I was mostly concerned that we were doing nothing on offense, and that we'd give up a couple FGs and then a big special teams play or a turnover and suddenly we'd be playing from behind all game. However, I did tell a few people to shut up as it was a 3 point game in the 1st quarter and they were acting like we were down 14 in the 4th.

No biggie King. I just wasn't nervous one bit. I knew we'd win by double digits. I didn't expect this much of a blowout though.

Classic Queens newsgroup thread. "I Never Missed a Game." LOL. It's from 2006. Before they got their hopes up. LOL

I initially misread this statement as "Don't let the odor hit you on the way out." 😉

What a terrific win!

Some very interesting things emerge when I got to watch the game on PVR.

Capers blitzed early; he did a very nice job especially in the first Q getting pressure on Favre. Players hit Favre, caused him to hurry, and I think it payed off really well later in teh game when Favre just could not get into a rhythm. He missed some passes he normally makes to some relatively open players.

When on the road, you want to receive. Especially when you win the coin toss, you want to receive the football. McCarthy deferred; which is pretty unusual and downright confused me. Silverstein, though, made a good point: it might show how much McCarthy trusts his defence. The D is playing at a very high level right now.

Interesting to note that during the past week, McCarthy said that they finally could get back to fundamentals and emphasize them in a way they hadn't since week 4. Very interesting to hear that, and while I only focused in on Rodgers, it was quite evident Rodgers was playing very fundamentally sound. Poise, follow through with feet set, and beyond that he seemed to have a very good internal clock on when to get rid of the football (2 sacks - one by Jared Allen and Edwards' first sack - aside).

One particular play - where they showed a replay - I saw Chad Clifton dropping back with one arm blocking Allen and the other helping Colledge with his man. That was pretty awesome, lol.

I would not want to be a Viking DB this week; the entire team has a right to be angry with them. I know some Defensive players were (Allen, Kevin Willaims (lol), and Edwards) were visibly upset. They were downright bad.

Brett Favre is doing to be everyones thanksgiving turkey this year. He dosent need a pop up timer to show hes done.

The last time his meat timer popped up, he took pictures of it on his cell phone.

Missed the game, was driving back from Rochester. But I did have the pleasure of listening to an unenthused Paul Allen on the radio. All I have to say is revenge is a dish best served cold, and our new Dr. Cool Aaron Rodgers must have had one whale of game.

A big thank you goes out to Uncle Ted for trading in our old rust bucket for a new Cadillac to enjoy for the next decade. I hope the Favrebillies finally realize that Packer management made the right choice even if we had to eat a shitburger last year. Come on back Favre fans and enjoy the new and improved Packers. You're welcome and you won't be disappointed.

Paul Allen will always hold a special place in my heart for being the first commentator to have the courage to call Brett Favre on his shit.

Instead of capping on Favre, we should really be giving credit to Dom Capers and the D players. Look, put ANY QB in his shoes. The first five times you go back to pass, you get hit. How many times was he hit that game? He was hit all day long. Of course he's going to be off.

Kudos to Capers. We got through their OL and put Favre on his back all game long. That's how you win games, folks. Put the opposing QB on his back.
