B... Julie wanted me to send you congrats on Favre's game today.

:mug:

Give her a big old smooch for me. But don't do anything more than that, I don't want you to fukc up your head before the beer festival. ;)
 
I'm not here to perpetuate the above; just to state from an individual performance that is awesome. Packers being 1-2 has nothing to do with Brett's perfomance (maybe a part of game 1). Unless he can play defense, special teams, run like Vick and play O-line as well we're still a sub-standard team on areas he has no control over.

Way to go Brett...
 
No bashing Favre boyz - but I don't like our chances this evening Dude :(.

This feels like the early 90's when we had to play Dallas every year at their house. Eventually Dallas came to GB but that was when they went down hill. Why are we always traveling to Philly over the last 3 years?

Oh yeah, its gonna be ugly tonight. I just hope our boy doesn't throw 9 picks.

Looks like Ahman is out too.

I've turned over a new leaf though--I'm just enjoying watching Favre play. I refuse to get upset at these games anymore.

We had to beat them in their house before they would come to ours. NFL seriously has something agaist us.
 
Just checking in from 20 miles from Lincoln Financial Field...I am happy to see Green Bay tonight. McNabb is going to have astronomical numbers this evening, even with Stallworth and Westbrook questionable.
 
I give Farve all the respect in the world. I actually pull for the Packers...every week other than Philly games.

Um, we never did beat Dallas at their house- the way we made it past them was San Fran ( or maybe it was Carolina) beat them for us then we crushed those two.
 
Well, that was ugly. Guess we wait another week to whittle down to the record.

As soon as it was 16-9 last night, I knew the game was over and Brett would chuck up an INT or 2.

Favre's usually fine with the lead but he implodes almost on cue whenever the team falls behind in the second half.

Ayep. You either do those heroic comebacks or what he's done lately. You're down enough like we always are it's going to happen.
 
You know what it is, I think?

And don't flame me, I'll be respectful...

I don't think he trusts the defense. The bad pick he threw last night, the one near the end of the third quarter? It was WAY too early to be playing so desperately. They were only down two scores, they had another full quarter to play. Play smart, don't do anything stupid, if the defense can stop Philly at all they still should have four possessions to work with.

But, Brett starting pressing, he started making bad reads. The one that was called back on the defensive holding call was worse, IMHO, he threw it up basically for grabs off his back foot.

Maybe if Faver was playing with a defense that he trusted to stop the other guys and get him the ball back, he wouldn't start pressing quite so much. Because, it was really WAY too early to start playing so desperately.

Finally! :D

I totally agree. Down 16-9 with 9 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter was not a time to panic. I put the blame on the coach for continuing to call passes at that point. We were running the ball fairly well all night.

I knew the meltdown would happen right then and there.

Would you trust a D that had Ahmad Carroll working at corner? Thank God he's finally gone, only took three years. He even made Buckley look good. :(

Who did ya kill to get those?:tank:

Nobody. :D

My neighbor (former) here in Virginia is from WI, his parents have season tix. They offered us one of the games. They gave us a choice of Saints, Rams, Cards or Lions. I wanted to see the Cards over any of those other teams. We saw the Saints last year.

Face value--can't beat that. Great seats too.

:mug:

There's no such thing as bad seats at Lambeau. 'Cept maybe for the luxury boxes-we did that one year. Spent $500 on two ticket to watch a game in a big living room with 200 people we didn't know. It's better outside. Plus that was the playoff game where we got crushed by the Vikes and Moss mooned the fans.

For $500 that crowd a people I don't know better be naked.

Must Edit: and good looking!
 
I went through each team and here is my gut reaction:

St. Louis Rams 1
@ Miami Dolphins 2
Arizona Cardinals 2
@ Buffalo Bills 0
@ Minnesota Vikings 2
New England Patriots 1
@ Seattle Seahawks 0
New York Jets 1
@ San Francisco 49ers 3
Detroit Lions 2
Minnesota Vikings 2
@ Chicago Bears 1
----------------------------------------
Total 17

Even though I still believe that the Bears will collapse, Farve had better have the record crushed by the Lions game. They'll go Charles Waters on his ass. Edit Charles Martin. Waters was a Cowboy I believe.
 
If the Bears collapse, it'll be on the other side of the ball. Put a big fat "0" up next to that last game. St. Louis, though, he could get two or three.
