Post game chat with Cleft Crusty (at Vikings)

Do you think it was presumptuous of Brett Favre to give the football for 421 to the head of the NFL Hall of Fame?

How does he know he'll EVER be voted in? I think the real Cliff might still be on the HOF committee, AND he's very hard to please.

Crosby has been great on kickoffs, but next week is Hester. Will the Packers hope that Crosby can put in through the end zone, or will they try to kick away from Hester?

Probably they will use a combination of directional kickoffs (limiting him to one side of the field) and a deep ball. But you bring up an interesting point. This is one reason the Packers drafted and kept Crosby - to increase touchbacks. Crosby will earn his keep next Sunday.

I'm on the HOF committee, and I used up all my good will trying to get Graveyard Garrett in on the oldtimers exception. However, I don't think any sane person thinks that Brett won't be a unanimous first time HOF selection.

Now that Favre has broken Marino's record, do you think that the Dolphins themselves are getting nervous about Green Bay in regards to their 1972 undefeated season not being challenged?

I think they may be more concerned about the Colts.

The Packers are probably more concerned about Detroit than they are about the undefeated mark. Detroit is looking like a juggernaught, defeating the NFC representative to the Superbowl. It looks like Matt Millens' geat GM work is finally paying dividends.

Cleff,
I see a price to be paid with the Running Back By Committee. We saw a timing problem with Favre & Grant today. So much of offense is timing, the team will never get chemistry with the constant shuffle. Should they decide on a couple guys?

hospital televisions aren't the best and with the speakers located in those stupid remotes were you able to see and hear everything? that was a pretty low-brow announcing team for such a historic game don't you think?

Cleff watchin the game with the fellas and Nurse Ratchet at the Hospital.

Cleft the defensive line didn't get enough push today to clog up the running game, Have you ever clogged anything in a manly sort of way?

Nutz, Cleft is a busy Senior Citizen who's nice enough to spend an evening here with us. Why do you always have to spoil things with your rude, childish ways?

Harll,
While it's nice to have that 'go to' back, the Packers are trying to use the best talents of the guys they have. Brandon Jackson struggles in pass pro, Grant and Wynn aren't so quick, but Wynn has some power. It looks to me like Favre has enough Chemistry to go around. remember, it's likely that the run defenses will get a bit easier and the Packer offense will be able to run more effectively when conditions deteriorate. The offense is wisely taking what it's given and using it's best player to his fullest.

I was glad Ron Pitts didn't mention Elijah. That gets old after awhile (pun intended). The JS splurged and wheeled in a 13 inch B/W TV for me to watch the game. What they didn't splurge for was my hospital bill. But I kept saying 'no habla ingles' and I think I convinced them I was an illegal immigrant so they payed the bills.

That didn't seem so rude, Blue Dog. I just kind of wondered what it would mean to clog something in a manly sort of way.

Isn't it "no hablo ingles"?

I've mentioned before that I can bench press 275. I've given a few forearm shivers in the paint in my pick-up basketball days. Play to win I say - even in a neighborhood pickup game - even if I cost a few guys some teeth. I want to win.
