Well, two of the home “Underdogs”, both the Cardinals and Chargers defied the experts and won on Saturday. It will be interesting to see if the Vikings can continue on that trend against the hotter than a Habenero Eagles. I got tickets, so I am crossing my fingers….

What has shocked me most about Pennington is that I’ve seen clips of him throwing accurate strong throws down the field this year. Not lasers mind you, but still strong throws. That was the major complaint about him for the past few years. Maybe the warm weather in south Florida has been kind to him…
I didn’t get a chance to watch the Pack/Bears game, but was very sad to see I was right with the final score. That is two years in a row now that GB has lose to the Bears late in the season when I needed them to win (last year they cost me $100 in a LowerBowl)… even if the Bears lose to Houston, the Vikings need to beat the Giants to get some momentum and confidence heading into the post season.

Thanks for the catch, I did mean Joey Harrington. Pennington has played too well for the Shockingly resurgent Miami Dolphins…who play AT the Jets this week. I believe if the Fins win, they are in.

I know it was an honest mistake, but now I’m picturing the mutant love-child of Chad Pennington and Joey Harrington… thanks Nursedude!

PS-Wade, you called it right on the head. Who would have thought that the Packers would piss away not one, but two field goals. The other thing I don’t understand, is how Mike Sherman went super conservative on his play calling-Rodgers was picking apart Chicago in the First half. Think about it: The Packers have blown 7 4th quarter leads this season…that is an astounding statistic.

You gotta give credit to the Bears for somehow hanging in a game where Kyle Orton looked like Chad Harrington in his worst Detroit days. Say what you want about the Bears and what a mediocre team they are-they do have heart, if nothing else.

What is the saying? “It’s hard to play football with both hands around your neck?” The one thing is that if Green Bay can knock Chicago out of the playoffs, it would make their season. Nationally televised home game for the Bears tonight, and they have generally played well on national TV this year. Interesting to note that there were quite a few upsets over the weekend, like San Diego winning big in Tampa, Seattle dumping the Jets, Buffalo beating Denver and Baltimore winning the last game at Texas Stadium Vs. the Cowpokes. Hopefully the Vikings can beat a Giants team with little but pride to play for, because eventhough the game will be close tonight, I agree, I think the Bears will win.
