NFC North division game...

Minnesota Vikings 20,Atlanta Falcons 10...

commentary...

it is as plain as the nose on their faces,as the old saying goes,for the Packers' offensive woes this season... the offensive team chemistry is affected by simply two factors:the youth of the receiving corps,and i really hate to admit that Aaron Rodgers is missing his "security blanket" in wide receiver Jordy Nelson... that would open up the passing game on the coverage on Randall Cobb,and Davante Adams.... mental and physical mistakes are,right now,sinking the Packers... losing two very,very winnable games at home,against the Detroit Lions,and DA BEARS does not help,period... however,before you get very morose,and gloomy,there is still a way for the Packers to win the NFC North division,even with Minnesota Vikings,in first place,right now... fact of the day:the last two years,the Packers did not clinch the NFC North,until week seventeen,when they beat DA BEARS,in 2013,and the Detroit Lions,last year... guess who the Packers play in week seventeen??? the Minnesota Vikings,in Green Bay,and the Packers have the tiebreaker by beating the Vikings,30-13,last week...however,honestly,the Packers may be very,very unlucky and they need to keep afloat,as they go on... the one thing that the Vikings have on their remaining schedule:teams' winning percentage of nearly .600,and the Packers have only one team on our remaining schedule,with a winning record,the Arizona Cardinals,so beat the teams that you need to beat,keep pace with the Vikings,and week seventeen in Green Bay will happen for the NFC North division,as it happened for the last two years,and the Packers will win the NFC North division,for the fifth straight year... sounds simple,doesn't it??? anything but simple,folks...

a story about my life...

i got up very early yesterday to get a new television remote from the cable company... i did,but the trip reminded of a bus trip that i took about twenty one years ago,on a Regional Transit bus... that day,twenty one years ago,i had athlete's foot so bad that it ripped off layers of skin off my feet... so i went to the hospital to get medication for it,got a prescription for an ointment,and proceeded to go to a pharmacy... well,i got on the bus,and the bus driver insulted,complained,and embarrassed me about the way that i looked,and also mentioned my feet... i then told him that i was sorry,but i was going to a pharmacy to get medication,even showing him the doctor's prescription... that shut him up,that day... that should have been the end of it,but it was not the end of the argument that i had with that scumbag... about a month later,after my feet healed up,i ran into him in a Carl's Jr,and he started in on me again,in front of the morning rush of the restaurant... this time,i was pissed... got the bus number,and time of the bus trip,and directly went to the Regional Transit office at 29th and N street... i talked to his supervisor,explained politely about the situation,noting that i may have been homeless,but i was a person,and that i was not going to take that crap from the scumbag of a driver... i said point blank that if the scumbag said another word to me,i would file a lawsuit against Regional Transit,and the scumbag driver(and i would want the scumbag fired),and i politely shook his hand,and left... well,actually,that was not quite the end... about three years later,i ran into the scumbag driver,again,and he said something to me again,so i sternly looked into his eyes,and said bluntly to him,"that is not acceptable",and he finally got the point,so i sat down,smiling...

blog statement...

i will talk about DA BEARS' game with the Packers more next week...

commentary...

i have noticed something in both teams that i root for,on a regular basis... first the Red Wings,since they are playing the Edmonton Oilers,as i type this... the Red Wings are playing good hockey,overall,but they have the same problem as the Packers have right now the exact same problem,folks... both teams are playing to the level of their opponents... the Red Wings are 3-0-2 in the last five games... a good record,no doubt,but looking deeper,into those two overtime/shootout losses indicate that they are making mistakes,lapses that cost them points at critical times,in wins and losses... the Packers have lost four of their last five games,but honestly,they have missed chances to beat the Detroit Lions,and DA BEARS last night,and made unfortunate mistakes at the very end of games that last year that they would won,and they may be the unluckiest team in the NFL,right now... even going back to the Carolina Panthers' game,at Carolina,the Packers were down 37-14,after the third period,but scored two touchdowns,and got a critical interception with about three minutes to play in Panther territory,and the Packers drove it to 4th and goal(remember that,folks,from last night),and quarterback Aaron Rodgers,instead of hitting a wide open Randall Cobb,he popped up a lame duck interception to lose the game,37-29... two weeks ago,they recovered an onsides kick,that actually bounced off Calvin Johnson(remember Seattle,last year)...  they missed a makable 52 yard field goal,by Mason Crosby,when the football was blocked partially by the holder,punter Tim Masthay,on a fluke,and lose 18-16,to the Lions,and last night,they allowed DA BEARS TO HANG AROUND,and they make four mistakes,a fumble by Eddie Lacy in Packer territory,and that was turned into their first touchdown,to tie the game,at seven,and then Rodgers threw an interception on the drive before the last drive,and that was deep in DA BEARS territory,and then the last TWO plays(third and goal,and fourth and goal),of the Packers' night... two dropped touchdown passes,one drop by James Jones,on third and goal,and then the game killer,a drop by Davante Adams,on fourth and goal,and a 17-13 loss to DA BEARS...

