NFL news... BREAKING NEWS...

New York Giants/Minnesota Vikings game moved to Ford Field,in Detroit,Monday,because Metrodome roof collapsed under 17 inches of snow,and ripped the rooftop open....

commentary...

Detroit's record is not indicative of how well the Lions have played against their opponents,example:opening week,against Chicago,when they lost in last second,on a very hotly disputed non-catch,by Calvin "Megatron" Johnson,when Johnson "lost" control of a touchdown pass,as he spun it off ground,after catching football... in my opinion,it was the worst call,by the referees,in the entire NFL,THIS SEASON... last week,they lost to Chicago,again,because of a disputed roughing the passer,on Ndamukong Suh(correct spelling of name),when he hit Jay Cutler... that drive led to Chicago's comeback,and win,in Detroit... Aaron Rodgers has not lost a game,to Detroit(5-0),but Detroit is not same team that lost 30 of 32,the last two years,including an infamous 0-16 season,in 2008... as a team,they have been outscored,by only 28 points(278-306),which means they have lost a lot of close games,including one to Buffalo,14-12,in Detroit,for the Bills' first win,this season... Ndamukong Suh has had a very good rookie season,giving teams fits,including the Packers,during a 28-26 win,for Packers,when John Kuhn,and company basically ran out the last six and half minutes,on clock,to win game,at Lambeau Field,earlier this season... a tightly fought game in Detroit,it will be,but Packers do have enough firepower to outscore Detroit,at Ford Field,Sunday...

commentary,and analysis...

Packers/Lions,Sunday morning... as Bears are ahead of Packers,by one game in division,Bears play New England,in Chicago... Tom Brady sliced and diced New York Jets,45-3,last week... if Brady plays half as good,as last week,i pity the Bears... offenses and defenses between Packers/Lions are about equal,except the Lions are down to their third string quarterback,this week,i believe... more tomorrow...

Packers' news...

Green Bay/Detroit,Sunday... right now,Packers are 7 point favorites,up in Reno

69th anniversary of Pearl Harbor...

this blogpost is to memorialize Pearl Harbor... people sometimes forget that infamous day:at 7:51 am,on December 7,1941,the Empire of Japan started one of two bombing runs,at Pearl Harbor... USS Arizona was sunk in minutes,when bomb hit deck,and plunged to ammo magazine that basically sunk the battleship with a explosion,within ten minutes... i believe only one battleship got underway during the attack,and 2,350 were killed,and 1,178 injured... 1,177 of the killed servicemen came from the USS Arizona... to the memory of those killed and injured... may they be blessed by history forever

commentary...

Aaron Rodgers was 21-30,for 298 yards passing,and three touchdowns... Donald Driver had an awesome touchdown,when he wrestled with,and broke away,from seven different 49ers' players to score his touchdown,to break open a close game... it was the Packers' touchdown of year,not for being a great catch,but for two simple facts:Driver has had a very quiet year,and has come back from injury(a quadriceps injury),and he showed a unmitigated desire in scoring a touchdown,from 61 yards out... it reminded me of a very famous quarterback rush,of a rambling,stumbling Steve Young,into end zone,against Minnesota,that propelled Steve Young,into the starting quarterback that he became,and assured the 49ers that he was,"the man" to count on,at that time... i am not saying that Driver's touchdown run after catch was not great,but it showed that he is now healthy,and wanted to score,and show his Packer teammates,that nothing was going to stop him at all... Greg Jennings had 122 yards receiving,and two touchdowns,including a 57 yard touchdown,down the left sideline,to open up the scoring,for the Packers,that was a beautiful catch in itself... defense had one major breakdown,in allowing Vernon Davis loose in the secondary,for a 66 yard touchdown,for the 49ers,to close up on the Packers,14-13,at halftime,but tightened up only to allow a field goal,after halftime,as the Packers pounded out a win,34-16,over the 4-8 49ers...

Packers' history...

on September 22,1935,in a 7-0 win,over the Chicago Bears,Don Hutson's first pass reception,as a professional,went for a 83 yard touchdown... saw the actual tape of the touchdown,on NFL Network,during the presentation of,"the 100 greatest players in NFL history"...
