Packer Prediction

Victory over the Tuna on Sunday.

Why?

Here's my recollection of a conversation I heard on the radio this morning:

Grady Jackson: I feel fine, my knee is fine, I'm ready to play. I just gotta convince Mike Sherman.

Reporter: How are you going to convince him?

Grady Jackson: I'll just put him in a headlock and hold him there until I'm in the lineup.

later ...

Reporter: So Grady Jackson is going to put you in a head lock until you put him in the lineup, how are you going to handle that?

Shermbutt: It shouldn't be too hard, I'll just toss some Snickers bars on the ground and he'll chase after them and release me.


I think they are loose, Rossley won't be directing the offense, and Dallas pretty much sucks. I think we'll pull it out.

There haven't been any calls for Sherman's head this week, ...I guess most people feel that he's got the message (albeit late) that the team needed an enema.

But I really think that it was the players that bailed him out. The players were playing for their own pride and self respect, I'm not convinced they were playing for Sherman. They got embarassed Monday night and couldn't wait to go out and reverse that.

I still think he needs to go. He's not the right person to have all the reigns. He's a better play caller than Rossley, perhaps he should just focus on that. He's got too much responsibility, he can't spread himself all around. Focusing on one thing is probably best for himself and for the team.
