You're in Minnesota. It's all purple. That's why there's no love for green here.

You know, I didn’t want to

You know, I didn’t want to be the first to comment on my post, but I’ve got a question: Where’s the love for the Packers?

Ever since Green Bay’s record-breaking win against San Diego, all the news coverage has focused on how the Chargers are lost, how the Chargers can turn it around, or how the Chargers failed to win the game. Why no love for Favre and the Pack? Good teams find a way to win games, and that’s what Green Bay did. I was excited after the win because it meant I could finally hear some news about my team (they did beat a Super Bowl favorite, after all, and are 3-0 against playoff teams from last year). Then there was nothing about the Packers.

To get away from Green Bay, they do the same thing all the time with any other team from the Midwest. We’re small-market in Wisconsin and Minnesota, so the bigger story is always going to be how the big team failed to win the game. Come on!

For a Packer fan like myself

For a Packer fan like myself I am thrilled they won the game! On the other hand, I agree that it was an ugly game and a painful one to watch no matter which team you were cheerin' for. I am not sure Favre will retire . . . some feel he sees a lot of potential in the Packers young, but talented front line, still loves to play the game, and feels he can provide them a lot of leadership. I guess we will all just need to wait and see.

As a Packer fan, I'm not too

As a Packer fan, I'm not too disappointed with the outcome of the game. But I do have to admit that it looked like neither team really wanted to win. It was an ugly game with ugly play calling. Going into the game I was pretty sure Favre would come back for another year, but now I'm not so sure.

I'd call that game just

I'd call that game just plain ugly. Have our "offensive" players shut down for the season? Or is this 3-first-down effort indicative of what we can look forward to next year?