Packers' game score...

DA BEARS 17,Packers 13... commentary,tomorrow...

comments and NFL,and Packers' trivia...

as i am listening to Brett Favre's jersey retirement and circle of honor enshrinement in the north end zone,Bart Starr came out on a gold cart,they hugged twice... trivia question:what quarterback has won the most NFL championships??? answer:number 15,the great Bart Starr...

beatdown of the week...

Detroit Lions 45,Philadelphia Eagles 14... any team who gives up thirty eight straight points deserves the dubious distinction of "beatdown of the week"...

the Packers win if...

the Packers win if they make DA BEARS' quarterback Jay Cutler beat them,and they(the team defense)stop the running attack of DA BEARS... Aaron Rodgers and company need to start fast,and score early,and often(like the Chicago voting machine "vote early and do it often")... sorry,Cook County,Illinois... NOT!!!! had to make someone laugh...

comments...

since this is Thanksgiving,i want to be very,very thankful for one thing... my dear stepmother is getting much better,and i have been very worried about her all month... that is a very great thing in a terrible month,overall...

comments...

because of a "dead"(non-working)remote,i will be watching absolutely no football today... i will listen to the games on SiriusXM... this month is absolutely one of the worst months of my entire life... only third behind December,1999,and February,2008,because of things that happened in those months... family and friends know what i am talking about... one good thing is December can not be this bad,can it??? note:the remote went non-working early this morning,and i have tried new batteries,and it did not work,folks... i will grab a new remote tomorrow

DA BEARS/Packers game notes...

the four NFC North division games that the Packers will be in a span of nineteen days... if the Packers win tomorrow,they will tie the all-time series with DA BEARS at 93-93-6,including a 1-1 playoff record... this is the third straight year that the teams have played in November,and this is the first Thanksgiving day game,at Green Bay,since 1923... DA BEARS' quarterback Jay Cutler is 0-4,lifetime,against the Packers,at Lambeau Field,and the Packers have scored at least 31 points in the last four games,against DA BEARS,and head coach Mike McCarthy is 14-6,against DA BEARS,and the team has scored at least 20 points in thirteen of the fourteen wins(only exception is week seventeen of the 2010 season,in which the Packers won 10-7,to make the playoffs,that year)... note:next week's game,against the Detroit Lions,will also be on Thursday(first time since week 12-13,of the 2007 season,when they played the Lions,and then the Dallas Cowboys)... personal note:REVENGE!!!! but that is next week...

play of the week...

beginning of the 4th quarter:Packers up 19-13,Packers on Vikings' 27 yard line,Packers' quarterback Aaron Rodgers rolled out to his right,fired a rocket pass to wide receiver James Jones near the sideline,in the end zone,a tapping of both feet inbounds... TOUCHDOWN,PACKERS!!!  a lob of a pass later on the two point conversion... PACKERS,27-13,basically,game over!!!!!

blog statement...

there will be new segment on my blog named,"the play of the week"... note:i will try to incorporate the entire NFL...

comments on DA BEARS/Packers game...

if the Packers beats DA BEARS,on Thursday night,the all time series will be tied,between the teams... note:i will preview the game tomorrow,and Wednesday,for Thanksgiving night's(Thursday) game...

simple statement...

finally,a statement game by the Packers... that is Packer Pride!!!!

Packers' game score,and comment...

Packers 30,Vikings 13... defense limited Adrian Peterson to a total of forty five rushing yards,and sacked Teddy Bridgewater six times... that is Packer Pride...

a day that changed history,fifty two years ago...

President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated at 12:30,central time,on November 22,1963,52 years ago,today... question:wonder what would have happened if Kennedy had lived??? hat tip to a great president,and gratitude to his service...

beatdown of the week...

