Sweet Jebus, thank you for delivering the Green Bay Packers from the clutches of ineptitude and stupid penalties and granting them a victory over Detroit. Amen.
The Thanksgiving Classic yesterday between the Packers and Lions was very much like the typical family Turkey Day meal: There’s some jostling and cajoling when the family all first arrives, […]

The Green Bay Packers treated the home crowd at Lambeau Field to another victory today, beating the Carolina Panthers 31-17. Two games, two blowouts; hey guys, can we keep this up the rest of the season?
The passing game once again led the way in this game. Brett Favre had 218 yards and three touchdowns, his […]

Here’s something I haven’t felt in a very long time: Total happiness, joy, and satisfaction with the Green Bay Packers. It’s kinda weird, but after yesterday’s nearly flawless performance and total domination of the Vikings, I can’t think of anything really to criticize.
There were a couple pre-snap penalties on the offensive line, but the team […]

Packers win! 8-1! The Vikings suck!
Wow, what a performance at Lambeau Field today. For the first time this season Green Bay got a convincing win that didn’t require a fourth quarter comeback or the rubbing of any Buddha bellies to ensure victory. The Packers manhandled the Mulberry Mulligans in a 34-0 victory, handing Minnesota their […]

In two weeks we have seen Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers pull off two amazing road wins with huge plays late in the game. The football gods are smiling on Packer Nation but I’m not sure my heart can take this for much longer.
Green Bay’s 33-22 victory over the Chiefs featured seven lead […]

Freakin’ un-be-lievable.
So can we put to rest all those questions about Brett Favre’s arm strength after the whole country watched him hurl two picture perfect bombs for touchdowns at Mile High Invesco last night? The 79-yarder to James Jones in the first quarter was spot on target, and Jones deserves a lot of credit for […]

There was a point during the game today that I was ready to concede defeat and tried to convince myself that being 4-2 going into the bye week was pretty respectable. And the Green Bay defense took over the second half. Like they say over that the Wisconsin Sports Bar, thank Odin. Those guys really […]

It’s been a couple days now since the Sunday night debacle, I’ve calmed down a little bit, and Mrs. BratsNBeerGuy has called off the suicide watch. (Apologies, by the way, for my “bitter haiku” from the other night.) I’ve had a chance to put the loss into perspective, and I’m feeling better about everything. Though […]

F*cking turnovers. F*cking penalties. F*cking Bears.

A trip to the Metrodome is a lot like going to visit your dysfunctional in-laws: You can never get out of there without a little drama. Today was no different for the Packers, who nearly gave away the ball game after Ryan Grant fumbled a handoff from Brett Favre with under two minutes to play. […]
