Angry Thoughts....

I was going to wait until halftime of the game to post my first half thoughts, but in fear that the game is going to get ugly here I am posting with 10 mins left in 2nd quarter.


  • The forward progress rule is lame. If I guy goes backwards with the ball and is tackled, he should be spotted there. Harris stole that ball from Owens, I don't care about that forward progress.
  • Ryan Grant can straight run the ball. We should use him more.
  • That was a nice ballsy call to try that on-sides kick, and it should have worked.
  • Romo has so much time in the pocket he could write a love letter to whatever supermodel he is dating.
  • That Bush guy is no Woodson.
  • The Packers have not completed a pass more than 15+ yards, yet they have attempted 9 times. (Try dink and dunk passes).
  • edGrimley's father is halfway right with 4 interceptions, Favre already has 2.
  • I hope this loss doesn't affect the Packers down the road. They can still finish 14-2 or 13-3 and have a by.

Update: Aaron Rodgers is in the game. Rodgers who??


Post Game Thoughts (Update)

  • The Packers actually made it into a game.
  • Agreeing with edGrimley, the NFL Network is terrible with games. The announcers are terrible, the sound was too quick, the camera angles sucked, terrible.
  • In a game of that magnitude how could the Packers and the refs let it be decided by penalties. The Cowboys had 70 yards, the Packers had 180 penalty yards. (On fewer penalties).
  • When 2 refs disagree on a call, it should automatically turn to Instant Replay. Two refs disagreed on the two biggest plays, both affecting the outcome of the game. Al Harris stripping TO of thew ball on the first drive and Trevon Williams' phantom pass interference on Dallas' last drive.
  • That was a terrible decision by McCarthy to kick that field goal at the end on 4th and inches. There are many reasons why that is.
  • The future looks ok with Rodgers actually. He seemed calm, confident, and under control. Our biggest strength in our receivers, we must keep them at any cost.
  • McCarthy may actually be a very good halftime motivator. The Packers seem to do better in the 2nd Half.
  • The saying of the day was by Bryant Gumbel at the very end of the game when Trevon Williams was returning the kickoff after Dallas' last field goal and was leveled at the 18. "Trevon Williams just got baptized at the 18."

Bryant Gumble is a terrible announcer. If they want people to pay for the NFL network, they should at least put a better product out there.

My favorite quote was when he said that McCarthy said Marion Barber was the heartbeat of the Packers team. At least that is what it sounded like.

Yes kicking the field goal was absolutely horrible decision

They should never let Favre play the cowboys again, he's so demoralized from a whole career of never winning in dallas that he will make bad passes all game all the time in an absurd attempt to prove something and one-up dallas's QB
