I Don\'t Hate Favre, I Hate Childress.

I Don\’t Hate Favre, I Hate Childress.

So here we are, the week we’ve been dreading/looking forward to since that fateful day Favre flew to Minneapolis and signed his name on the dotted line and became a member of the Minnesota Vikings.

What Is Wrong With The Running Game?

What Is Wrong With The Running Game?

Three weeks in and you can count on one hand the number of times Ryan Grant has had a hole to hit. Of those times, you only need a finger or two to count the explosive runs from the Packers running game.

Gut Reactions: Week Three

Gut Reactions: Week Three

Great win! (sigh) Why could I not get pumped up for this game at all?
McCarthy is one stubborn SOB.
Rodgers did a great job today feeling edge pressure and extending plays
That said, he still held the ball too long on some 5 step drops in the first half

The zone blocking system is not working. [...]
