We were six and Oh!
Then we beat Baltimore on the "wide left"!
When the going is good, or when the games are so exciting and we come out on top, I guess I don't have much to say. The plays speak for themselves. This is exactly what I expected from our team, so I am very pleased.
there are always talking points... and I will be sure to do a better job from here on out of writing my post game thoughts. Sometimes I was too nerve wracked, sometimes I was too happy, sometimes I was too drunk to sit and rehash all we had just seen.
Now we're still 6 and 1 heading into Packer Week the Sequel!
Then we hit the bye week. I would love to be 7 and 1, obviously, with the season sweep of the Pack heading into the bye week. I am curious about Berrian, Winfield and EJs true health. I am looking forward to see if Sidney can keep it up. If Jared Allen will have more monster games and if we can get AP some home runs. I am very happy with Favre's play, he has been instrumental in making us 6-1 and not 4 and 3 i feel.
We had Pittsburgh on the chopping table and we got unlucky. A bad tip for a pick six... the phantom tripping call etc etc but at the end of the day we had them at the end and we shot ourselves in the foot.
How about that Percy Harvin? I am so pleased we took him. More props to CHILLY. where are all the CHILLY haters now? He is the architect of this team, he attracted, traded for an "curated" this roster so he should get props.
Some people sill yack about "play-calling" ( like on our game ending pick six, "shoulda done a draw play" etc. ) but that's another blog. Football is the only sport where play-calling can be so pivotal in an argument. You never here people complain about what shot a golfer chose to approach with, or if they're running too many pick and rolls in the NBA, or if a pitcher shouldn't have thrown two sinkers in a row. But you always here people argue hypotheticals about play-calling, which is soooo easy to do AFTER you've seen what defense scheme the team ran on the play that was a "bad play call." I liked the screen, great way to beat a blitz, it sailed inches high, got tipped, bad luck, not bad play. Maybe he catches it and gets tackled, and? then it's just good defense.
Anyways I digress. I will leave you with some of my snaps from the season thus far. Sadly I lost mine of the Favre - Lewis connection
The Set Up
Percy's first Kick Return TD
After San Fran Game Winning TD
Bad teams find ways to lose
Then we beat Baltimore on the "wide left"!
Then lost to PITT on those kooky returns.
It happens.
Six and One and on top of our division heading into Green Bay. Will we sack him 8 times again? Will they hold AP to under 60 yards again? Will we beat them deep on some blitzes? Who knows. "That's why we play the games" haha
