From ESPN: They never even try to hammer people, they can't stop teams when it
matters and even a patchwork secondary such as the one thrown together
by the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday no longer needs to live in fear of
Aaron Rodgers.
Ten months after reeling off 19 victories in a row, the big, bad
Green Bay Packers no longer intimidate anyone, and they can't even
protect a 21-3 halftime lead against a once-proud franchise starting
over from scratch.
The wholesale collapse concluded when Mason Crosby basically choked,
wildly hooking a 51-yard attempt that would have forced overtime.
It was the second miss for Crosby in a flat, disjointed, puzzling
performance by the Packers, a seven-point favorite. Though less
talented, the Colts just seemed to want it more and, in the end, they
richly deserved their 30-27 victory at Lucas Oil Stadium.
"We've got the ability, but we're playing bad football," defensive
end Ryan Pickett said. "We play well in spots and then we just die.
We're not a good team."
At 2-3, the Packers sit two games behind Chicago and Minnesota in the
NFC North and are tied for the ninth-best record in the NFC. The last
three times they started 2-3 or worse, they finished 6-10, 8-8 and 4-12. http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/173026821.html
And the Wisconsin Badgers, for the 2nd week in a row and despite beating Illinois, did not receive a single vote in the ESPN poll, for the 2nd week in a row. When was the last time that has happened?
At least, those of us in Las Vegas have the UNLV Running Rebels football team... oh wait, they suck as well.
Crap, football wise, I am just screwed.
