And yet, the Packers are just a pick six away from a tie game. Does their defense have any big plays in them?

I suspect Diogenes has already composed his swear-laden post blaming it all on the refs for the Packers comeback. He’s just waiting to see what happens before he hits “send.”

Now. March the fucking thing down the field, take your time, and put it in the end zone.

I’ll say this: I can’t think of a quarterback I’d rather have for the next 5-10 years than Aaron Rodgers.

I think Aaron Rodgers just told me to call him.

Oh. look. Tht Packers got a couple of cute little garbage time touchdowns, and the cheeseheads are all excited. It’s going to just mak it that much more fun when A-Rodge throws another pick on this next play.

On the bright side, at least you Packer fans probably won’t have to watch that fat pig, McCarthy coach your team anymore.

Back when the Pack were really down, I consoled myself with the thought that, with the exception of our offensive tackles and starting CB’s, we’re a really young team, with a great young QB.

There is Donald Driver, finally!  
AND the TD!!!  
ETA: Not bad for a cute little garbage time touchdown. 😃

The zebras ignored all the holding on that play. They must have gotten a phone call during haltime ordering them to put the Packers back in this game. It won’t matter, though. Warner will take care of business and Rodgers is still garbage with a game on the line.
