Green Bay VS St. Louis

Brett and the boys better not phone this one in. Seattle Seahawks are looking to get the bye week. If the Packers can pull off a win against the lowly St. Louis Rams, then they will get the Bye week locked up. Bubba Franks might come back from injury this week. I like the idea of another blocker, but Donald Lee is less inclined to drop the ball. This game is indoors, which is nice. Up here in Green Bay, the temps are in the teens, and it could beat up my Packers. Meanwhile Aaron Rogers needs another week to heal from his hamstring injury.

Packers 24 Rams 14

Packers waltz over the Raiders

I guess you could say that it looked close at half time, but the Packers had the momentum. Ryan Grant had 156 yards today. Jennings had another 80 yard TD catch. Favre had enough arm to get the job done. I'm sure he would have been pulled from the game if there was a back up to take care of the job. Donald Lee had a huge game again today. Sorry Bubba Franks, I don't think that they want you back. The only thing that would have topped today would have been a Dallas loss. Oh well, the NFC North has been won by my boys, the Green Bay Packers.

Keep winning, and get a bye.

Should Favre sit out the Raiders game?

The starting streak for Brett Favre is impressive. The team is also impressive enough for Favre to take a week off. This is bigger than a starting streak. This is about going into the playoffs strong. This is about a week off during the playoff run. Sit down Brett. If this shoulder doesn't heal up, or should Favre get hit again before it heals up, who's to say he's safe for the rest of the season? On any given day, one NFL team should be able to beat the other, but the Green Bay Packers are going up against the Oakland Raiders, then the Rams. Aaron Rogers should be given the chance to take the wheel for a game. I agree with Richard Stephan of BleacherReport "If the Packers win one more game, they're pretty much a lock for the second seed in the postseason.And they can—and should—do it without Favre." This is the time of the season when great teams rise above the injuries and keep winning. Perhaps Brett, you need another week to get better?

The ugly side of the Packer game

Brett had that look in his eyes. He didn't know what do do. Too many long passes. Too ugly.
In comes Rogers and he runs up 17 points to make it interesting. The game sucked. The Packers needed Woodson and others to make it close. I hate Dallas. Two bad calls: The non-interception in the first quarter, and the pass interference call in the third. Brett Favre will be ready for Oakland. The Packers can't phone this one in. They have to take their anger out on the Raiders. My prediction Green Bay 31 Oakland 17

Packers hard to view thanks to NFL network

I'm glad that I live in Green Bay. Drive one hour to the west, and you won't see tomorrow night's game unless you have the NFL network. I don't like going to a bar to see the Green Bay Packers. You spend too much money on food and drinks. Perhaps the NFL network could work out a state-wide deal, where the home team's entire state gets to see the game for free, and the rest of the world can pay the fee. Yes, Dallas fans are world-wide, so are Green Bay Packer fans, but hey this is crazy, paying to see the Green and Gold.

Big D in Dallas

Woodson may not be available. Jolly is out. KGB is iffy. Will the Packers match up and win this game in Dallas? It's about time. Favre hasn't one in Dallas. He's due. The road games have been easier this year, the Lions prepped the Packers to go up against a real team, it's all there for the taking. The stakes? Home field advantage, a bye week, respect. C'mon Pack, win this one in Dallas, and I can take a breath. Come home a loser, and we will see how the playoffs play out. No prediction for this game. I can't take the tension already. Go Packers.

Gift of a Packers win on Thanksgiving

The Packer game against Detroit had the same feel as last week. After a short screw up fumble, and a couple of field goals, the Packers put it into high gear, and sped past the Lions. Then after a while, the Packers let the Lions back into the game. One strong drive, and it's lights out. I guess that I should forget about all that and enjoy the win. Donald Driver had a record day of 140+ yards. Brett Favre broke the pass completion streak by connecting 20 times in a row. He was just 2 passes shy of the NFL record. Ryan Grant pulled off over 100 yards, and the biggest part of his game came in that field goal scoring, put the game in the bank, drive at the end. Now, the hype is big for the Dallas game. Very big. History shows that the past six times that two 10-1 teams wend head to head, the results were split right down the middle. Some won on the road, some won at home. I'm fired up. Go Packers! Get that playoff birth nailed down, and get the bye week, and finally get home field advantage. Until then, just beat the Cowboys.

A Packer win at Ford Field?

I'm making some of my Thanksgiving dishes today. I want to try to get in the TV room with the rest of the family to watch Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers take a shot at 10-1.

Ryan Grant is probable, Johnny Jolly is out for at least two more weeks. Too bad, he's batted down passes, and stuffed the run this season. I see that our corners were roughed up too. They are listed as probable as well. Will the Packers match up against the Lions and pull off a win? Favre has enjoyed a brilliant run. I feel the same way that Brian Hill, author of Over Time wrote on his blog "How wonderful to think that the topic of Home Field Advantage might once again come up during Thanksgiving dinner."

Steamrolling on to Detroit

Carolina had no chance. Vinnie had what, five weeks to learn the system? He's staying at a hotel across the street from the Panther's practice facility. He had no one to throw to. Peppers was the only bright spot. As for the Packers, I started to tune out once they put up a 25 point lead. A long drive by Carolina chewed up over seven minutes of the third quarter. Yes, they scored another TD, but it was never very close. Ryan Grant suffered a slight ankle sprain. He claims that he's good to go on Thursday. If the Packers win in Detroit, they only have to win two more after that and it's a lock. Playoff tickets should be printed up if they get out of Detroit with a win.