Carolina Panthers 44,Washington Redskins 16... was 14-14,after one period,then the Panthers bulldozed with 30 straight points... Redskins got a meaningless safety,with the Panthers' punter walked out of the end zone,with seconds left in game...

NFC North division scores...

Detroit Lions 18,Oakland Raiders 13... Denver Broncos 17,DA BEARS 15... note:both teams really suck,but DA BEARS REALLY SUCK!!!!

the Packers win,if...

the Packers win,if they stop Adrian Peterson from rushing for 150+ yards,and force Teddy Bridgewater to beat you... the Packers win,if they play Packers' football,and they have not done so,in three weeks... simply said,show Packer Pride,and play Packers' football... note:i have refused to watch much NFL Network,or anything else this week,because simply said,i am so pissed that i do not care what pundits,or anybody else think,care about their opinions,and that is simply fact...

quote of the week...

as tomorrow is the 25th anniversary of the Undertaker in the WWE:the quote of the week came from the late great Roddy Piper,who said,as the Undertaker walked the ramp for the very first time,at the 1990 Survivor Series,in Hartford,Connecticut,"HEY,LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT HAM HOCK"...

breaking NFL news...

San Francisco 49ers have placed quarterback Colin Kaepernick on injured reserve,and is done for the rest of the season... he will have season ending surgery on his non-throwing shoulder... he signed a team-friendly contract(in which the team can walk out of,every season,of the deal),in 2014,so his $13.9 million dollar contract is not guaranteed until April 1st,2016... there is a possibility that we,as fans,have seen the last of him in a 49ers' uniform...

to my family....

folks,to tell you the absolute truth,i am very tired physically,mentally,and every other way that you can think of... i have been worried about all of my family members,and they are getting better slowly,but surely,and up in Redding,that group of family members will be fine,honestly,that will take time,but there will always a place with a missing member,but he will be remembered,with laughs and tears,if need be... maybe,that has worn me out,as i see it,and i will feel better,too... i love every family member,even though sometimes they can get on the nerves,if you know what i mean... i am going to take it easy for a few days,but i will be better...

commentary...

i am getting tired of the pundits hyping the Packers' opponents every week,including the Minnesota Vikings,this week... forget the numbers... it will be a total slugfest,for the NFC North division lead,in Minnesota... i understand that the Packers are struggling,losing three games in a row,even though Murphy's Law had something to do with last week's loss to the Detroit Lions,which may be the low point of this season... what pisses me off is the simple fact that every pundit may believe that the Packers are done,and one pundit suggested that Packers' quarterback Aaron Rodgers is now "unfixable",and that the Packers' receiving corps is "slow" compared to other teams... that is bull manure,folks... simply said,the pundits can shove it where the sun does not shine,and to those fair weather fans of the Packers,who only cheer when the team is good,they can kiss my backside royally,both sides,folks... i am a true fan,and a proud shareholder/owner of the Packers,and to everybody who is a true fan,and shareholder/owner,hold on,folks,it will be a bumpy ride... whether they win or lose,Sunday,it will be Packers' football,because simply said,the Packers' entire team may want to shut up everybody... it is about time,folks,to show Packer Pride!!!

commentary...

i am just waking up,and everything hurts,as in i have broken a bone in every limb,and many surgeries,so it really takes a few hours to feel normal(ha ha)... i have never been normal,and i have always been a little off,folks,if anyone who knows me will attest... isn't that true,folks??? (laughing)...

Packers/Vikings game notes...

Packers lead all-time series against the Minnesota Vikings,58-49-2,including 1-1,in playoff meetings... eighteen of the last twenty six games have been decided by seven points or less,and the Packers are 9-1-1,in the last eleven games,including winning four of the last five games,in Minnesota...

notes on the day...

will be on here later... have a slight headache,but took aspirin so i will be all right,shortly... will preview the Packers/Vikings game,today... note:lately,the Packers have not played well,but it should change some time soon... cross your fingers!!!!

