The Lack Of Posts Will Be Ending In The Near Future
I wasn't really inspired to write about the Green Bay Packers after they let the Colts earn a come from behind win last Sunday. Then I found myself in the middle of a brutal week my job, working days and nights, so I haven't been posting over the past few days. While the week's not over yet, my schedule will be back to normal starting next week.
I liked the above shot of Dan Lauria dressed as Vince Lombardi because of the bit about redemption. As bad as it seemed last Sunday, the 2012 season reminds me a lot of the 2009 season (early season problems on the offensive line led to a slow start). The Packers put it all together by the end of the season and made the playoffs. Redemption.
On the other hand, if the Packers o-line can't block Cory Redding of the Colts (2 sacks last Sunday), how many sacks with J.J. Watt have next Sunday night? (shudder)

I keep trying to tell the gloom-and-doom pessimists that the Packers really aren't in any worse shape now than they were at this point of the 2010 season.
They were a game better (3-2) that year, but had just lost to the Dolphins and were about to lose at home to the Redskins.
And, of course, they put it all together by the end of the season and won the Super Bowl!
I don't know what it is about "It's not how you start, but how you finish." that is so hard to understand, but it's something that the Packers have demonstrated in both of the last two seasons.
Hey, wouldn't it be something if we could have a healthy Mike Neal and a healthy James Starks both performing the way some of us expected them to for the rest of the season? :)
I don't think we're in terrible position, but the Houston game is HUGE. If we lose we're 3 games back and thats alot to make up. If we win we head into the easier part of the schedule w/ a major victory and alot of momentum. Just one of the Sea or Indy games goes our way and we're in really good shape, losing both puts us in an almost must win situation.
Being 3 games back isn't a death blow at this point w/ all our division games left, but it really puts us in a difficult position where we MUST sweep our division games.
Hey Pat... Haven't heard from you about APC. You OK? Hope to hear from you soon.
The one bright spot I'd note on their record is that they're 1-0 against the NFC North. No matter where they stand against the Vikings and Bears now, they can quickly move ahead if they beat them later.
