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...