Cubs fans,rejoice...

for you Cubs fans,Jake Arrieta won the NL Cy Young Award,in 2015,won 22 games,and in the last twelve regular season starts that he pitched,he was 11-0,with a 0.41 ERA,over 88 1/3 innings... he had 1.77 ERA,over 229 innings,four complete games,and a no-hitter over the Los Angeles Dodgers,in August...

blog statement...

i am not in a good mood,today... irritable,is all... small things are going wrong;nothing serious,but irritating nonetheless...

comments...

day off... "Idaho Spud" time... note:will preview the Packers/Minnesota Vikings game,tomorrow...

comments on the recent Packers' misfortunes...

simply,i deeply respect the Minnesota Vikings(do not like then one bit-NFC North division foe,as you know;"hate" them,actually)... they will be tough to beat at home,this week,but honestly,the Packers do have more firepower,and if the team plays defense like they did against the Detroit Lions,the Packers SHOULD win... however,i noticed a slight shaking of the team's confidence,in losing to the Lions... let me clarify that for you,folks:every small thing that has gone wrong lately,and Murphy's law has taken effect,right now,and Aaron Rodgers appears to be jumping slightly at every preconceived jolt,like the last scoring plays,first against Carolina(4th and goal),and he popped up with a damn duck of a pass(intercepted by the Panthers),while missing a wide open Randall Cobb in the end zone... there is video of him tossing the laptop used to review plays,after seeing the play,and against the Lions,he threw a two point conversion pass to Davante Adams,that if he would have led him a little more,like two more feet,the game would have tied at 18... honestly,he has thrown that pass to Adams(or to any receiver) probably 1,000 times,and i have seen it completed before easily... finally,the Packers lost Sunday,because the free hand of Tim Masthay,who was the holder for Mason Crosby deflected the football off,before the football had a chance to go anywhere... that is Murphy's Law,folks!!!!

a day of idiotic and moronic things happening...

has been a stupidly wild day,today... woke up,sat down to watch television,and remote was sticking(and not working),so i unplugged everything,to see if that worked... it worked on the television,but computer,and home landline(phone)was screwed up... called cable company;they told me to call Apple,and after 25 minutes on phone,they gave some troubleshooting tips to turn on computer... the computer took about three minutes to click on to my passcode page,then finally,about a hour later,my landline(phone)came up to snuff... i went out for a walk,went about a mile and a half,and felt tightness,in left calf,and soreness in right ankle/foot(sprained it yesterday),so i stopped,and took bus home... what a morning!!!! note:i do not push it at all,when exercising,folks...

blog statement...

i am taking off a couple days,need rest,but i am sorry for the lack of blogging,especially last week,because i honestly have not wanted to do this,and i was busy... note:doc says that nothing is seriously wrong,but she recommends 81 mg aspirin for me to take... the fatigue is due to exercising every day,which is very good for me...

comments...

the Packers can not get a break,lately... there is a report that the reason Mason Crosby flubbed the 52 yard field goal,yesterday was that it was blocked,not by the Lions,but by the free hand of the holder Tim Masthay... i happen to believe that,simply because the football was such a dead duck of a kick,and it never got 25 feet off the ground and landed about 25 yards short... what stinking luck!!!!

NFC North division games...

Minnesota Vikings 30,Oakland Raiders 14... DA BEARS 37,St. Louis Rams 13...

beatdown of the week...

Washington Redskins 47,New Orleans Saints 14... bulldozed by the Redskins,the Saints deserve the dubious distinction of the week....

comments on being a shareholder/owner...

even though the Packers have lost three straight games,i am a proud shareholder/owner of the team you have to give credit to the teams that beat the Packers,and shake off the dread that you may feel.. folks,i will wear the Green and Gold so proudly,because it may be a season to remember,good or bad,but folks,i am a proud shareholder and that is what matters to me,not the scores of the last three games,which have sucked,no doubt,but even though the Minnesota Vikings lead the NFC North,by a game,the Packers play them next week,in Minnesota,so the game that really matters is next week,but honestly,i bleed Packer Green and Gold,no matter what,and i am very proud to do so,folks...

Packers' game score,and comments...

Detroit Lions 18,Packers 16... hat tip to the Lions for breaking a twenty four year losing streak in the state of Wisconsin... i say that with humility,and class... Mason Crosby flubbed a 52 yard field goal,in last minute... it appeared to go off the side of his foot,on the replay... Packers just can not get a break,lately... a very good game... note:i am a true fan of NFL football,and i just have to give the Lions props for an one very good slugfest,of a game...

cheapskates in Carolina...

Carolina Panthers' defensive end Charles Johnson has been on injured reserve,and amazingly,he had to buy his own ticket to the Panthers/Tennessee Titans game,today... he will be back at practice,this week... what cheapskates they are in Carolina!!!!

