Wow, Jeremy's pulling for Favre this week. Tis a strange and ironic turn of events. The thing that makes this even more surprising is that the Packers are playing the #1 defense this week. Things could get interesting.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Well it was just as much of a defensive move, there are lots of teams that need a qb, including mine. Im not sure I'll start him, but at least now no one else gets him :) ps I think we've made it clear that we dont hate favre per se, just the rediculous way the media talks about him		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Wow, WI did pull off the upset. I picked them to do that on the ESPN poll. :) The MN and WI college teams are doing much better than their professional counterparts. We didn't watch the second half of the game because I thought it was over, instead we watched I, Robot. We missed the first twenty minutes, but I thought it was pretty good. I won't ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it, but I totally went for something when it was actually going the other way. And then it was obvious, I still didn't get it til after the scene was over. Hilarious. I think my brain was taking a break. As if anyone cares. Ok did anyone watch the Daily Show on Thursday night? If not go to their website and watch the segment "sent packin" or something to that effect. You'll get a kick out of it, guaranteed.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Steven Colbert: What do the Packers suck at? Spikin' Viking: Pretty much everything. Colbert: So, they probably suck at being...terrible? (sits back in glorious victory) Badger game was awesome. Probably the best game I've seen in a few years. The Badgers have an All-American on there hands in Brian Calhoun. He had 214 of UW's 287 total yards, and he's averaging 157 rushing yards per game thus far. Ok, so looking at the schedule before the season, I saw the Michigan game as really the only big question mark on their schedule. They don't play any ranked teams on the road, and they play Purdue and Iowa 4 weeks apart. I see big possibilities a-brewin'. Brewers beat the best team in baseball (the Cardinals) for the 2nd straight night to get back to .500. The Brewers need to finish 4-4 in their next 8 games to finish above .500 since 1992, which happens to be the same year the Packers started their current streak of winning seasons. Could be an interesting changing of the guards if the Packers don't turn things around this season.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

it was rob corrdry? I don't really pay attention to the names of the people on that show. oops. I saw it when it airred on TV though, I just forgot exactly how it went. I was close though, wasn't i? I just watched it again. Here's how it went word for word. ==== Corddry: What do the Green Bay Packers suck at? Spikin' Viking: Uh, pretty much everything. Corddry: So they suck at everything. So then they would suck at...being terrible. ==== I'd say I got it pretty close, I just guessed wrong on the name of the guy who did it. And besides, if I hadn't seen the clip, that would have been an unbelievably random and lucky quote to just have just thrown out there, which also would have been cool. :)		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Fire Mike Sherman, Fire the offensive Coordinator. Taking the ball out of the quarterback's hands, any QB, with 1:50 left in a half is inexcusible. The Packers coaching staff is not letting Favre do anything, and the 2 times they did let him air it out he threw 2 great passes. Favre could still play for about 2 or 3 years, but not with Sherman at the helms. Pull 'em. That roughing the passer penalty on kampman was a joke.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

so instead of defensive touchdown for the Packers, it's Tampa Bay's ball and they continue to drive. But then again, wanting a fumble to be called when I guy drops the ball is just a stupid Packer fan complaining about the refs.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

I'm a few comments behind here, but my internet connection and or my cable modem have been bastards as of late. I didn't realize until I just double checked now how relatively easy the Badgers schedule is. I knew they got Purdue and Iowa at home, but I thought they had Minnesota and Michigan State on the road when they in fact don't play Michigan State at all. However, it is likely that Minnesota will be a ranked team when they play them. Still, the young defense has been suprising good, especially considering all the injuries they've had. If they can keep those guys healthy, and Stocco the schizo plays like he did on their 2 good long drives instead of like the high school freshmen he looked like the rest of the game, they have a good chance to run the table. The Brewers have given me one more chance to jinx them, they're back to .500. Also, college football is twice as exciting as the NFL. When was the last time an NFL team gave up a TD to go behind in the 4th quarter, then ran a flea-flicker to score on their next play????		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

