which four of those six games were double digit point leads blown. Also I haven't even mentioned this was to a backup QB as the Church of Carson Wentz is back in business. I'm dead serious we might actually lose to the Jets next week. Actually wiped a rare decent game from Keisean Nixon of all people.

Also bonus unrelated his brother knocked me out of my survival pool, but that's actually well done by the Cardinals. Fuck you Spanos.

Congrats Indigo Stars!

Or should I say Indigo Spurs. You blew a 34 point lead in the standings, a 13 point lead into the finale, only to take dead last in the finale. The second biggest blown lead in marble history.

On the bright side you do get 2nd overall which means your first ever podium and autoqualification to next year but damn does it hurt for the Stars fans. Also it allowed a historic champion, the Pinkies have successfully buried the host curse and won their second title! There will be a massive celebration tonight in the Ampinktheater.

Congrats Spurs (2026)!

Not once, not twice, not three, but four different times you choked a Finals game away. The Knicks rallied nearly every time. Leads of 14, 12, 29(!), and 16 blown in a span of five games. You honestly could've swept the series. Now you might never recover from this loss. 0-3 at home in the Finals. Also Fox needs to go. You can leave Sacramento but you can never let Sacramento leave you.

Congrats to the Knicks on ending a 53 year legacy of failure. It's been 15 years since any New York team won a title and I feel this one is going to be an epic parade.

Congrats Anthony Becht & the Battlehawks

You still cannot get past the semis. What’s funnier is that the Battlehawks fired Becht last season and he goes to Orlando and both teams (Battlehawks & Storm) have the same exact ending, losing to a team you beat earlier in the season at home. The more things change the more they stay the same. That’s now three straight years for each of you.

Congrats Wild (2026)

After finally breaking through against Dallas nonetheless you completely shit the best against Colorado (tbf a way better team). Worse you go up 3-0 in an elimination game only to get 7 shots from the 2nd period onward and blow it to lose in OT. Kaprizov went MIA (1 shot in g4 & g5), Quinn Hughes is likely joining his brothers in New Jersey. Here’s the kicker, he actually got closer to a cip in Vancouver than Minnesota (only by two games but still)

I don’t care if this was the first season we won a series since 2015 just for this game alone Hynes should be fired. And for the record I could’ve scored a power play goal against that penalty kill and I have a crooked foot and never ice skated. Wild probably won’t recover from this game.