Packers' trivia...

today,this is the first time that the Packers have not scored a touchdown in the first half,with Aaron Rodgers under center,in an amazing 35 games...

commentary...

all the pundits are picking the Packers over the Detroit Lions,at Lambeau Field,tomorrow... even though,i do not like the pundits,i happen to agree,but honestly,the game is a NFC North division game,so watch out,Packers... never overlook the NFC North division teams against each other,because it will be a slugfest... the 1-7 Lions are trying to say that the season starts tomorrow,at 0-0,to hype themselves into a good game,but folks,they are facing a very frustrated,pissed off,chip on their shoulders,team in the Packers,and unfortunately for the Lions,the entire team is getting healthy at the right time,and with a pissed off Aaron Rodgers,and company,the Lions may be in deep doggy manure,because the Packers' team offense are due for a big game,and unfortunately,the Lions are in the way... the Packers are not as bad a team as they have shown in the last two weeks,and unfortunately,the Lions are just a bad team,and even though,this is a NFC North division game,the Packers are raring to put a butt whipping on some team right now,and unfortunately,the Lions are ready to be roadkill,right now... the Packers are not overlooking the Lions,neither am i,but they are tired of the butt of a bad joke,right now,and so am i...

a day of remembrance...

i went to bed at 7:30 last night,slept most of the last seven hours... listening to SiriusXM,and some Frank Sinatra... strangely,Siriusly Sinatra is playing one of my box sets(Frank Sinatra:Live at the Sands),which was done during his "Rat Pack" days,in which he and the group would show up at the Sands,and play until early in the morning(about 5 am)... in fact,he mentions them during the set,and then introduced his band... sometimes,truly wish i could have born about ten years earlier,because i would have loved to hear Sinatra,live... a story from my time in Las Vegas:i remember walking into the lobby of the Sands,and just thinking about all of the history that happened there... i actually welled up with tears,and i was watching on local television,in Las Vegas,as they imploded the hotel... a very sad hallmark of history... thank you,Mamish,for the music education,because i enjoy all kinds of music,and it is all because of you... i miss her every time i listen to music... i guess it is time to go back to bed for a few more hours...

blog statement...

first of all,i will preview the Detroit Lions/Packers game,today,sometime,folks... been very busy and somewhat worried about family,this week,but things are better,so back to blogging,today,and very soon... will be ramped up normally this week...

quote of the week...

"Beat me if you can,survive if i let you..."-Peter Senerchia,as TAZ,a former ECW wrestler,used as a taunt,in ECW(Extreme Championship Wrestling),from his character...

comments on a long day...

what a day!!! got myself up at 2:30 am... had a 8:15 am appointment for a MRI... got done shortly before ten am,so tonight,i will be dead to world,as in asleep... spent over a half hour in the tube of the MRI,so i am going to be sleeping like a rock,tonight... tell me tomorrow,if an atomic bomb goes off(laughing)... i will say,"what a beautiful mushroom cloud!!!",and go back to bed... notes:thought you needed a chuckle,folks...

blog statement...

day off... walked around for four hours,and had fun... "Idaho Spud" time...

blog statement...

day off... "Idaho Spud" time... note:will preview the Detroit Lions/Packers game,this Sunday...

commentary...

