Pre-season Week 3

Just as a recap, we won!!!!

Packers 44 over Cardinals 37. It was close in the second half. Looked like they just might catch up a few times but in the end, the old green & yellow pulled thru to bring us to 3-0 in the pre-season! Next up the Tenn. Titan's on 9/3.

The Titan's lost this week to the Browns 17-23. They had a stronger first half than second and seemed to lose momentum as Cleveland maintained, could it have been the Young effect?

I'm eager to see McCarthy/Aaron (and maybe Matt) Take on this team in less than 4 days! Hoping to make it a 4-0 pre-season.

3-0

3-0 Feels pretty good, even if it's just the pre-season.

We had a strong first half, loved the boys. Was looking forward to the second and felt my bottom go out when we hadn't scored by the start of the 4th. Then AZ nearly CAUGHT UP! Oh, wow! Not AGAIN, we can't go down like the Favre years or it'll just show it wasn't Favre but the team/coaching staff that let wins slip from our grasp the past few years. Never fear however we won!!!! 44-37, Wonder what ole McCarthy was thinking having Matt play so much of the second half? Wonder if he's glad he did or not. Hope Aaron is smiling, he had a stronger half :-)

Happy Packer Day!!

yes any game day is Packer Day

AZ Here We Come

With nearly a day til kick off left I found myself wondering what the Cardinals have in store for us. It's the first time we've met on the field in the last 3 years and last time we won, though we had home field advantage. It was also a regular season game with McCarthy/Favre at the helm. This time we are there, without Favre. Can Aaron pull through? Will we warm up to the kid even if he doesn't? Yes he's a Packer! But still Fridays Game should be one to watch.

Come on McCarthy, pull out a win!

Vikings

So I signed onto my e-mail this morning only to be met with a Vikings fan comment. What?! Peeps, haven't y'all been listening? Just say no to Vikings! Go Packers All the WAY!!!

I think it's time for a new cheese head... My cat ate the last one. It was kinda funny!

Winning

So far so good. Off to a 2-0 pre-season start! Wishing the Vikings weren't tied with us though. Makes for good football but still would like the advantage of having at least one win over them. I know it's early yet too. We'll get there. We'll go the distance.

Go Green & Gold!

As I prepared to sign-in to my e-mail this morning I saw startling news.... Brett Favre to play for the Vikings. Instantly, I was red HOT! Does this man not know when to stop? Do I or anyone else need to remind him of last season? Or how about the last 5 years?

I admit, Favre was my Hero at first. I loved him in the 90's but he hasn't played to form in sometime. The interceptions are out of control and his lust for the game seems to have gone to the wayside.

This year he returns with questions about his arm. It's untried after surgery. He hasn't really played with the team he's signed with and pre-season has already begun. His ego is bigger than the state of Minnesota and yet he's back. How does he think he'll do with a team that has already bonded? He's discarding two potential starting QB's and he'll be 40 in two months, old for football standards. This does not bode well for him.

Let's not also forget that he is indirectly attacking the team that gave him the chance to be great to start with. Greenbay signed him when he was still very green himself. We loved him and watched him grow. We cheered for him and with him in 97 and told him it'd be alright in 98, there was always next year. When his father died, we all cried for him and were proud he still played that day. When retirement first came up we all prayed for one more season, and repeated that prayer season after season. Then when he finally said good-bye we mourned the loss of our great Brett. That post season we held our breathe as rumors whirled he'd be back, in April and again in May. When we went with Aaron, some where angry, but Favre waited to long, he'd strung us along for to long. He had chances to comeback and he drug it out. What were we to do? Loss Aaron? then what would happen the following season? Apparently the same thing. I'm tired of it, Brett Favre. Retire already!! And this time STAY RETIRED!!! Give us time to forgive you for dragging us through the last few years & how dare you go to Minnesota!?! Really? We'll be waiting come Nov 1st, and you'll see how it feels to be on the other teams walking into Lambeau.

Tell me, is anyone else as irritated about this as I am?