The Packers vs Panthers

It's no time for the Green Bay Packers to get soft. These are the games where you worry that the team might get complacent and not be prepared for the Panthers. The Panthers are an NFC team, other games in the schedule are going to be tough, so get the win this Sunday at Lambeau Field and go 9 and 1 before Thanksgiving. Speaking of Thanksgiving day against The Detroit Lions, how many dinners will be pushed back to after the game? All of them.

Packers crush the Vikings

First, let me say how surprised I was. The Packer win was astounding. How fun is that? Shutting out the Vikings for the first time in decades was so sweet. Pederson should heal up with no problem. Favre got lucky with that tipped touchdown pass. The defense got lucky with their own tipped pass that kept the Vikings from putting any points up at all. There was a third quarter stat that looked so sweet. Bollinger had only three yards passing. Grant had rung up 80+ yards before the second quarter. That's a run game. The Vikings were 10th against the run going into the game with the Packers. Great game. 8-1 is sweet.

Packers VS Vikings

Wow, The Packers go up against a record-breaking running back this Sunday at Lambeau Field.
I don't like the feeling I'm feeling. I'm going to the game. I have been watching them lose live lately. That Bears game comes to mind. I wanted to cry when the Chicago Bears pulled off that win. I think that the Vikings are desperate to win this one. I don't like the way that the O line has been playing. If I must predict a score, and I have to go with my gut, I'm going to be honest and say Packers 17, Vikings 31. Sorry. As principal Skinner says "Prove me wrong kids, prove me wrong."

Packers will a thriller in KC

Now Brett Favre has defeated every NFL team. That only took 17 years. The wide receivers help put The Packers over the top once again. They said that there were fifteen thousand Packer fans in KC. That's not surprising, because it seemed like there were thousands of KC fans in Lambeau the last time they played The Packers in Green Bay. Now, the big challenge will be holding the Vikings run game down to a reasonable level. It feels good to be 7-1, but 8-1 will be better. I'll have my prediction for the game in a few days. For now, enjoy the warm feeling of first place.

Packers VS KC Injury update

Scott Wells will be out for the next game. His sinus infection has turned into pneumonia. This all started from the eye injury. Despite being added to the Green Bay Packers' active roster on Tuesday, wide receiver Koren Robinson isn't guaranteed to be playing Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. His right knee was a little sore in the last several days of practice. He dropped two punted balls in drills last week, and I think that kept him from playing during the Broncos game. DeShawn Wynn is out for the season. His shoulder was numb after his first running play last Monday. Ryan Grant played well, and his only big screw up was that flipped play that he messed up. Favre took the sack. Will the Packers go 7-1? My guess.....yes. Packers 24 KC 17

A Green Bay running game and one heck of a throw

All I can say is wow. The Packers should have run the ball last night and they did. Who knows if they will be able to run against KC, but last night was a start. Who said Favre can't throw the long ball? That sick feeling in my gut went bye bye real fast. One 82 yard bomb fast. Favre is still the man. Yes, we should have run against the Broncos, but what about the passing. Favre tore them up. The two great Broncos corners looked pretty bad at the most important times. Atari, what the heck were you doing out there last night? If you weren't such a talented player, and if the Packers would have lost last night, I think you would have been on the next bus out of town.

Great job Packers...on to KC.

Big Monday night game in Denver

With the win by Detroit, the pressure is on for The Packers. Chicago's chances of making the playoffs just dropped below 39% with the loss to the Lions. I hate rooting for the Bears, but that would have been satisfying to see them beat Detroit. Even if the Packers split the next two games, that would keep things in good shape. But the split should start with a win at Denver, if they can't pull off two wins on the road. I got my tickets for the Vikings vs Packers tickets all lined up. I haven't been to a game since 2005. That was the 5 degree nightmare against Carolina.

Koren Robinson returns to the roster

Probably the second best receiver after Double D, Koren will add a bit of spice to the Packer stew. Will this help fight the Tampa 2? Probably not. That would require a solid run game. I don’t see much chance of the Packers’ running game improving unless the offensive line makes a drastic improvement during their time off during the bye week. Two weeks on the road coming up, and then the boys come home.

Tampa 2 and the Packers

Homework during the bye week was to figure out a way to counter the Tampa 2 scheme. A running game would help the Packers in that regard. If you get that running game going, the linebackers have to commit, the deep corners or safety players have to move up. Favre has no problem throwing the deep ball. Don't fall for that crud. The Packers should win this one on the road in Denver. 24-21

Defensive Duel in Green Bay

Thank goodness they pulled it out. The Packers squeaked by the Redskins. I don't know about you, but while I watched the defense in the second half, the Packers seemed to have the Redskins number. It was just terrible watching the missed field goal, the interceptions, the lack of a running game...again. OK, now it's time for a break. The Packers can heal up, and I can get some yard work done. Bubba, get that knee back in order! Go Packers!

Redskins VS Packers

The number one defense comes to Green Bay on Sunday. I have to say that I am confident that the Packers will give them a run for their money. The Packers have to go into the bye week 5-1. Boy, would that feel good. On a side note, I read that Ferguson stopped getting any action in the past two Vikings games. Hopefully Favre won't feel that way about Jones. Favre doesn't have that many options; he's got to pass the ball his way. No choice. Hold on to the ball and I think that Pack has this one in a close fashion. Packers 21 Skins 17.

Packer blog day one

I'm new at this, but I expect to find lots of things to say. First of all, congratulations on the Packers 4-1 start! Amazing! Too bad the Bears won the game though. It killed me to watch the end. Now the Packers go up against a strong Redskins team. I think that Packers Nation put it best when commenting on the Bears game "Turnovers, Turnovers, Turnovers, Turnovers, Turnovers. When a team has 5 turnovers there is a slim chance they could ever win."

You gotta' hang on to the ball boys!