The Packers should've won the game for so many reasons. Such a bunch of bull. Awful officiating. But, I can't really blame that. We had chance after chance to turn this game around and we didn't. The running game once again didn't do anything and Ferguson and Favre are not on the same page. Something should be done about that. We missed an xp and it kicked us in the ass. We missed a fg and it kicked us in the ass. We got the ball at the 32 because of OUR FIRST TAKEAWAY OF THE SEASON and we only get a FG. I mean, what the heck is going on? We had how many penalties and still stayed in the game and still only lost by 1 point? To lose by 2 and then to lose by 1 and to still play crappy football hurts a lot. Maybe it is easier to get blown out. We play sooo badly and yet we don't look that badly because we hang in there, it's sooo bizarre. And now we're 0-3. That's FAN-tastic.

0-3 doesn't concern you? Sure, they could still win the division with a record of 2-14, but they hardly look like a team capable of winning a playoff game. Some pretty big single player performances today. Alexander and LT both went off like it was the 4th of July! Also, to the 2 of you who I tried to trade Dillon to this past week, my anemic WR starters netted 4 TDs (although much of the credit here goes to the Packers even more anemic D) and even my bench produced a TD (Chatman of all people). And if my eyes don't betray me, the WRs I tried to trade for did jack (except for 1, who will remain nameless), as did the crappy RBs ya'll were forced to play. So ha!!

Well, with my expectations being so low on the Packers this season anyway, when I say I'm not worried, it means that A) the division is weak and everyone sucks, and B) if they don't win another game this season they will get a good draft pick for Sherman to screw up on, and C) if they don't win another game, I'm not going to be that disappointed because I wasn't expecting much anyway. I'm totally in denial though.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

One more thing, the Packers played WAY BETTER against the Bucs than the Vikings did. The Packers missed an extra point and a field goal that would have given them the lead. They played good enough that they could have won that game, and they were in the game up until the very end. Just a thought.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Now that you packer fans have had a run at the board, let me get some things in. First of all, Matt and I were able to watch both games, though of course we focused mostly on the Vikings game. We saw two calls that benefitted the Packers big time. One was the offensive interference that was actually called defensive interference on the Bucs. Later, on the interception near the end of the game that the Packers got, he totally hit the receiver early. So, there may have been some bad calls, but they happened both ways.

Bollinger might get to start for the Jets! My head2head teams went 2-1 this week. I had one team that had 6 WR TDs (Galloway, McCardell, and Llyod) which was crucial in defeating C. Johnson, Wayne, and S. Smith combined 5 TDS. I have no idea what your second of all point is.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

	Scott - On your mark...get set...Terrible! 09/26/2005 @ 04:32:48 PM
While I see your point Jon, both those calls were of the variety that could have gone either way. Look at the interception this way: if a player is "going for the ball" aka, "playing the ball", bumping the reciever early isn't an automatic pass interference as it would be if he just flat out hit him early. Carrol caught the ball, and therefore the judgement was that he was "playing the ball" and therefore he has the same right as the reciever. Ok, so I won't say that it definitely was clean, but it was a "could have gone either way" type of play. The same with offensive interference. If every team in the league can get away with offensive interference, the Packers should be no different. Now, here's where the calls against the Packers differ. Aaron Kampman hit the QB about a half a step after he got rid of the ball, and watching the replay, it was obvious that he was not trying to pile drive him or anything. It was on 3rd down, and the Bucs went on to score a td on that drive. The fumble by Greise on the other hand was like if a baseball player takes a full swing and the ump calls it a ball. I don't understand where the dispute is. The ball came out of his hand before he even brought his arm past his chest. He wasn't hit, he wasn't throwing, he just dropped the ball, and the ref called it an incomplete pass. It wasn't like he missed a holding call or didn't count 12 men on the field. I'm trying not to be too biased, but when it comes to "close calls" like pass interefence things, that's one thing. And besides, after all the cheap calls against Ahmad Carrol (hands to the face penalties for hitting a guy in the numbers twice in one game), I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt every once in a while. But then again, I'm a Packer fan and any and all calls against the Packers are ligit		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.
