Thoughts
On Saturday my brother-in-law (a Vikings fan) asked me how I thought the Packers would do today.I said I thought they would lose, but that it would be closer than most people think. He informed me that the spread was 5 points, and I thought that sounded about right.
Sunday morning I read that McKenzie and Carrol were out of the game due to injury, and I thought to myself "they should double the spread".
Thought #1 - I didn't know Indy's defense was so bad. Had I known that, I would have given the Packers a better chance to win.
Thought #2 - There is only one question to ask at the end of this game, ...how high of a building should we toss Bob Slowik off of? And, should we stab him first? My answers are - at least 40 stories, and yes, GOD YES, PLEASE LET ME PERSONALLY DO IT.
Thought #3 - One of my very favorite pastimes is finding fault with professional sports officiating. This game had bad calls on BOTH sides. Yes. The Packers got some calls. However, 3 calls at the end of the game went against the Packers and had a direct impact on the game. The false start call against the Packers that was actually caused by the defense put the Packers in a first and 20 hole. The non-call on the play where Indy defensive back wiped out a Packers receiver while the ball was in the air. They said it was uncatchable, but that just negates pass interference. It DOES NOT negate illegal contact. Finally, the illegal contact call against the Packers on the Indy goalline at the end of the game. If I remember it right, it was 3rd down. The Packers had stopped Indy. They would have kicked the FG, and the Packers would have had almost 3 minutes to mount an almost impossible comeback. There was no illegal contact on that play, AND THE BALL WAS UNCATCHABLE!!! I guess that rule only applies when it goes AGAINST the Packers. Seriously, it was an outrage.
Thought #4 - Javon Walker had a great game. The Indy DB made a nice strip. I don't put the blame on him.
Thought #5 - Could Bob Slowik have a more appropriate name? SLOW. Slow to react. Slow to analyze. Slow to adjust. Slow to admit mistakes. Slow slow slow. I guess his name could be more appropriate if it was "OverHisHead StupidMotherFucker DumbshitAss-For-Brains".
Thought #5 - The defense proved that given an opportunity, it could play with the Colts. Not all the time, but enough to win. Barely. But Thumb-up-his-ass Slowik waited until Manning had tossed up 35 fucking uncontested points!!!!! before he made an adjustment. We would have had a good (GOOD) chance to win or put the game into overtime if the second-coming of Mike Shula wasn't calling our defenses. It took Troy Aikman about 72 seconds to figure out that the Packers were playing the wrong defensive scheme. Suck-shit Slowik? It took him 30 minutes of game time, an hour and a half of realtime, and did I mention 35 fucking uncontested points!!!!!
Had the defense not put in a better second half, I would seriously consider firing him on the spot. Fire him before he gets back to the locker room. Let him find his own transportation out of the stadium and out of Indianapolis, and make him pay his own hotel bill. Five straight touchdowns.
FIVE
STRAIGHT
TOUCHDOWNS
It does NOT get worse than that. How can it?
In my mind, he's on the chopping block. And Sherman, the genius who hired him? He's next.
