Oh Man.

I really don't know what to say tonight. I mean I thought the whole week into the night was going very well and we were derailed by the Minnesota Vikings. You can say "Well its only a seven point defeat" but that doesn't even begin to describe how things went especially in the second half.

The first thing we have to look at is the offensive line was like a Spanish bullfighter just doing a big fat ole the entire game. They were helpless the whole night and I worry that Aaron Rodgers will be hit more than a crash-test dummy by week 8. To make matters worse, Daryn Colledge went out with an injury and you have Mark Tauscher lifting waiting for a team to sign him him in Madison, Wisconsin. This just has to happen now especially if Colledge is out for even a week. Eight sacks is inexcusable for an offensive line at any level... HS, College Football, and no doubt about it the NFL.

The other thing that has to be addressed that the two turnovers plus one goal line stand in the Green Bay scoring area (30-35 yards heading into the end zone). The first I would put a bit on Aaron Rodgers and the O-Line but there are a lot of lineman who struggled with Jared Allen. If the Packers score field goal or touchdown before the Vikings, it might have sway the entire ball game. The second one all on A-Rod on the ten yard out that was picked by Jennings. First off, the only thing I agree with Monday Night Football cast most of the night (They were all over Favre's junk the whole night, got annoying) that play call should have never been called. The final one, we should have went with an A-Rod sneak on 3rd and Goal instead of a pass call.

I really do not want to talk much about Brett Favre because he will be over everywhere on ESPN and other places the next couple weeks. Favre played his ass off. He tore apart the secondary more so Al Harris but I hope people do not jump back on the Favre bandwagon. Remember, no quarterback at the age of 40 has won a playoff game ever. He will break down because its a long season and the Packer run defense will be studied for weeks on how to stop Adrian Peterson.

Don't worry Packer fans its only Game Four. Two back in the division in October doesn't mean as much as November.