when the game ended yesterday,i was very,very angry,but after some good sleep,and thinking about the game,i am calmer... there are calls for everyone to be fired... you look at 37 points given up,yesterday,and 33,on average,over the last two games,on team defense,and you feel like the roof is collapsing on the Packers' 2015-2016 season... those are two bad losses,no doubt,but the first goal of this season is still in sight,with four division games in a row-win them all,or three of four,and you still control the NFC North division,which the Packers have won four years straight... the only thing they can not control is the top seed in the NFC(playoff seeding),with the Carolina loss,with a three game bulge to overtake the Panthers(they own tiebreaker),so for now forget that,and get back to playing Packers' football... now for the game,yesterday,it looks like the Packers' defense needs help,and they were gashed like a fisherman gutting a fish the last two weeks,and they have been,and there is nothing to be happy about the last two games,because the Packers' entire team have not played well for weeks(not scoring 30+ points,since week three),and you can blame injuries,and not having Jordy Nelson,on the roster,but honestly,i am very tired of hearing of that,week after week... who honestly cares??? it is only an excuse,and stop making excuses,because it is stale,and monotonous in telling everyone that the Packers are not the same team that they were,last season... no kidding??? however,except for Jordy Nelson,this team is basically the same that lost in the NFC Championship,to the Seattle Seahawks,so they just have been not playing well,this season... the defensive backfield is talented,but very young,and in the last three weeks(excluding the bye),they have faced Philip Rivers,Peyton Manning,and Cam Newton,and some pinpoint passing,it looks like your team defense really sucks... as for Aaron Rodgers,and company,the last two weeks they have faced top tier defenses,and the nagging fact that they are missing Jordy Nelson comes into focus,but the fact that the receiving corps has not kept up with Rodgers,and Aaron Rodgers has not played up to his usual MVP self,along with some coaching failures,and bad team play at critical times makes the Packers' entire team look like they are not the same team they were,last season... now,it is time to play Packers' football,take care of business in the NFC North,and then worry about the playoffs,at that time... if they do not take care of business,in the next four weeks,they will not have to worry about the playoffs... final thought:stop reading your newspaper clippings,act like an underdog the rest of the season,have the big collective chip on your shoulders,and play Packers' football... come on,fellows,play the best that you can,and i will be happy with the season...

commentary...

wins or losses do not bother me much,honestly... let me clarify that,for one thing:winning or losing is part of the game... what really bothers me is that it is the way the Packers play the game that is most important to me... the Packers have not scored 30+ points,since week three,and the Packers' team defense has given up 33 points/a game,in the last two games,against Denver,and Carolina,and that is the reason why i am upset... that is not Packers' football... now,there is no room for error,because in the next four weeks,the Packers play the Detroit Lions(home),the Minnesota Vikings(road),DA BEARS(home),and the Lions(road),again... now,ladies,it is time to man up,and play Packers' football,PERIOD...

commentary...

i have turned off television,and am trying to relax;listening to some great blues music in SiriusXM B.B. King's Bluesville... i will not talk about NFL football,or NHL hockey,tonight,because i am so burnt out from it that i look like a "mental blackened match",right now,but tomorrow morning,the fangs will come out,as i rightly criticize the Packers' team effort... i am a tired cobra right now... after the last two weeks,i am rather pissed off about a lot of things,and most of them have nothing to do with the Packers,NFL football,or NHL hockey... they are of a personal nature,and honestly,i am in no mood to talk to anyone,but my family,and they are paramount on my mind,right now... see you tomorrow,folks...

Packers' game score...

Carolina Panthers 37,Packers 29... rally falls short... interception of Aaron Rodgers on fourth and goal,with 1:54 left in game,decided game... note:rather disgusted!!!! what defense???

NFC North division game...

Minnesota Vikings 21,St. Louis Rams 18...

the Packers win,if...

everyone whose is a pundit may believe that the Panthers have a chance to win,but to tell you the truth,this game is much more critical to the Packers' playoff chances than to the Panthers,because if the Packers lose,they will be two games behind the Panthers,and the Panthers having the tiebreaker,by beating the Packers... the keys to the game,is keeping Cam Newton controlled in the pocket because he is a 54% passer,with a mid 70's passer rating,but as a running quarterback,he is averaging 4.5 yards per running attempt... the keys for the Packers are three fold:convert third down(less than 33% the last four games,with a rock bottom of 28%,last week),open up passing attack with a heavy dose of a combination of running and passing,and get more deeply into the Packers' playbook... keeping Cam Newton off the field,and converting on third down will give a chance to win...

Packers/Panthers game notes...

last season's game between the Packers and the Panthers was:Packers 38,Panthers 17... like Aaron Rodgers said this week,the difference between this season's game,and this season's game is the vast improvement of the Panthers' team defense,and i happen to agree,and both teams have won games this season very ugly... Cam Newton is a much improved quarterback with maturity,and both teams'  running attacks can be explosive... however,the difference in the Packers this season is that the team offense is not explosive as in past years,but it(the game)will come down to whose offense can be slowed down to a pedestrian level,as the Packers were,last week,because both defenses WILL be ready to dominate,if at all possible... the keys to the game will what team is the one that has a better running attack,and possession of the football,keeping the other team off the field... the Panthers are favored,no doubt,but anything can happen... interesting game,tomorrow,isn't it???

commentary...

