Keep on rolling Pack

You would think that Mr. Driver here would be down, but if you haven't seen the clip on SportsCenter or any other sports show he actually scores here.

I was worried after the 1st half.  The Pack was making stupid mistakes, the 49er's where keeping up and I was worried.  Being a life long Packers fan, and if your one as well, you know what can happen if the Pack doesn't pull it together.  Hell I've seen them up by 20 and still lose.  But we came out of halftime and turned it up a notch and no looking back.  And when all was said and done we pulled off a nice win at home.  Chilly too.  34-16.  Out scoring the 49ers 20 to 3 in the second half.

Unfortunately the Lions couldn't hold it together to win. So the Bears are still all alone on top of the division. It's funny to note that the Lions aren't really as bad as their record looks.  They've been putting a lot of points on the board the problems seems the finishing.  I'm just hoping that they lose at least one more next week.

And the buzz around the sports world is.. is Brett Favre done?  Probably not.  But TJ looks not great but alright.  It helps when AP puts up 3 TD's of his own.

Ding Ding.

Oh I'm planning on having a good week next week.  A three day work week followed by a 4 day weekend.  I'm 20 days from closing on my house.  The Pack is tied for first in the NFC north and we got Atari back.  Now to sweep the Viks Sunday and it'll be a super happy Thanksgiving for Charlie Brown.  Looks like Sydney Rice might make it back for this game to help make it interesting.  I've been jonesing for my Pack.  Last week was their bye week, the last bye week of the season and I'm hoping everyone got a nice rest and some good practice in.  I have to say the Packers-Vikings rivalry is probably one of the best in the NFL.  Now I know that the Packers-Bears rivalry is older and more ingrained but while I have no hatred for my cousins to the west I hate the Vikings.  I mildly dislike the Bears but I like deep dish pizza and rooting for the cubs with my fiance even though I'm not a big cubs fan I like the underdog and the cubs have been underdogs so long it's hard not to like them and they've got quite a dry spell going on there. And I've always wanted to go see a game a Wrigley Field.  It's funny I don't hate the Twins either as a matter a fact I find myself rooting for them all the time, especially this playoff season.  But for some reason I hate the Vikings.  I don't know why.  Yes it's infused in my Wisconsin blood, but seems highly unnatural.  Maybe it's Favre,who oddly enough I don't hate either,  must be what 16 years as a Packer god does to me.  I was glad he had a good season last year, but not so glad that he beat us twice.  So I'm hoping that we get to return the favor this year. 

As a practicing Cynicalbuddhist I find hate very counterproductive, yet somehow I allow myself to hate the Vikings.  But oddly enough I don't find myself hating the players or for that matter the fans.  I have many friends that are Vikings fans and we give each other an ungoddly amount of shit but there is no hate there. 

Other than that I'll either be a happy poster come Monday or a very angry poster and you wouldn't like me when I'm angry!!!!!

Week 9 45-7 Cowwho?

You might remember my rant a few weeks ago.  No that's cuz nobodies following this blog get on that!

Anyway, I declared the season over, my hopes dashed my dreams smothered, not that I'm a fairweather fan, far from it.  I'm just a realist.  But there is hope.  After shutting out the Jets last week, which, was a defensive job, seeing that we only got close to the endzone never in it, and routing the Cowgirls yesterday I have hope.

I'm glad Clay Matthews is healthy.  Now if we could get a few other guys back we might have a go at this thing yet.

I do feel bad about the late in the 2nd quarter non fumble TD but we didn't need it, although I'm sure it was a moral destroyer for the Cowboys, sorry Captain.  It really surprises me how bad the Cowboys were on Sunday.  I mean, yes Romo's hurt but you've got a hell of a back field and it's not like Kitna's a rookie, he's got quite a bit of field time. 

I will say this, that going into our bye week things are looking a little rosier. 

cb out.
