Well, the "Game of the Year", NFC-style, has come and gone. The Dallas Cowboys proved they were the better team, and Charles Woodson proved he may actually be the Packers' MVP, since the other defensive backs appeared incapable of stopping Romo. Period. If TR had suddenly decided to toss TO a beach ball, he probably would have scored 4 TDs. Likely two of them would have come off of penalties by Atari Bigby. How in the world did he fool so many people into thinking he can play safety? Or football? Bigby is a liability for the Packers defense, and needs to be removed, immediately. There does not seem to be any chance of the Packers gaining home-field at this point, given the Cowboys remaining schedule. I don't see another loss mixed in anywhere, much less the 2 that would be needed. So we will in all likelihood be seeing the Packers march back to Dallas in January, with 0-10 in Dallas being a distinct and probable statistic. In a word, dissapointing.
In other news, at least my family got to share in my dissapointment after razzing me post-Packer defeat. Nothing gave me more pleasure Sunday than watching the Bears squander a 9 point lead with 12 minutes left. At home. Good stuff. Unfortunately, the Packers have not locked up the division yet. Next week, with any luck.
BTW, how bad can things get for Miami? You have to be thinking that if they were going to win, this was the week for it. Anyone who really thinks Miami is going to beat new England for their first win doean't really watch football, or really needs to increase their medication.
Finally, God Bless Sean Taylor, and his family and friends. I thought the missing-man formation was so touching. As for the Bills, I don't think people should be mad at them. If Gibbs didn't know the formation was coming, then there's no way Jauron knew.
Hi again. I'm still Kimmy, but things have changed this year. I graduated NIU with my B.A. in Psych, and I am currently attending SIU Carbondale for my Masters. It is nice to be away from DeKalb, especially after the shootings. Not to be insensitive, but this is just one more reason to support concealed carry for all law-abiding citizens. Stacy and I are still together, but we are trying to do the long-distance thing, and it is hard. The good news is she only has one more year at NIU, then who knows? Anyway, I am looking forward to the 2008 NFL season, an end to the Favre soap opera, and hopefully, a strong showing by whomever will be the QB this year for my Packers.
