Former Packer Girl's thoughts

I am so sad about Brett leaving the Packers. What a stupid stupid move on Ted Thompson's part. I am sure he is the main reason Brett is gone and with it the chance to even come close to a Super Bowl. His pride got in the way of letting one of the greatest QB in History get away just so Aaron his choice could play. I wish Aaron and the packers all the best I really do but right now I am just disgusted with the whole situation. It will be a tough call if the Packers (A BIG IF) we even make it to the playoffs (who I will want to win) when they play the Jets against Brett. You just might see me wearing a Jet #4 Jersey instead! I wish Brett all the best and I hope he goes on to break even more records and prove TT and Murphy wrong (and everyone else who doubted him). TT should have let him play he worked well with the other players and the fans loved him.  Maybe my train has left the Packers station as well at least while TT and Murphy are leading that is...

I think the first thing I felt was disbelief when I first heard that Brett Favre was retiring from the NFL.  I thought for sure he would change his mind there had to be some kind of mistake. But today when I saw the live interview the moment he cried I was crying, he is right it is like a death you have to say goodbye even though you don't want too.  I do understand why he is retiring. He is tired he needs rest, he needs to be with his family.

It is awesome Favre has played 253 straight games never missing any. I can't say I could have done that. Bless Deanna's heart she gave him up for us! I understood as a parent how much he gave up to play the game he loved. His oldest daughter grown up in a blink of an eye.  So I hope he takes the time to just enjoy not doing anything he has earned it.

 All good things do come to an end even though we wish they could go on common sense says it can't. I told my friend everything is changing lately everything! Nothing is the same. New quarterback (who I am sure we will grow to love) however with that said I am not ready just yet to put on an Aaron Rodgers #12 jersey, I will wear my #4 Favre jersey to root for the pack!    Thank you Brett you are awesome and I for one will always love and miss you.  We will never forget you. #4 forever!

 

I  feel somewhat better knowing that the Giants brought a major upset to the Patriots after beating the Packers and knocking us out of the SuperBowl a couple weeks ago. I can honestly say I was not surprised either.  The Washington Post and everyone thought the Giants couldn't do it  but they did.

For the most part I thought the game was boring because the Patriots held the giants to a 7-3 lead until the last quarter. I began suspecting maybe there was some kind of conspiracy theory. Especially after the Patriots passed over a field goal attempt  to try and make 13 yards on the 4th down? What is that? Aroganance? That was the turn for worse in my opinion for the Patriots. I mean a 18-0 record is amazing but when it comes down to it it doesn't mean jack because when it really counted to win they lost. (But after hearing about them taping people during games and practice of other teams they cheated and cheaters eventually get caught)  The Giants beat them! they were the underdogs only 3 other teams and they were AFC wildcard teams caused a major upset over the favorite, but this time it was for the NFC! Sweet. The Giants played well and man did they hit Brady over and over again so it really wasn't a fluke they played best last night.  

The best part I thought of the whole SuperBowl (although after the Packers lost I wasn't going to watch it at first... I called it the "STUPID BOWL" since the Pack wasn't going to be in) but I couldn't help it I watched it. The commercials were funny but the Tom Petty half time show was great!   goes to show you no matter how good your record if you lose one and it's over.  Anyway Great game Giants and congrats!  Next Year Giants we'll see if the Pack take the title back to GreenBay!

I think I let myself get too caught up in this season!  It was so hard to watch the game last night. Both teams out in the extreme cold -24! Who does that ? Some did not even wear sleeves!  I wonder if anyone suffered from frostbite, judging from the Coach of the Giants he may have gotten some frostbite. They actually showed Favre was putting heat packs in his face mask. Everyone says the game should go on but in baseball when the weather is extreme they stop the game or reschedule but  not  in Football!  They are like some kind of marines or something oooorah!

We lost or should I say we gave it to the Giants! How many times can one miss a field goal? Then I thought  for sure we would win when we went into overtime. Afterall we won  the coin toss, but once again Favre threw an interception and my heart sank. Deja-vu all over again.  I shut the TV off immediately I did not want to hear I told you so from all the sceptics that have bashed the Packers on and off. 

To my horror on one of the Wisconsin news stations (not fox6) consulted a psychic who predicted the Packers would win boy did she miss it, I hope they didn't pay her for her reading otherwise they should call the police they were robbed!   When king Saul did this in the Old Testament he lost his thone. Maybe they brought a curse on us for what they did. Maybe not ...I think the Giants had a Giant... Jacobs and lets not forget Bradshaw  who our defense had a hard time bringing down. Harris needed help I think he was left to fend for himself. Grant was shut down because I am sure the Giants were ready for Him. I do however applaud our defense they protected Favre and sacked Manning a couple times ouch!!   Lets not forget all the penalties we had like I said we gave them the game. I do admit  Eli did a great job he has a great arm on him.

The loss was due to too many errors, too cold and giving the opponent too many chances.

I am wondering if this is weighing on Favres mind today whether he will come back again or should he pass the torch on to Aaron Rodgers?  We are a young team with a great coach if we keep playing this well sooner or later maybe we'll make it to another SuperBowl.  Thanks Pack maybe next seaon.

To all you predictors who you think you know will win,  you are just like the psychic like the Wisconsin news station consulted you really don't know Jack! Maybe teams would do better if people would just let them play instead of trying to guess who will win.  People analyze too much. All we can do is hope and wait and see.

I hope the Patriots win the SuperBowl afterall they really have earned it with their perfect record, but the Giants could come in and take it all we will see. Let's not forget the Giants did not lose by much last time the two played one another. It just goes to show you, that you can win every game but if you lose one you lose the chance to become SuperBowl champions.  However all said, I really don't care since the Packers are not in contention the chances are slim to none that I will even watch the SuperBowl.

Finally, the Packers are a young team with GREAT potential so  I will wait till August when once again I will hope the Pack can win them all and demonstrate the Champions they really in the Fans eyes. Go Pack Go!
