Well, I have gotten the sleep that I needed, so now you can get the lowdow on the Packers game, the first one that I have watched all season. It was worth the wait. Brett's father passed away on Sunday, and it seemed like he guided the ball to the Packers recievers. He had 5 or 6 tremendous throws, 4 into double and triple coverage. He finished with 399 yards, just short of a career high 402, which he accoplished versus the Bears in a loss. Incredibly, it was the first time that Brett had thrown for 300 yards all season. Ahman Green also had a great game, with 127 yards rushing and a touchdown. The defense was excellent too, giving up just a touchdown, and geting three takeaways. For what seemed like the first time this year, the Packers didn't commit any turnovers. Mike McKenzie's replacement, Michael Hawthorne, was expecting to have a lot of balls thrown his way. Well, he intercepted two of them. Kabeer Bjaga Biamla had thre sacks, giving him ten on th eseason. Overall, it was a great game. Looking ahead to next week, the Pack plays Denver in Lambeau. The Broncos have nothing to play for, while the Pack has everything. Hopefully, Denver rests some its starters. Minessota plays Arizona in the desert, which looks like a Cardinal upset. Seattle plays SF in SF, and the Seahawks are 1-6 on the road. Works for me.
