I trust everyone had a good Thanksgiving; ours was quite one with only our youngest and his girl friend making the drive up the mountain for a turkey dinner. Good news is we were able to sit on our deck, yea!
What a difference a win makes! It’s been doom and gloom for weeks, and that very well may continue, at least for a while. But beating Shitcago to hiccup this slide was a great feeling. Like a drowning man thrown a life preserver, just a bit out of reach. But it seems at least we have a shot to swim toward it and maybe even grab it!
Okaaaayyyy. That wasn’t fun! First off, I want to apologize. I didn’t see the game. I only got to listen to it during the 4th quarter and by that time the damage was done. This game wasn’t even close. This is going to be a long (hopefully not) rant about the state of this team. Packers lost 30 to 17 to the lackluster Lions. ‘Nuff said about the score.
Last Sunday, prior to the game, they were asking the Fox guys for predictions. Jimmy Johnson said, “I expect a valiant effort but Brett Hundley and the Packers will fall short and lose to the Saints.” A rumble went through the crowd at Chiefs. It looked like that wasn’t going to happen. Green Bay gets the ball first and we pound right down the field. Touchdown Packers!
You wouldn’t know it, but when it comes to the Packers, I’m a pretty superstitious guy. Now you may be saying, “Yeah, Ken but everybody is a little superstitious.” True but look at what I do.
The Packers are again limping as usual…is it the bratwurst and cheese?”-Radio and TV personality Colin Cowherd (“The Herd”)
“When was the last time Green Bay lined up in a classic I-formation with double Tight Ends tight to the offensive line?”-Minnesota announcer during Hundley’s first series
The Pack lost at Minnesota to fall to (4-2), but (Obvious Alert) it goes without saying that we lost much, much more than this game.
Last week I made that bold prediction we would win 30-20 and for most of the game, first half at least, there wasn’t a lot to cheer about. The first Green Bay TD and missed extra point, we didn’t see at Chief’s because the storm temporarily knocked out the TV’s.
