This is hopefully the low point of the season. I am not going to play the
blame game here so I will start with the good.
My Offensive MVP is James Jones again, he had 4 catches for 46 yards with 2
touchdowns and between him and Randall Cobb playing so well I think we can
afford to let Greg Jennings rest and heal the groin until mid-November.
On Defense I am giving the MVP to Mike Neal who had one of the four Packer
sacks and a tackle for a loss in his first game back. Losing BJ Raji to injury still hurt as the Defense
was gassed in the 4th quarter. Also what a great play by first round
draft pick Nick Perry. He had a huge sack and forced fumble wiped out by a bad
call. It was not a helmet to helmet hit but that is what was called and we were
not the same team after that play.
Obviously the injuries to Cedric Benson and Jermichael Finley had a huge effect as
well but I don't want to make excuses or blame the kicker Mason Crosby for
missing two Field goals. We
need to give credit to Andrew Luck and the entire Indianapolis Colts team for an
emotional effort, they wanted it more and got the win!
It is very important to always find the good in every situation so here we
go:
The NFC North won't be easy and boring this season. The Packers now get to
come from behind and pull this thing out. Forget Wild-card, the best way into the
playoffs is by winning the division which we should still be able to do:
Minnesota 4-1
Chicago 4-1
Green Bay 2-3
Detroit 1-3
The Vikings are better but no way do they
stay this hot plus the Packers can make up these two games by beating the
Vikings twice in December. It's not how you start the season, it's how you
finish. Hopefully all the main people will be healthy by then including Greg
Jennings.
The Packers have already beaten the Bears once, will do it again at Chicago
on December 16 and hopefully we wind up with at least one more win than Chicago
by seasons end. I think we will but the Bears look like they are for real so I
do expect that it might take until December to catch them.
This is the NFL, this is fun. No need for anger, don't worry about things
you can not control, don't let the loss get you down. The game was still fun to
watch and now we know for sure that this season EVERY GAME MATTERS!!!

P.S. I can't wait for Sunday Night at the Houston Texans who will be 5-0
with a win tomorrow night. BEING THE UNDERDOG WILL BE FUN!!!
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS WRONG WITH OUR PACKERS?
