| Ever since the Packers sweater didn't do its job and burst into flames as soon as it touched former Bears coach Mike Ditka, the Packers have been playing like shit. Of course, it's possible that everyone has been suffering from Packer Fever and the team just isn't that good. There was that one game against San Diego that was only won by the seat of their pants - or rather, by a single batted football at the last possible second. My father attributes some of the problems to the Defensive Coordinator, who was the Head Coach of the Carolina Panthers back when the Packers defeated them to go to the Super Bowl in 1997. Others are contending that it is a confidence problem, which could be true unless they're saying that it is lack of confidence. Rod-Gers was pretty cocky earlier in the week about Detroit, so maybe this is the loss that kicks them into gear? |
Now, the loss to the Lions in Lambeau for the first time 24 years was certainly traumatic, even if it was pessimistically predicted by many Packer fans, but it wasn't the only upset this weekend. This was the weekend of upsets, in fact, and that's made it an incredible day for NFL Memes. At best, my calculation will be 50% this weekend, which would put Football Locks (my benchmark) at a dismal 29%. If Seattle wins, which is possible, and somehow Houston wins in Cinci- hahhahaha, I can't even finish that, whatever, the worst my calculation can do is 36%, which is also the best that Football Locks can do. Of course, if they do that well, my calculation will be 43%. Regardless, there isn't much you can say to something like that, except...
