Monday Night Football...running blog
I'm keeping a running blog of the Packers' game tonight. I'm basically ripping this idea off of Bill Simmons, better known as the "Sports Guy". He's a writer for Page 2 on espn.com. Anyway, I'm gonna give it a try tonight. We'll see how it goes...
7:02 - The ESPN pre-game show just showed a graphic that said 25 of Green Bay's 53 players are under the age of 25. That really makes me feel good about the game tonight.
7:13 - The last time Brett Favre didn't start a football game, gasoline was 1.12 a gallon, "Rosanne" was the number 1 tv show, and "Last of the Mohicans" was the number 1 movie...and I was 12 years old.
7:15 - I don't usually like red-headed women, but Rachel Nichols (the sideline reporter for the game) is actually very hot.
7:22 - The Packers haven't won at Philly since 1962. Their defense is still reeling from the 2004 play-off loss where they gave up a 4th and 26 with under a minute to go. They ended up losing the game and I ended up in a deep depression for the next two weeks.
7:23 - OK...here's what I think for tonight...Packers 27-Eagles 21. Defense will play well...Favre will play well. Upset win...I can feel it!!!
7:29 - Everyone on the pre-game show just picked Philly...all four of them!!!! And Mike Tirico just butchered the use of alliteration. And now there's a stupid silly samuri pregame opening that rivals anything completely crappy that I've ever seen...how's that for alliteration.
7:31 - The first Monday night game I watched Favre play was in 1993 against the KC Chiefs when Joe Montana was quaterbacking the Chiefs. The Packers lost.
7:40 - Packers to receive.
7:44 - 3 and out for Green Bay
7:47 - 3 and out for Philly...McNabb sacked!!!!!!
7:50 - 22 yard pass from Favre to Jennings...ball on the 33
7:52 - 1st and goal...incomplete pass...2nd and goal...we need to run it.
7:53 - Dropped pass by Driver in the end zone...he dropped two last week...catch the damn ball!!!
7:54 - field goal...3-0 Packers...not enough...needed a TD
8:00 - Donovan McNabb just had about four minutes to throw the ball...completion for 22 yards.
8:04 - FUMBLE!!!!! Packers recover inside their own 10 yard line...how about a 97 yard drive?!!!!
8:13 - 1:21 left in the 1st quarter and Favre has thrown 16 passes...the most first quarter passes in his career...by the way, McCarthy said he wanted to make it a priority to run the ball this season.
8:17 - The Packers are getting absolutely NO rush on the quaterback.
8:18 - End of the first quarter...3-0, Packers.
8:21 - Packers hold...Eagles punt. Green Bay has it at their own 10. I'm very concerned at the amount of pass plays the Packers have called. We have no running game right now...this doesn't look good. The more Favre throws, the more likely a pick is.
8:25 - 3 and out for the Pack
8:31 - NO PASS RUSH!!!! Eagles convert third and long.
8:33 - FUMBLE!!!! Again inside the Packers five...Packers ball...this is crazy!!!
8:35 - Packers fumble...Eagles recover inside the Packers' 10...I hate football!!!
8:38 - Touchdown Philly...7-3 Philly
8:46 - Dave Rayner field goal from 54 yards...7-6 Eagles.
9:04 - I hate referees...no pass interference call when the DB never let go of Jennings...settled for a field goal...9-7 Pack...1:42 left in the half.
9:13 - Third and long...SACKED!!!! How about that...a pass rush. 53 yard field goal attempt for Philly...kick is up and it's...a fake...ran out of bounds...Packers 9-7 at the half.
9:37 - Good opening drive for Philly...1st down on the Green Bay 32...they are running it all over Green Bay.
9:39 - Green Bay holds...Field goal Philly...10-9 Philly.
9:47 - Big catch from Jennings...Philly is challenging...
9:49 - Ruling on the field stands...30 yard pass play Favre to Jennings.
9:50 - Catch the *&^% ball, Driver!!!!! Right in the numbers.
9:51 - Eagles hold...Packers to attempt another 54 yard field goal...kick is up and it's...way off.
9:54 - Bad move to attempt the field goal...good field position for philly.
9:55 - Another huge pass play...TD Philly on Ahmad Carrol...he sucks!!!
10:00 - Another dropped pass...through the hands of Morency...intercepted by Philly. No help for Favre
10:03 - Pass interference on freakin' Ahmed Carrol...he sucks!!!!
10:04 - TD Philly...Green Bay looks completely lost...24-9 Philly. I hate football!!! I feel at least two more Favre int's...it all started with the Donald Driver dropped pass.
10:08 - Philly is pinning their ears back now...2nd and 20 on the Green Bay 10...intercpeted...flag down...penalty on Philly...1st down Green Bay.
10:12 - Philly is bringing the house every play...something bad is about to happen.
10:13 - 27 yard pass to Driver...1st down.
10:13 - interception...i'm shutting it down...had a guy open...underthrew him...I'm done...I can't take it...goodnight.
