But get that 1 yard and there's the game. In fairness, maybe a run to the outside was the wrong call, but I stand by the fact that he was right to go for it.

It wasn't the game though. The Chargers still had 3 timeouts. NE would have had to get another set of downs to finish it. I like to go for it but theres a time and a place to be conservative, that was it IMO.
Great win for the Packers. Their D was amazing, although favre did give them a huge helping hand. On a side note, how about Ryan Fitzpatrick? Shame he was on my fantasy bench...grrrrr. H ehas the second highest QB rating in the league. Matt Cassel also has a higher one than Aaron Rodgers?

Mega!
After reflecting on last night, that's our season done. Looking at the Chiefs schedule they're not going to be caught now. Shame, as I believe this team is very talented. The defence last night was sensational. 4th quarter the offence were near unstoppable. Shame about turnovers and special teams again.

Bit peeved about the Vikes-Pack game. Had the Vikings at +3 in the betting and if we are honest that should have won. The Shiancoe catch was a TD. He had full control of it and it was a hell of a catch.
looks like i may go over .500 for the first time. Im 20 points up with them having Marion Barber and evin Boss stillto play so should wn Brees numbers would of been unreal but for the 4 INT still got nearly 15 points. Might look too trade him away im not sure though its a big gamble

Great win for us, especially for Aaron to get one over Brett finally.
Our defence was very good but they played to our strong point in the second half. We had two fit linemans at points so they should run, run, run but they started passing it to our strength for some strange reason.
Offence wise we started converting third downs which was a big help. Cliffy and Bulaga were immense at the tackles also.
Nothing wrong with the Shiancoe catch but it was the right call. If you rule out the Calvin Johnson TD in week 1 for something similar then you have to rule out Shiancoe. I DO NOT AGREE and think it personally should be a TD but correct call.

Your going to get a decent rating when all you do is check down.
Rodgers has more completions, better completion percentage, more yards, more TD's, better average yards per pass, more yards per game, more TD's (also more INT's), more first down passes percentage, longer longest pass, more passes of 20 yards or more. I know who'd i'd rather have!

On a side note how good was Nick collins INT last night, I know it wasn`t the best throw by Brett "interception" Favre but it was a great athletic play by Collins to throw himself at the ball and come down with it
