We Should've Worn the Retro's / 10-2

Before the game yesterday I was anxious, nervous and ready to throw up. As it turns out, that's how I felt during the game.

Packers lost to Dallas, 37-27. Crappy defensive, too many penalties, key defensive guys not playing and Favre smacks his elbow and dislocates his shoulder in the 2nd quarter and has to leave the game.

I could sit here and bitch about what went wrong - they'll have to fix it if we wanna get a 2nd chance in the NFC Championship game (if we get there and if we meet Dallas). Dallas looked like a very excellent team in all phases of the game. When we play "our game", we match up - hell, we were within three points in the 4th quarter with our back-up QB, Aaron Rogers out of Cal. He looked very good. Cowboys should be happy for the win, but they shouldn't be content. What if we were at full strength? It's not an excuse - it's a fact. And I'm not saying we would've beaten them had we been at full strength either. Just something to think about.

Latest word on Brett's elbow is that he will be ready to play Oakland. I've have nothing else to say - I'm not gonna beat it into the ground.

Next week: Oakland Raiders (3-8 ) at Green Bay (10-2)
