Football Rants

After watching football today, a few observations:

• The Packers are better than their record, or at least they should be. Their defense is good, real good, except against the run. They can't tackle to save their mother's life. Their secondary is possible the best in the league, and they can go 6-7 players deep out there. You can blame today's loss on one person, Mike McCarthey (excluding my wife). He made some horrible calls at the end of the half and at the end of the game. It is never a good idea to "settle" for a field goal on the road when it will still be a 50 yard field goal. At the end of the game they should have been trying to score a TD instead of running out the clock. Horrible play calling throughout. Jennings and Driver only had 8 total catches. They are your 2 best players on offense and should be having a total of 15-20 catches a game, especially a close game. Should have won.
• If Packers lose next week (which they will) their season is officially over.
• The Rams and Lions are two of the worst teams I have seen in years. The Rams gave up 47 points, 40 in the first half, unbelievable. The Lions got killed by the Jags, and are 0-9. They just went out and got Culpepper to improve their offense, and what do they do with him this week, they throw the ball only 10 times, 10 times. That makes no sense. In a game that they were losing the whole game for, why would you only pass it 10 times? Especially when your best offensive player is a WR.
• After the game when the analysts were talking the TV told me that the Raiders are highly likely to sign Michael Vick this off-season, once he is out of the clink. That would just be a match made in heaven I think. The Raiders are were careers go to die (Sapp, Moss, Walker, etc).
