OK, the football season is done and Green Bay is left with a huge gaping hole of "what could have been". My question, (and this was meant for fun, so don't freak out) even though the Packers played very well this year, and we sat back and watched them add W after W. It is natural for someone to see (or hear) something that starts that little ticking in the back of your mind, the one that says, "I kind of don't like the way things are going". Now with the type of season the Packers just had, it was easy to let that little tick, drift away, once the ball got rolling at the next game. I know many people will talk about the defense had them questioning all year. I for one was not in that crowd, believe it or not, I was stupid enough to spend the entire season thinking Capers was holding them back, wasn't deploying all those magnificent plays he had unleashed last year, until the time was right. I mean we had basically the same defense (minus one player) so how could we not be as good as last year. I swore to people right and left that we were just playing possum, and trying to make other teams think we were having defensive problems. But anyway back to my question, what were some of those times during the season that made you stop and think for a minute, and was there a time when you said, now I have some real worries?

I will track mine. My first glitch came in the beginning of the season with the Hawk "finger expression". Not that he did it (I honestly believed that he didn't think about which finger he was showing, or that TV would capture it) but more about his explanation. "It’s a team joke, and we are showing each other the next finger for our rings". That was my first little twinge of "are we putting the cart before the horse". My next moment of reflection was the Rams game. Not that I thought they played terrible, I truly enjoyed the first half and watching what seemed like scoring at will. No it crept in during the 2nd half as I sat and thought, how are the RAMS keeping us scoreless in the 2nd half? That was my first thought that we might be getting a little full of ourselves to be able to take our foot off the gas like that. Now this brings me to the one I think many will put down as their first time of wonder, the KC game. Now the KC game in and of itself did not bother me (I mean only 2 other teams have ever won all of their regular season games, your actually more likely to lose one somewhere than not). No what bothered me was that was the first time that instead of listening to Packer interviews and hearing "we are not worried about undefeated, we are just concentrating on the next opponent", I actually heard some Packers saying "yeah, going undefeated would be nice". I know I'm going to get tore apart for that one, I can't remember actually what I heard in that interview, although I remember who said it, but I got the feeling that some players were actually starting to look ahead and think about "UNDEFEATED". So those were my cringes, the only time I really got an "I feel some trouble" was leading up to the game against the Giants. It just seemed all that week, listening to sports radio and everything, all I heard was "Giants, Giants, Giants". In the end, when it came to picking winners at the end the week every one of them said Green Bay, but all week all I heard was "if I had to pick one team for the upset this week, it would be New York".. So much so that I spent a lot of time yelling back at my radio, were we not 15 - 1.

So those were mine, just curious if anybody else had any of those feelings during the season, and if you did when were they!

I really feel bad that Al Harris did everything that he did for Green Bay, only to have everything that happen to him right before they go on to win the Super Bowl.  Not saying anybody did anything wrong, just the wrong time for him to get injured, go on IR, then be placed on PUP list untill half way through the season, and be cut.  Obviously the Packers where right considering he got picked up by Miami, only to go down to injury again.  Question is (and I think I know the answer) he doesn't get anything for being part of the team for 1/2 the season albeit on PUP list, does he?  I'm pretty sure he won't, but it would have been nice for him to be recognized for everything he did before hand.

Someone mentioned this a few weeks ago, and it has stuck in my mind for sometime.  Now that the Cowboys are 1 - 5, plus they've lost Romo.  What are the chances that the Cowboys start getting rid of players and start the long road to rebuilding.  I'm thinking Marion Barber might be just what the Packers need right about now.  This, in my mind would be awsome, thinking that Rodgers/Barber might just be the new Favre/Levens.  I think TT should not even wait around to see if anything comes up.  He should be on the phone tommorow morning talk to Jerry Jones about a trade.  I know TT doesn't like to trade, but to me this would be a no brainer.

Favre is not the same QB who came into Green Bay last year to a chorus of yells and rants (some cheered).  He smiled and then went about his way and beat us.  My question is, what type of reception do you feel Favre will recieve this year, and if things look as dark for him as it does for him right now, what will his reaction be this year?  Sorry never published so not very flashy, but just wanted to know what people think.
