A big middle finger to my Packers

10 dropped passes, four fumbles, 25 missed tackles !
It's sad when the fans care more about winning than the team does.
Sunday's beat down was a result of poor play calling, lack of concentration and general lethargy.
As a Packer fan for over 25 years, this was one of the worst games I have seen them play.

The ref's tried to help them, but even that couldn't save a team that seemed not to care.

I'll be back for more punishment next year. :

and the Giants got hot for the playoff run ( like we did last year).

Punishment was Packer fandom in the 70s and 80s - it was year after year of embarrassment - a least it felt that way.

I think we had one playoff win between '72 and '94.


Go Pack!

but I'm mad at them for that performance yesterday. And if they re-sign Finley they deserve what they get.

But, if it means those "discount double check" commercials leave the air sooner, the loss will have been in service to a greater good for mankind.

sustain the pace.

And it's pretty sad, as I heard a sports commentator state the other day, that all the work the Packers did in the regular season to get to the top was wasted in the end.
