I update this blog almost every day. It could be about anything: politics & current events, religion, work, geek-related materials. Sometimes I just post random thoughts.

Packer Post-Game: Week 1

Detroit 17, Packers 3

Wow...I have watched a lot of football games throughout the years, but this definitely has to be one of the most boring games of football that I have watched in a long time. Regardless of the Packers poor performance, there was not too much to watch.

The Good News: Interestingly, if you take out Ahmad Carroll's four penalties, the defense actually did not do too bad. They gave up 17 points, but they didn't give up all that many big plays. I thought BJ Sander did a good job of punting the ball. However, there weren't too many other positive things to note.

The Bad News: Too many penalties, 14 that I remember, unless some more happened after I stopped watching the game with 4:00 minutes to go. The offense never really clicked, as there were dropped passes and many poor run plays. The defense still doesn't look like it knows how to tackle. Some players thought arm tackles were sufficient; others thought that simply ducking down and trying to cut under someone counts as a tackle. I thought the new defensive coordinator was teaching fundamentals. Right...

...next week, a match-up with the Browns. This could be interesting. I will attempt to be confident.

Well, if there is one thing we can count on, it's "The Bears Still Suck". Thanks for the gift of Darrin Sharper, it was the only touchdown for the Vikings today. Who would have thought the day would come when the comment could be made that the Vikings Defense outshined the Offense? The Lions, not only leading the division, were the only North team to score an offensive touchdown. Sad...

What's this about overseeing two buildings? How did this opportunity come about?
