I’ve already told you that I’m drinking the koolaid this year. At the beginning of the season I thought the Packers had a puncher’s chance at the playoffs. Now I think that puncher is Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed is still alive and training him. And Mickey Goldmill, too.
But with all this early success, you just know what’s coming. It’s something sinister, instilling fear and uncertainty into the exultant thoughts of Packer fans worldwide.
It’s theYabuts.
The Yabuts are coming.
And you may have already had encounters with some of them (I pray you survived!) - you’d know by the things you’d hear when they’re around:
Yabut, the Eagles weren’t really in sync when the Packers played them.
Yabut, the Giants had to field an injured quarterback and don’t have Tiki Barber.
And next week you’ll probably hear:
Yabut, the Chargers are not the same team with Norv Turner at the helm.
I suggest you avoid the Yabuts at all costs. The Packers have beaten every team placed in front of them. And each one of them is an above-average franchise, who had the same amount of practice and preseason work the Packers did. And this win had some of that same feel as last week, where you had an inner confidence that the defense would stand up to the potent offensive talent of San Diego. And when Favre took the field, unlike the last few years, you felt like the odds were better that he was going to will the team to a 4th quarter win than toss the other team the ball (and the win) from his knees after being spun 540 degrees.
So the Packers put another notch in their Desert Eagle .50, beating the San Diego Chargers 31-24, with the Minnesota Vikings next on the list.
Bring it.
