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.
