    Minnesota vs. Green Bay

    Favre has had a great game and is the toast of MNF. The NFL is just using this game to set up his return to Lambeau field later this year. I'm sure that game gets flexed for Sunday night football.

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    Soccermom and I are having a great weekend with our Bengals winning and Bret Favre having a killer game.

      This game is great for me because I have, on my fantasy team, Adrian Peterson, Aaron Rogers, Brett Favre and Chester Taylor. Rogers and Peterson are starting. I should have gone with my gut and started Favre, knowing this is precisely the type of game he goes off in, but Rogers has been decent.

      However, in the real game, Rogers is getting murdered. 7 sacks?

        This game for me sucked. I have AP and he has done half of his projected stats. The lost fumble hurt. My opponent has Minnesota's defense who is killing Rogers. So now I will fall 2-2. Dammit I should have started Derrick Mason.

          This is definitely my low scoring week, but I will still win. 4-0, the only undefeated team in the league!

            What exactly was supposed to happen as a result of this game? There has been so much hype that I started to think that there may be some massive implications riding on the outcome.

            Were the Packers supposed to realize that they never should have trifled with Brett Favre? Was the franchise supposed to collapse under the weight of the pressure? Or was something more impactful supposed to result from the one loss in the loss column?

            When Favre returns to Green Bay, what is supposed to happen there? Some fans will boo. Some will cheer him. The end result will be a Loss for one of the two teams.

            yawn.

              After this game, I'm persuaded, if not convinced, that Aaron Rogers is a better QB than Brett Favre right now.

                Don't forget who's right behind you in 2nd at 3-1 - Mr. Auto-Draft! I would have beat you this week had we gone head to head. (You are the only one I would have beat, however. Sheesh!)

                  Aaron Rodgers will never make it past temp.

                    Sorry, but I have better things to do than watch a 3 hour ESPN dry hump of Brett Favre. Just one of many reasons I don't watch the NFL anymore.

                      You should really invest in a DVR. 1 hour and 15 minutes, and I got to skip over all the dry humping.

                          For a Packer fan, that was ugly. Green Bay had better get both lines figured out in a hurry, or it will be a long season.

                          In spite of running for his life most of the game, Rogers did have a pretty good game.

                          I tend to agree, right now Rogers is the better QB, but Farve still has something left.

                          I may be small, but I'm slow.

                            Going into this game less than half a point separated me and FF opponent. I had Longwell kicking and AP. He had Minnie's defense and Jennings. So after cooling off in a game where the defense had nearly twice as many FF points as Adrian Peterson I can comment on this game.

                            Aaron Rodgers is good. He is really good. I'd argue he's a top 5 QB. In fact I may even put him in my top 3. What he does with that offensive line is remarkable. He is running for his life every play. If he had the protection Favre had last night he would have dissected that defense. They should have ran a lot more misdirection, draws, screens, etc to slow down that defense. Jared Allen was bringing it on every play, and they never did much to burn that pass rush. Conversely, GB kept dropping their best pass rusher Kampmann into coverage. WTF? That was like watching Hy-may Hill's use of Jorgensen.

                            For all of Favre's waffling, I am glad he came back if not just for that game. That game was masterful and awesome to watch. The throws he was making were ridiculous. I covet that kind of arm. The first TD pass he threw across his body to the other side of the field? Holy shnikes. The second while backpedaling? That may be the greatest arm ever. Those were lasers he was throwing. I bet his receivers hands hurt. The Vikings are legit and bonafide contenders. Their defense is stout. They have the best running game in the NFL and now teams can't just key on stopping AP. They're going to be difficult to stop.

                              You must not read CB very much if you think everyone there is dry humping Bronco, Hall or anyone else on that team.

                              CB is the place I go to when I want 36 wins out of 44 games to feel more like 18 wins.
