Favre and the Horny Helmets won today

As did the Packers.

Favre connected on a 60 yard bomb to Rice (was it?) that was incredibly impressive.

Oh! I said I put up a couple pix to show how things are going at Mom's house.

Well, here's the bunch I brought out trick or treating:



Quite the cute bunch, aren't they?




Here's Mom and the family:












And, Fall in Muskogee:

So, the Giants won

And, since my last post, that applies to both the NFC Championships against my Packers and the Superbowl.

And, guess what? I'm one of the guys who dissed them both times. They look like a team that can't handle what they're going to go up against until the game ends. I mean, how can a team that barely eaks out a win in every game keep that up through the Superbowl, where they faced the best offense anybody's ever seen?!

[Here's a great recap.]

Answer: the Giants' defense is better than any we've ever seen. They make great offenses look like amateurs.

If they can do that to the Patriots, it makes me feel a helluva lot better about my Packers. In fact, since the Pack took them into overtime, it makes me think that "we" [yeah, like I had a hand in it somehow] might have beaten the Patriots. Favre seemed to be pretty well protected in the NFC Championship game. The Giants' D were all over Tom Brady.

If only there weren't this other team out there.

Hey! It's absolutely THE Cinderella Story that every American kid dreams about when he's out in the yard tossing a football to himself. With 2 minutes and 30-something seconds to go in the game, the Giants get the ball back deep in their own territory and Eli Manning engineers an 83-yard drive - in the face of fierce opposition - with two major completions to David Tyree...well, I guess the NFL frowns on unauthorized published descriptions of their games, but it ended with an easy-looking TD completion to Burress with just over 30 seconds left.

It would have taken a miracle for Brady to pull it out at that point. Brady tried his best to provide that miracle, and nobody would have put it past him, but the Giants' D wasn't allowing any miracles yesterday.

[OMG! You didn't see that screw-up, did you? If you did, well, I confused Tyree with Moss in the last two drives. ACH!]

I tend to notice things like blocking and pass protection when I'm watching games, and both defenses were tearing the O-lines up, so when I see a defensive struggle it takes a while for me to figure out what went wrong. It looked like incompetence... but I was focussing on the wrong side of the ball.

I...OMG! The Packers are playing today!!

OK! The game's tied 14-14! You can say I haven't missed anything.

Snowin' hard at Lambeau Field! Awesome.

Fumble...the Pack's got it!

I'm not gonna do a play by play ... Favre lobs a TD!
.......

Oh, isn't that fun? Blogger just wiped out my brilliant description of Favre's escape from the sackers and the shovel pass for first and goal that set up an easy three yard run for touchdown.

The Pack has now tied the team record for first half points in the playoffs with 28.

Seattle scored a Field Goal. Score now 28-17.
.........
OK, after all that crap, the score is now 42-20. A new Packers record for post-season points.

The Packers finally have to punt. Crap!

Wait to buy it until the owner gets back in charge.

Nobody's able to move the ball in this weather.
........
Seattle pulls a couple running plays and the game's over!

Favre 173 yards, 3 TDs. And my daughter was impressed by the announcer's mention of the snowball.

Packers 34, Vikings 0

Awesome!

I want to know how San Diego did, though. I was thinking that, after the Vikes womped them last week, the Packers were in for some $#!# this week. But nope. The Vikes absolutely rolled over and let Favre and the boys have their way with them. Of course, I had to watch every minute of it. Hadda make sure they'd hold the shut-out. They tried to give up a TD toward the end of the fourth, but Bollinger decided to toss the capper to our guy.

Here's what else we've been up to this weekend:




I bagged up about half that pile.

One more?
