Some thoughts on last Sundays game, while I still remember a few things about it:

• Would have wrote this earlier, but was gone all week visiting the in-laws w/o internet access.  You never realize how much you miss something until it’s gone.
• I do remember last weeks game was cold.  Not so much the temperature, but the wind was just brutal.
• Wow - something resembling a running game.  Haven’t seen that all year.
• That first drive, even if it ended w/ only a field goal, was the best thing about the game.  It took about 10 1/2 minutes of the clock in pretty much real time.  For those of us in the stands, that was just great.
• If you needed any proof as to which is the better beer, Miller Lite seemed to freeze at least twice as fast as Blue Moon.
• This may have been the best game plan I saw Ron Turner call.  Not so much that is was varied and whatnot - overall, they stayed w/ the run - but once they established that, they also threw in some passes when the Packers didn’t expect it, and it worked well.
• Too bad Muhammad can’t catch worth a damn.  Game might have been over at halftime instead of early in the fourth.
• For a team that plays in the ‘Frozen Tundra’, the Packers looked like they wanted no part of being out in that weather.  Sort of like Atlanta during that Sunday Night game two seasons ago when Grossman came back.
• The defense finally played a good game.  Yes, they bent, but only broke the one time on Grants long TD run.  And they grabbed some timely turnovers.
• Another great week by special teams.  Two blocks?  Can’t remember the last time I’ve seen that.  It seemed that the Packers were ’so’ concerned of what they were going to do with the ball with Hester waiting to return it that if the snap wasn’t perfect, it allowed the block team enough time to get to the punter.  Between the two blocks and the 9-yard punt, Hester did his job w/o even touching the ball.
• Tried to sell the tickets and couldn’t.  While I’m glad we got to see what will probably be their best game of the season, it would have been nice to snag some money off of some Green Bay fans and have them watch that in person.  That would have been nice.
• One more game.  Not that excited to go, but it’s the last chance to have some pretty decent football food, have some Blue Moon out of a tap, and see some live football.
• Finally, if this overal miserable season has done nothing else, perhaps it’ll give the Bears a few more Noon starts next season.  I hate 3:15 and evening games in person.

Looking forward to the offseason…..
