Yeah, I have gameday up on the computer and between plays in the football game I'm flipping to the Brewers game.


I have the two TV setup going on... pretty bad for a 26 yo man...

Wow, I think Al got away with one there. Makeup call from the interference earlier.

Listening to Kornheiser and watching Jeff Triplette officiate is murder. Just murder.

But things going pretty good now....

Rodgers will lead this drive for a TD. Book it.

Rodgers is very impressive.

I can't get over how quick Rodgers is, he has looked good on this drive...

Brandon Jackson is pretty terrible at catching screens. He always turns himself around.

Kornheiser is right, no reason not to take a chance...

If Jackson breaks a tackle tonight, drinks on me. JK this guy looks like he is afraid to get hit. Is Grant hurt or are they limiting him???

Darn, crappy way to end the half but Rodgers has looked GREAT. Our defense has been pretty solid as well. I'll take a 10-3 lead at the half, would love 13-3 or 17-3 though.

Why not make a throw to the end zone? We had 26 seconds left, or thereabouts. We could have snapped with about 12 seconds left, and if we completed a pass to the middle of the field, stopped the clock before it expired. At least run it down to about 10, take the timeout, then take a shot to the end zone. If it's not completed, then you bring on the kicking unit. And it's not as if a field goal is even a guarantee, as we all saw. Hyper conservative play call by McCarthy which created a sour end to an uplifting first half by Rodgers and the Pack.

Little premature to give up and kick a field goal don't ya think? And to add insult to injury the kick was blocked. On a good note Rodgers is dynamite :)

Agreed. They were on the 15 with a timeout no reason not to take a shot.

McCarthy sometimes falls into that trap. He plays "not to lose."

We're getting absolutely no pressure on Jackson and now they're inside our 20.

Hopefully that missed FG doesn't haunt us in the end.

I thought that was a fumble right there by Peterson. He was hanging the ball out for a while and I was hoping someone would jar it, and they did. If the refs got the call incorrect it's a real shame because that would have been a defensive touchdown. I'd like to see the replay.
