I think he looked better than Favre.
Favre was playing desperate right from the get go.
It was what I’d initially said, but I’m too much of a lady (and a coward) to say it. Besides, I have a tendency to start stuff I can’t finish, if you know what I mean.
People think I’m cute when I try to talk smack.

As did everybody who’s not a GB fan, but we can’t openly give Rodgers any credit.
Allow me…
YEAAAHHHH!!! Suck it Cheeseballs! Al Harris was T.O’s bitch tonight. Have fun watching Aaron Rodgers take sacks for the rest of the season!
Watch my butt dance.

I hope you enjoyed that.
That’s what I thought too. Favre has always had these occasional trainwreck games for his entire career, and they often come in big games. It doesn’t get said out loud much, but he’s kind of a choker.
If nothing else at least I’ll have a little more to say about it around the water cooler tomorrow. Thanks for your answers to my questions everyone.
Brett Favre is the most overrated player in the history of the NFL. He throws tons of interceptions, and for some reason everyone gives him a pass on his bad decisions. He tries to force balls into double and triple coverage, and the typical response from guys like John Madden is, “Well, he was just trying to make a play!” Of course, if you constantly throw passes into double and triple coverage, eventually you are going to complete one and then everyone says, “WOW did you see that play??”
It is truly unbelievable the amount of ball sucking that goes on in the booth whenever the talk gets around to Brett Favre.
In terms of his overratedness, Brett Favre is right up there with the Beatles. The only thing that makes Brett slightly better than the Beatles is that he was never married to Yoko Ono.
Wasn’t he? I was rooting for Dallas, but still, man Harris got burned every play even that “Interception” only got to him because he was in the wrong place.
I had the 15 and I wish I had the 16. Dallas is my team and I know Dallas significantly better than I know the rest of the league. As the week progressed, I thought about it and moved my Confidence up from 1 to about 8. I was fairly sure Dallas would win given Dallas’ greater breadth of talent plus home field advantage.
Then, when I heard the GB corners might be out, I thought, screw it, Dallas will win and I am willing to roll the dice and live or die backing my team. However, since I don’t follow the rest of the league too much, I trust my instincts much more with Dallas than I would with any other team. I had a pretty good vibe here with my 'Boys and ran with it.
I was watching at a sports bar that was showing it. Some GB fan behind me was yammering something like, “If Favre were still in the game, things would be different.”
I commented, “Actually, the backup QB was doing quite well for them – better than Favre did early.” Dude and a girl next to him were shaking their heads and looking at me like I’d grown another head.
But… with:
Rodgers 18/26 for 201 yards and 1 TD
Favre 5/14 for 56 yards and 2 INTs.
Well, I guess it’s just Cheesehead Logic.
Cowboys defense was owning Favre in the first 20 minutes of the game.
Speaking of which… Favre has a potential successor in the ball-sucking-in-the-booth circles. Anybody watch the FSU at UF game last Saturday?
Okay, I was in mourning over my Noles (although thrilled at the 60-yard FG that the FSU kicker nailed) – BUT… the announcers were unceasingly professing their undying love and lust for Tebow for 3+ hours. I don’t think they knew the names of any of the other UF players – I never heard them uttered. If this keeps up, Tebow will be the next “Most fellated by announcers” player, following in Favre’s footsteps.
Me, too. I think they stepped up and proved that they are clearly the best in the NFC right now. Now I’m just waiting for that Dallas / New England rematch in the Super Bowl. (Although I wouldn’t be shocked if somebody surprises the Pats in the AFC playoffs. Seems to be the pattern in recent years – the big AFC “Nobody can beat them team” ends up falling in the playoffs to somebody else, a la San Diego last year).
Funny. I was just thinking that today since the Chargers are still intact from last year, maybe Norv figures everything out in Foxboro in January. That would be great.
QB Ratings for last night’s game:
Romo 125
Rodgers 104
Favre 8.9
While he was in the game, Favre sucked.
Oh, and Bryant Gum-ball is a freakin’ idiot. Despite his claims, I’m pretty sure nobody ever said that Marion Barber is the heart of Green Bay’s offense. There were a couple other times during the game that he referred to Dallas players as playing for GB. And Cris? Calling Witten (I think it was Witten), a “tool”? That’s usually in insult. As in “Cris Collinsworth, you’re a tool.”
Yeah, I mentioned that to my husband last night–TWICE I noticed that he said GB when he meant Dallas.
And I burst out laughing over the “tool” comment. Told DH that they might wanna rephrase that one!
My Boys did me proud last night, though! I knew this would be a tougher game than some they’d played, and I’m glad they came through with the win! 
Gumble also teased us with an upcoming interview with Rick Romo. I can’t wait to hear it! 
Yeah,what is up with Gumball? On top of referring to the Cowboys as the Packers a few times…I think he even called the Cowboys New England at least once.
I watched some of the game and all I’ve got to say is I have no idea how the heck Green Bay got to be 10-1 (10-2 now). They have to be the weakest 10 win team in NFL history. Until they got cocky and let up, Dallas looked like they were playing a high school team.
Also, I think some of GB’s coaches are complete numbnuts for thinking what’s-his-face could handle T.O. pretty much by himself. They should’ve had their nastiest defender jack T.O. up at the line every play, even if it meant having a weak spot somewhere else.
Speaking of teases, they opened with a tease about all the QBs drafted ahead (well, really just drafted) of Romo, but all we got was a 10 second condensed version late in the game. That blew. Collinsworth is okay, but Gumble needs to go. I bet Deion could do better play by play.
That’s right, I went there. Now 10 days off to get better and hope Terry Glen can finally get healthy.
That says it all.
He did suck last night, though.
I suspect that by this time next year, all of the announcers will be stroking Tony Romo the same way they’re doing Favre, Manning, and Brady now. It’s annoying enough already.
