If you can make it in the pro's, your dog lives to old age.

I take this as a confession. Like OJ's "if i did it" book.

i'm waiting for us to get a damned TO

And Barnett kills him.

[run pMc]

Big stop! Nice to see some pressure on the QB. Does Lovie go for it?

[The Leaper]

I believe Madden is now at 18...my wife took over the computer so I had to rely on this little piggy and that little piggy.

[Lurker64]

Nice to finally get a sack.

Interestingly enough, Devine had been a leading candidate for the head coaching job at Notre Dame in 1964 when Ara Parseghian was hired. When he was approached for the job when Parseghian resigned, Devine accepted immediately, joking that it was probably the shortest job interview in history. Over the next six years, despite facing much of the same pressure at Notre Dame that he had endured in Green Bay, Devine compiled a 53-16-1 mark. His most lasting achievement came midway through this run, when the Fighting Irish won the 1977 national championship with a squad led by future Hall of Famer Joe Montana. Before that season's annual game against the University of Southern California on October 22, Devine changed the team's uniforms to bright green and gold, a status that would remain for the rest of his time at the school. He also added names to the players' jerseys on a permanent basis when he took over at Notre Dame. Prior to that, names had been included on jerseys only during bowl games. His teams won three bowl games, most notably the 1979 Cotton Bowl in which the Irish, trailing 34-12 with 7:27 remaining in the game, rallied behind quarterback Joe Montana for an incredible 35-34 victory.

53-16. 3 bowl games. Yeah. He sucked. Give it up. Shadow is right. That guy can just feel it.

Sheesh.

Then, I suppose that Pete Carroll sucks too. Whatever, dude. And you say Packnut refuses to admit when he's wrong? Look in the mirror. The guy with the problem is staring back at you. Take a good look.

Packers are starting inside their 20 because they short kickoff due to Hester. I don't like this strategy. I'll take my chances with Hester to get better field position.

[run pMc]

Crap. GB needs to sort out the penalties and the kickoffs. I don't like the field position GB is giving up.

Well, at least CHI declined the penalty.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Jennings is in for x-rays on his shoulder.

I hate to see it as well, but I guess MM is trying to limit the momentume that the opposing team can gain by a return for a TD

Lets hope his plan works.........

Devine was successful in Green Bay?
I stand corrected. I thought he was practically run out of town.

Jennings is in for x-rays on his shoulder.

I didn't see him get hurt....

I was thinking the same thing - it's a lack of trust in kickoff coverage... field position has played a big part of this game - lots of yards but not a lot of points...
