Favre No Longer 0-3 Against KC / 7-1
I still can't figure out why we were 3 1/2 point underdogs in this game. Not 'cause we won - just can't figure that out. No respect, maybe?
Anyway, those odds were all for naught as it was another wild one in Kansas City, but the Pack held off the Chiefs by scalping them at the end - scoring 17 points in the last 3:15 minutes, to win 33-22. Couple items of note:
*Favre has now beaten all 31 other teams in the NFL (he was previously 0-3 against KC). Only two other QB's have done that EVER - Manning and Brady (both did it last weekend).
*Favre's 5th 300+ yards game this season.
*First time KC has given up 20+ in a game this season.
*Not since the Vince Lombardi 1960's Packers has the team had 6 straight road wins (going back to the end of last season - one of Lombardi's teams had 8).
*Packer record of 11-1 (going back to their last 4 wins at the end of last season) is tied with New England as the best in the NFL.
This game was wacky. Some petty calls by the refs (I suppose that can be said for both teams). Back and forth with the lead changes. Couple INTS for us and some very, very nice bombs/passes (most off his back foot) by Favre again, who showed his arm strength is just as good after a short week (remember the Monday Night game?). To all you critics, sports gurus and so-called experts, for shame for not picking GB on this one. I don't "pick" games. Ever. I say, 'i hope the Packers can win', 'i think they should be able to win' - but you never know week to week. And I don't wanna sound like every other know-it-all and make predictions and then when I'm wrong sound like an idiot. I mean, the Detroit game will be tough on Thanksgiving or the Cowboys the week after (both are away for the Packers). THOSE are games where I could possibly see the Pack as the underdog. But at 7-1...how in the hell do we make believers out of some of you???