the Panthers are a very good team... if both teams play at their best,the Packers have the offensive edge,but honestly,the way that the Packers have played offensively the last four games,they are not simply 100% on offense,and last week,they hit rock bottom,with a performance that left them angry,frustrated,and simply humiliated... on defense,the Packers were gashed like a fisherman gutting a fish,last week... right now,honestly,the Packers entire team is an enigma,because what team is going to show up??? the one that got humiliated by the Denver Broncos,or the one that won six straight games to start the season... odds are that the team that won six straight games will show up,but honestly,very pissed,very frustrated,and very humiliated,by what happened last week,in Denver,and ready to take out their season long frustrations out on the Carolina Panthers... whether they win or lose,they will come out ready to play like a four time Super Bowl champion...

twenty nine lives remembered...

forty years ago,on November 10,1975,the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sank off Whitefish Point,Michigan... it still is the biggest ore freighter to sink in the Great Lakes... twenty nine mariners lost their lives... to those twenty nine,and with deep respect,i give a deep hat tip...

blog statement...

the game notes on the Packers/Carolina Panthers game,and "the Packers win if...." will be posted tonight... let me calm down some,and get back to blogging...

commentary...

now,i do have something to say!!!! i am rather pissed about the pundits denigrating the Packers' chances this week,against the Panthers... i am pissed off,because whenever i turn on NFL Network,i hear about last week's game,against the Broncos,and the Packers' offensive woes(if being 6-1 is having offensive woes???)... first of all,every team has a bad game in a season,whether they win or lose the game... the final straw for me in this barrage of denigrating the Packers was during college football coverage,some moron at ESPN decided to slip in a segment on how the Packers' team offense sucks... i can understand the segment on NFL coverage... i expect it,but not after talking about the Florida Gators!!!! i turned off the television,and exploded with anger,because i find it absolutely insulting to the Packers,their fans,and shareholders/owners,and to NFL football,in general... could not believe it!!!! shame on you,pundits...

commentary...

i humbly apologize to you,folks... i am just a little off in my blogging the last couple of weeks,because i am preoccupied with family matters,and,right now,honestly this is not number one on my list,more like number 5,000 on my list... (laughing,somewhat)...

commentary...

Seattle Seahawks' wide receiver Ricardo Lockette,who was hurt during a punt return in last Sunday's game has had surgery on his neck tendons and discs,and has been released from the hospital... even though,i am not a Seahawks' fan,i hope and pray that he recovers as much as he can,and gets on with a productive life... a deep bow and hat tip out of respect...

comment on WWE...

if you honestly think that WWE Superstars are not athletes,i just saw a video of WWE Superstar John Cena squat 611 pounds... unbelievable!!!!

quote of the week...

"we're not pushing the panic button... one win does not make a season,and one loss does not lose it"... who said that and when??? if you believe that head coach Mike McCarthy,or Aaron Rodgers said that this week,you would be dead wrong,but one Packers' head coach did say that... answer:the late great Vince Lombardi said that fifty years ago,today... remember that,if you get down...

comment...

trivia...

to state the case for a butt kicking:Packers' quarterback Aaron Rodgers had,get this number,seventy seven net passing yards,last night(the lowest total of yards in his NFL career)...

quote of the week...

"i haven't had my (butt)* kicked like that in a very long time"...-Packers' head coach Mike McCarthy,referencing to last night's 29-10 Packers' loss to Denver... *word means a donkey...

Packers' game score,and comments...

Broncos 29,Packers 10... simply,Denver dominated,and the Packers STUNK up the joint... have to give a hat tip to a great game plan by Denver,and simply they came to play,and the Packers got humiliated by their putrid effort... my opinion:you have to be humble,when things go awry,and give respect to the better team... simply put,folks...

wild game in the Big Easy...

New Orleans Saints 52,New York Giants 49... Drew Brees,of the Saints,tied NFL record for touchdown passes,with seven touchdown passes,and Eli Manning,of the Giants,had six touchdown passes...  Giants also scored on an interception returned for a touchdown(a pick six)...

NFC North division game...

Minnesota Vikings 23,DA BEARS 20... DA BEARS CHOKE!!!! DA BEARS STILL SUCK!!!

beatdown of the week...

Kansas City Chiefs 45,Detroit Lions 10... in London,what team went off to a 3-0 lead,and then got hammered with 38 straight points??? answer: the Detroit Lions... they deserve the dubious distinction of the beatdown of the week... the game is not even close... CHOKE LIONS CHOKE!!!!
