Packers 23 Lyins 22 

It’s sad; In case you haven’t heard it anywhere on sports media this week, the Packers are 5-1.  That doesn’t seem to be news, but Trey Flowers hands to the face has made him a national poster child for the “Inept Refs”.  To be honest, that was as much “hands to the face” as it was a Lyins touchdown (see Jimmy’s comments).

Packers 34 Cowgirls 24 

Despite the great victory the Packers had against Dallas, writing this review is personally the least enjoyable I’ve ever written. It’s like work, only with no reward. I’m a little bitter, a little disappointed. Much of what “fire” I’ve had for all of this is currently missing.

Packers 27 E-gulls 34 

“I don’t know what pass interference is anymore,” that’s what Coach Matt LaFleur said after Thursday night’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.  He was referring, of course, to the third quarter no call when a Philly defender was in the face of MVS, had his hand in his face (illegal use of hands to the face?), and was clearly not playing the ball, killing a drive that would have helped the Packers tie the score or put us ahead.

Packers 27 Broncos 16 

I have a confession to make... I was born in Denver and spent the first year of my life there.  You see, my mom had respiratory problems all her life.  Back then, modern medicine claimed that “mountain air” would work wonders on her breathing.

Packers 21 Viqueens 16

Watching TV last night. Again. This is getting to be a habit (?) I was surfing as usual, sampling all the Idiot Box had to offer. I stopped cold on CNN when I saw a familiar face. It was one of the “True Vikings” leaders,

Packers 10 Duh Bears 3

Preseason matters.  This past preseason Mitch Trubisky played exactly 3 snaps.  All 3 were handoffs on running plays.  Aaron Rodgers played ZERO.  Trubisky has played 3 seasons.  He’s not a veteran yet, he needs to experience the preseason more.  At least a quarter in game 3.  Aaron is a veteran, but he also needs that in-game experience to shake off any rust.   It’s inherent in his game that he gets rusty.

Packers 101 ~ Back to the Basics

Once again this year, there are some milestone numbers floating around; the Packers celebrate their 100th birthday (they don’t look a day over 50), name their 15th head coach; it is their 101st season of Football and the NFL starts their 100th season of football.
