It was only the Seahawks—a crummy team (Sorry, Shawn). But we dominated that crummy team—no second half slump! That is new and bespeaks discipline.
I still worry about the O-line and probably will until I see them beat a good defense playing their best. We may see that quite soon. But for the moment, they're holding their own and I'm grateful. Moreover, this was a win in the cold. All I could think of was that second Bears game in 2007 and that blasted NFC Championship game against the Giants. Today, we won in the cold. The Green Bay Packers may, just may, be winter's team again.
For the first time in a while, I could enjoy that delicious jaded feeling of casual half-interest in the second half of the game, indulging in idle chatter with others, knowing my beloved Packers had everything under control and that victory was well in hand. I have missed that luxurious, decadent feeling reserved for the most blessed sport-fan bastards in all the earth and am glad to have had it back for an afternoon.
Playoffs, baby! GO PACK GO!!!!!

This Seahawks team is as bad as I have ever seen them. I am talking Rick Mirer Ken Behring bad. Listening to sportstalk radio last week and the host was asking listeners nationwide "What one thing do you want Santa to bring your favorite NFL team?". And I am thinking one thing?, we need at the very 5 things (2 guards, 2 tackles and a center, and that's just for starters. Coach Mora Jr. is on notice. He is a clown just like his Dad. But it is not his fault that the last GM regime left the team in such disarray. The new GM, whomever is lucky(?) enough to get the job will have certainly have his work cut out for him. It's gonna be 3 years, best case scenario, before the Squakers can even smell the playoffs. rough stuff.
