just rewatched the game on nfl network replay:
jolly's headbutt has to be one of the worst penalties i've ever seen. probably one of the worst football decisions ive ever seen.
atari bigby is god awful.
i couldnt find a single good thing to write about the first half. 3 weeks in between favre-ageddon's to get healthy and the first half mirrored the game at the metrodome.
the packers got 2 huge breaks in both games with the matthews fumble on ADP and the grant "fumble" that wasn't called or else both games could have been even worse.
i was thinking how sluggish the team always looks and how they never seem to play a complete football game.
Bedard's article says it perfectly.
knock on wood...while this team still commits way too many penalties to do anything late in the year, i have been impressed when the turnover ratio. arod does hang onto the ball a lot longer than he should, but he's pretty good at not giving it away (cutlahhhhhhhhh)
thought this would be a game to see if the team belonged in that second tier group of teams in the nfl. i guess they could slide into the 6th playoff spot, but i think they're in a spot where they need to win 4 in a row. wins v. sf and dallas would go a long way.
